There is always never enough bite on your Japanese Maki when you go to Japanese restaurant and clearly not enough to share your plate yet you would want to sample more house's signature Makis, either to order a few more or too much to order until you miss the chance on other dishes on the menu. In order to satisfy your one-go desire, Brazilian-born Chef de Cuisine Rafael Gil presents an overflowing pleasure with enticingly quirky maki rolls every
Wednesday at Ozone, The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong.
Inspired by signature ingredients from ten cities around the world, Chef Rafael infuses the maki rolls with exotic flavors without losing the essence of this traditional Japanese delicacy for unlimited orders of maki rolls, <Wacky Maki Wednesdays> promises to satisfy you with a deliciously madcap gourmet tour from east to west across the globe. Originating in Japan, maki rolls are rolled sushi which are usually made from rice and fillings wrapped in dried seaweed. Chef Rafael Gil said, “Maki roll is very popular in my home country, Brazil, but we make it more fun and enticing with our local ingredients and sauces.” A sumptuous assortment of maki rolls with varied fillings and toppings is elegantly plated and lovingly presented to offer an entertaining sushi experience at Ozone.
Among the ten flavors, Chef Rafael shows a special
affection for <Bahia>. The king prawn filling is cooked in moqueca sauce, a
traditional Brazilian home-style sauce made with palm oil, garlic, onion,
tomato and coconut milk. The rich and flavorful sauce matches perfectly with
the equally strong red onion and coriander. Instead of enriching the taste with
soy sauce, “Bahia” is served with moqueca sauce to enhance the overall
experience.
<Alaska> showcases a fusion of textures and flavors of king crab
meat, salmon mayonnaise, avocado and baby radish, presenting a taste of the sea
in The Last Frontier.
<New York> is inspired by the
ingredients of classic American sandwiches. The scallop is marinated in truffle
sauce to tempt gourmands with an irresistible aroma, whereas the pleasant
sweetness of green apple elegantly accompanies the fresh taste of the scallop.
Roasted bacon bits are sprinkled on top to give it a crispy finish. Lightly
seared salmon covered with melted mozzarella cheese makes.
<Oslo> a tantalizing treat
for the night. Also a feast for the eyes, this delightful dish is plated with powdered
vinegar and sugar underneath to resemble the snowy landscape of Norway. Being
one of the most beloved travel destinations for tourists.
<Hokkaido> and its food
are no stranger to Hong Kong people. Chef Rafael skillfully surprises diners
with an appetizing soy sauce substitute – a special sauce blending yuzu, miso
and strawberry.
<Hong Kong> is definitely one of the recommended items. The
deep-fried soft-shell crab is dipped in sweet and sour sauce, probably the most
iconic Chinese sauce. Fresh spring onion and ginger shreds are wrapped together
with the crab to offer a hint of tanginess.
<Bangkok> consists of lobster curry, cucumber, lemongras, mango, wasabi and sour sauce. It is a very appetizing maki.
<Barcelona> Smoked eel, foie gras, smoked red pepper and eggplants as well as crispy onion. A total East meets West classic.
<Mexico City> Smoked yellow tail, avocado, coriander, jalapeno, crispy onion are presented on top of a taco. Mind the chili, it could burnt.
<Tokyo> Back to the home of Maki. With the prawn, tempura flake, sesame mayo,yellow daikon and masago. It won't go wrong.
<Sicily> Tuna toro, cucumber, limonchello, avocado and basil are used. Sample the passion from one of the most friendly Siciliy island.

Clicquot champagne and “Around the World” themed cocktails for an additional
