HONG KONG
New chef's savory touch
Pedro Samper has joined The Langham, Hong Kong as its new executive chef. A native of San Sebastian, Spain, Samper has more than two decades of culinary experience, including running the kitchens at Paradores de Turismo Hotels and Resorts in Valencia and earlier stints in Michelin-starred restaurants around Spain and in Tokyo. The first menu Samper is introducing in Hong Kong is a savory afternoon tea, including raspberry and rose foie gras lollipops with almonds, a refreshing Akagai clam and tuna ceviche, and 48-month-aged acorn-fed Iberico Belotta ham with daiquiri-infused melon.
