FIVE-ELEMENT GOURMET MENU BY MAN HO CHINESE RESTAURANT

October 14, 2014 by StrawberrY Gal

Inspired by the famous ‘Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic’, an ancient Chinese medicine doctrine, Executive Chinese Chef Ip Kwok Fai of the award-winning Man Ho Chinese Restaurant is pleased to present a unique five-element gourmet set menu that is not only beneficial for the body but also eye-pleasing and palate-satisfying.

Chef Ip makes use of various ingredients, representing the five Chinese elements and colours – wood (green) , fire (red), earth (yellow), metal (white) and water (black), and innovatively crafts a menu that balances each element in one’s body. The overall harmony of these five elements and colours is also crucial to five major internal organs – wood relates to liver; earth relates to spleen; water relates to kidney; fire relates to heart and metal relates to lung. Through managing the synergies of each of the five elements and colours, the menu provides diversified nutrition and helps attain balance in the body.

“The five-element menu, comprising mainly quality and fresh ingredients offers an opportunity for guests to indulge in healthier Cantonese food selection. Keeping a five-element diet in your daily life is easy as well. For instance, one can add some sesame, red dates, soy beans, lily bulbs and green beans to steamed rice and you can prepare a health-inspired dish at home.” Chef Ip says.
