Due to the viral outbreak, there is a food campaign called United we dine where some special menus are included. Amber was one of them and their menu included 3 glasses of wine(4 if you add the dessert wine). This menu was so good I went here twice just to try the different items of the menu(so please note you won't be able to try everything in this review if you go once)Amber was still quite empty that day though it filled up around 8pm. The place looked amazing and I was really looking for war

Amber was still quite empty that day though it filled up around 8pm. The place looked amazing and I was really looking for ward to the dishes.
Before I start with the food, of course Amber's service was impeccable. They introduce all their food, ingredients and wine in detail and time to time checking in if everything is ok.

The Fluke was a great start with its sauce a mixture of sweetness and savory. The fish had a firm texture and its mild flavor went well the the rich sauce.

The other first course I tried the second time is their signature Aka Uni. Despite the fluke was good, I definitely understand why Aka Uni is their signature. The richness of the flavors of the layers were incredible. The Caviar was fragrant without being salty and the Uni and Lobster gave the dish another depth of flavor with the cauliflower balancing out all these rich flavors. Definitely a star.

The next is the Spelt. It is a little bit like risotto but less creamy and more chewy. The different types of mushrooms gave this dish an earthy flavor and prepared you for the next lobster dish.

The Spiny Lobster was a view. It was like a lovely garden with its sauce as the background and the plankton being the flowers of in the garden. Despite its small size, each one packed a rich flavor and the sauce made the dish even more appetizing.

The first main I tried was the toothfish. The fish was almost as soft as the sauce. The sweetness of the onion and pinot noir was just right. I have to say it was better then the tenderloin.

The second time I tried the tenderloin. The tenderloin was perfectly medium rare and the asparagus had a nice crunch. However, I didn't find the black vinegar sauce a great match to the tenderloin but that just my own personal opinion.

The dessert gave the menu a lovely end. The nuts and lemon filling was so refreshing and yet the right amount of sweetness was added stopping the dessert from being too tart.
