Honestly, I was truly NOT impressed with Bo Innovation (not pointing the finger at Bo as he wasn't there when I had dinner there). When I first made the reservation I have mentioned that I am pregnant and requested no raw, unpasteurized food and certain cheese to be in my dish, given the reservation was made 2 weeks beforehand.Before we started the meal, the guy who introduced the menu had told me they understand my situation and no need to worry.

Before we started the meal, the guy who introduced the menu had told me they understand my situation and no need to worry. I asked to go through the menu just in case there are any misunderstanding, but was reassured by him that they got it.
As I waited for the dishes worry-free, the Air dish was no problem. When they served Caviar, they told me instead of the smoked egg they made it scrambled. They had the tone that they made it just right and perfect. In shocked I still had the caviar on top, understand it would be a waste for anyone to cook up such a delicacy, I stayed calm and asked them to check if the caviar was pasteurized. The answer from them was an "I don't know and I don't bother to find out" and I just think that they don't understand what the word "pasteurized" means in English. I sort of let it go and let my husband eat the caviar instead. Minus 10 points there.
Then I again insist to go over the menu again so they don't do something stupid and mindless again, as they are the people who is making the food and should understand how such food are made and where the food came from. Going over the menu they said the foie gras will be cooked a bit more to ensure it is not raw in the middle, oyster will be taken out and will give a couple more slices of the beef tongue, and the toro tuna dish will be modified to something else as it would be a waste to cook the toro to eat that dish.
So the Oyster and Bamboo dish came out as they said and was edible (in terms of my "requirement"). When they came out with the modified version of the Umami, instead of the Toro they gave me Parma ham.... Are they stupid? As chefs wouldn't they even know the minimal basic of how such food is made? It was a cured meat, means it was done AND stayed raw, I don't even need to get into the detail of the bacteria scientific talk here, but c'mon, did the term "raw" or "unpasteurized" not associated with cured meat? I made sure I didn't blow up as this meal was treated by my cousin and I didn't want him to feel bad, I simply gave up and just told them to torch the damn meat instead of asking them to use their non-existing brain to give me another dish.
Paying over HKD 2,380 for the Chef Table Menu with their stupidity simply is not worth it, not even counting that some of the people who work there have such a stuck up attitude just because they work at Bo, and let me repeat, they work there, not own, so no need to have such a snooty attitude.
