A group of us (8 ppl) went there for a bday celebration last night as Amber is supposed to be one of the best French restaurants in town. We thought it couldn't go wrong with this.

A group of us (8 ppl) went there for a bday celebration last night as Amber is supposed to be one of the best French restaurants in town. We thought it couldn't go wrong with this. We were required to get a 9-course menu but we negotiated to have a 6-course menu instead as we don't want the dinner to be taking too long. When we compared the two menus, the difference is only 2 appetizers and 1 cheese course.

Decor
We were really looking forward to trying this place but upon arriving at the restaurant, the decor is not impressive. The tables are so close to each other and we don't feel very spacious and comfortable. It would be a good date spot but there are def better ones in HK.

Service
Service was decent. The main host from Paris was very nice but we thought they could have explained each dish better.

Food
The 6-course menu was ok but not impressive. The portion was pathetically small. I mean it's about HKD 2,000 per person but we have had maybe a total of 12 bites throughout the whole meal. You can argue that if we have had the 9-course menu, the experience would be better. But when each course is like a finger bite food, I double it would make much difference. The worst course is the entree - wagyu beef - it was like one tiny piece and it took me 3 bites to finish it.

Trust me, I know what is fine dining as we have been to many great restaurants (Gaddi, Cafe Grey Deluxe, Petrus in HK; Daniel, Cafe Boulud, DB Bistro in NYC, and some other great ones in London and Madrid), but this is by far the most disappointing experience! There is a Chinese saying "虛多於實", it truly applies to this place. They try to be fancy but there is absolutely no real substance! I really don't understand why the reviews here were so positive....hummm

Wine
Wine list is extensive and we ordered two bottle of wines that costed a total of 22K.

At the end, our guests were not impressed and satisfied despite the meal took 3 hours and it was pricey. I honestly don't think it's worth the time and money. Please go to other places if you can. We will never go. ack again!

不是特意选这一天去的。但还是点了情人节套餐。食材和搭配真的不失米芝莲二星的水准。前菜分别让你尝到甜、酸、苦、辣、咸五味。蘑菇汤鹅肝是我的最爱。主菜我们要了鸡肉和鹿肉两种,各种配菜和配料都带给人十足的味觉,浑然天成。甜品是性感的红唇。以为就没有了,结果又上了三款赠送的甜品。以为该买单了,结果又上来赠送的小蛋糕(因为订位的时候有问我是不是什么特别的日子)。真的是惊喜不断。还要提一句餐前面包,款款新鲜温热的送上来,真的好好吃!

I was lucky enough to be invited by my dearest to share The Weekend Wine Lunch here, which for 5 courses plus amuse bouche and petits fours and excellent wine pairings plus a glass of welcome champagne, is at HKD928 per head surely EXCEPTIONAL value, amid the torrent of declining standards in service and food quality currently afflicting Hong Kong dining.
The only area of shortfall I could find, and to be honest, it is a big shortfall, was in the cheese course, which was a major disappointment.
First impression/ ambience/ overall. Very politely greeted, and seated initial impressions are of a business justifiably very sure of what it is doing.
There is delightfully simple and bright lighting and thankfully no music, both of which make for pleasant conversation. The menu is clearly expressed and easy to understand. There is no pretension or attempt to introduce obscure or meaningless ingredients. Seating was comfortable and tables large, meaning that wait staff are not constantly rearranging plates and interrupting dialogue, a constant irritation to the serious diner in Hong Kong. Another major plus, is that given the restaurant's confidence in its own product, one is not here constantly bothered with insecure childlike questions such as "how is everything?" "Is everything OK and to your liking?", which normally elicits a "it was fine until you interrupted me" from yours truly. So Amber delivers in all the generalities.
Food
Bread and butter- an exceptional selection of 5 from sourdough toast through olive ciabatta. 8/10
1. Amuse bouche- a series of 4 separate and perfectly executed expressions of the 4 main tastes- salt, a Parmesan biscuit with cream; sweet, a pumpkin purée cigar; bitter, a sperified onion purée with Guinness, and Sour, a fermented black rice cracker with lemon brunoise. All were well executed and tastefully presented in individual wooden cases. 8/10

