Hong Kong, 4 February 2015 – Ignite sparks with your loved one this Valentine’s at Cafe Roma, where a sensational three-course dinner created with well-known aphrodisiacs such as oysters, asparagus, scallops, and chocolate will be served to set the mood this Valentine’s Day. Located right next to the beach on Park Island, Cafe Roma offers romantic couples a stunning panoramic view of Tsing Ma Bridge, making it the perfect spot for an evening of indulgence and romantic surprises.
The Valentine’s dinner menu 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 hollandaise sauce. One of the best-known aphrodisiac ingredients, oysters are reputed for increasing sexual desire with its high zinc content, which helps increase sex drive. Asparagus, on the other hand, is a great source of Vitamin E, which is involved in stimulating the production of sex hormones in both men and women, therefore also increasing sex drive. Guests can choose between two main course options: Grilled Codfish Fillet and Scallop with Almonds with porcini mushroom risotto, marinated avocado, and roasted baby tomatoes, or the hearty US Prime Black Angus Sirloin Roasted with Three Peppercorns served with rosemary-potato gratin, artichoke, and French beans drizzled with cognac sauce. As legend has it, the goddess of love Aphrodite was carried to earth on the shell of a scallop, giving it its aphrodisiac reputation in ancient Greece. The meal ends on a sweet note with the richly-decadent Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cake. While there has been debate on whether chocolate releases enough chemicals to affect our emotions, there’s no denying that its taste and melt-in-your-mouth texture is the sexiest thing about the food.
The Valentine’s menu will be available exclusively on 13-14 February 2015, and will be priced at HK$348 for one person, or HK$688 per couple with a complimentary instant photo snap as a special memento of the romantic occasion. Optional drink pairing for two glasses of champagne cocktails is also available at the special price of HK$98. 10% service charge will be applied. Reservations are highly recommended and can be made by calling (852) 3446 1226 or emailing reservations@caferoma.com.hk.
With its romantic night views and aphrodisiac-inspired menu, Cafe Roma is the perfect destination for couples to spend some one-on-one time under the stars this Valentine’s.
