It was a pleasure to try Vow's products a few days ago at #TheAubrey at Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Hong Kong. 💹 Australian startup Vow is the #first company to sell #cultivatedmeat products in #China, building on their successful #Singapore debut. Over the past years, leading Chinese #cultivatedmeat companies, such as Joes Future Food and CellX, have also made significant progress on #commercialisation and R&D. 📝 However, Vow and other cultivated meat companies will still need to secure approval from authorities in #Beijing before they are able to sell their products anywhere in #mainlandChina. Since the food regulators in the special administrative regions of #HongKong and #Macau do not operate under the same #regulatory system as the rest of the country. 🍨 The two products—#ForgedParfait and the "fat-washed" cocktail made with the #ForgedGras reminded me of the beauty of #MolecularGastronomy. Chefs could utilize the cultivated Japanese quail as a versatile #ingredient to create imaginative, delicious, and nutritious cuisine, while incorporating #culturaldiversity into recipes. 🍸 The cocktail is a one-month exclusive item. Friends, please drop me a line if you are in town and crave a bite of #futurefood 😋 Thanks team for hosting me, Dalia Adler, Sarah Separovich! Always inspired by amazing work from the Vow team, Jeroen Boersma, and Neel Reddy 雷慕远!