2. Starter: my accomplice chose Amberjack, served raw over Stracciatella, with a fennel crisp. Delightfully fresh , although the fennel
Crisp seemed a little pointless. I chose to pay an extra HKD260 for the Japanese Kohlrabi, delightfully fresh and crisp and marinated in lime, served with Uni and Caviar. Both dishes 9/10.
Middle Courses- we chose Duck foie gras, served in a delightfully intense duck and cep broth. I chose the wonderful Korean abalone, beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and served with an intense oxtail broth. Deeply aromatic and Truly memorable-9/10 for both.
Main Courses- the Challens duck breast allegedly wild shot, was perfectly cooked medium (I often wonder how many customers would order rare chicken). The pumpkin tortellini were delicate, but the intensity and clarity of the duck jus accompanying was truly exceptional.9/10. The Line Caught Pollack, confit in olive oil had exceptional texture, and was served on a lovely stew of coco beans cooked in a ham broth 9/10.
Cheese selection- this was a let down, and frankly sub par for a restaurant of this stature. Formulaic slices of Tome, bleu d'auvergne and a characterless and flavour less Camembert. Why not a proper cheese trolley, stacked with properly managed and matured cheeses? The ultimate sin though was that as I was bored with the bread and prefer a lighter approach to the cheese course, I requested some crackers. The restaurant gave me a couple of inches of Carr's water biscuits! Given the cornucopia of Scandinavian crisp breads or even carta do musica and the ease with which they can be made, shouldn't a restaurant of this class be doing that? 1/10
Desserts: the quince poached in vin jaune and the chestnut Mont Blanc were both simply delightful, and charming to the eye and the stomach.9/10
Petits fours- again simply delightful with a bitter dark chocolate ganache, tart green apple sorbet, a tiny fruit tartlette with airy Creme patisserie, a raspberry and a delight of red sperification, was truly excellent. 10/10
Coffee- the single Machiato was hot and kept me awake all night so it must have been good.
Wine pairings were exceptional-
Oliver meunier champagne was proper coming from epernay, although I prefer something drier. The whites, the German riesling and the lefaieve burgundy were delightful, while I found the Reds, a Mercurey and a Medoc pedestrian and not up to the quality of the white. We paid an extra hkd210 for the 2007 carmes de rieussac, Sauternes which was a true delight with the cheese as it always is. 7/10.

First thing first~ 想喺呢度趁機同攝影師友人 R. Lee講聲多謝, 幫呢餐飯影左咁多咁靚既相, 成功地將最完美一刻定格~ 望住啲相在下覺得好慚愧, 同在下平時影果啲真係天與地… 事後佢仲要懶謙虛話今次已經影得唔太好, 嘩! 真係難聽過操口… Any肥, 在下由衷感謝!

由於之前一直忙碌, 執筆寫呢篇野既時候餐飯已經過左三個月, 所以記憶不再猶新~ 唉, 由小學到而家都相信同一個大話: I can remember it, I don’t need to write it down~ well~ 咁咪瀨野囉~ 真係鬼記得咩… 點都好… 在下盡最大努力勾起回憶.

<餐廳來頭>

先簡介呢間野, 有飲食界奧斯卡之稱既Restaurant Magazine 50 Best Restaurants 喺在下食飯前幾日剛剛出爐, 成個香港就只有Amber上到榜, 仲拎埋全球第二十名, 算得上係全香港排名第一既餐廳, 呢啲咪就係叫傲視同儕囉~ 的確, 在下叫有福氣試過香港大部份高級法國菜: Pierre, Spoon, Caprice, Gaddi’s, Robuchon, 比起佢地, Amber喺食物呢一個環節真係拋離佢地一大段距離 (Robuchon 可能近少少)…

<用餐簡介>

利申: 除左食客身份, 在下仲帶著 "Ex - Intern" 既身份黎幫襯, 所以在下唔排除餐飯既Review多左主觀因素同私人感情, 咁係咁架啦, 食野本身就係一樣好主觀既野黎, 係有偏見架啦~

未知巧合定有心, 餐廳安排左全餐廳最靚既枱俾在下, 角位枱四人梳化, 坐得舒服又夠私隱, 在此感謝Amber既細心安排. P.S. 其實餐廳每張枱都唔錯 (枱夠大而且枱同枱既距離好充足), 絕對唔會遇上 “屁屁位”, 只係十隻手指唔會一樣長. (屁屁位慘痛經歷請參考灣仔福臨門既Review),

<叫野食>

逢禮拜六日同公眾假期既Lunch就只有一個menu - Weekend Wine Lunch (6道菜配4杯酒既套餐), 雖然睇住佢由$600幾加到而家既$900幾, 漲價超過5成, 不過諗深一層, 一千蚊唔駛就食到 "全港第一", 都算抵既! (老實說, 如果喺樓上果幾間法國餐廳叫埋酒, 其實價錢都同呢度睇齊, 或者仲貴啲添~)

