To celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8, The Londoner Macao’s iconic British-themed Churchill’s Table is presenting three flavourful dishes from June 6 to 30, all featuring sustainable and responsibly sourced seafood.
The World Oceans Day special menu was initiated by the Hong Kong Sustainable Seafood Coalition, with the participation of over 30 leading restaurants and hotels in Hong Kong and Macau. The aim of the campaign is to save depleting fish stocks and advance the sustainable seafood market in Hong Kong and Macau through good sourcing practice. Gourmands can savour a refreshing and environmentally friendly seafood feast at Churchill’s Table while gaining a greater understanding of the importance of safeguarding our oceans.
“At Churchill’s Table, we have always adhered to the philosophy of protecting the environment and supporting social responsibility,” says Tom Connolly, Senior Vice President of Food and Beverage Operations, Sands China Ltd. “The three carefully crafted dishes we are offering diners are no exception, highlighting our firm commitment to sustainability in terms of sourcing, farming and harvesting of ingredients. While enjoying sumptuous gourmet prepared by our talented culinary team, diners can also raise their environmental awareness, which will benefit us all.”
The three seafood dishes presented by Churchill’s Table bring the freshness of the sea to the table. Cod with Champagne Beurre Blanc features certified sustainable cod slow-cooked in seaweed butter, served with fresh prawn croquette, pea purée, sautéed pak choi, citrus razor clams and salmon roe, composing a harmony of sublime flavours. To ensure no wastage of these gifts from the sea, all prawn shells and fish bones were used in making the rich and tasty sauce to enhance natural flavours.
Diners should not miss Britain’s signature dish – the classic fish and chips! Premium silver cod from the clean waters of Canada is coated in beer batter, then deep-fried to be crispy and golden-brown on the outside, and tender and flaky on the inside. The dish is served with traditional English accompaniments – minted mushy peas, tartar sauce and malt vinegar, which refreshes and brings out the sweetness of the fries.
Scallop fried rice is crafted with top-quality scallops that breed naturally in Canada. The unique, nutrient-rich environment yields a soft, delicate flesh and a slightly sweet taste. Wok-fried with English white pudding sausage, wild rice, quinoa and organic vegetables, and topped with pine nuts and crispy sweet potato, the dish offers a healthier and more flavoursome combination of ingredients than traditional fried rice.
Churchill’s Table boasts dishes that feature responsibly sourced ingredients and embody the concept of sustainability, and strives to help guests and the public make educated choices. The restaurant aims to continue to bolster the sustainable food market through good sourcing practice and implement more initiatives to preserve the environment and eco-diversity.
