TATE Dining Room and Bar @ 1st Anniversary New Classic Dishes

TATE Dining Room & Bar celebrating their 1st anniversary by creating some new classic & traditional French dishes. The cuisine in TATE always seek to satisfy the constant  collision of cultures, inspiration, art and technique  juxtaposed with the poetic Japanese aesthetics and flavors. The utmost attention are given on quality, flavor and every intricate detail; serving up wholesome yet tantalizing dishes towards the four seasons by the talented TATE's team lead by Vicky Lau.

“At TATE, we create edible stories by using the ingredients as the characters, seeking the brightest and seasonal “talents” for each role and composing them in a poetic scene to create unique edible stories with Japanese concept of balance and being at one with nature. We add a dash of ‘drama’ and garnish them with a hint ‘romance’, they come together to tell a story that can be romantic, dramatic, comedic, or melancholic. And hopefully each bite of the story that the audience takes will evoke desire, inspiration, harmony and obsession.” Said Lau.

From the design world to the culinary world and followed her stint at Le Cordon Bleu, Lau officially made her maverick move from design to embark on her culinary career and was soon working at some of the most acclaimed kitchens in Hong Kong, including a Michelin-starred restaurant. Having gained invaluable experience, Lau realized her vision by combining the best of her instincts and talents in design and food into a space where others can share and experience her passion.

Longines @ Asthmometer-Pulsometer Chronograph

Longines Asthmometer-Pulsometer Chronograph is no exception to the rule and has the advantage of providing medical information as well as being a fine-looking timepiece. It demonstrates the fact that the precision of a chronograph is necessary not only in sport. This new instrument is based on a model brought out in 1963 which was intended essentially for medical use. The new product not only shows the time but also measures heart rate and respiration. While the pulse and respiration scales can be extremely useful in a sports context, during training sessions for example, they also provide a doctor with valuable information as to the patient’s vital functions. Thus, it is a healthcare instrument in the broadest sense but at the same time a milestone in the brand’s history. The original model dates from a period when diagnosis could depend very much on the precision of the instruments used. The polyvalence of this new chronograph is evidenced by the noticeable beauty of its design, different colours being used for its various purposes. As a medical instrument, it echoes the principal design features of the product on which it is based. The red heart rate scale and the blue respiration scale can be easily read off from the outer edge of the silvered dial. The 12 numeral and the eight gilded applied indices blend perfectly with the hands and the counter circles, which are also gold-plated. The steel case, which has a diameter of 38.50 mm like the original model, is enhanced by the bevelling of the horns. The black alligator strap adds the final touch of sleek elegance to this doctor’s watch.
