Hong Kong, August 1, 2008 – Chef Leung at Hoi King Heen introduces a refreshing new menu featuring summer floral and invigorating teas that is not just delicious and fresh but potentially beneficial to good health and a sharp mind.
In cuisine, tea, flowers and fruits are popular throughout Asia but few chefs have synergized their properties into one menu. Chef Leung believes that cooking with tea and fruits is set to be a new trend in Chinese cuisine.
The popularity of tea lies not only in its many flavours but also in its medicinal properties. “Tea makes people more energetic and lifts the mood,” explained Chef Leung. “Tea helps to digest food, relieve irritability, and removes greasiness. It’s good to have tea during the summer because of its ability to minimize effect of summer heat, such as excessive sweating, dehydration, irritability, and headaches.
“Both teas and flowers can also absorb oil during the cooking, which can reduce fat consumption and enrich the flavours!” Chef Leung said. In fact, fruits are generally high in fiber, water and vitamin C. Regular consumption of fruit is associated with reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke and some of the functional declines associated with aging.
To beat the summer heat, Chef Leung has created a refreshing dish - “Prawn cocktail with relish”, consists of chilled prawns served in chenpi and kiwi dressing, a perfect dish to start in a hot summer. He also recommends “Stir-fried Squid mixed with Diced Green Mango and Bell Peppers”. Mango contains diverse essential vitamins and dietary minerals, many of which are particularly high in content of antioxidant vitamins A, C and E.
Apart from that, you would also like to try the “Stewed eel fillet and frog meat with blueberries and Longjing tea”, featuring the distinguish flavour of the Longjing tea which infused the fragrant into the eel and frog legs, at the same time the blueberries brought out the colour and added the sweetness of the dish. Research also found that blueberry consumption can lower cholesterol and able to control blood pressure.
