It was our company's annual dinner. Location was the same as previous years, but for the first time it was a western set dinner rather than the traditional Chinese banquet.

Good variety, excellent presentation. I only tried a small piece, which tasted fresh.
Truffle Porcini Ravioli, Parmesan Sauce, Roasted Artichokes, Fava BeansMay be I was hungry - this first course turned out to be my favourite dish of the night. There was not a lot of fillings in the ravioli but it tasted very nice. There were also many slices (a bit too many) of parmasan cheese on top of the cheese sauce, making it quite a heavy first course.
Seafood Bisque, Lung King Heen X.O. SauceI was very looking forward to this soup when I saw the menu, but it turned out to be much less exciting. It was rich in flavours with bite size bits of clams/ prawns, but it was overly salty and I couldn't really taste any fresh seafood flavour. May be it was overwhelmed by the so called XO sauce in the soup? (another example of east meets west failure)
Nordic Salmon in Squid-Ink Butter Crust, Coriander Potatoes, Braised EndivesAgain this dish sounded really interesting on the menu, yet again I was disappointed. The black crust didn't have the squid ink taste I was expecting. Instead it tasted burnt so I was doubting if the blackened crust was the squid ink sauce or the burnt crust. The salmon itself was bland and overdone as the flesh was on the tough side.
Demi-Sel Caramel Ice Cream Profiteroles, Grilled Apple, Chocolate SauceThe profiteroles turned out as one huge muffin like pie, which was quite difficult to eat. Ended up just tasting the icecream which went well with the warm grilled apple slices. The chocolate sacue on the side was nice too with the rasberries.
Overall I am giving them a smiley face for the presentation, innovation, service and setting. However the food quality and consistency can be improved given it is supposed to be a top hotel in Hong Kong. 张贴
