一直想來這裡一試, 但午餐只在週一至週五供應, 而來吃晚餐, 預算又比較高, 不太捨得來. 但最近工作忙碌, 實在很需要休息, 就特意跟文迪一同在週三請假一天, 借機會來這裡吃道午餐.店子在文華東方酒店, 記得之前來這裡吃過下午茶, 也到過頂樓吃現已二星的Pierre. 是日的目標就是一樓的一星店. 香港的頂級扒房不少, 在11年版上, 唯有這裡能摘星, 實力是否真的比人高呢? 之前一日先打來訂位, 已經爆滿, 還好當天早上收到電話, 能以後補資格入座. 十二點半來到, 果然已經人山人海, 到一點時已經無空臺了. 平日的中午, 客人都是附近的上班族, 也以外籍人士為主. 不過這裡的侍應都是本地人, 我們來到講中文就可以.先看看餐牌, 這裡其實是沒有一個午餐餐牌, 但就有一個market specials的套餐, 兩道菜$508, 三道菜$608. 這個價位, 好像都是一眾星店中數一數二的貴. 始終一場來到扒房, 沒理由不一試這裡的扒, 就在a la carte那邊叫一客西冷牛扒, 再在market specials叫個兩道菜的餐.先來的當然是麵包, 共有四款, 每款一人一件, 是日沒有

一直想來這裡一試, 但午餐只在週一至週五供應, 而來吃晚餐, 預算又比較高, 不太捨得來. 但最近工作忙碌, 實在很需要休息, 就特意跟文迪一同在週三請假一天, 借機會來這裡吃道午餐.

店子在文華東方酒店, 記得之前來這裡吃過下午茶, 也到過頂樓吃現已二星的Pierre. 是日的目標就是一樓的一星店. 香港的頂級扒房不少, 在11年版上, 唯有這裡能摘星, 實力是否真的比人高呢? 之前一日先打來訂位, 已經爆滿, 還好當天早上收到電話, 能以後補資格入座. 十二點半來到, 果然已經人山人海, 到一點時已經無空臺了. 平日的中午, 客人都是附近的上班族, 也以外籍人士為主. 不過這裡的侍應都是本地人, 我們來到講中文就可以.

先來的當然是麵包, 共有四款, 每款一人一件, 是日沒有吃早餐, 這四件麵包, 正好是我的早餐了. 這裡有個廚是專門去負責麵包, 當有客人要吃麵包時, 他才會把麵包從焗爐拿出來, 果然麵包是非常之熱, 辣手的, 相當鬆軟. 我們吃過的星店中, 要數這裡的麵包最為精彩. 比起巴黎那邊的凍包, 這裡的麵包釀人又愛又恨. 這樣精彩的麵包當然令人心愛, 但未入正題就飽了一大截, 又實在是個問題. 不管了, 一口氣連吃四件, 相當滿足. 侍應問還要否添加, 真的很想再要, 但想一想, 還是就此打住, 保存個好印象.

Risotto: fennel, lobster, mascarpone: 9分, 頭盤只要了一客, 店方細心的把它分開一半, 讓我們能夠容易點分吃, 不過分了半後份量還是不少, 一個人吃的話, 應該都會把配額耗盡. 這個頭盤叫Risotto, 當然以意大利飯為主, 飯粒大大粒, 帶點韌, 當然吃得意大利飯, 就預了要慢慢咬. 用上意大利軟芝士做個汁, 加上茴香, 是相當之濃郁香口, 就算我們不太愛吃芝士, 也被這個汁吸引住. 個汁看上去是水水的, 其實吃落去是剛剛好, 不會太濕. 當然, 除了意大利飯, 還有中間的龍蝦. 開了半還是相當大隻, 夠鮮味, 爽口, 點上個意大利軟芝士汁, 有點像中式的芝士焗龍蝦, 但係就以另一個賣相呈現出來.

Veal: milk fed, cabbage, bacon, jus $478: 9分, 主菜方面, 揀了吃肉, 是日的就是乳飼的小牛肉. 只是簡簡單單的一塊肉, 沒有甚麼花巧動作, 但煎得香口, 火候剛好, 肉質嫩滑, 加上點點醬汁, 已是相當之美味.

配菜方面有兩盤, 第一個是椰菜加煙肉, 相當之濃郁, 份量大, 除了增加菜蔬的比例, 更直接填滿肚子. 第二個就是薯蓉, 幾滑, 不太鹹, 又是相當飽肚, 就算好吃也不能吃完了.

