.Moules Mariniere Frites - HKD $189The mussels are from Australia and pretty plump compared to French Blue mussels, but the latter has slightly more sea sweetness - I like them both! This dish however was a little too garlicky once again and the wine within was a bit bitter, the soup was also a little thin. Not bad, but wasn’t overly balanced compared to the best moules marinieres I’ve had ~ 6/10.Lobster Risotto (Half Portion) - HKD $155This is a bargain!! There are a lot of boston lo

This is a bargain!! There are a lot of boston lobster meat and a strong crustacean taste in the well cooked risotto which was al dente. But there were 2 problems, this was overly herbed with both dill and thyme which really distracted from the flavour, and most importantly much like the mussels dish above this was too bitter from alcohol input. Lobster risotto has been a signature at The Press Room for many years even before one of their chefs had left, and on this occasion it seemed promising but that bitterness and herbalness made it unbalanced… ~ 6.9/10
