For dinner
Ami
Ami presents a unique “fine bistronomie” experience that celebrates elevated yet approachable Parisian cuisine. The word “bistronomie” is an etymological blend of “bistro” and “gastronomy”, echoing “French casual fine dining” as a meeting point between refined culinary excellence and a friendlier atmosphere for celebrations.
Nothing says chic quite like the French, and at Ami, the Mother’s Day menu is executed to perfection by Executive Chef Nicolas Boutin using ingredients hailing from France. Chef Nicolas ingeniously adds bright-coloured elements to various dishes, such as the welcoming yellowish-orange appetiser crafted with lobster and smoked pike roe, roasted pigeon with a crimson red beetroot mousseline, and a coral pink rose-shaped dessert crafted with strawberry Chantilly cream, rhubarb confit and a honey ice cream, guarantee mum’s tastes and a sight to behold. Every occasion is made better with mesmerizing views of the Hong Kong cityscape from the open-air garden, especially on the day when you express love to mum, and do not forget to complete the gastronomic experience with cocktails crafted by the professional team from its “Wood Ear” bar.

Vivien Lau, founder and creative director of VIVE, imbues her unique creations with special meaning this year after the challenges families have faced. “I’m particularly excited to curate our 2022 Mother’s Day Collection for my supporters since it speaks from my heart. The simplest gestures like giving and sharing elicit the greatest happiness” says Vivien. ‘Perfect MOM-ent’ (HK$880) shows its love within a topping of heart-shaped chocolate that cracks open to reveal a sweet and personal message from VIVE, or the sender’s own heartfelt message for an extra HK$50. This eye-catching centrepiece stands proudly on an elaborate cake in a choice of five flavours to satisfy diverse tastes.
From decadent to piquant to exotic fruit, there is Red Velvet Buttercake with Cream Cheese, Rich Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache, Earl Grey Cake with Earl Grey Cream Cheese, Banana Cake with Chocolate Buttercream, and Crunchies and Vanilla Sponge Cake with Mango and Yuzu Mousse. The same handful of luscious cake styles graces ‘Flores de Amor’ (HK$1,280), which speaks from the heart in a very different way. A sensational creation in which imagination is set free to flourish, the fully dressed cake appears as a veritable garden of fragrant blossoms. Beautiful seasonal flowers, such as Juliet roses, bombastic roses and carnations, cover the entire cake. Alternatively, the freshly cut blooms can be presented separately for the family to have fun together customising their one-of-a-kind floral cake for their mother (HK$1,080).
Vive Cake Boutique offers a personal delivery service from its kitchen to residences to ensure its delicate, extravagant concoctions arrive in perfect condition. The service is priced from HK$200 according to location (outlying islands excluded). Ordering three days in advance of collection from the bespoke cakery or expected delivery date is recommended.
