L'Atelier

highschool friend took me out to lunch yesterday. had never been to L'Atelier in HK before so was very excited, and i was definitely NOT disappointed. decor v. similar to the one in vegas, dark and red.

didn't get a chance after lunch yesterday to blog about right after as we finished off a nice bottle of red from Spain and passed out after getting back to the office. presentation wise was not spectacular, but its the food quality and service that separates itself from the rest, definitely a notch above.

started with a uni risotto,



steak tartare,


black cod,


first time seeing baby lamb cutlets (like baby rack of lamb),


finished w/ a coconut souffle, friend had the chocolate brownie,



definitely will go back. can check it out http://www.robuchon.hk/

What is this...

Something interesting from the gadget blog someone sent me. It is called the vapourizer. It creates the aroma of herbs without having the burnt smell by just lighting it on fire. maybe there is some 'substance' there - not just style.

Shout out to Chris in Napa Valley visiting TK's French Laundry - take pictures buddy.
