Leisure lunch
2011-10-23
Rilakuma26 (14 Review(s))

Ladie's Leisure lunch $328 (4-course ) with a glass of non-alcoholic drink

The portion is really small.

1. Salmon salad - fresh enough, but no surprise
2. Mushroom soup - full of mushroom fragrance
3. Scallop with tomato paste - scallop is fresh and the mini-toast is really crispy
4. Dessert Surprise - the BEST of the 4 course
eash dessert is mini-sized and that just suits me well.
The best one is the macaron - crispy outside and chewy inside.
The mini-sized mille-feuille is better than the original size cos the custard is just about right.
The ice-cream mochi is really fun with the dry ice effect.

My friend ordered the usual lunch menu $428 (3-course) with a glass of red/ white wine / rosa
1. Scallop ravioli
2. shrimp risotto - good
3. Mille Feuille with Pear Sorbet - the pear sorbet is very refreshing, yet the custard inside the mille feuille was way too much.
On the whole, the usual lunch menu is better as the combination of food is more complex and the taste is better. Ladies leisure lunch is a bit too small and the first three courses are a bit disappointing.

薯片怪 (2 Review(s))

A really nice lunch. Environment is great, grand, elegant & quiet. There are around 14 tables, but only half are being occupied. The booking service is great, as I have called a few times to check on discount/reservation with bday request, etc. HSBC premier /advance premier credit cards have 10% discount PLUS 1 pound bday cake (but need to show the HSBC coupon and paid by the birthday person in the birthday month).
Food is great, with big portion. Sunday doesn't serve ladies lunch, so we just ordered normal lunch set (3-courses with complimentary red/wine/rose wine @ HK$428 + 10% service charge). But I think for food wise, Caprice food is nicer.

Bread: baguette (leave shape) is nice. Both butter cubes are salted butter.

Appetizer:
It's as thick as tomato sauce for pasta! I wish to add some spaghetti there~ tongue

The chicken liver is a bit rare, may not be liked by all people.

Main Dish:

Dessert: Seems Dessert is the best course among the 3.

Would recommend to others : )

too much to say...

今天於hong kong peninsula hotel酒店的set lunch，I gave up their new ladies leisure lunch $328 but then chose the 三道菜午餐。
I was free early未夠eleven thirty，but突然的一場huge rain made me arrive their entrance late at twelve thirty。
it was a 高高的水晶燈 in the middle of the beautiful and relaxing dining hall，and the manager leaded me to a two-chair seat nearest to the entrance, which I mean also---exit。I knew, it was my mistake not booking for a seat。
He asked immediately, if I want some wine or not, as it was included in the set lunch, and the choices are rose wine, red and white wine.
I didn’t want any wine today, so I ordered grapefruit juice, but he then recommended me to mix in some orange juice to sweeten my juice. Ok then, as what you say. I didn’t want to bargain on that tiny matter, but then it proved a mistake again
as my juice turned out not able to cheer up my appetite.
First of all, they provided two choices of 牛油, which i certainly love that softer and unsalted one.
There were four choices of 麵包, and they were salty bacon and onion cubes牛角酥、plain wheat flour白法包及red berry, raisin and walnut scone shaped 麥包，也有Irish beer soda 包。
all breads are not 熱 at all，Irish soda bread was made into a large roll and then cut into thick slices, its upper外層very脆，而內餡grey 麵包 part入口軟綿綿。
煙肉洋蔥 croissant had a very delicious 豬肉香，quality of bacon chosen 着實不錯, caramelized onion besides it 也畫龍點睛, made this bread so different from those CHA SHIU BAO in chinese restaurant。
頭盤我點了four roasted露筍在底，上面放上了gratinated morels菌碎and tasted very alike 開胃蛋黃荷蘭汁的lemon sabayon, but appeared to be thicker and creamier。
morels菌濃郁，加上mixed in chopped蒜頭, and some kind of marinated vegetables ( chinese style MUI CHOY ), that layer on top of asparagus was surprisingly good 。
Salt was clearly seen on top of the four heads of asparagus, and the whole appetizer was surrounded by a circle of light brown泡沬，topped with three thick slice of hard 巴馬山芝士, it was, I thought 非常oily的一道菜,
as when I enjoyed the whole dish, there was super large amount of oil left on the plate。
the whole meal told me the reason they were not able to get the three stars...

my wedding tasting dinner
2011-01-30
goodfoodjohn (5 Review(s))

We are going to have our wedding at Peninsula. This is our tasting dinner. Actually, we when there at lunch time. It is a very heavy lunch for all of us. I went there with my wife, a friend of mine who is a french chef, and our wedding planner.