Sirloin: welsh, rhug estate, organic, “magic mushroom”, green bean, jus: 9分, 另一個主菜就要了a la carte那邊掛頭牌的西冷牛扒. 賣相是相當之靚, 比起碟veal, 單單是個樣已經嚇得下人. 不是用碟上, 而是用上一塊木板, 面頭加上塊玻璃, 食物就放在玻璃上. 西冷牛扒已經切開五件, 中間部份帶點紅, 外面微脆, 實在是功力的表現. 肉咬落去不會實實的, 高水準.

神奇蘑菇大大粒, 遠看還以為是瑪利奧兄弟吃的蘑菇, 造型是維肖維妙. 其實只是上面是蘑菇, 下面就是薯蓉, 但加在一起就變成了這粒大大的神奇蘑菇.

Bread and butter: brioche, raisin, apricot, vanilla $138: 10分, 吃完主菜, 當然進入我們的主菜. 本身3道菜套餐是比2道菜套餐貴$100, 就是加了一客甜品. 但經侍應介紹後, 那個frozen landscape好像不太吸引, 就不要跟餐的甜品, 自己另行在大餐牌上揀兩款去吃吧. 先吃的就是名字聽落去好大路的美式甜品Bread and butter, 咦, 不過不是pudding, 究竟是甚麼? 一上臺, 只見到一塊麵包加上一件牛油. 先吃麵包, 剛焗好的, 相當香脆, 面頭塗上相當香的奶油, 加上杏仁, 提子同埋雲尼拿, 豐富了味道.

當然, 食麵包怎也要加點牛油. 不用怕, 這件牛油其實不是普通的牛油, 而是牛油味的乳酪, 好香牛油味, 塗上麵包去吃得, 剩吃一樣得. 這客甜品, 在平凡中反轉思路, 實為相當精彩之作.

Autumn: coffee, mascarpone, sponge, leaves $138: 10分, 不要跟餐那個冬天的代表frozen landscape, 反而要了個秋天. 一上臺, 就被這藝術品迷住了, 看上去, 就像在博物館看一幅上世紀的藝術品, 充分把秋天的感覺表達出來, 教人不捨得去破壞這美景. 吃落口, 咖啡味道相當濃烈, 加上意大利芝士以及咖啡酒, 其實就是tiramisu的變奏版. 這個秋天, 愛甜的一定會愛上.

怎知道店方還奉上甜點, 就是Madeleines. 一人兩件, 來到這個地方, 相信也沒有甚麼人能夠吃得下吧. 但我咬一口, 直程是辣口的, 焗得熱辣辣, 入面鬆軟, 咖啡味濃郁, 非常可口, 是在巴黎也吃不到的水準, 實在忍不住把兩件都吃掉. 想不到來到這裡, 一頭一尾也帶來驚喜.

整體來講, 這裡的食物是相當高水準, 甜品更加令到愛甜的我們超級滿足. 服務方面, 沒有任何挑剔的地方, 環境也是好舒服. 唯一的問題是午市來的價位也非常高, 但能夠吃到如此水準的食物, 也實在值得. 大大力的推薦.

The hotel's official website described Mandarin Grill as a place where million dollar business deals were clinched. On this particular afternoon though, there was no business propositions on the table. It's just a simple lunch to celebrate my upcoming birthday.

This marked my first dining experience at the Mandarin Grill and I was fully expecting a traditional type of steak house in the lights of Hugo. Boy, was I wrong! The restaurant was nicely decorated, with very modern design highlighted by white and black colour. There's an open kitchen on the side, with head chef Uwe working very hard behind the scene.

Chef's Salad
This is one of Uwe's many masterpieces, also a signature dish from the Krug's room. The salad was presented like a flower plant. The 'base' was a thick puree made of various vegetables and chicken bits. The middle layer consisted of very crispy parma ham, very crunchy and tasty, topped by raw salmon which was curled into the shape of a rose.

What an outstanding presentation! ...and it tasted even better than I looked. The many different layers created a wide range of textural contrast to our taste buds.

5I
The restaurant staff carefully sliced this famous Spanish Ibérico ham piece by piece onto our plate. The fat-meat proportion is simply perfect.

Pan fried codfish with saffron risotto
I am not a particular big fan of fish but this afternoon, I decided to take my chance on the codfish and I certainly did not regret this decision. The fish fillet was cooked to perfection and placed beneath was a bed of delicious saffron risotto.

