Soy Sauce Tasting & Dinner 4

 

Soy Sauce Tasting Dinner 5Soy sauce, an essential ingredient in Chinese cuisine, was developed by Buddhists more than 2,500 years ago to complement their vegetarian diets. Later, Dutch merchants introduced the salty elixir to the kitchens of the Sun King, Louis XIV, of France in the late 17th century and named it “black gold”.

Veronica Yu of Candied Fish has designed a unique dining experience for Slow Food Hong Kong members and friends: a soy sauce tasting workshop and dinner at the beautiful creative space Plantation in Sheung Wan on July 8. Space is limited to 16 seats so register soon!
