A sensational evening at @ando.hkg where Chef @agux1988 and @kimhocksu of @restaurantaujardin in Penang came together to craft a collaborative menu drawn from their memories of land and season. This marked my first return to Ando since its recent revamp which introduced a new culinary vision shaped by the chef’s multicultural heritage and the depths of the ocean.

A sensational evening at @ando.hkg where Chef @agux1988 and @kimhocksu of @restaurantaujardin in Penang came together to craft a collaborative menu drawn from their memories of land and season. This marked my first return to Ando since its recent revamp which introduced a new culinary vision shaped by the chef’s multicultural heritage and the depths of the ocean. The resulting dishes paired beautifully with Au Jardin’s rich tapestry of Malaysian flavors, refined through a European sensibility. My favorite dish was @agux1988’s signature caldoso rice reimagined with @kimhocksu’s prawn noodles broth. Completing the experience was a thoughtful wine pairing by sommelier @carlito.gorgor - celebrating vineyards from some of the world’s highest elevations. And of course, we began the evening with @krugchampagne - a natural choice as both chefs are Krug Ambassadors! 🥂

🇪🇸🇯🇵 Andō ร้านมิชลิน 1 ดาวในฮ่องกงของเชฟ @agux1988 ชาวอาร์เจนตินาที่เอาความอบอุ่นแบบอาหารสเปนมาผสมกับความละเอียดและความละเมียดละไมแบบญี่ปุ่นได้อย่างสวยงาม อาหารทุกจานและไวน์ทุกแก้วของที่นี่เต็มไปด้วยรายละเอียดที่ทำให้รู้เลยว่าทั้งเชฟและทีม somm ใส่ใจกันมากจริงๆ เป็นร้านที่ยิ่งกินยิ่งชอบขึ้นเรื่อยๆ
มื้อนี้ประทับใจตั้งแต่ต้นจนจบ แต่จานที่ทำให้หยุดคิดถึงไม่ได้เลยคือ Blue Lobster ความหวานของ lobster เด่นมาก แล้วพอมี sun-dried tomato parsnip กับ white kombu เข้ามา ทุกอย่างมันกลมขึ้นแบบพอดีสุดๆ ทั้งหวาน เค็ม อูมามิ และความสดชื่นอยู่ในคำเดียวกัน เป็นจานที่กินแล้วเข้าใจเลยว่าทำไมร้านนี้ถึงได้ดาว 🥹
ส่วนอีกจานที่เป็นไฮไลต์ของมื้อนี้เลยคือ Pigeon จาก Loire ประเทศฝรั่งเศส นุ่มมากกกกกก แบบน่าจะเป็นนกพิราบที่นุ่มที่สุดในชีวิตที่เคยกินมาแล้ว ทางร้านใช้นกพิราบอายุประมาณ 28-34 วัน คือก่อนที่น้องจะเริ่มบิน แล้วเอาไป dry aged ต่ออีก 3 วันก่อนย่างด้วยถ่าน ทำให้เนื้อน้องทั้งนุ่มและเข้มข้นในเวลาเดียวกัน ดีจนแทบละลายในปาก 🥹🤤😍
ในส่วนของ Wine Pairing ก็ได้ sommelier คนเก่งอย่าง @carlito.gorgor ที่กวาดรางวัล Best Sommelier จาก Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau 2025 และ Tatler Asia สามปีซ้อน มาดูแลด้านเครื่องดื่มของทางร้าน บอกเลยว่าฝีมือเค้าสมกับรางวัลจริงๆ เพราะทุกแก้วที่เสิร์ฟช่วยดึงรสชาติอาหารให้อร่อยขึ้นชัดมาก อย่างจาน Pigeon เค้าก็เลือกจับคู่กับไวน์แดงจาก Loire Valley ซึ่งเป็นเมืองเดียวกันกับนกพิราบ มันเป็นรายละเอียดเล็กๆที่ทำให้รู้เลยว่าทีมนี้ใส่ใจเรื่อง pairing มาก ไม่ใช่แค่เลือกไวน์ดีมาเสิร์ฟ แต่เลือกสิ่งที่ช่วยทำให้อาหารสมบูรณ์ขึ้นจริงๆ
แล้วจานปิดท้ายอย่าง Arroz Caldoso ข้าวต้มสไตล์สเปนก็สมแล้วที่เป็นเมนูซิกเนเจอร์ของร้าน เชฟใช้ King Crab กุ้งจากสเปน และข้าวจากฮ่องกงมาทำ เพิ่มมิติด้วย XO sauce จนได้รสชาติที่ทั้งหอม กลมกล่อม และอุ่นท้องมากๆ เป็นจานที่ดูเรียบง่ายแต่จำได้ไปอีกนานเลย
ถ้าใครกำลังหาร้านไฟน์ไดนิ่งในฮ่องกงที่ครบทั้งอาหาร บริการ และ wine pairing แบบที่ทุกอย่างลงตัวจริงๆ ส่วนตัวคิดว่า Andō ตอบโจทย์มาก 👏🏻

