Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel
Dining, 9 January 2024
Diners can kick off the beef extravaganza with the mouth-watering appetiser of Thin Sliced Roasted Veal with Tuna, Mayonnaise, Capers and Anchovy Sauce (HK$288). This traditional Piedmontese favourite showcases the smooth yet delicate flavours of Italian veal and elevates its tender texture with a beautiful balance of rich and acidic flavours, bringing a heavenly taste that satisfies all palates.
For the main course, guests can indulge in beef delicacies from various regions across Italy. Guests can choose from the hearty Roman-style Mezze Maniche with Stewed Beef Tail “Vaccinara Style”, Tomato Sauce, Pecorino (HK$348) or the iconic Homemade Traditional Lasagne with Italian Minced Beef Ragout “Sunday Style” (HK$328). The chef-recommended highlight is the Braised Veal Shank Ossobuco “Milanese style”, Saffron Risotto and Gremolata (HK$458). This traditional dish from Milan features fall-off-the-bone tender veal shanks that are slow-simmered for three hours in a flavourful white wine sauce with various herbs and vegetables. The meat is then topped with fresh gremolata on saffron risotto. With the rich marrow paired together with the aromatic risotto, this dish brings together an irresistible combination.
Meat lovers can also delight in two grilled steak options that feature Italy’s unique and premium Carima Beef. Carefully selected based on cattle typology and conformation, this beef represents the finest female Italian and European breeds that are 15 to 24 months old. The beef boasts an evenly distributed fat marbling, thus delivering its gentle yet characteristic flavours. Simple and delicious, the Grilled Carima Beef Sirloin Tagliata, Rocket Salad, Tomatoes, Parmesan, Saba Sauce (HK$528) is a must-try dish. The juicy beef perfectly complements the fresh flavours of the rocket and tomato and is enhanced by the sweet-and-sour saba sauce.
Carnivores can also indulge in the Grilled Porterhouse Steak, Rosemary Oil, Smoked Sea Salt Flakes (HK$1,288). Perfect for sharing, this culinary masterpiece features the finest Carima beef. The steak is expertly cooked to perfection, making it tender, flavourful and juicy.
The six delectable beef dishes will be available for lunch and dinner on Cucina’s à la carte menu from 10 January until 31 March 2024. During this period, guests can embark on an unforgettable culinary journey to savour the finest Italian beef and indulge in an extraordinary dining experience.
