Hong Kong, 2 January 2014 – Couples seeking the ultimate in romance will find it at Cafe Roma, where a sumptuous aphrodisiac feast, created with well-known ingredients such as oysters, asparagus, and chocolate, is on the menu to spark passion this Valentine’s Day. Located right on Ma Wan Tung Wan Beach in Park Island, Cafe Roma boasts a panoramic view of Tsing Ma Bridge in the background, setting the perfect mood for an evening of indulgence and romantic surprises.
Group Executive Chef Jaakko Sorsa has created a tantalising, amore-inducing 3-course menu featuring a selection of aphrodisiac ingredients. The Valentine’s dinner starts with a choice between Foamy Smoked Oyster Soup with a dash of truffle oil or Grilled Green Asparagus & Poached White Asparagus served with truffle-poached egg and pumpkin seed vinaigrette. Oysters’ age-old reputation for increasing sexual desire comes from their high zinc content, which helps produce sperm and increase sex drive. Asparagus also are believed to have libido-increasing qualities; so much so that in 19th-century France, grooms were served three courses of the sexy spears at their prenuptial dinners. Main course options include Almond-Crusted Perch Fillets with roasted prawn risotto, marinated celery, and hollandaise sauce, the hearty Australian Lamb Chops with Herb Crust, and the vegan-friendly Grilled Marinated Eggplant and Portobello served with poached white asparagus topped with a chilli-bell pepper sauce. The meal ends on a sweet note with a decadent Dark Chocolate-Raspberry Mousse Cake with apricot sauce. As the king of natural aphrodisiacs, chocolate contains chemicals that release dopamine in the pleasure centres of the brain, inducing feelings of excitement, attraction, and euphoria.
The Valentine’s Day dinner menu will be available exclusively on Friday 14 February 2014 at HK$348 for one person, or HK$688 per couple. An optional drink pairing at the special price of HK$98 for two glasses of champagne cocktails is available. 10% service charge will be applied. Reservations are highly recommended.
With its romantic night views and aphrodisiac-inspired menu, Cafe Roma is the perfect destination for couples celebrating their love this Valentine’s Day.