A new single ingredient tasting menu celebrating rice with a spotlight on Yi O Rice at @ando.hkg! Grown on Lantau Island (one of the largest remaining rice-producing areas in HK), @yiofarm rice is locally cultivated and harvested only twice a year. Every part of the process is hands-on from harvesting, sun drying to milling. As one of his signature dish Sin Lola features rice, Chef @agux1988 is highly inspired and transforms this agricultural story into a 8-course tasting menu that showcases rice in many forms from steamed, puffed, fermented, creamed, and simmered. To complement the menu, @carlito.gorgor - winner of the Michelin Sommelier Award - presents an exciting pairing with rice drinks from Japan, Korea and China. Priced at HK$1,888 per person, this exclusive experience will only be available on Monday dinner until the end of this month.
The andó x Yi O Rice menu:
BOCADITOS
crispy rice sphere / crab
rice paper roll /prawn - cilantro
“onigiri” / marinated tuna
SOMEN

An all-new menu at a brand new @ando.hkg! From tableware to decor along with the food and drinks pairing, a total revamp has taken place. That’s right. No more sashimi and no more of the beloved Caldoso rice. It takes courage to shake things up, and @agux1988 has met the challenge with new creations such as the carabinero with pickled mustard leaves sauce & caviar, the umami rich mushroom essence with 5 different kinds of Yunnan mushrooms, and the creamy Meloso rice with hotaru...

It takes courage to shake things up, and @agux1988 has met the challenge with new creations such as the carabinero with pickled mustard leaves sauce & caviar, the umami rich mushroom essence with 5 different kinds of Yunnan mushrooms, and the creamy Meloso rice with hotaru ika. Complementing the new dishes is the creative wine program by Michelin’s Best Sommelier @carlito.gorgor. Do I miss the old signatures? Sure. But I also look forward to what this new version of Ando will bring.

Grounded in Spanish/latin flavours and influenced by Japan, it was a treat to revisit @ando.hkg .

Grounded in Spanish/latin flavours and influenced by Japan, it was a treat to revisit @ando.hkg .
A menu of thoughtful cooking that eschews the bells and whistles for rock solid flavour combinations from @agux1988
Spanish tuna tartare kicks us off , buried beneath a subtle paprika foam , it’s well worth springing for the Kristal Kaviari supplement , the caviar is the missing dimension to this dish and completely amplifies the unami notes .
A small carabinero prawn is gently charred and served with a fragrant fermented tomato sauce and a herb pannacotta .
Mushroom broth made from Yunnan mushrooms is understated luxury , the sole garnish are three kinome leaves and their minty fragrance goes a long way .
Japanese sea bass is perfectly opaque and matched to both a Shitake stem/razor clam ragu and a textbook beurre Blanc using Spanish cava .
Argentinian Angus beef exclusively imported to Ando is pleasure personified , the family chimichurri recipe is outstanding and the garnish of Japanese mountain vegetables and kale puree keeps this beef dish very light and fragrant .
Today’s wet rice features squid and Chinese yellow wine foam , excellent pairing .
Desserts are simple crowd pleasers , a yuzu and meringue duo cleans the palate , and a smoked chocolate finale again keeps light and floral, rather than a cloying finish .
Recently crowned Sommelier of the year @carlito.gorgor adds to the experience with a great value pairing which chooses the road less travelled . Less
I hosted a dinner featuring a line up of all red wines, so I asked Chef Agustin to create a menu to go with the wines.
Always happy with a meal here, and the wine service from Carlito tonight was impeccable.

Invited to try the latest menu after a few months of being away.
The fideuá is always a good idea, and today it was made with mushrooms and came with tons of truffle shaved on top. Difficult not to like.
The kinki was pretty nicely done, and the caldoso rice with carabinero is a sure winner.

The latest menu at @ando.hkg is brimming with new dishes and new table-side presentations. The restaurant is constantly evolving - even staples such as the bread course and the Caldoso rice have been changed up. As usual, every dish was great but my favorite this time was the cold corn soup with shaved karasumi and caviar which is perfect for the summer heat!

A last-minute change from a red wine-focused dinner probably meant some substitution in the dishes, but we still got a few that would have worked very well with red wine.
Standout dishe were the braised tripe with trotter tendons, and the mikan dessert.