6道菜套餐包一道前菜, 一道Middle Course, 一道主菜, 芝士拼盤, 再加2款指定甜品. 餐前仲有幾款小食Amuse Bouche, 加上源源不絕既自家製面包, 最後仲有petit four 同埋咖啡茶, 其實係好多野食, 一千蚊per  head一啲都唔算貴. 另外要注意用餐時間, 咁樣食法冇2個鍾都走唔到… 其實2個鍾係minimum  (在下足足食左三粒半鍾)

大約有三至四款, 試左Baguette 同Sourdough 薄脆, 配埋法國牛油, 味道還不錯~ 可惜既係已經見唔到在下最心愛既olive focaccia, 想當年在下做intern, 都不知偷食左幾多個~ 最後完左intern後肥到啊媽都唔認得…

但都係果句… 若論Bread Basket, L’ Atelier de Joel Robuchon 贏晒, 仲要連車尾燈都見唔到果隻…

送既敬菜一共有四款, 一坐低侍者就奉上一杯烏龍茶fusion tea, 用黎清一清口腔, 定一定神, 至於味道? 咪係烏龍茶囉~ 呵呵~

緊接住仲有雞蛋仔, 芝士餅 (呢個好好味, 因為芝士香實在太澎湃了, 喺口中久久不散), 同埋什菜脆塊. 不過在下仲係懷念以前既名物 – 鵝肝珍寶珠, 個個對佢都有讚無彈, 講笑者, 點會無彈, 彈咩? 彈每人一粒唔夠喉囉!!! 但近年已經不見其踪影了, 在下強烈要求俾佢復出!!!

前菜四簡一, 本身想試一試新菜式kohlrabi (取代左以前既另一個名物- sea urchin), 不過舊同事極力推介呢個oyster菜式, 咁人地誠意推介, 在下冇理由唔試架?

菜式做法特別, 上到枱見唔到隻蠔, 碗中剩係有一塊綠色薄冰, 上面仲 “吱”左少少醬汁. 原來寶物沉冰底, 食客需要將塊冰整碎然後撈埋隻蠔黎食. Bite Size蠔既質素唔駛多講, 鮮甜清爽, 帶輕微既海水同金屬味, 靚野嚟! 配埋青蘋果薄冰既清香同冰冷感覺, 成件事超級refreshing, 味蕾當堂醒晒!

Wine Pairing: White Wine - Sauvignon Blanc

Middle course 依然係海鮮菜式 - 墨魚. 又係神龍見首不見尾, 望落去又係連一隻墨魚都見唔到, 剩係得啲扁意粉… 而呢個就係重點, 墨魚不見黑魚, 意粉不是意粉, 有點玄吧? 因為佢啲扁意粉係用墨魚做架!

第一次接觸呢個概念係細細果睇卡通片既時候, 有套野叫中華一番, 主角劉昴星打大佬其中一關既考題- 麵 非麵, 當時佢用鯰魚去做呢道菜式. 呢種咁特別既做法在下食過3次,  第一次係喺威尼斯兩星餐廳MET, 卡通片情節首現眼前, 驚喜萬分, 亦懷念至今. 第2次係喺東京既TAKAZAWA, 果次啲“麵”就唔係用魚整, 而係用新鮮帶子, 味道鮮甜無比, 唯欠 al dente既口感. 而今次喺Amber則用上墨魚, 補番彈牙感覺, 嘴嚼之時亦滲出淡淡墨魚味. 正正正!

卡邦尼汁泡泡偏向淡身, 旨在吊味同豐富層次, 係一塊出色既綠葉, 襯托主角墨魚面而非搶佢戲份. 配菜仲有超甜既烤洋蔥同罪惡煙肉, 認真講句, 真係好味到暈底… 唯一要彈既係份量… 法國菜真係法國菜, 完全唔夠喉…

題外話, 當時套卡通片既主角, 係用魚肉包住墨魚芯黎整”麵”, 口感鮮味同時拎滿分, 不過… 現實還現實, 卡通還卡通…

正當在下陶醉緊喺呢道麵 非麵既時候, 友人突然爆左一句... 咁咪即係四海吱吱魚肉面啲朋友... 我頂... 美麗幻想瞬間幻滅, 成件事cheap 晒.... 笑左

Wine Pairing: White Wine - Chardonnay

Main Courses

Pigeon "au snag" - breast pan roasted on it carcass, leg & cereal "cromesqiu"; chiogga beetroot cooked and puree; pigeon jus with vadouvan spices  (推薦!!!)

