Cultivating Micro Algae: Site Visit and Lunch
Micro algae are one of the fastest growing plant cells in nature. They need only sunlight and nutrients to grow, but are a good source of protein – giving them great potential as an alternative food to meat.
Geb Impact Technology is a Hong Kong based premium biotech company that cultivates selected micro algae. They engineer and design production processes to meet emerging healthy lifestyle market demands, applying high-value bioactive elements from micro algae to serve various industries – from skin care, cosmetics to culinary sectors.
In this special collaboration with Slow Food Hong Kong, we will visit Geb Impact’s pilot site in Sheung Shui to learn about their homegrown micro algae cultivation technology. We will also visit a farm nearby, which will supply their vegetables for the 6-course farm-to-table lunch that features micro algae as a cooking ingredient.
Justin Chan – nutritionist, columnist and chef – will present us with the micro algae-themed dining experience at Si Ting Gourmet. He has opened up a whole new dimension to culinary art that inspires the senses without compromising the nutritional value.
Lunch menu (subject to change without further notice): welcome drink; salad; salmon crostini; uni hash brown; soup; beek cheek / fish taco; dessert.
