Available on December 24, 25 and 31, the festive menu (HK$2,480 per person) provides delicacies that immediately spark the holiday mood. Following Amuse Bouche, the meal begins with delicious appetizers, a highlight being the Hokkaido Hairy Crab, Eggplant, Hokkaido Uni, Oscietra Caviar. The dish features hairy crabs from Hokkaido, provides dense, delicious meat with a firm texture and exceptional sweetness. The hairy crab meats are wrapped with a layer of Tosazu Jelly that is made of sweetened soy sauce and vinegar infused with bonito flakes, which given sweet and sour flavours accentuating the sweetness of the crab meat. Pairing with the Japanese eggplant, only the middle part is selected and cooked with dashi. The Hokkaido Uni and Oscietra Caviar on top give a lavish touch and extra umami to the dish. Chef Konishi made everything in one bite-size to ensure diners taste all the flavours as a whole.
 
Making the height of elegance, Chef Konishi selects wild duck and pigeon from France to create Wild Duck & Pigeon Pie, Rouennaise Sauce. The wild duck and pigeon meat are marinated with Brandy, sage and thyme for 3 days to tame the gaminess, followed by turning half of them minced and half of them in dice as filling, and bake the pie until it turns golden in colour. The pie is served with Rouennaise Sauce that involves long preparation hours; first, the bones and giblets are soaked into the red wine for 1 week, then cook with butter, garlic, shallots and soaked red wine for another 6 hours to form demi-glace, lastly finish up with the addition of puréed duck liver to become the classic French Rouennaise Sauce, perfect for pairing with gamey dishes.
