Glittering Lan Kwai Fong restaurant Gold by Harlan Goldstein is celebrating its first annual white truffle season with a gastronomic menu dedicated to the prized delicacy. The world’s rarest and most expensive food is showcased in seven unique new styles by celebrity Hong Kong chef Harlan Goldstein – each featuring two carefully measured grammes of the treasured tuber.

In keeping with tradition, culinary marriages with egg are prominent on the tribute menu to the revered underground mushrooms hunted only during the autumn by trained pigs and dogs in Italy's Piedmont region.

Chef Goldstein pairs them with Soft Italian Scrambled Egg and Snipped Chives (HK$388) and decadently with Slow-Cooked Organic Egg on Toast of Brioche, Porcini Mushroom and Masala Foie Gras Sauce (HK$468), and Hand Crafted Ravioli with Melting Egg, Ricotta Cheese and Hazel Nuts (HK$488).

In a Piedmont recipe, the gourmet ‘gift of the gods’ is served as Alba-Style Truffle Tagliolini Pasta with Italian White Butter and Parmigiano (HK$488). Chef Goldstein’s personal favourite is the White Risotto with Mascarpone Cheese and Fava Beans (HK$488).

White truffle dressing graces Prime Beef Carpaccio with Burrata Cheese (HK$448), with the earthy, garlicky tuber also complementing Slow-Cooked Dutch Veal Cheek with Cauliflower Foam and Morel Mushrooms (HK$588). Additional portions of white truffle can also be ordered from HK$148 per gramme.

With its own outdoor lounge terrace overlooking Wyndham Street and Lan Kwai Fong, Gold transforms into a late-night cocktail bar after 10.30pm to 11pm, with visiting DJs from as far afield as Ibiza, London and Australia.

Gold by Harlan Goldstein is located at Level 2 LKF Tower, 33 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong. For reservations, call (852)-2869-9986.
