Where to get German Asparagus (Spargel) in HK?

Marc, most restaurants are now and have been promoting German White asparagus for at least 3 weeks now.

Especially Cafe Deco (German owners/chef) FCC - not sure why - lots of places.

Tis the season.

Great in Pacific Place is having a German food month - loads of products - they'll probably have it there.

Great has German Spargel. I have seen it. Will cost you a bomb. I think it was about HK$25 per 100g, and really you do need 500g per Person. Quality did not look to bad though. At least on the weekend - if they did not get a new delivery, it might be a bit sad by now.


OVO: A recipe for Spargel? Keep it simple. My favourite is still to just peel it, boil in water with a dash of suger, salt and white wine and serve with hot butter (alternatively hollandaise), good quality ham (you can also have a steak with it) and potatoes.


White asparagus can be allowed to be boiled slightly softer than the green one. However, it should not be mushy.


Enjoy. Lucky me I was in Germany a couple weeks ago and had my fix of asparagus already..... So good!
