This year marks the 10th anniversary of Spoon. As a testament of its success, Spoon retains its two stars in the 2014 Michelin guide. Being able to witness the progress Spoon Hong Kong made in the past years, I must say the team and chef Philipe Duc has indeed made a huge concerted effort to polish up their overall standard.

I celebrated my birthday a month belated at Beige this year – mostly because their birthday cakes are on my to-try list. I have a special attachment to this place despite it’s not one of the best restaurants I’ve visited in Tokyo. Revisiting for the third time is more about memories than food.

Believe it or not, being a fan of chef Alain Ducasse, Louis XV is the only reason that brought me to Monaco. I appreciate his respect for the ingredient’s original flavour, and also his ability to maintain a reasonably high standard for the many restaurants he runs around the world.

And guess what? His restaurant was awarded with 2 Michelin star this year in Tokyo (Beige) and Hong Kong (Spoon by Alain Ducasse). Continue reading
The only restaurant under Alain Ducasse in UK would be Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester. Located in Park Lane, Mayfair, a 5-star hotel in London – the Dorchester – Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester was awarded with Michelin three star. After the starter, I have already love the style of Alain Ducasse. Everything is simple, neat, very subtle and contemporary. Simple on the outside, yet surprising on the palate. The interior design of every Alain Ducasse’s restaurant is a representation of the his unique style – often dominated by angelic white from ceiling to floor, ending with a soft touch of crystal pink, grayish white, pale beige, gentle Khaki green or amber yellow on the cushioned sofa and glassware – all worked very well together under its homey lighting arrangement.
