2025 Hilton Chef's Seasonal Menu at Golden Leaf

Limited-time dishes that you must act fast to enjoy! I had the pleasure of savoring a delightful Chinese meal, but since it's only available for a short period, I can only cherish the memory deeply. To celebrate Hilton Group's Chef's Season, Hong Kong Conrad Hotel's Chinese Executive Chef Yuen Chung Yiu has meticulously crafted a six-course menu at Golden Leaf. I visited with friends to enjoy this exclusive seasonal menu. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by this sparkling tea! It reminded me of the sparkling teas I tried in Taiwan a few years ago, which were truly exceptional. That evening, we were excited to taste the hotel's own creation. The restaurant's ambiance is serene, complemented by elegant Chinese-style decor. Each guest of the set menu receives a signature sparkling tea from Hong Kong Conrad Hotel! This tea is blended with Italian bergamot, Chinese jasmine, and Indian sandalwood, delivering a delicate and refreshing aroma under soft bubbles—truly one of the finest teas I've ever tasted. The first course featured shredded chicken with jellyfish, chilled fresh abalone, crispy suckling pig, and pineapple hawthorn shrimp balls. The presentation was exquisite, and the portion size was just right for an appetizer. The chilled fresh abalone, served as a cold dish, was incredibly refreshing with a tender and chewy texture. The shredded chicken with jellyfish was equally delightful, combining the savory chicken flavor with the crisp jellyfish for a perfect bite. The crispy suckling pig had a crunchy skin that was a joy to bite into, and dipping it in the special sauce enhanced its rich aroma. The pineapple hawthorn shrimp balls were my favorite appetizer! The balance of sweet and sour with a hint of spiciness, paired with the fresh and bouncy shrimp balls, made for a perfect combination. The steamed crab claw with ginger wine and snow greens was visually stunning! The silky egg white infused with ginger wine was as smooth as snow, while the tender crab claw brought a burst of ocean freshness—an absolutely remarkable dish. The crab roe and winter melon soup arrived piping hot with a golden hue that was incredibly enticing. The thick and flavorful soup was packed with shrimp and crab meat, offering a mouthful of freshness and leaving a lingering taste. The stir-fried garoupa fillet with lily bulbs was aromatic and full of wok hei. The garoupa fillet was firm and flavorful, and the sweet and fresh lily bulbs added richness to the dish's texture. The premium chicken soup-poached chicken was tender and juicy with a rich aroma. The flavor was so intense that even the bones were infused—absolutely outstanding. The meal concluded with Golden Leaf's signature fried rice, which was dry and fragrant. I couldn't resist finishing every bite, leaving my stomach completely satisfied. Dessert was a sweet mango sago pomelo! The golden bowl added to its visual appeal, and the taste was equally impressive, providing a perfect ending to the meal. A heartfelt thanks to my lovely friend for gifting me the "Rose Whispers" cake ($468/1.5 lbs) as a sweet birthday surprise! Though I am an "expired" birthday star, I brought it home to share with my dad. The exquisite rose decoration was made of chocolate, and the luxurious red mirror cake contained red fruit rose chocolate, red fruit mousse, sponge cake, and raspberry rose jam. The smooth texture and sweet-tart flavor were absolutely delightful. The Golden Leaf Chef's Seasonal Menu is priced at $988 per person, with an exclusive online booking price of $889.2 per person. Available now until September 30, 2025—make sure to book early to enjoy!
