Was in the mood to go hit up the wine list at @grandlisboahotel and landed on a lovely Chassagne-Montrachet at around 40% below current retail price .
The food hit the mark as well , Chicken with pomelo is a dish I first had here when visiting Macau 9 years ago and i still love it . The chicken skin is fried until it’s bronzed and crisp,... 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 very memorable lunch and once again sometimes it only takes 1 dish , or in this case one food/ wine match to leave a long lasting impression.
Abalone liver sauce and chateau d’yquem is an absolutely astonishing pairing . The viscosity of both is similar , the clean linear abalone flavour absolutely swoons when in contact with the wine . This was... More
I will probably never have the privilege of dining at Sushi Saito in Tokyo but I have to say the HK outpost is very good . Maybe expectations are raised as it’s the sister shop to the legendary Tokyo institution but on face value the quality in HK is very high .
The lunch menu which seemingly caters to the finance bros who work in the area is a... More
Sometimes it only takes one dish to live a lasting memory .
Steamed grouper - perfectly cooked , still firm and retaining an almost fudge like texture . A sancho pepper sauce that was intoxicatingly fragrant , wide rice noodles that soaked up all that flavour .
The rest of the meal was perfectly fine .
Roast goose was a little dry but the accompanying... More
Post 1000 on this app and very happy that it fell on a @rogan_simon restaurant as he is certainly one of my favourite chefs and L’Enclume his flagship restaurant sits snugly in my top 3 meals of all time .
To me the taste profile of Rogan food is its signature , with umami , acidity ( usually not from citrus) , creaminess ( usually not... More
Salade nicoise is my childhood family salad . It’s certainly the salad I have had the most in my life , and in fact I had it at another restaurant earlier in the week . But I absolutely fell in love with the Salade Nicoise fine dining take at Robuchon au Dome .
The egg is perfectly soft boiled , the tuna belly and tomato concasee are a delicious... More
Lung King Heen is renowned for their dim sum but I must admit I haven’t been there for lunch for around a decade . In any case with evening seating infinitely easier to book I thought I would give dinner a try .
First things first is the service , easily the friendliest and best service I have had in a Cantonese restaurant in HK. Smooth, assured... More
@cailbruich is headed up by Lorna McNee , the first female chef to obtain a Michelin ⭐️ in Scotland .
tuna tartare, Isle of Wight tomato , perthshire strawberry, elderflower - this is a brilliant start to the meal , fresh and floral , the dish is dominated by the tomato and strawberry broth, the tuna adds texture and mouthfeel , an excellent... More
Glasgow has two ⭐️ Michelin restaurants, and I was super impressed with the Chefs table experience @unalomebygc last night .
Contemporary food with a backbone of French sauces, all well crafted , and service from FOH and the chefs was terrific .
Cured Royal bream , avocado , horseradish , sorrel and sea lettuce sauce started off the... More
