China Dinner

Bailliage of Chongqing, China
Chongqing, March 3, 2018

Chinese New Year celebrated with JP Chenet wines
" we were seated in a circular fashion in HOME's open yet intimately cosy atmosphere "

The Lunar Year of the Dog was heralded by the Bailliage with a French-styled event at the newly-opened HOME Restaurant in the Jiangbei District of Chongqing.

“This dinner marks the first of many dining experiences for Chongqing members this 2018”, enthused Bailli Dominik Widmer as he raised his glass of JP Chenet sparkling wine to 30 members and their guests present.

Six different JP Chenet sparkling wines were served. Inspired by the fruity flavours of these aromatic sparkling wines, Chef Jason Jaesang Kim created seven outstanding fusion dishes to delight our palates and to complement the smooth, easy-to-drink taste of each bubbly.

Fused flavours of the East and West were in harmony. As Chongqing is a land-locked city, flanked by two rivers, fresh seafood is not readily available our menu was remarkable.

At the reception, traditional Korean delicacies were enjoyed as we raised a glass to the New Year:
- Tteok Galbi, a typical Korean bulgogi beef favourite served with black truffle paste and toasted pine nuts 
- Haemul Pajeon, cleverly harmonized with seafood and green onion
- Dashi-infused sea scallop, sweet chili fluid, pepper sauce, sesame-soy pearls.

For dinner we were seated in a circular fashion in HOME’s open yet intimately cosy atmosphere.
