most purchases were requested to be delivered to hotel,
I don't want to carry so much of stuffs when I jalan.

I lurve their truffles bread....i asked for 2nd helping...nyek nyek

we started off with Dom Perignon 98 by the glasses, HK$710 per glass

The best vintage got to be 96, but not many left in the world.
so 98 is the next best but it's still a bit green.

Antipodes is some mineral water fr New Zealand HK$ 130,
with less mineral according to my waiter,
he has a cute name - Ardis Lau.
Not Andy Lau ya!!

starter was a pan seared foie gras with pear HK$ 195

we had a beautiful and rounded bordeux fr Beaucaillou 1989,
1st Cru so it was very good HK$ 3,000

Alain Ducasse's signature black truffle pasta HK$ 205

Splendid view!!
Wagyu HK$ 510, it was ok.

Spoon top dessert, everything was superb HK$ 225

We've been warned by Doc Chook,
that this restaurant is overrated,
but we still wanna try.

Worth trying though!!
I will come again for the great personalised service,

they hung nice spoons all over the ceiling....
