(Hong Kong, 5 May 2021) — With city-wide events happening in May celebrating the culture of art, Gradini Ristorante E Bar Italiano at The Pottinger Hong Kong is collaborating with La broderie, an emerging home-grown luxury brand, to present a butterfly-themed “The dream” afternoon tea set praising the intangible cultural heritage of embroidery art.
Chinese embroidery is famous for its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, while the French style emphasises the use of various materials to create a three-dimensional sense. The combination of traditional Chinese and classic French embroidery techniques at La broderie resonates with the east meets west character of The Pottinger. Inspired and fascinated by one of La broderie’s jewellery series “The dream” Butterfly Collection, where colorful and glamourous butterfly brooches are hand- embroidered with 18K-gold and diamond, Executive Chef Cano Chan has created a gastronomic garden presented in a bird cage featuring savouries including Foie Gras Mousse in Mini Cone, Parma Ham with Truffle Honey, Cucumber with Dill Cream Cheese Wrap, Duck Rillettes Sandwich, and dainty desserts such as Moscato Jelly with Mixed Berries Foam, Macaron, Fruit Tart, and Lemon Meringue Tart. Traditionalists will enjoy a selection of scones dressed with clotted cream and cherry jam complemented with freshly brewed illy coffee, premium whole-leaf teas by Tea WG or Summer Iced Tea. Each guest will also receive a voucher for redemption of a 100% wool scarf valued at HK$1,150 with any purchase of “The dream” collection at La broderie throughout the promotion.
