Since yesterday was a festival occasion and no prior reservation was been made, I was thoroughly surprised by the availability of seats for two while expecting the result from the capricious call to be negative. 

And there we went. Mid-Autumn Banquet at AMBER.
AMBER offers both set and a la carte menu in either English or Chinese. Me and my mom both chose the 9-Course set from Degustation Menu, consisting some of the signature dishes from the restaurant *Automatic Drooling*, which was about $2068HKD/person and $1518HKD for extra wine/person

Before delivering the order, the waiters will ask for any allergies or personal dislikes/absolute proscriptions on certain food that you have. Very considerate indeed.

Before the actual courses, AMBER prepared a series of welcoming appetisers plus bread & butter, which you can take unlimited amount if you feel no shame to ask [lols].

ALERT: MAIN COURSE COMING

There are two choices for main course, fish or beef. I chose fish and my mom chose beef. If not specifically asked, both will be prepared medium, except that my mom asked for medium-well for the beef though. The waiter recommended to start with fish first, I guess me and my mom are supposed to share the two....? We shared them anyway.

Finishing up the main course, we are offered the choice of cheese. My mom wasn't a fan of cheese, so she alternated it to a French carrot dish, but it turned out that she isn't a fan of French carrot either 


AMBER has a wide selection of French cheeses for diners to chose. 4 different kinds at a time. I am no expert at cheese so the waitress did the selection for me. They also provided two slices  of bread - either wheat bread or bread mixed with dried fruits - for tasting.

Heavenly experience at AMBER ended my Mid-Autumn Night. Big satisfaction, stomach, as well as the Degustation menu to carry home 
 !
题外话/补充资料: Heed of dress code when dining at AMBER. I could only remember prohibition on slippers. Ripped jeans should be allowed for ladies, just don't go TOO overboard ==.
