Two restaurants remove ‘cigar’ roll dish from menu as it runs afoul of tobacco control rules

STAFF UNSURE WHAT HAPPENED

The diner had just opened for dinner service when CNA visited Peach Blossoms on August 27 at about 6:30 p.m. &nbsp,

Of the six users CNA spoke to close the cafe, four were first-time visitors and had not heard of the” cigar” move.

Two people who dine at Peach Blossoms four days a year furthermore claimed to have never tried the food.

The” cigar” roll was removed from the menu about two to three weeks ago, according to a staff member who did not want to be identified. &nbsp,

The individual continued, noting that the workers “never received any details” from their management regarding the reason the product had to be taken down. They were simply told that the cafe was going to “upgrade” the food.

” We are anticipating a control upgrade.” We also do n’t know what happened”.

According to Edward Chong, the restaurant behind Peach Blossoms, the idea for the food reportedly came from a smoke advertisement that he spoke to in an interview last year for the luxury lifestyle publication Tatler Asia. &nbsp,

The chef spent more than two decades creating the” cigar” move after being” struck by the beauty of the visible art way” of the ad.

He even recreated the dust at the tip of the roll to make the dish appear” as realistic as possible.”

The cafe employee CNA spoke with claimed that the dish is then a typical spring roll. &nbsp,

As the” smoke” move was a unique product, users have asked – and some have complained – about its absence from the menu, the individual said. &nbsp, &nbsp,

The diner” changed the food and upgraded it,” according to the team members.

CNA has contacted&nbsp, Peach Blossoms Restaurant and Tasty Court for a reply to HSA’s order.
