This Easter, celebrate the East European Orthodox way with Slow Food Hong Kong at Dacha on Hollywood Road! The newly opened and unique Dacha was started by two Ukrainian sisters in Hong Kong out of their passionate for their culture, traditions and foods.
They have prepared a special menu for us that reflects the Easter celebrations of Ukraine and parts of Russia. During the forty days of Lent (Orthodox Christians fast), meat and fish are avoided and eating is kept to a minimum. When Easter arrives, the feast rolls out and the celebrations begin!
After breakfast, people visit friends and neighbours with them baskets of painted eggs and Easter breads known as Paska (or Kulich). Paska is a tall cake decorated with colourful icing, only made and eaten during Easter to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. After that, the feast begins in earnest with many meat and fish dishes.
Traditional dishes on offer are the pork shashlyk grilled for maximum flavour, and Kamchatka wild salmon, a real treat. For the vegetarians among us, we have delicious vegetable pierogi dumplings.
Olena and Oksana are offering us the chance to bring our own wine and have generously waived corkage charges for the evening.
Please come and join us!
