For our beloved wine
lovers, in addition to our fine wine selections from Italy and France, there are
restaurants with wine pairing menus that allow you to indulge in the best wine
and food pairing experiences.
1)
Madame Fù Grand Café Chinois, The Contemporary Chinese Restaurant
Pairing red wine and
Chinese food are compelling and the right selection can bring out and push the
food flavor to another level of enjoyment. Madame Fù’s signature braised chili
bean noodles with minced pork matches perfectly with the Italian red wine by
Poderi Colla Nebbiolo D’alba, DOC, Serralunga, Italy 2016. The renowned Poderi
Colla Nebbiolo D’alba is produced with Nebbiolo grapes from the Poderi Colla
winery. It has a garnet red color, with medium to full bodies, crispy black
fruit and nuances of pepper, spice and cola. The wine brings out the best
flavor from poultry according to our wine experts.

2) Cova Ristorante
& Caffee, The Authentic Italian Cuisine
COVA signature
homemade lasagna with minced Wagyu beef pairing with a glass of Real Compania
de Vinos Tempranillo Vino de la Tierra de Castilla, Spain, 2016. Lasagna is one
of the most appreciated symbolic dishes from Italy, it brings together the
ingredients we love – pasta, cheese, fresh herbs and most importantly, a
delicious meat sauce. To enhance the meat sauce flavor, COVA improves and
re-energizes the traditional Italian lasagna recipe with Wagyu beef, one of the
most famous types of beef and prized around the world for its remarkable flavor
and texture. The selected Spain red wine has a bold, medium tannic, moderate
acidity and dry taste. With a combination of oaky, black fruit and red fruit
notes. Wagyu beef has a high fat content and with the unique characteristic of
this red wine, the dryness and acidity of the red wine can cut through the fat
of the beef, providing a well-balanced tasting experience.

Ind’Sum, favorite
Indian food in Dimsum portions, is the top pick from Gunpoweder. Pairing Indian
food with wines might not seem to be the most obvious choice, and Gunpowder

of its flavors. Chicken Makhani with Garlic Naan paired with Robert Mondavi
Twin Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon, making the dish less heavy and creating a more
balanced taste.

opened Japanese Omakase restaurant. Unlike the usual omakase, Shigefusa chooses
rare ingredients and innovative ways to present Japanese cuisine. To give a new
and unique tasting experience, the signature Crab Roe Salad has crab roes
marinated in different ways, like in squid ink, wasabi, etc. Nouten is a rare
cut from tuna and 2 pieces only from each tuna. The cut is not only precious
