Le Meurice by Alain Ducasse (Paris): A Lunch Worth all 3 Michelin Stars

Although I’m not always a huge fan of super fancy restaurants, Michelin-starred menu degustations (tasting menus) in France are experiences perfected to a completely different level. It’s the birth place of the Michelin Stars and it shows. It’s something you need to try if you’re visiting. What ‘fancy’ means Restaurant le Meurice by Alain Ducasse… Read More Le Meurice by Alain Ducasse (Paris): A Lunch Worth all 3 Michelin Stars

Mozaic (Ubud): Fine Dining in an Unsuspecting Place

I always knew of Ubud for its calm, serene and Eat-Pray-Love kind of vibe. Without the desire of going on a yoga retreat, it hadn’t been the highest priority on my list of places to visit. But then I heard about Mozaic. In fact, a friend from Jakarta shared a number of excellent restaurants and… Read More Mozaic (Ubud): Fine Dining in an Unsuspecting Place

The House on Sathorn (BK): A Turkish-Asian Tasting Journey

Bangkok and Lima are no doubt my favourite cities to experience food in general, but especially “fine dining”. If you read my feature on The Maker’s The Hit List, or Fine Dining Redefined in Hong Kong, you’ll know that this concept often makes me cringe. But a number of restaurants on the World’s 50 Best… Read More The House on Sathorn (BK): A Turkish-Asian Tasting Journey

Fine Dining Redefined in Hong Kong

When L’Estrange London first approached me for my recommendations on fine dining restaurants in Hong Kong, I blanked. Amber? Caprice? What other fine dining restaurants do I know? I couldn’t possibly bring myself to recommend places I didn’t even personally love, but I honestly have barely visited “fine dining” restaurants in the past 2-3 years.… Read More Fine Dining Redefined in Hong Kong

Imperial Treasure, Hong Kong: New Go-to Michelin-Quality Chinese Restaurant

Even though Imperial Treasure was awarded Two Michelin Stars in Shanghai last year, and has been a household brand name in Singapore for many more years, I admittedly had not heard of this restaurant until it opened in One Peking Road in Tsim Sha Tsui recently. When I mentioned I was coming here to a Singaporean friend… Read More Imperial Treasure, Hong Kong: New Go-to Michelin-Quality Chinese Restaurant

Popsy Modern Kitchen: A Quirky Creative Dining Experience

The first time I visited Popsy Modern Kitchen was for brunch and I remember…. The food was alright – I ordered lamb chops. But with so many different meals lined up each week, you have to be even better than ‘good’ in Hong Kong. When I finally returned to try out their British themed ‘Mockingbird Experience’ menu (book… Read More Popsy Modern Kitchen: A Quirky Creative Dining Experience

Cafe Gray Deluxe: Best Afternoon Tea in Hong Kong

Cafe Gray Deluxe’s afternoon tea set had already made an impression on me the first time I tried it back in April, for their Diane von Furstenberg collaboration. The unforgettable scone maintained its place in my heart over the months.

Table: Killer Lobster Bisque and Depurated Seafood

Seafood restaurants have always been a thing in my family – almost all of us are in love with every single type of seafood. So we used to go regularly to Sing Kee in Sai Kung, our favourite restaurant for a lobster feast. But since its quality of service rapidly deteriorated, I have been itching to find another place… Read More Table: Killer Lobster Bisque and Depurated Seafood

ON Dining: Fine Dining with the Best Selection of Cheese

I had my eyes on trying ON Dining ever since it opened and my cheese-loving friend sent me photos of their cheese board. It’s not a new restaurant so that was a while back. I suppose the only thing that was delaying my meal here was knowing that it wouldn’t be a cheap meal – after… Read More ON Dining: Fine Dining with the Best Selection of Cheese

Cafe Gray Deluxe has always been high on my list of favourite restaurants. The food is as delicious as its view over Hong Kong harbour is beautiful – and that combination is rare.
