Michelin-starred restaurants Andō and Labyrinth have announced the second leg of their collaboration, which will take place in Hong Kong. Following the success of their previous event at Labyrinth in Singapore, Chef Agustin Balbi and Chef LG Han are back together to unveil a stunning 10-course menu that pushes boundaries and explores new dimensions of taste.
Andō, the acclaimed Spanish-Japanese restaurant helmed by Executive Chef Agustin Balbi, will serve as the host venue this time, starting with dinner on Thursday, 7th September, followed by lunch and dinner on Friday, 8th September. Guests will be treated to the exceptional culinary prowess of chefs Agustin and LG Han of Labyrinth, who will work together to deliver an unforgettable gastronomic adventure.

The collaboration menu is priced at HK$2,888+10% per guest and features a harmonious blend of Spanish, Japanese and Singaporean flavours.
Among the highlights is the tantalising selection of snacks to kick off the evening, from Aonori Seaweed Bocadito with razor clams and olives to Chicken Satay Tsukune with a peanut-pineapple dipping sauce, followed by Bak Kut Teh Chawanmushi, a collaborative dish created together by Andō and Labyrinth. This dish entices the taste buds with the subtle heat of Kampot pepper oil, delicate sea grapes and succulent pork shabu.
Another standout creation is the Hainanese Chicken Rice Donabe by Labyrinth, an innovative rendition of a Singaporean classic that surprises diners with achar tacos, velvety miso soy custard, and a zesty chilli sauce inspired by Chef Han’s grandmother’s treasured recipe.

Defying labels and bending genres, Andō’s modern tasting menus are a translation of Agustin’s own unorthodox journey onto the plate, one that nods at his ancestral roots in Italy and Spain while gazing at the lands that shaped his craft – the USA and Japan.
