Experience a unique farm-to-table feast at Luma which features a curated tasting menu by chef Alvin Leung of Café Bau and his protégé Kasey Chan. Known for his inventive approach to traditional cuisine, Leung has crafted a menu that honours Hong Kong’s local ingredients while placing sustainability at the forefront. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders, this collaboration highlights the finest seasonal produce from the region, reflecting Leung’s dedication to reducing his carbon footprint and minimising food waste.
The journey begins with an amuse-bouche that sets the tone for the meal. As diners progress through the courses, they are treated to carefully reimagined nostalgic dishes. The caviar abalone, paired with Chinese yellow wine and a bright citrus gel, offers a balance of oceanic richness and zesty freshness. The pork knuckle, a nod to classic Hong Kong comfort food, is elevated with Pat Chun vinaigrette and paired with a velvety potato purée, topped with a perfectly cooked local egg and stem ginger.

A standout from the seafood offerings is a butter-poached lobster, perfectly cooked until tender and complemented by fermented bean curd, pepper sauce and a delicate coconut foam. This dish, available as an optional supplement, encapsulates Leung’s ability to fuse tradition with contemporary technique, bringing out the lobster's natural sweetness while layering it with bold, unexpected elements.
For those seeking a more robust main course, the grilled tenderloin is presented with black garlic, asparagus, pine nuts, chanterelle mushrooms and truffle jus, creating an indulgent yet balanced dish that speaks to Leung’s mastery of flavour combinations. Alternatively, the roasted Saam Wong chicken, served with an assortment of mushroom rice, offers a more rustic and comforting option, celebrating the depth of local produce in every bite.
The experience is rounded off with inventive desserts that continue the theme of locally sourced ingredients. The palm sugar gelato is paired with a light water chestnut pudding and crunchy pumpkin seed crumble while the soy crème caramel offers a satisfying finish with its smooth texture and rich caramelisation.
Diners can also opt for a wine pairing that complements the intricate flavours of the menu. Whether it's the brightness of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut enhancing the caviar abalone or the earthy richness of a Beaujolais Domaine de Veruus Régnié harmonising with the grilled tenderloin, each glass elevates the experience to new heights.
