The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, will serve complimentary Italian food specialties to MO Bar guests on weekends from 30 May 2015. The MO Bar Aperitivo is served in person to guests who order a bottle of red or white wine, or a pitcher of Italian Peroni beer, making this the perfect way for “Weekend Centrals”, as habitués of Hong Kong’s most exclusive social district are known, to unwind. Unconventionally, MO Bar Aperitivo dishes are served sequentially on an artistically designed three-tiered tray.

Aperitivo is an Italian tradition of serving delectable edibles before dinner to stimulate appetite. Impeccably turned out, MO Bar Aperitivo is an excellent excuse for enjoying an evening out with friends and family at Central’s chicest home-away-from-home. Guests can enjoy a light, relaxed meal without the trouble of cooking at home, mix with likeminded urbanites and people watch among Hong Kong’s most stylish set before clubbing. Or, they can relax over the rustic fare, refreshing drinks and a live DJ after a typical Hong Kong day of shopping or playing.

Benjamin Brial, Executive Sous Chef of The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong and a creator of this culinary adventure, explains the unconventional, sequential serving of dishes, “MO Bar Aperitivo revolves around our custom designed Art Deco tray. Italian salamis & charcuterie, succulent olives, Italian cheese, antipasti and crostinis arrive among the first items served to each table while you select your wine or opt for a Peroni. On the second round, expect to plunge your fork into mamma’s style lasagna, arancini, grilled polenta & fritto misto served steaming hot when you order your next bottle.”

MO Bar Aperitivo is available on Saturday and Sunday evenings from 7.00pm to 9.30pm. Prices for selected bottled wines and Peroni start from HKD498 plus 10% service charge. For reservations or more information, please call MO Bar on +852 2132 0077 or via email at lmhkg-mobar@mohg.com
