If you happen to have been silly enough to make a new year resolution and are looking to eat healthier , then for healthy fine dining , you can’t go past @zuicho.macau !
Protein rich , clean flavours and most certainly delicious .
A bright bring start to the meal in the form of Ankimo and monkfish eggs pressed with konbu .
The signature... More
It is my impression that the HK dining public seem to desert restaurants when a chef change occurs . I hope that this doesn’t occur with Hansik Goo as excellence will remain very much in its pedigree .
The lunch menu here is very similar to dinner with the portion sizes just minimised a little , it is well balanced , nutritious and there is no need... More
After 2 weeks barely leaving the house and binging on the beauty of the 2024 Paris Olympics , it’s nice to return to normal routine and hop across the border for a chilled lunch .
Man Wah @mo_hkg has held a Michelin star for 16 years now , recently refurbished it’s a beautiful room with a great view of HK harbour .
A large Hokkaido... More
Came to Shanghai but had outstanding Cantonese food @102house_shanghai .
Originating from Foshan, the restaurant opened in Shanghai in 2021 and has allready obtained Michelin ⭐️ ⭐️ and a 40th ranking in Asia’s 50 best .
The only option is a seasonal set menu which last night ran to 21 dishes over 12 courses .
While most... More
When you go to Shanghai and while having lunch you find out that the chef from said restaurant will be in Macau next week 🤦♂️. ( Go check out the 4 hand dinner at Imperial Court April 26-28 )
But no regrets as was a delicious lunch @meetthebund.2019 .
Specialising in Fujian cuisine , loved the clarity of flavour in all the... More
Onjaku is a Tabelog Gold restaurant located just outside of Shizuoka . They are privy to some of the best seafood available , and today the sweetness was certainly evident . While no individual dish was anything but satisfying , the overall menu composition would have perhaps benefited from a dish or two with more fat or a stronger garnish as the subtly... More
Do not possess enough superlatives for this one . A 33 year old chef is creating absolute magic here , cannot fault the execution, the concept of dishes, the vibe , the service , all exemplary . There is a reason that Yamazaki is booked solid for the next 12 months .
(So joining @jtfoodcation may be the best way to secure the experience)... More
The Tokyo trip really sprang into top gear at Sushi Arai last night . Tabelog gold rated and while I’m far from a sushi expert , this seems absolutely appropriate.
The quirky photo policy limits photos to Tuna only , and the Maguro was certainly a highlight , great mouthfeel , distinct aroma , absolutely filled the palate .
Other highlights... More
A glimpse of Kyoto Kaiseki in Tokyo . Miyasaka is Michelin starred and Tablelog silver , the food is understated, well curated and overall satisfying .
Highlight was the rice course , the rice was “niebana” freshly cooked, so over the course of 10 minutes it transformed from al dente to “perfect” to a little over as it rested in the claypot... More
Anan Saigon was the first and only restaurant in Vietnam to be bestowed with a Michelin Star last year ( has been joined by a handful more this year ) .
Chef Peter Cuong Franklin has a varied CV which includes Caprice in HK, Nahm in Bangkok and Alinea (Chicago ) . His tasting menu seeks to reinterpret classic Vietnamese dishes in a fine dining context... More
