Amber, Hong Kong







1 year on and my brother has kindly visited us again along with my folks. As per last year, no visit is complete without the obligatory michelin dinner. The choice this year was the 2 star Amber at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong. Overall, the food and service were superb and worthy of the 2 star rating. Each dish was well cooked and presented with the highlight for me being the signature dish of the line caught red Amadai with fennel & orange confit, 'bottarga' grated new potatoes, bouillabaisse, and olive oil emulsion. For the event, we also popped open a 2001 Pichon Baron Longueville. Rounded, complex, and matured to drink for the occasion. Delightful night and wish there could be more.
