My wife and I went to dinner at around 8pm Saturday. The restaurant is only ~half full. It is our anniversary. It is named Top20 in Tatler HK. Should be good, right? A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!The menu only have 3 pages -- Degustation Menu, Degustation Vegetarian, A La Carte (Starter & Meat). After we ordered the Degustation, the matre de came back and told us Degustation set sold out. I was shock. With reservation and such a small menu, I expect Degustation should be available.No choice, too late to
The menu only have 3 pages -- Degustation Menu, Degustation Vegetarian, A La Carte (Starter & Meat).
After we ordered the Degustation, the matre de came back and told us Degustation set sold out. I was shock. With reservation and such a small menu, I expect Degustation should be available.
No choice, too late to go other place. Pick 2 Starter & 2 Main. The chef offered 4 free petit apertizer. Strange but most are sweet. The quail egg with spices and covered by a sugar coating, some liquor ball (not suitable for children), some tapioca thing (also sweet)... A bad omen.
The Starter -- The Crab that come with 4 dainty pieces (blow away if I sneeze hard); Foe gras (grill & steam w Thai consomme). Both are bland to taste. The Foe Gras still have tough tendon inside. When try to eat, the tendon just destroy the whole foe gras. FAIL
The Main -- The Lamb Shoulder (slow cook 12hr). Showed up as a small cylinder (1in dia x 3 in long) with 2 pinches of Masala powder and 2 teaspoon of sauce! I had apertizer with larger serving than that. It was also bland. The Suckling Pig, like the lamb, showed up a small slice. Worse, no crispy skin. Asked the waiter & was told that this is supposed to be crispy! FAIL I can go to any BBQ shop and get a piece of roast pig with crispy skin at 1/10 the price and twice the serving.
Dessert -- don't bother. Only 3 kind.
After dinner, I have to go to nearby to have wonton noodle & dessert as my wife and I are still hungry. This is outrageous. I was so upset that I have to write this review. Value for Money = 0. Worst anniversay dinner I ever have!
I will NEVER visit this restaurant, and I will make sure NONE of my friends will visit this place.
