There’s this narrative around Michelin ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ that once they reach the top , they stop taking risks and stagnate . That is certainly not true with @guillaumegalliot @capricehongkong . Offering 4 seperate degustation menus along with the newly introduced power lunch , there is a wide and diverse amount of dishes for his kitchen team to nail down, which is truly admirable .

Today I opted for the Carte Blanche , a 5 course surprise menu purely at the discretion of the kitchen .

I was very pleased that the menu began with one of the signature dishes , Australian Wagyu tartare , gillardeau oysters, kaviari Kristal caviar , garnished with parsley dots , the finest snow pea julienne and a bold amount of gold leaf .

This is one of my fav dishes at the restaurant , the balance of acidity and salinity is spot on .

Norwegian langoustine with a forest of mushrooms followed (Paris , cepes, white truffle ) , alongside a Jura wine sauce , this was textbook .

A nod to Cantonese steamed fish followed , a fillet of Rouget ( I think ) was glued upon a prawn and mussel mousse beside a moat of ginger consommé. This dish is a role model for healthy and clean fine dining .

Lamb and mint sauce is a classic old school combination , the lamb saddle and shoulder along with a punchy mint condiment and a terrific glossy jus were a terrific savoury finale .

A very generous selection from the cheese board followed, I asked for the strongest cheeses and this was well paired with a funky swiss orange wine that dealt with every flavour note .

To finish , a terrific almond soufflé rocking with marzipan notes , a creamy vanilla ice cream and a 1991 Chateau d’Yquem. Less
