Maestro takes his turn
Two-star Michelin chef Paco Roncero will be in Hong Kong on Dec 4 to present his nouvelle cuisine at View 62, the revolving restaurant atop Hopewell Centre.

After the demonstrations, diners will enjoy the 17-course tasting menu including such dishes as frozen gazpacho rock with king crab (pictured) and Wagyu confit with pear and coconut. The meal includes wine pairings at HK$2,300 ($300) per person.
