Asia fine dining (continued!)

Apart from local, traditional treats, there are a few excellent recommendations I would like to share during my recent trip away. Now bear with me, I’m really hungover…

Robuchon a Galera at Hotel Lisboa – Joel Robuchon being one of my favorite chefs… this was one of the places I couldn’t wait to try! A lot of friends have commented that this restaurant is much better than its Hong Kong counterpart (which is probably over-trendy with less focus on the food).

Warm egg cocotte with spinach, truffle and parsley toast, Chicken soup jelly with Fois Gras, Onion tartin with Sliced black truffle


Papilotte of silver cod with black truffle and baby artichoke and leek - cooked to perfection in a paper bag, cream sauce dressed at the table, and the flesh of the fish just falls to the touch of the fork. mmmm


The mille feuille (my favorite dessert of all time) with very fresh pastry and vanilla cream, the floating island with chestnut ice cream

The Peninsula Spa

“Exclusive poolside lunch featuring Naturally Peninsula light and healthy cuisine” – Poached salmon in vegetable broth

H One @ IFC

Steamed White Asparagus, Italian “Sunny Side Up” Egg, Shaved Parmesan, White Truffle Oil

Agnes b – Le pain grille

High tea set – very cute, relaxing environment perfect for a girly chat over a hot cup. I went with my grandmother!

Da Domenico -10 Hysan Ave, 10-12, G/F Sunning Plaza, Causeway Bay

Their famous Lobster linguini – to die for. A cute trattoria styled Italian restaurant I visited with my boss. I snapped this photo during his smoke break!

    @Kiwihead - Imagine how hungry I get when I write it! I actually took a break halfway, went out for brunch, and then came back to finish it with a full stomach.
