It was a Christmas holiday filled with Chinese food. That was somewhat of an unfamiliar territory for me but most importantly, we had a great time sharing good food with our beloved family. That's all it matters. Fast forward to Boxing day, there's no way in the world that I will have Chinese food again, at least not in the next 24 hours.I started the afternoon off having a little bit of French food at IVY and after doing some damage to my wallet in Causeway Bay, I decided to hover back to Admir
I started the afternoon off having a little bit of French food at IVY and after doing some damage to my wallet in Causeway Bay, I decided to hover back to Admiralty for some modern British food at The Continental.
I know, I have heard this before. The service here is lousy and the menu isn't all that exciting. But come on, it's Christmas. Let's give it another chance. I arrived a little earlier than expected so I ended up enjoying a cocktail at the bar first.
I think no one would argue the fact that The Continental boasts one of the elegant most dining rooms in Hong Kong. Absolutely loves the relaxed ambiance.
A little Christmas lighting at each table!?
Griddled scallops with chestnut purée, shiso and lemon ($265) - I had trouble picking out an appetizer from the menu so I thought why not have two main courses instead? Starting things off with the griddled Hokkaido scallops was a brilliant idea. Love the combination of the scallops and chestnut purée working well together as a team. A bit of lemon juice and lemon zest provided just enough acidity for the dish. Not a bad start at all!

I thought the meat was really nice. Tender and fairly juicy. The spiced red cabbage was perfect in neutralizing the richness of the goose meat. Another pretty enjoyable dish for me.
