This supper club will be a special Peranakan themed one hosted at artist Kate’s magnificent house in Clearwater Bay. She will be personally giving all of us a tour of the artwork in her beautiful house (her artworks have Peranakan undertones) while Chris, a Peranakan chef, will be cooking up a storm and delighting us with his Peranakan specialities.
I have also personally arranged for a special meditative session talk with Lillian Chan, a holistic wellness coach with extensive experience on emotional healing and activation of one’s highest potential. She will be talking about Empowerment through Sacred Sexuality and Intimacy. Yes, an interesting topic indeed (am sure it raised some brows).
Some of you may be asking, what is Peranakan? So let’s start defining this term. Peranakan generally refers to people of mixed Chinese and Malay/Indonesian heritage. Many Peranakans trace their origins to 15th-century Malacca where their ancestors were thought to be Chinese traders who married local women.
Peranakan cuisine is also known as Nyonya cooking. This is largely the result of blending Chinese ingredients with various distinct spices and cooking techniques used by the Malay/Indonesian community. This gives rise to Peranakan interpretations of Malay/Indonesian food that is similarly tangy, aromatic, spicy and herbal.
Since it is a rare opportunity in Hong Kong, we will be dining outdoors in nature (don’t worry it is chilled at night on the patio). As Kate loves dogs and has a few herself, guests are welcome to bring their dogs along (please give me a heads up prior though so I can let her know).
As for format of the evening, we will be kicking off with some sunset drinks before we split the group into two and proceed with the art tour throughout the house (and its many rooms) as well as the Sacred Sexuality and Intimacy session by Lily (there will be a rotation of the two groups so you will experience both the art tour and the meditative session from Lily). We will then congregate on the patio for some al fresco dining whereby Chef Chris Tang will demonstrate his culinary prowess and satiate our appetites with his bespoke modern Peranakan menu.
Note that there will be plenty of drinks to go around as to keep the evening jovial and fun. Just bring your colourful self and dress in colourful clothes (to keep in alignment with the the spirit of “Peranakan”).
As spots are precious, we can only reserve spots upon payment. As the chef will need to order ingredients ahead of time, the cut off date for payment and reservations will be 19th September. Hope you understand.