Service
The service level was exactly what you would expect from a five-star hotel. The staff was very attentive and also patient enough to explain the details of our every dish to us, which was very important, considering that there were so many different ingredients in each of these dishes.

The Mandarin Grill is definitely in my TOP 5 favourite restaurants list of HK.
Always consistent, never a disappointment. With a gastronomic element and a hint of surprise, the food is always at its best. Top notch service all the way *
I absolutely LOVE the way they present their dishes and the special little treats that come with it at the end of the meal. Whether they are mini chocolate icecream sticks or chocolate shaped fruit, they makes the whole dining experience so more much fun!
My favourites from the bread basket: Olive cheese bread &* Milk bread.
If you're feeling adventurous and hungry you should definitely get the tasting menu. An experience of its own!
To impress the ladies, a-la-carte dishes such as the Garden salad (presented like a flower pot or a garden sometimes) and the scallops or langoustines are a good choice. Light AND pretty. *
The Rib Eye is a great dish to order if you like beef, the presentation is quite stunning. They call it "the Forgotten dish" in the Krug room - they use Dry ice which oozes smoke out at first, then after the smoke defuses you are left with a beautiful piece of meat. VERY COOL!
My sis had the sea bass the other day and loved it. Cooked to perfection.
The desserts are presented in a very creative manner. Absolutely delightful!
Food is pricey but definitely worth every cent!

2年前去過一次文華扒房,當時是去試一個$888的brunch,當時感覺已經幾好,因為店內白雪雪,好舒服;侍應服務有禮,但又唔會令你好拘謹,okok~~上兩星期,我又再臨餐廳,今次就食lunch。前菜是帶子,主菜則點選西冷,每道上檯時,感覺像一場show。因為大大大大廚係份子美食之士,亦好鍾意用最natural的方法來烹調,所以有些食物上來很raw,甚或很像一幅畫。先看朋友點的沙律就知。成盆植物咁,靚爆!最正係,全部菜用65度慢煮製作,塊塊既爽又甜,吃到天然滋味。我的帶子...... 好耐未食過咁正的帶子了!麵包新鮮焗成,自然美味~~點了西冷... 有點韌~ 但個risotto好好好好食~~都係朋友溫的和牛扒好食D~甜品~ 叫oreo xx (唔記得全名...),於餐廳內最出名的其中一款甜品~好味呀,用雲呢拿味自製雪糕,噴上朱古力漿和oreo碎般的餅乾粒~因為係散叫,所以set lunch價錢唔係好記得~ 印象中好似係$3xx 3個course~ 最緊要記得book檯,因為成日都full~~

2年前去過一次文華扒房,當時是去試一個$888的brunch,當時感覺已經幾好,因為店內白雪雪,好舒服;侍應服務有禮,但又唔會令你好拘謹,okok~~

上兩星期,我又再臨餐廳,今次就食lunch。

前菜是帶子,主菜則點選西冷,每道上檯時,感覺像一場show。因為大大大大廚係份子美食之士,亦好鍾意用最natural的方法來烹調,所以有些食物上來很raw,甚或很像一幅畫。

先看朋友點的
沙律就知。成盆植物咁,靚爆!最正係,全部菜用65度慢煮製作,塊塊既爽又甜,吃到天然滋味。

我的帶子...... 好耐未食過咁正的帶子了!