在下曾經講過, 倘若去一啲高級既法國餐廳, 如果餐牌上有飛禽類 (例如鴨, 鴿, 鵪鶉 – 雞除外…), 佢地通常都會係在下既首選, 因為最易俾到驚喜, 其次會簡羊架.

侍者一放碟野落枱, 已經吸晒睛! 真係靚到 “dum” 一聲, wow, it is an Art Piece!!! 呢啲時候要用洋文先表逹到內心既喜悅~

鴿胸煎到恰到好處, Medium rare, 而鴿腿肉就切成肉碎, 炸成一個小肉球再加少少穀物, 配菜為一系列既紅菜頭菜式. 先講隻鴿, 食之前點少少鴿肉汁, 香味同味道瞬間提昇, 而亮點係個texture, 嫰到一個點令人難以相信食緊既係胸, 呢啲就係在下所講既驚喜, 遇到好食既野好多時候會問How – 佢點做到架呢? 但去到呢啲級數, 係會轉問Why – 點解會咁幸福? 相比起Petrus 既雞胸, 呢度處理得好幾條街. 切左少少鴿胸俾友人, 佢都讚不住口, 然後就開始失落, 後悔簡左牛而冇簡鴿.

由於胸肉光茫太強烈, 已經覆蓋一切, 剩低既鴿腿球同配菜在下已經零印像.

Wine Pairing: Red Wine - Barolo

Veal Shank - braised on the bone, crispy beef head with green asparagus & black winter truffle potato mousseline

友人既主菜要額外加錢, 但似乎出黎既效果反而冇咁好. 輪賣相, 牛仔輸比隻鴿一條街. 至於味道, 在下今次好乖冇打稅 (反正自己既主菜靚咁多, 呵呵~ 無謂落井下石), 根據友人描述, 味道不過不失, 没有驚喜.

一共有五款芝士, 芝士切得慷慨, 先記一功! 侍者好有耐心介紹每一款, 比如黎自法國邊一個地區, 用牛奶定羊奶整, 之類之類, 可惜在下記性愈黎愈差, 當佢介紹到第三款既時候其實在下已經唔記得第一款係咩野, 總之去到最後在下問番侍者應該由邊一隻食先, 確保順序就好了.

味道由淡到濃, 由親民到難頂, 而個range都幾闊 (難頂果隻真係有啲哽~), 在下係芝士控, 隻隻都咁欣賞, 每啖都津津有味, 而友人食到第三款就舉白旗, 剩低既當然係收歸在下肚腩~

以前呢度serve芝士會推架車仔出黎, 喺你面前慢慢切, 或者咁做真係太費時失事, 而家切好晒放上木碟直接落枱. Anyway, 另外有樣野要讚一讚, 唔知係pat pat撞棍定餐廳如此細心, 用Sharing Plate黎serve呢道芝士. 大家都知道香港食客並非個個都係法國芝士既粉絲 (友人就係好例子), 如果每人自己一碟, 33%會出現一方食唔晒夾俾其他人, 33%會己所不欲, 勿拖於人然後自己哽埋佢, 最後苦了肚皮, 唔嘔當贏, 33%係暴殄天物… 而家擺喺中間大家分享, 淺嚐也可, 鯨吞也可, 悉隨尊便~

法國菜, 埋尾一定要有朱古力, 對在下黎講, 就好似跳水要壓水花, 冇話一定要有, 但冇既話唔完美囉~ 拎唔到十分囉~ 話之你之前喺空中前空後空翻左幾多度.

可惜既係在下麻麻地白朱古力, 當在下膚淺吧, 在下認為白朱古力唔算係朱古力, 正如熊貓唔係貓一樣… 仔細味道在下真係唔係太記得, 依希記得算係好食既, 只係少左朱古力應有既可可香味, 水花壓唔夠, 遺憾是也.

不過友人唱反調, 十分欣賞呢個甜品, 話白朱古力搭青檸搭咖啡呢個mix and match特別得黎又夾得好好味!

埋尾既美點雙輝都唔馬虎, 先上青蘋果雪皅, 為一餐咁full既午宴清下味蕾. 再黎就係朱古力漿配紅桑子 (香濃朱古力味, 唔會過甜), 紅桑子芝士撻 (餅廚細心喺粒紅桑子裏面放左少許糖漿, 食落去唔會過酸), 同埋鳥結糖 (因為有大量既開心果同其他果仁, 好香好好食, 又唔太痴牙, 正!)

