Hong Kong, China. View my complete profile. Sunday, October 31, 2010. A very fine Cuisine. And pineapple fritters (errr.). Chinese food in Europe, with the exception of maybe a handful of very high-end eateries, is a truly horrific experience - period. but this misconception can be easily cured by a few days of field therapy in the Fragrant Harbour. Traditional braised assorted snake soup. Braised gluten puffs stuffed with assorted fungus and vegetables. I love braised gluten, so I could not resist order...

Hong Kong, China. View my complete profile. Saturday, May 28, 2011. In season: green Vaucluse asparagus. As usual, Chef Vincent's very fine cuisine triggered bouts of ecstatic grunting around the table and the service was absolutely impeccable, even if none of the restaurant manager or his trustworthy second-in-command were in sight. Amuse-bouche: mini-brioches with garlic and spinach and cauliflower mousse. Still as nice as last time and unfortunately still a one-bite affair :). This dish got me at hell...

Hong Kong, China. View my complete profile. Saturday, November 27, 2010. Appetizer: deep-fried tofu cubes in warm chicken broth. The Chef's home-made vegetarian XO sauce. I could not resist trying it (despite the fact that none of our dishes required this to be added) and found it very good. The Chef's home-made chilli sauce. Excellent - sticky, a bit sweet and hot. I wish we had ordered something to dip into this. Double-boiled Chinese cabbage with bamboo fungus and yunnan ham soup. Links to this post.

"The delivery has arrived" he said, "straight off the plane". "How much do you want? Girolles are not fun to clean, especially baby ones like these. It takes about half an hour to clean 200gr, which is about what you will need for a good omelette. Baby girolles, before cleaning. Omelette aux girolles, cooking. Omelette with fresh girolles (serves 2). 2 small sha...

Hong Kong, China. View my complete profile. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Slaughterhouse (Gail A. Eisnitz). A lot of people have asked me why I refuse to eat. Meat, whatever its origin (i.e. including. Organic meat) – the answer is very simple. It lies between the pages of Ms Eisnitz’ excellent book, and a few others I have previously reviewed here. It is no coincidence if the book bears the same name as a (famous? Or is there an elephant in the room? Links to this post. Sunday, January 23, 2011. Truffles...

Hong Kong, China. View my complete profile. Friday, October 7, 2011. Friday Lunch Club. at long last! The light at Cepage is always perfect for shooting - a least at lunch time. Tomato focaccia and baguette - this is one of the best bread baskets in town, and the selection today did not disappoint. Crispy baguette with good ears - I know this matters to some of you ;) - and very tasty focaccia. We started off with a perfectly chilled glass of this delicious champagne. A little extra pre-dessert sent by t...