麵包新鮮焗成,自然美味~~

點了西冷... 有點韌~ 但個risotto好好好好食~~

都係朋友溫的和牛扒好食D~

甜品~ 叫oreo xx (唔記得全名...),於餐廳內最出名的其中一款甜品~好味呀,用雲呢拿味自製雪糕,噴上朱古力漿和oreo碎般的餅乾粒~

因為係散叫,所以set lunch價錢唔係好記得~ 印象中好似係$3xx 3個course~ 最緊要記得book檯,因為成日都full~~
麵包好新鮮啊~

今次介紹甜品, 卻聯想起一個笑話:一次於Classified吃午餐時, 有一位”Juicy Style”的輕熟女走入餐廳, 嚷着要點甜品, 與友人7咀8舌後, 大大聲聲的跟待應小姐說:“唔該要一個心太軟”待應小姐:”係…” 五秒後, 問同事:“心太軟… 咩來架”, 再追問輕熟女:“小姐, 唔好意思, 請問咩係心太軟?”“?!” 這間”鬼”多”人”少, 連中文餐牌也欠奉的餐廳, 幾時開始賣港式甜品?!“心太軟”是任賢齊的一首名曲, 後來一間位於東區的餐廳將軟心朱古力蛋糕名為”心太軟”, 從此軟心朱古力蛋糕於香港便被”屈”, 叫作”心太軟”.香港人一窩蜂的風氣很盛, 如早年的綠茶蛋糕及Tiramisu, 然後有cheese cake, puff 及 cup cake. 身為愛甜品又是香港人的我, 當然忠誠追隨.不過, 今次要推介的甜品, 恐怕其他餐廳未能夠容易抄襲或將之發揚光大, 因它的心思, 做法, 用料都不簡單, 如此五星級的甜品, 只能於五星級酒店找到它, 價錢, 當然也是五星級.這是Mandarin Grill 的signature甜品 – Fruit. 上圖所見的, 真的假不了,

今次介紹甜品, 卻聯想起一個笑話:
一次於Classified吃午餐時, 有一位”Juicy Style”的輕熟女走入餐廳, 嚷着要點甜品, 與友人7咀8舌後, 大大聲聲的跟待應小姐說:
“唔該要一個心太軟”
待應小姐:”係…” 五秒後, 問同事:
“心太軟… 咩來架”, 再追問輕熟女:
“小姐, 唔好意思, 請問咩係心太軟?”
“?!” 這間”鬼”多”人”少, 連中文餐牌也欠奉的餐廳, 幾時開始賣港式甜品?!
“心太軟”是任賢齊的一首名曲, 後來一間位於東區的餐廳將軟心朱古力蛋糕名為”心太軟”, 從此軟心朱古力蛋糕於香港便被”屈”, 叫作”心太軟”.

香港人一窩蜂的風氣很盛, 如早年的綠茶蛋糕及Tiramisu, 然後有cheese cake, puff 及 cup cake. 身為愛甜品又是香港人的我, 當然忠誠追隨.
不過, 今次要推介的甜品, 恐怕其他餐廳未能夠容易抄襲或將之發揚光大, 因它的心思, 做法, 用料都不簡單, 如此五星級的甜品, 只能於五星級酒店找到它, 價錢, 當然也是五星級.

這是Mandarin Grill 的signature甜品 – Fruit. 上圖所見的, 真的假不了, 假的真不了… 部分是新鮮生果, 同時亦有脫水但仍保留美麗顏色的乾果; 亦有部分(如啤梨及桔)其實是雪芭.
造型擺位, 顏色味道均一流, 果然是我最喜愛的Mandarin Grill!
大狀朋友轉工升職兼加人工, 如此值得高興(及貴), 當然由她請客, 才有幸品嚐五星級的滋未, 祝你前(及錢)途似錦, 一帆風順! 下次再請我吃大餐!
…亦等如要開始儲錢還飯債, 下次我請…

perhaps there is not much flavour in my dwelling on why I ended up sitting at the dining table at Mandarin Grill before being informed that they would be serving me only the Michelin 3 starred chef menu by Jordi Roca, and I should instead channel my efforts in describing to you one of most spooky dining experience I ever have had.

as if by norm, such designed-for-fine-dining types of restaurants like dim lighting, the scientific reason for that, just for your interest, is because under dark surroundings ladies and gentlemen alike converse in a soft subdued voice. This is not a fault in itself, but Mandarin Grill's colour scheme is already bleak with wooden furniture and pale green seat covers, and I personally found both factors multiply to produce a rather uncomfortable aura. I was partly relieved when the waiter served me a glass of dom perignon, after all, I turned up for my palate not my eyes.

it took me a few painful attempts to decipher the Michelin menu, the fact that it's spotted with Spanish here and there did little to help the situation. once I had conceived a faint idea of what I would be feeding into my mouth, I put the menu down while making a gesture of giving up. Ah, and a word on the service, it was typical 5-starred hotel standard, only their English was occasionally incomprehensible, mostly during their poorly prepared lectures on the supposedly fine aspects of the dishes being served.

as to the food, if not for the fame of the Michelin guide I would have bluntly labeled it as weird and unexciting. Since there are quite a few stars on their back I would summarize it as exotic and an acquired taste.

The first dish is oysters with solid cava. the most stimulating part was an accompanying oyster leaf, which I was asked to devour first, and it did taste exactly like its given name. The oyster was fresh (I presume) but the fact that there was cava jelly wrapping it stripped away its freshness.

