I have always been a big fan of Philippe Orrico's food, whom I used to follow since his Pierre HK days and then at St George - both Michelin starred places. Upon hearing his new opening of a new Bistro, I wanted to come by and try out some dishes by myself and also with my foodie friends!We ordered the following dishes :1) Pigs Trotter and French Oysters on Toasts $180 - this was served coldish but the gelatinous trotters base with the minerally huge oysters was an ingenious combination of fl
Upon hearing his new opening of a new Bistro, I wanted to come by and try out some dishes by myself and also with my foodie friends!
We ordered the following dishes :
1) Pigs Trotter and French Oysters on Toasts $180 - this was served coldish but the gelatinous trotters base with the minerally huge oysters was an ingenious combination of flavours. 4/5
2) Orange Salad - with Almond candies, Orange , Yuzu parfait and last but not least, White Truffle Vanilla ice cream. This was so refreshing but well constructed as an overall concept... 5/5
3) Chocolate ganache with Calisson ice cream and Nuts - this was so rich and flavorful, smooth and the Calisson ice cream was made with lemon and almonds so it balances out the nuttiness and chocolates. Another winner! 4.5/5
Although I haven't had much dishes yet, I know we will be back soon for some lovely group dinner. One of the most exciting new openings in HK. And if you have been to La Marmite before which was also looked after by Chef Orrico previously, this Upper Modern
Bistro is even more hardcore and playful!
