Introducing a New Lunch Experience Inspired by the Seasons
Honouring the Cantonese philosophy of seasonal dining, Chef Xu and Chef Lam capture the essence of summer through House of Origin's newly launched lunch service and seasonal menu. Showcasing an abundance of fresh gourds, vegetables and premium seasonal seafood, the menu also pays tribute to Macau's culinary heritage through the thoughtful use of ingredients such as shrimp paste by the century-old Kong Hing Loong, reflecting respect for local flavours and traditions.
Designed to meet growing demand for an elevated daytime Cantonese dining experience, the new lunch service extends the warmth and intimacy of House of Origin's authentic, refined dining concept into the afternoon. Upholding the restaurant's signature "Refined Homeliness" philosophy, the menu celebrates ingredient purity, seasonality and meticulous craftsmanship.
Leading the "Exquisite Lunch Signature" menu are two newly introduced signature dishes: Crab Meat and Bitter Melon Silky Soup and Black Pepper Geoduck Clam Soup Rice Noodle.
The former combines sweet local bitter melon with fresh crab meat and crab stock to create a silky, refreshing soup with remarkable depth and elegance. The latter showcases a rich ivory-coloured broth simmered for four hours with pork tripe, old hen, pork bones and white peppercorns, accompanied by geoduck clam, wild sole fish fillet and sliced tripe. Finished tableside with the pouring of the fragrant hot broth, the dish delivers both culinary theatre and heart-warming comfort.
The summer menu further celebrates seasonal ingredients such as bitter melon, night-blooming jasmine and winter gourd, alongside premium seafood including young mud crab, fresh abalone, wild grouper and razor clams. Through masterful Cantonese techniques ranging from slow-simmered soups and velvety broths to expertly executed wok-frying, Chef Xu reveals the purest expression of each ingredient.
Among the highlights, Stir-Fried Conch and Partridge with Night-Scented Flower combines the delicate floral fragrance of jasmine blossoms with conch, shrimp, partridge and fresh lily bulbs, finished with crunchy walnuts for added texture and a captivating wok hei. The classic Double-Boiled Winter Melon and Frog with Dried Scallop, inspired by the celebrated Tai Shi Banquet tradition, features tender frog leg and sweet winter melon in a crystal-clear broth simmered for four hours. Equally enticing is Braised Hairy Gourd with Crab Roe Paste, where the natural sweetness of the gourd is elevated by the rich umami of aromatic crab paste.
Meanwhile, the comforting Rice Noodle Soup with Geoduck and Wild Sole embodies the warmth of a traditional family banquet, while the Crab Meat and Duran Bitter Melon Soup, featured on both the lunch and seasonal menus, offers guests a refreshing expression of summer that is both heart-warming and refined.
