There is a lot to love about the ratatouille prepared by chef Emmanuel Soulière, the new culinary director at fine-dining restaurant CulinArt 1862, in Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay neighbourhood.
Soulière’s dish is a colourful mix of fresh vegetables, herbs and black olives.
But it is the egg, sitting proud in the centre of the dish, that steals the show, and not just because it is free of bad things such as hormones, antibiotics and steroids.
Rén is a Hong Kong charity helping underprivileged and disadvantaged youths in the city find work in the hospitality industry.
It was founded in 2023 by Hongkonger Jo Soo Tang, a self-described “pro bono headhunter” who is on a mission to “create a more inclusive society that allows everyone to thrive, regardless of their background”.
