Lunch at Joel Robuchon

Please don't judge me...yes, I went fine dining again.. this time at joel robuchon of HK, and no, I didn't pay for it myself.. =P

Amuse buche - super refreshing asparagus jelly and I forgot what's the red paste is...too busy talking.
Mushroom salad with foie gras shavings and chives
Asparagus salad with parmasan
Ricotta and spinach raviolo with parmesan cheese flavored with chives
Grilled fillet of sea bass with aromatic red wine sauce
Black forest with almond mousse and gingerbread sauce
Dill flavored cream cheese soup with mango sorbet and fresh raspberry
Seriously I do think joel robuchon's creativity trumps all the french restaurants in HK, and it does give you a lot of surprises and takes you to a different level of gastronomic experience. However when it comes to price/quality I definitely prefer Pierre where they serve you substantial portion and the cooking method is much more homey while maintaining the same level of delicacy, plus t is more fun to dine at Pierre and they provide excellent service.. I am looking forward to my next meal at Pierre.
