Um, I was super hungry that I ate everything before the picture was taken... Running is not very good sometimes.

Michillin star restaurant in Hong Kong, Caprice. The lunch set is very reasonable, and this is my first experience with star restaurant.
I ordered the fish consomme with Rouille Custard and Melba Toast, Braised Beef Cheek with Vegetable Tagliatelle, Charlotte Potatoes and Red Wine Sauce, finished off with Raspberry Éclair with Tropical Vanilla, Dark Chocolate and Wild Berry Sorbet. I have read so much about consomme, how the broth is carefully prepared, filtered so to be clear as water and full of body. Um, it really tasted like soup with a lot of MSG, I guess French kitchen has nothing of that sort, man, I am drinking a very good bow of soup. The temperature is surprisingly Chinese, I hate lurk warm soup like most western style ones normally are. Many thanks to the jog in the morning, I had 3 pieces of bread that are freshly out of oven, spreaded loads of butter over them, um, I love bread.
The beef cheek is a bit disappointing, I guess it should be fattier, it is lacking the "wow" factor. The texture or something? I think I am more excited with the beef noodle in Din Tai Feng. But it is eatable, fine.
The real climax is the desert. The Eclair is pretty light and elegant. The espresso is just about right to finish off the sweets.