<DRINK COMMENT>

Wine Pairing

套餐一共包左四杯酒, 坐低一杯香檳, 前菜生蠔同middle course墨魚面各配一杯白酒, 而主菜就跟左杯紅酒. 每款酒都經過酒師精心挑選過, 質素絕對有保證, 而佢地仲match到落啲餸度. (Well… wine pairing其實係一種好高深既野, 好可惜, 在下連皮毛既知識都冇, 真係識條毛咩… 不過, 起碼你食完舊野, 飲啖酒, 唔會覺得 “嘩~個味道咁怪既???” 咁在下當pair到架啦~ 最最最記得係杯紅酒好好飲, 黎自意大利既Borolo, 單獨飲已經覺好正, 同隻鴿更加襯到一絕.

食物味道, 賣相, 份量, 都無可挑剔, 真係連喺雞蛋裏都剔不出骨頭, 由前菜到甜品都係高水平之作, 而生蠔, 面非面, 同乳鴿都俾到驚喜! 唯一既遺憾係甜品唔太啱在口味, 唔係彈佢味道, 只係純粹跟在下磁場唔夾. 以食物質素黎講, 唯一可以同Amber爭長短既, 在下認為只有 L’ Atelier de Joel Robuchon, 剩低既例如Caprice, Gaddi’s, Spoon, 等等等, 真係可以用 “望塵莫及” 黎形容.

貴為兩星米芝蓮同香港第一, 用餐環境當然冇得輸, 坐得舒服裝修靚不在話下,  天花板果兩千幾枝鋼管更彷如一件大型藝術裝置. 枱同枱之間既距離感十足, 雖則全院滿座, 但一啲都唔覺吵鬧.

唯一小小小小缺憾, 適逢夏季7月, 放喺餐廳既鮮花無可避免地有蚊滋, 唔多, 一千零一隻咁大把, 亦都係只係擾攘左大概10幾秒, 不過, 呢啲事情唔應該會喺 “香港第一” 發生.

服務COMMENT


唔係賣花讚花香, Amber既服務一向屬於高水平, 細心, 禮貌, 又有笑容, 縱使佢係一間高級食府, 同樣能夠令你感到好warm, 一啲都唔拘緊. 值得讚下既係兩位外籍人士 – Restaurant Director 同 Assistant Manager ,前者風趣幽默, 後者笑容滿分, 為呢餐飯添加不少色彩.

唯一少少defect係另外幾位侍者可能比較green, 冇咩直接deal with客人既經驗, 所以喺介紹菜式時有少少緊張, 講到甩甩咳咳 (同以前既在下一樣, 第一次出大廳同客人講解菜式, 腳震又口窒, 所以在下表示理解.)

戴定碩盔先, 並唔係手指拗出唔拗入, 倘若平心而論, 半島Gaddi’s 同 L’ Atelier de Joel Robuchon 既服務的確比Amber做得更出色, 更加能夠將 “Professional” 呢隻字演繹得出神入化.  

值唔值?


二千三百大洋喺香港食餐晏可能有大把選擇, 但要食物質素咁高, 杯酒又靚, 又有名氣既餐廳, 真係好難搵到. 所以呢度既lunch係超值!

最後, 再次多謝友人R. Lee充當攝影師, 拎左部成皮幾既單反黎赴會, 成餐飯又影相又拍片, 渣機又係佢, 旁白又係佢, 食客又係佢, 真係自編自導自拍自演~ 些些~

Ciao ciao新手食家初來報到,請大家多多指教!J

美食確係不能與金錢掛鉤,正所謂「鹹魚白菜也好好味」,好吃與否絕對視乎個人味蕾的靈敏度,亦同時體現廚師的心思與非凡創意!

每逢生日天總不能待薄自己 (算我膚淺
),今次揀選了米芝蓮二星Amber滿足了個人的「虛榮口」,感覺就如走了一趟快閃的法國味覺藝術之旅~

大鄉里初入城,甫入內已感受到非同凡響的尊貴氣派,雖不是極具裝潢,地方亦不如想像般開揚寬闊,但私隱度高,最適合情侶共晉浪漫晚餐。

Since yesterday was a festival occasion and no prior reservation was been made, I was thoroughly surprised by the availability of seats for two while expecting the result from the capricious call to be negative. 