Gaddi's the most famous french restaurant in hong kong. I pick here because I had my birthday dinner there last year and it was great.

When we arrived, we sat at the chef table in the kitchen of Gaddi's. It is my second time sitting here. Our chef is Chef Chu. He came out and presented our menu. Very professional!! Full explaination of all the details and cooking method of all the dishes.

We had Grill goose liver terrine with crispy ric and pear chuney for starter. The goose liver is slow cooked then lightly grilled. Not too oilly and the lightly grill tast just makes the liver tasty perfect. Crispy rice is not really my cup of tea, but wife and my friends like it. Pear cleans the mouth and leave a good after taste. Portion is very good. They gave us a large piece of liver and we make sure the same size will be served on our wedding.

After is Smoked chicken and celeriac ravlol with black truffle foam. A very hugh surprise for us. The truffle foam is very rich and tasty. The chicken is tender and the raviolo is just right! However, the portion is a little too big. So, we ask the chef to make it a little small.

Next is pan-fried sea bass fillet with asparagus bouchot mussel ragout and fennel cream sauce. Nothing wrong with this dish, but no surprise at all. In fact, the source is a little salty and we request to change it to fresh cut salsa. Yes, fish is fresh.

Main course is Roasted prime beef tenderloin with braised Savoy cabbage and Jerusalem artichokes, red wine jus OR Roasted Australian lamb loin with braised Savoy cabbage and Jerusalem artichoke, red win jus. I tried both. I like the lamb. Both are tender and juicy. Cook just right. The artichoke is very interesting. Very satisfy dishes!

Desert is Melted Valrhona chocolate and Kirsch ganache, cherry compote, vanilla ice cream. When we dig into the chocolate, a melted chocolate source pour out from the cake. Ice cream is not too sweet, just right again. Presentation is very nice. Makes a very happy ending.

Classic petits fours and coffee from Peninsula will never go wrong!

In conclusion, professional and jobs well done!

Fine dining in a place with a history to tell

I noticed most of the people who write reviews for Gaddi's had really expensive meals at it, I came here on a casual afternoon for a set lunch which costs <$500; and perhaps that explain why I do not share the majority's comment that the food are 'amazing'.

Decor of Gaddi's follows the classical European style, with large chandelier in the middle & shiny furnitures. It shows off the history of Peninsula being the first 5-star hotel in HK going back to the Colonial years. Gaddi's is well hidden in the basement of Peninsula hotel, with a antique & slow-responding lift which will bring you down to the restaurant from the hotel's ground floor.

There are not too many choices for the set lunch, which is perfectly understandable. The lunch is 3 courses with a glass of wine of your choice. I had the pigeon as the starter & short ribs as the main. The starter has a piece of cooked crispy pigeon standing on top of few pieces of raw meats, and the dish is surround by beet roots I would probably like this dish to come with a bit of sweetness in it, it taste a bit too dull. The short ribs is definitely my favourite dish of the afternoon. It is juicy & soft! Since I do not want pasta, they changed my side dish to small scopes of potatoes. Dishes come in good sizes so we were all too full to finish the petite four at the end.

The set lunch menu is certainly good price, given the luxurious setting & impeccable services. But I perhaps expect too much from Gaddi's, was expecting to be 'surprised' by the dishes. Do not get me wrong, food are of good quality, but i was just looking for something extra. Would love to come back again for the tasting menu, afterall a set lunch doesn't allow the chef to exercise his full creativity.

NB: note the strict dress code. Smart casual, and no jeans.
