Back at Amber for its Weekend Wine Lunch! I have been here for its weekday lunches, so I was excited to try its wine pairing which features boutique wines and exclusive vintages from around the world that are not normally available in Hong Kong. The cost of the weekend lunch is priced at $888 for 6 courses of food and 4 glasses of wine pairing which is guaranteed to be a feast. Oh and congratulations to Amber for making the World's 50 Best Restaurants list again at #38 this year! Since it was summer, we were served a series of amuse bouche around the theme of tomato and fennel. The first was a gorgeous cup that contained an appetizing tomato water which reminded me of the a similar dish at NUR. I loved the playful presentation of the tomato-shaped pita bread with fennel puree filling and seaweed stem on top of the cup.

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now ever since I saw pictures of it on my social media feed with its food art plating that looks almost too pretty to eat yet I wasn't sure if it is just all looks and gimmicks, but luckily the food here turned out to be not only gorgeous but also well-executed along with superb service and surroundings. Located near the Convention Center, Empire City Huaiyang serves high-end Chinese cuisine - specially Huaiyang cuisine which is one of the Four Great Traditions that dominate the culinary heritage of China. I haven't been to its sister restaurant Empire City Roasted Duck in K11 but both restaurants seems to pride themselves of their signature roasted Peking duck. Traditional Roasted Peking Duck ($235 Half/$468 Whole) Roasted Peking Duck with Crystal Duck Foie Gras ($345 Half/$688 Whole) Roasted Peking Duck with Caviar ($495 Half/$988 Whole) You have to order half portion at a minimum which equates to about 8 pieces only and if you order the most expensive option which is the Caviar, you can choose to mix and match with the foie gras if you like to try both flavors. To be honest, I felt that the price was quite steep for the portion but it was interesting to try these unique combinations for the first time. I wouldn't say they didn't work but they also didn't elevate the flavor of the duck to a higher level so I would just stick with the original next time.

Located on Old Bailey Street, Fatty Crab comes to us from New York serving Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Singaporean cuisines while using western cooking techniques. I actually brushed shoulders with the original Fatty Crab in NYC but never got to try their food until they opened a branch in HK. The restaurant itself is quite hipster and unpretentious with graffiti concrete walls throughout its bar and main dining room which were both dimly lit, making for a casual ambiance for eating while throwing back a drink or two. Daily Selection of Oysters - HK peeps love their oysters so we had to try them which were supposedly from [somewhere in] Canada. I love these kinds of small oysters which tends to be less creamy with a more briny flavor and they reminded me of the Kumamoto oysters from Washington. More interesting was that the oysters were served with green chili sauce as opposed to the usual condiments so you can add a bit of spiciness to your oyster if you'd like.

Foie Gras Terrine [3.5/5] - with red fruit chutney and toasts. No surprises here - the terrine tasted as expected while the chutney was a nice compliment with its tart flavors as a contrast to the richness of the foie gras. Roasted Chicken [4.2/5] - with potatoes, mushrooms and truffles. The mains proved to be better than the starters as the chicken was juicy and tender while the truffle jus was aromatic! Tiramisu [3.8/5] - with mandarin sorbet with cinnamon, nuts and candies. The tiramisu itself was actually very good with a rich mascarpone content while the sorbet was refreshing as well. The various toppings on top felt extraneous though as it didn't add much to the dessert and not well integrated - just give me a bigger slice of the tiramisu!

Currently, the restaurant is running a promotion for anyone to adopt its Chef Panda! All you have to do is 1) take a photo at Town, 2) upload the photo to Facebook or Instagram, 3) check-in and hash tag with #townhk and 4) show it to the staff to get the adorable toy (while supplies last). After placing our order, bread was brought out soon after and they were of good quality as they were warm and soft to eat.