The second dish was squid with mashed potato. This was actually very good, with strong squid flavour and some delightful sauce.

The third dish was grilled sole with five different sauces, and of distinct colours too. I regret to say that the sole was grilled poorly, it felt as if it was steamed (this still baffles me: why grill it if you want it to taste like steamed?) and the sauces, unlike their flamboyant colours, had very little taste.

The fourth one, which is also the last one before dessert, is crispy piglet. It was crispy to a point that your mouth could be cut if you chewed it with too much jaw power. I hope this also conveys how hard the skin was, by definition I thought crispiness meant brittle. And, I must proudly announce that our Chinese roasted piglet is far superior in both texture and deliciousness.

The desserts were divided into three parts. Apparently, El Celler de Can Roca has a reputation for desserts, thus the extra complexity in the manner of serving. I started to feel a sharp pain in my upper abdomen around this time and therefore I paid little attention to the layout. It was very complicated and I could not untangle the sweet enigma on my plate so I let my teeth crack it for me. As its name suggested (Terre de Hermes), I felt like I was eating mud and some creamy ice-cream simultaneously. The second part of the dessert was a paper cone, sprayed with some perfume. The waiter very kindly invited me to smell it, which I did but it was more like a mixture of spices and of course only the eclectic few will consider wearing it as a perfume. Came lastly the finale of the dessert trilogy, which was some ice-cream with some white sugary fluff. I have no comments on this.

For my epilogue, believing in the reputation of Mandarin Grill, I gather if it were a normal menu it would have been a rewarding dinner. As for this special edition, one really needs to be an adventurous diner to like the extraordinary blend of the edible and inedible, and most probably out of the creativity rather than the taste.

Have been to the Grill once a year for the last 3 years and it never disappoints.

Have been to the Grill once a year for the last 3 years and it never disappoints. You really have to admire restaurants who can keep up top quality food and service and can surprise with creativity every time.

There were 8 of us for lunch. The bread basket came with a variety of rolls. I had a French roll and a herb roll, both were crusty and crispy on the outside and soft and warm in the middle. I ordered a Chef's salad to start. It came stacked like a piece of wall with balls of smoked salmon and Iberia ham on the top layer, mushed beans on the next and don't ask me what on the bottom. Finely grated Parmesan cheese was sprinkled on top. It was almost too pretty to eat but a bit heavy as a salad.


For main course, I ordered Sirloin steak and this came as 3 cubes with turnip, carrots and asparagus sprinkled around it served with a rich meat jus sauce. The beef was lean and although I asked for medium well, it wasn't tough at all. Before long, I had finished it. A few of us ladies ordered this steak and everyone finished their dish. No one had room for dessert, so we just had coffees and teas. Complimentary Mandeleines were offered but once again, we were all full.

I always judge a Western restaurant by its bread basket and coffee. The Mandarin of course passes with flying colours. It is hard to have a good coffee out for me these days as I am spoilt with a Nepresso machine both at work and at home. But the coffee at the Grill was certainly good enough. The service and presentation of dishes at the Grill is the best I have experienced in Hong Kong. I could always recommend it.

We asked the chef for some recommendations of new dishes that they are trying out. As a result, I started with their version of the Waldorf salad with salmon. The salmon slices were slowly poached in warm water, which resulted in a texture very similar to that of gravlax - tender and moist. This was on top of a pile of sliced apple, julienned celery, grape slices, walnut chunks all mixed with a light mayo-like sauce. What is really interesting is that the whole thing sits on top of some hazelnut

We asked the chef for some recommendations of new dishes that they are trying out. As a result, I started with their version of the Waldorf salad with salmon. The salmon slices were slowly poached in warm water, which resulted in a texture very similar to that of gravlax - tender and moist. This was on top of a pile of sliced apple, julienned celery, grape slices, walnut chunks all mixed with a light mayo-like sauce. What is really interesting is that the whole thing sits on top of some hazelnut sauce - which honestly was probably just Nutella... On the side there are more walnut chunks, as well as the mayo sauce in powder form - the molecular touch. Overall I liked the salad, as it's got the right combination between soft and crunchy textures.

