Another fabulous lunch with the winter menu, and service with all 7 trolleys! The roast Maine lobster with spiced bisque was fantastic. The Challans duck/foie gras duo tournedos Rossini was beautiful.

Ho Hung Kee is among the minority of places serving dim sum items at night, and they do it pretty well. I decided to forgo my usual order of stir-fried noodles and got some steamed buns and dumplings instead.

- Peter Chang added a new meal Ridiculous buckwheat menu at The Ocean
Ridiculous menu where the chef put buckwheat on every single plate. Sure, some of the food was reasonably tasty, but others had flavor combinations which didn't work. And why do we need buckwheat everywhere???

With new chef Patrick Leano's arrival, the menu has returned to classic dishes and away from "creative", "modern", or playful items. Some customers will be happy to see classic "grill" dishes return to the menu.

A first introduction to the chain from Singapore. Most of our stomach space was taken up by the delicious stuffed suckling pig, but DAMN! What a pig!

- Peter Chang added a new meal Birthday dinner at Petrus
A birthday dinner with a custom menu from chef Ricardo. Lots of interesting dishes with influences from Asia added to the French base. The oyster in cucumber and Granny Smith jelly and the calamari ramen were particularly good.

First experience at this transplant from Osaka. A fairly good meal, with signature dishes like abalone. Overall feels fairly traditional.