And there we went. Mid-Autumn Banquet at AMBER.
AMBER offers both set and a la carte menu in either English or Chinese. Me and my mom both chose the 9-Course set from Degustation Menu, consisting some of the signature dishes from the restaurant *Automatic Drooling*, which was about $2068HKD/person and $1518HKD for extra wine/person

Before delivering the order, the waiters will ask for any allergies or personal dislikes/absolute proscriptions on certain food that you have. Very considerate indeed.

ALERT: MAIN COURSE COMING

There are two choices for main course, fish or beef. I chose fish and my mom chose beef. If not specifically asked, both will be prepared medium, except that my mom asked for medium-well for the beef though. The waiter recommended to start with fish first, I guess me and my mom are supposed to share the two....? We shared them anyway.

Finishing up the main course, we are offered the choice of cheese. My mom wasn't a fan of cheese, so she alternated it to a French carrot dish, but it turned out that she isn't a fan of French carrot either 


AMBER has a wide selection of French cheeses for diners to chose. 4 different kinds at a time. I am no expert at cheese so the waitress did the selection for me. They also provided two slices  of bread - either wheat bread or bread mixed with dried fruits - for tasting.

Heavenly experience at AMBER ended my Mid-Autumn Night. Big satisfaction, stomach, as well as the Degustation menu to carry home

题外话/补充资料: Heed of dress code when dining at AMBER. I could only remember prohibition on slippers. Ripped jeans should be allowed for ladies, just don't go TOO overboard ==.

夏日就最適合到外面走走,郊游一番,感受一下大自然及明媚的陽光。但基於工作的限制,根本沒有時間跟三五知己出走來個picnic,於是我的一位朋友上個禮拜就帶我到amber 來試一下他們的夏天下午茶。光是賣相已經令人心動了,而且款式很多,環境舒適,絕對是下午放鬆一下的好地方。首先鹹點有Duck pate with crispy baguette,麵包烤到非常香脆,而且鵝肝醬非常濃郁,好好味!下午茶怎麽少得scones 呢,他們tea set 有兩款scones,原味及提子乾配 clotted cream ,scones 鬆軟很重牛油味,配上淡淡奶味的clotted cream一流。我個人挺喜歡這款crispy pita wrapped with Iberico ham with piqullos gel ,脆脆的麵包條外層包著風乾火腿,不錯。這款三文治雖然未見驚喜,但smoked salmon, cream cheese 及青瓜的組合永遠是最佳拍檔,而且麵包鬆軟,賣相精緻,加了不少分。説到最特別的,莫過於這款spicy lobster roll with mayonnaise,香脆麵包上面放

Amuse broche: 好豐富!鸟龍茶同湯的fusion drink ,很創新的組合。好像肉湯濃縮版一樣,凍凍地,又鮮又有茶香。芝士香菜脆撻:超級滋味!一口濃濃的芝士味在口中爆發,好creamy 又香脆,一點點的美奶滋令其滋味更勝一籌,令人更開胃。而那什菜cracker, 很美,五彩奪目,感覺清新,但比較前者,顯然有點失色。雞旦仔cross over 雅枝竹powder:是中西合併的風味。咸香的雞旦仔,是脆熱的,一改故有既定的味道。有點雅枝竹的香,又有一陣intense flavour, 叫人吃過不停。這些amuse broche 真是一個美食之旅的好開始。Kohlrabi: cooked in lime juice and man I olive oil/薯蓉青汁加上磨茹同脆脆。口感十分豐富,茹的鮮嫩味同香滑薯蓉,有着幼滑的texture ,味道輕怡而加上pesto sauce 令味道更rich, 更淸新,適合夏

這小龍蝦肉用香草蒸過,很嫩滑很鮮味,沒有大龍蝦咁韌,啖啖肉。那龍蝦泡沫的濃郁味道加上青汁,味道鮮而濃,又有層次;而小意粉粒粒煙韌,索囇D汁,好好味之餘,加埋杏仁,又增加口感的變化。

宮崎和牛:入口即溶,肉味濃郁,炭燒脆脆的外層,內𥚃鮮嫩的肉,加上豐富肉汁,四成熟,剛剛好!這是我吃過第二最好的和牛。這個和牛配上酸菜,減少了肥膩感,而配上伴食的微酸而creamy的red sauce,令其令香滑,正!唯一美中不足的是只有一小件。

