A top Sydney chef is teaming up with Central’s Benny Lam for a French-Cantonese lunch featuring pork and pistachio siu mai, Moreton Bay Bug thermidor and smoked duck à l’orange.

The last time Benny Lam – executive chef of Southside and Central – joined forces with Sydney-based Brendan Fong (Mr Wong, Hubert), it was for a hugely successful collaboration dinner at Southside in 2022.

On Sunday April 27, Fong returns for another collaboration with Lam, this time blending his French-leaning style with Lam’s Hong Kong roots. For $144 per person, you’ll enjoy a five-course lunch beginning with snacks like raw scallop with white cloud mushroom and beurre noisette, and Central’s signature smoked foie gras with youtiao (Chinese doughnut) and a thick Davidson plum dipping sauce. A selection of dim sum follows, then Moreton Bay Bug thermidor with house-made XO sauce. For mains expect smoked duck à l’orange and a jasmine tea crème brûlée for dessert.

Matched wines are available for a further $88 per person.

Bookings are essential.
