The latest evolution of The Manor’s Stories of the Sea – the Eighth Chapter – offering a wealth of seafood extravagance and showcasing the finest ingredients of seas of the world will be available from 13 May, 2021.
The six-course menu, crafted by Executive Sous Chef Michele Dell’Aquila has been designed to highlight the freshness of the seafood and tantalize the taste buds with exceptional flavor and texture.
“My philosophy behind the latest Stories of the Sea menu is to select the finest offerings available as we enter the warmer months, and then create dishes with uncomplicated flavoring and garnishes so that the seafood is the star of the dish,” Chef Michele said.
“This not only reflects the way we do things at The Manor, but more importantly for guests it ensures that flavor and texture of the seafood are at the forefront.”
Signature dishes of Stories of the Sea – the Eighth Chapter, include fresh Belon Oyster served with yuzu sorbet and tapioca passion fruit, and aged raspberry vinegar foam. The acidity of the citrus and berries balance the saltiness and strong flavors of the oyster, providing a sense of freshness on the palate.
The eighth iteration of the Stories of the Sea menu includes seared Sturgeon capped with Baerii caviar and a selection of rich side dishes featuring French ratte potatoes, then followed by smoked Atlantic Mackerel with green beans, soaked in tuna fish broth and garnished with mackerel tartare and Oscietra caviar.
To maintain the tender texture of the fish, Chef Micheles uses a variety of cooking techniques to maximize flavors, including searing, smoking and the gentle sous-vide method that slowly cooks the fish in a vacuum over a longer time to preserve the delicate nature of the fish.
The sous vide Rock Fish ‘Kasago’ paired with black ink orzo and sakura shrimp, cress and zucchini flower, and succulent Mediterranean Sea Bass with baby funnel and seaweed butter, salt pickled cherry blossom powder and Loire Valley asparagus will both satisfy guests with their robust yet simple flavors.
For a perfect end, the Strawberry Sensation featuring strawberries imported from France, will delight with a strawberry mousse and a light ganache with strawberries freshly marinated and balanced with an intensely flavored basil ice cream.
A carefully curated wine pairing has been prepared by Sommelier David Duan, featuring a selection of premier wines from France, Italy, New Zealand and Germany and matched perfectly with the ocean flavors of each course.
The Stories of the Sea – The Eighth Chapter set dinner menu is available from 6:00PM – 11:00PM and priced at MOP888+* per person, or MOP1,288+* per person with the paired wine package.