全程服務貼心,笑容親切;之前去過衆多酒店的高級餐廳或米芝蓮餐廳,雖然服務到位,但笑容同親切感欠奉。而這兒餐點質素甚高,而服務卻令人有賓至如歸的感覺,難怪一位難求。下次要再試試其他菜式。

置地文華東方酒店早前開設Amber 糕餅限定店,各式糕餅定價HK$40,同事就買了一堆回公司一起分享。微微帶酸的檸檬蛋白撻清新可口,蛋撻皮很鬆脆,蛋白泡沫綿而不膩。朱古力味濃鬆脆可口的千層酥人人愛吃,中間的雲尼拿吉士醬很有奶香,配上原粒紅莓中和了甜度,既香脆又酸甜,口感味覺都十分平衡。幼滑的栗子醬,充滿濃郁的栗子香味,味道稍甜,比較膩。可惜餅店是期間限定,如果長開就可以常常都吃到Amber甜品嚕~

All of my questions were answered concerning the dishes brought to the table and the somellier was equally knowledgeable about the wine. The ambience is a little stiff in the daytime, but I imagine that it comes alive at night once there is a little more 'mood' lighting.
A first class service and food prepared by a chef who can only be described as one of life's exceptional artists. Despite being far from a rich man, I shall certainly be going back more than once.

I love the concept of 4 Hands dinners. Two chefs working out of the same kitchen, producing a meal that highlights their best work.

I've been to a few.

But never one with the caliber of chefs from the recent dinner showcasing the skills of two of the world's top chefs.

Richard Ekkebus from Amber and Andre Chiang from Restaurant Andre, are two of the best chefs in Aisa, with their restaurants featuring in both San Pellegrino's Asia and Worlds best restaurants. It's fair to say that attending the special, two-nights only event, was high on my list of priorities.

I'd eaten at Amber before and rated the experience as one of my favourite meals of 2015 (see post here), and while I'd never dined at Restaurant Andre in Singapore, I had travelled to Taipei to visit Andre's Taiwanese outlet RAW. Unsurprisingly, it was also one of my top meals of 2015.

Andre's visit to Amber formed part of his global tour to promote his publication of 'Octaphilosophy: The Eight Elements of Restaurant ANDRÉ' - a book that all diners would be given at the end of the 4 Hands dinner.

When we arrived for our 7pm reservation, we were again reminded why dining at the Mandarin Oriental is so special. Names remembered and such special treatment from the moment you enter the dining room, helps you feel incredibly special. Taking our seat, we noticed how many additional tables had been added to the Amber dining room; it was clear that we weren't alone in wanting to sample the delights of two globally recognised culinary masters.

On our tables were a couple of specially printed booklets, outlining the history of both chefs and their restaurants - interesting reading. Most importantly, the booklet outlined the delightful looking courses that we'd be devouring, along with details about which restaurant developed the plate. I'd sampled most of the Amber courses in my previous visit, so I was super excited about those courses prepared by Andre.

The dining room was a hive of activity, with many well dressed and impeccably mannered wait staff buzzing around ensuring that food was delivered in a timely manner.

We kicked off the eight course tasting menu with a quartet of amuse bouche, two prepared by Amber and two by Andre. Of the four small bites, my favourite was the 'croque en bouche' from the kitchen of Andre. The small tartlet had tiny little mushrooms carefully placed to rise up like a traditional croque en bouche (a dessert made of profiteroles). There was a sweetness from the mushrooms that was unexpected that combined with a subtle umami flavour that sat at the back of the palate long after it was devoured.

Some of the other small bites consisted of Amber's famous foie gras, raspberry and ginger bread chupa cup, which had come out of retirement for one last time. The shiny red 'lolly pops' consisted of smooth and creamy foie gras, which were oh-so-sweet. Finishing the quartet were traditional HK egg waffle with bell pepper and tomato and an amazing dish of butternut squash with salted duck egg and vanilla, that was mopped up with a piece of 'charcoal'.

I was particularly intrigued when we were presented with a board of burnt logs, most of which were actually wood, but two were edible and were specifically made to mop up the butternut squash. Thankfully, we both chose the right 'logs' and use them to both mop up the squash, but also add texture to the soft and gooey vegetable.

If you're a foodie in Hong Kong, then you've probably had Amber's famous signature dish of Hokkaido sea urchin. You'd probably also know that Chef Richard Ekkebus is retiring the dish after a decade of consistently appearing on the menu. So, we were fortunate enough to have the second last sitting of the dish before disappearing forever. I'll admit, the dish is spectacular with the salty sea urchin and quenelle of caviar working in complete harmony with the cauliflower puree and lobster jell-o. But I understand why chef Ekkebus is retiring it, with a strong desire to continue to innovate and evolve. Sure the dish will be missed, but bring on the next signature dish!

