Mott 32, a restaurant I have been craving for their Peking Duck ever since I have tried their dim sum lunch last year, finally got a chance to try out with good friends.Head by star chef Mr. Lee Man Sing (previously 2 star chef at Mandarin Oriental), Mott 32 locates at the basement of Charter Bank at Central. It is quite an interesting restaurant entry as you will go down through a long escalator, and then you will walk through a spiral stairs with mirrors on the side wall. Just like you have
Head by star chef Mr. Lee Man Sing (previously 2 star chef at Mandarin Oriental), Mott 32 locates at the basement of Charter Bank at Central. It is quite an interesting restaurant entry as you will go down through a long escalator, and then you will walk through a spiral stairs with mirrors on the side wall. Just like you have gone through a time tunnel. Restaurant is quite large and definitely moden with interior being described as New York industrial style and mixed HK lives style. Upon the entry, you will see the kitchen on the left (glass shielded) and the hanging duck room and of course the roasted oven. Very nice and comfortable setting. However, the lightening could be a little bit too dimmed to my liking particular for dinner setting. There is actually award winning bar in one of the corners that serves different types of cocktail and wines around the world, and in fact it has won multiple awards being the best within HK.
We dont really drink so we will just focus on the food. We ordered the following (served in order):
1. Marinated jelly fish, cucumbers, black fungus in aged balsamic vinegar.（陳年黑僭雲耳海蜇頭）
Very chewy texture of the marinated jelly fish. The taste and flavor is outstanding with just the right amount of balsamic vinegar. It is a rather common dish but Mott 32 pulled it off perfectly.
2. Carb and caviar, lberico pork dumplings.（蟹肉魚子醬小籠包）
Very juicy with loaded with crab flavour dumpling. Absolute thumbs up even though the caviar may not play a big part of it. The dumpling skin is perfectly prepared.
3. Apple wood roasted 42 days Peking duck.（42天蘋果木燒北京片皮鴨）
After a rather long wait ... as we are getting a bit impatient. Here it comes ....This is absolutely epic! Flat out the best Peking duck I have ever had. First they serve the skin, which they only recommend to add the brown sugar. It just melts in your mouth with such a pleasant duck aroma! Then they serve the breast meat with skin and finally the leg portion. The meat and skin being wrapped with the ultra thin pancake, along with cucumber, scallion, and sweet and sesame sauce. It is an absolute enjoyment with such a perfect texture and flavor (along with a bit of apple wood flavor). You will be in heaven if you are a fan of Peking duck!
4. Stirred fried Chinese broccoli （砂鍋炒芥蘭）
This is one of the other highlights of our meal that it is absolutely gorgeous! The flavour and 煱氣 is amazing. The chinese broccoli is super tendered and it matches very well with the fried rice.
5. Minced duck, asparagus fried rice.（鴨鬆醬油炒飯)
This is actually the last dish that came after the broccoli. I guess due to the strong flavor from the broccoli dish, the fried rice taste is relatively not as strong as it should have been. The texture is nice, not too soft, and not too dry. But, it has been overpowered from the previous dish.
6. Fresh mango, coconuts, glutinous rice roll.（香芒椰汁糯米卷）
It is rather normal desert as it is completely overshadowed by the previous dishes. Nevertheless, it is good but not great.
Overall, it is a memorable night as we will have a very hard time finding another place with better Peking duck than Mott 32. The setup is definitely not traditional Chinese restaurant (very modern and western instead), but the food quality is what impressed us the most (service is excellent by the way). Our dinner comes HKD 1600 total, which is worth it in my opinion. Some of the dishes charges a bit high though to my opinion such as the jelly fish dish (HKD 160).
Absolute recommended for anyone to try Mott 32 in particular the Peking duck. Keep in mind, you must make the reservation in advanced and reserve the duck when you make the call. Two thumbs up!