Next came the smoked Girolles mushroom soup. Why does every chef in town nowadays think it's cool to do the "smoked" presentation? It is probably cool for the first couple of times, but gets really tiring after a while - like chocolate cakes with liquid centers...yawn! Anyway, the mushrooms are presented in a bowl, and the waiter lifts up the small glass dome as the smoky nose ascends up one's nostrils. Mushroom soup is then poured into the bowl, completing the process. It was good mushroom soup, but not that exciting for me.

For main course I ordered the crab raviolo, lemongrass, edamame (枝豆). Here is an interesting creation combining Italian, Thai and Japanese/Chinese elements. The single large raviolo dominates the bowl, and the crab filling is sweet and has a springy texture...kinda like the Chinese wonton. The lemongrass-infused olive oil is at once fragrant and light to the taste, while the beans add a slight crunchy texture. Very enjoyable.

I am pretty full by this point, and pass on dessert. We did have some wonderful, warm madeleines with my espresso. It was not the lemon-flavored variety but full of brown sugar and caramel. A very nice note to finish on.

Tonight a colleague and I decided to have dinner at the Mandarin Grill on a whim. Believe it or not, I haven't been back to the Mandarin Grill since the hotel's renovation, so I was pretty eager to check out the quality of the cuisine.

For starter I chose the veloute, intrigued that the dish was named after a sauce. In particular I was interested in the 65 degree egg that was in the description. I wasn't quite prepared for it when the dish arrived before me. Long, thin slices of green asparagus lay at the bottom of the shallow soup bowl, surrounding an egg yolk. The waiter proceeds to pour green veloute into the bowl, scalding the egg yolk and covering it entirely. I guess I'm having soup! Or to be more correct, I'm having sauce as a starter...

Actually, the soup/sauce was pretty delicious, and I am reminded of the veloute of green peas from my meal at Al Muntaha at the Burj Al Arab. Here the soup was thick, and when you roll the liquid around your tongue, you can kinda feel the texture and consistency coming from the flour. The egg yolk, however, was disappointing. It wasn't as liquid as I had hoped.

I chose habilut as my main course since I hadn't had this fish for quite a while. The fish was poached and sat on a bed of green pea mash, surrounded by more green peas. There were even a couple of green pea "ravioli" made in the style of El Bulli - green pea puree enclosed in the calcified exterior. There were also three langoustines - grilled and de-shelled - which were so sweet and delicious. The shellfish was so full of flavor...yummy!

Back to the fish...the chef had added a crusty layer on top, made of small, square croutons. What was interesing was the "glue" that binds this crust to the fish - it was a sauce that reminded me of lemon meringue pie. It was sour as you would expect lemon to be, but at the same time there was plenty of sweetness as well as a bit of je ne sais quois - eggwhite perhaps? - that just brings to mind one of my favorite desserts. It certainly added a very interesting dimension to the whole experience. I'm still having an internal debate about whether this worked for me or not.

We were both pretty stuffed at this point, so no desserts for us. After a shot of espresso and a nibble of petit fours, it was time to head home - pretty satisfied overall and happy to have finally made it back to the Grill.

這是一個極少數能長時間保持高水平之扒房!服務是五星級!食物水平亦是一樣!無論是海鮮, 扒類的處理都是一等一的貨色!在這裹我試過一道我從未吃過這樣好食的羊仔肉。幾件medium rare 之羊仔肉外裹包了一層薄薄的煙肉。略帶微微的羊羶, 恰到好處! (羊就像女人一樣, 不羶的羊就像不騷的女人, 沒勁! ) 再也找不到有更好的羊仔肉了。牛扒微微的炭香,海鮮的鮮味在熟練的厨師手中完全發揮出來...我會毫不猶豫地說此店是在我自己top ten 食肆之列!

I like the desert which was an apple crumble with icy green apple juice mixed with brandy. will try again...

when it comes to atmosphere, i guess it's a good place for biz lunch...grand and a bit quiet and formal and price acceptable

It used to be my favourite steak house before its renovation. So you could imagine my excitement when it reopens. I went with an open mind but still I find it a disappointment. I would not pay too much attention to the new decor as I ain\'t no expert on interior design. But one thing I don\'t like is the lack of space in between tables.

Anyhow, as usual, I ordered my fave sirloin. But this time I could not finish it as it was not as good as it used too. Not as juicy. I think the steak is the same, but this time less juicy and it was a bit cold. Service is as good as ever.
After this, I think somehow the distance between the Mandarin Grill and other steak house has narrowed.
A little bit disappointed and no longer my favourite.
