Visiting @alainducasseatmorpheusmacau in winter is very rewarding . Refined winter dishes here are spectacular and the experience continues to improve on every visit . All credit to @cedricsatabin and his team who continue to push for excellence, the wealth of work from the kitchen team has never been more evident .

Case in point the signature Mediterranean Gamberoni dish, I have had this dish 6 times now and this was the best example . The rich umami of the gelee , the sweetness of the shrimp , the creamy salty @kaviari_paris , the winter citrus all absolutely sang . Perhaps it was the touch of magic from @zhhhhana who put the dish together on this occasion .

Ravioli of root vegetables may not sound like the most exciting dish on a menu , but this was superb, chick pea dough printed with watercress , roasted root vegetables which develop a lovely sweet note and a refreshing duck consommé.

John Dory from Brittany faces quite a journey to get to Macau but the fish is simply confit in oil and left to shine . Paired with multiple variations of chicory , this was well balanced and delicious .

Young pigeon from Merial was cooked over wood fire , noticeably gamier than his Chinese cousins , it was matched with a tumble of mushrooms and chestnut and a pumpkin puree . Great winter vibes .

A trio of desserts had me waddling out the door - Comte Reserve ( mousse and au natural ) , then a symposium of grapes with a terrific Roast Tea ice cream that I particularly enjoyed.
Finally the Ducasse Rum baba which was super light yet packed a rum punch .

Great wine pairing as well, highlighted by a 1982 Pomerol , superb evening !!