Andre's first dish was a colourful and tasty dish consisting of charred gillardeau oyster with scallop lasagne and an emulsion of watercress and wasabi. The dish was presented with a wistful story of Andre's youth in France and a desire to produce the best food imaginable. I loved the sweetness of the watercress emulsion, which really drew together the sweetness of the scallop and the slightly earthy flavour of the oyster. I did find the mix of oyster and egg plant to be a little weird texturally, but the flavours worked wonderfully.

It was Andre's turn again with one of the more interesting flavoured dishes I've had in a while. Andre's wife, who had been hosting the dining room, was on hand to explain the dish, which was presented on a bespoke bowl that looked so much like a rock pool. Consisting of surumi squid confit, kelp jus and a granola soufflé mixed with silky potato foam, the dish was powerfully flavoured and more than a little sweet. The squid was cut thin and looked a lot like white worms writhing in a compost - although no worm ever tasted so good (don't ask me how I know!).

After two Andre dishes, we were back with an Amber dish, and we were presented with the biggest asparagus spear that I'd ever seen - it was ginormous! It even had a name, the Robert Blanc 'bourgeoise' green asparagus came presented with raw and marinated kibinago (a type of herring) and a light and airy seawater foam. There was a sharp contrast between the astringent asparagus and the salty herring that was a little disconcerting and I wasn't sure if I loved the dish or was indifferent. As if sensing my thoughts around the dish, my camera decided not to play ball and I was unable to take a 'winning' shot.

We were back with Andre and a simple yet delicious dish that had been on the Restaurant Andre menu since opening, and was also a dish that Andre had borrowed from one of his mentors. The clear glass bowl contained a warm foie gras jelly and was covered in a liquid of pergola black truffle coulis. Talk about luxurious ingredients! The simplicity of the creamy jelly, the richness of it's flavour was just perfect against the umami flavour coming from the truffle. I simply devoured the dish, then helped the girl finish her bowl off - the dish being a little too rich for her palate.

Unbelievably, the night had marched on and it was time for our main course, produced by Chef Ekkebus and the Amber team. We were actually quite full and were very appreciative of the dainty main of 'hugenin' piglet cutlet and saddle served with a roasted apricot stuffed with yellow bell pepper and topped with a black pudding coulis. The dish was finished at the table with a sticky jus which melted into the apricot puree on the plate. It was a dish of two halves for me, I loved the cutlet and saddle, the sweet porky flavour exciting my palate, but I was less excited about the apricot and bell pepper, which have never been favourites of mine. I could tell that they were expertly cooked, but they just didn't resonate.

Amber's dessert was the classic fennel sorbet with confit and raw shaved fennel, served with a lemon custard and lemon thyme infusion. The dessert was just as beautiful as I remember from our last visit to Amber. Fennel is very unusual to have as a sweet, but by combining the slightly bitter vegetable with the sweet yet sour lemon custard, the dessert comes together in a way that it perhaps shouldn't.

The final dish of the night was the most bizarre dessert I can remember having. Simply called D.I.Y cake, we were presented with a plate of ingredients that included marshmallow, popcorn, chocolate - sitting quite messily and unprepared. As it happened, Chef Andre was at our table and was able to explain that the eggs (made of treacle) and the rice milk (from Mexico) - should be added to the mix for the diner smoosh up the ingredients to form a sticky and messy dessert. I really loved the theatre of the dessert, but wasn't a huge fan of the mess that was left over. I kind of get the approach, but found the final dessert of the night a little bit of a let down.

I remember fondly my only previous Andre meal from RAW in Taipei (see post here) - it was inventive and creative and full flavoured. Apart from the dessert, I'd have to say that I found the Andre component of the meal to be equally inventive and completely delicious. I seriously need to get back to Singapore soon so I can finally dine at Andre's flagship restaurant.

Notably, the dinner was much like two meals by two different and talented chefs, and not a free flowing story from beginning to end. Some of the 4 Hands dinners I've been to, there has been closer alignment of the courses, telling a complete story. At this meal, I felt that this cohesive story was missing.

Not that it was a bad thing - I mean, seriously, dinner from Chef Andre and Chef Ekkebus was amazing - but it could have been just a little bit more.
