Throughout July 2009, Chef Vittorio Lucariello of Angelini has come up with a four course summer black truffle set dinner menu. The dishes are creatively prepared so that the natural strong, earthy flavours of black truffles, which are also known as �the diamond of the kitchen,� are retained. Priced at only HK$780 per person, the set dinner, with each course fused with summer black truffle, features Sardinian Red Prawns stuffed with Dungeness Crab; Tagliatelle with Spinach Carbonara Sauce; a main course of either Roasted Dover Sole with Potato Crust and Cauliflower Pur�e or Seared Pigeon Breast and Leg Confit with Castelluccio Lentils and String Bean Salad. The menu ends on a sweet note with Sweet Moscato Wine Cr�me. For reservations, please call 2733 8750.

Guests can look forward to a gastronomic adventure this summer and indulge in eel (unagi) dishes at Nadaman. Eel is an all-time favourite Japanese delicacy, especially during the summer, as it contains vitamin A, which the Japanese believe helps prevent heat stroke. Head Chef Takaya Ishizuka displays his usual culinary flair and features wild eel from Japanese waters with a highlight on Japanese Eel Rice in a Hot Stone Bowl; Broiled Wild Japanese Eel with Sweetened Sauce or Charcoal Grilled with Wasabi and Soya Sauce; Wild Japanese Eel Rice in Lacquer Box with Eel Liver Clear Soup; Broiled Japanese Eel, Slices of Cucumber and Seaweed with Vinegar Sauce; Grilled Eel and Egg Roll; and Japanese Eel Rice in Soup. The wild eel delicacies are available from 10 July to 15 August 2009. Please call 2733 8751 for reservations.

The July promotion at the Michelin two-star Shang Palace features a variety of Lingzhi and tea leaf dishes as the chef�s specials. Executive Chinese Chef Ip Chi-cheung and his team expertly prepare a medley of healthy dishes with Lingzhi, known to boost the immune system and strengthen the respiratory system, together with different kinds of tea leaves. Some of the highlights are Stewed Fresh Teal with Chinese Herbs and Lingzhi; Double Boiled Crocodile Meat with Chinese Yam and Lingzhi; Smoked Fresh Coral Trout with Chinese Tea Leaves; Saut�ed River Shrimp with Long Jing Tea and Tianjin Pear; Steamed Rice with Fresh Frog, Black Mushroom and Rose Tea Leaves; and Boiled Pig Lung with Chinese Yam and Lingzhi.
