- Peter Chang added a new meal Invitational dinner at The Eight 8餐廳 at The Eight
A second dinner in a week at this 3* Cantonese restaurant. This time we got to pick a few of the dishes we wanted, and only part of the menu came from the chef's selection.
We also opened up a couple of bottles of German riesling, including one from 1921...

- Peter Chang added a new meal Boozy lunch at Robuchon au Dôme at Robuchon au Dôme
A long lunch at the hotel's invitation while Oncle Joël was in town. This is arguably the best outlet in the entire Robuchon universe, backed by the deep pockets of the Grand Lisboa - with one of the best wine lists to match.
The tournedos rossini was simply amazing. As were quite a few other dishes.

French cuisine with Korean elements. Each dish is inspired by another dish from a well-known restaurant somewhere in the world.

- Peter Chang added a new meal My best Korean meal ever at La Yeon at Continental with Grace Chen and Jason Wang
Simply the finest, most elegant meal of Korean cuisine I have ever had. Completely breaks the stereotypical image of Korean cuisine all about chili and everything is red because of gochujang.
Of course, getting VIP treatment from the chef and the hotel doesn't hurt, either!

- Peter Chang added a new meal Overloaded dinner at Mingles at Mingles with Jason Wang and Grace Chen
A very long dinner with a ton of dishes, some of them compliments of the chef. Overall I found there was good balance of flavors in many of the dishes - ranging from clean and pure to full-bodied and rich.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Birthday dinner at Gaddi's at Gaddi's
First visit to Gaddi's after years of being away, and first time tasting Xavier Borie's dishes after his move from the Robuchon empire.
Many of the dishes do have that Robuchon feel, with Japanese elements and presentation. Overall a very delish meal

- Peter Chang added a new meal ALC dinner at Gaddi's at Gaddi's
Our second dinner here in a month. Ordered à la carte this time. Dishes were solid but I was surprised they weren't better, considering that Xavier Borie had worked for Robuchon for a long time.
Very thankful that the restaurant has kept many of it classics, such as preparing crêpes Suzette table-side.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Birthday dinner at Amber at Amber
Celebrating gf's birthday at one of our favorite restaurants. Richard Ekkebus never disappoints, even when he's not in the kitchen.
There's a very indulgent caviar tart to kick off the dinner. The octopus, langoustine, and other dishes are good, too.
