Ecriture, a 2 stars Michelin restaurant led by Executive Chef Maxime Gilbert who elevates French Cuisine to new level by fusioning with exceptional Japanese ingredients. It located at top floor of H Queen’s in Central with artist’s blank canvas interior. My friend and I have chosen the 5 courses lunch ($788) and we have basically selected all different dishes from the menu in order for us to try almost everything (except the caviar and white truffle which needs extra).

My friend and I have chosen the 5 courses lunch ($788) and we have basically selected all different dishes from the menu in order for us to try almost everything (except the caviar and white truffle which needs extra).
The Appetiser is Iwashi, Japanese sardine sashimi mixed with bergamot with Kobocha and hyssop. I would say the sauce is so special that I couldn’t find words to describe. It’s a perfect match with the strong taste fish like sardine. Vegetal Tortellini decorated like a beautiful flower and taste good but not as spectacular as the sardine.
2nd appetiser is Hagatsuo which served with peat and tagette jelly. It comes with I would say the best Sourdough in town. The other one is Tuna with crepes cooked in papillary and Japanese Shine muscat and pione grapes.
The Main course is grilled Kinki with leek fondue flavoured with fresh mint. The Kinki meat is so soft and perfectly charcoal grilled. The other main is french chicken with herbs under the skin. The course came with a small chicken rice with chicken liver.
Finally it’s the dessert. The first dessert is Persimmon, shave in ribbon and serve it raw with sorbet, calamansi gel and candied walnut.
2nd dessert is pear opalys white chocolate ganache and nuts feuillantine.
The petite four comes with Cognac Chocolate Tart, cream cheese Sponge cake and Japanese Strawberries. The chocolate cakes and sponge cake are in full dessert portion. I love the Cognac Chocolate so much as it gives a very strong Cognac and rich dark chocolate flavour.
I must come back for their dinner menu after the pandemic lock down.
