The collaboration between Gaggan Anand and his "brother from another mother" Fukuyama "Goh" Takeshi - known as "Gohgan" - is always a fun and special affair. It takes place 2 or 3 times a year, and is an opportunity for the two chefs to create new dishes.

We flew to Bangkok to participate in the 7th edition of Gohgan a week before Christmas, and it was a Christmas party complete with decorations and Christmas music...

Lung King Heen has always been good but never great, catering more to tourists and people ticking off a list. Mom was visiting Hong Kong for the first time in years, so I took the parents out for an introduction.

As usual, the meal was decent but not really special the way a 3-star should be.

Invitation dinner to celebrate Umberto Bombana being awarded the Diners Club Lifetime Achievement Award for Asia.

One of my better meals at this fine restaurant, which has always delivered tasty dishes even if I have only felt it worthy of 3 stars only once.
