Stage back a year ago to my gastronomy trip in Paris, I missed dinning at Le Relais de l'Entrecôte, a famous steak frites in Paris as my stomach got real upset after all the delicious food that I had.

Fancy Lunch at L'atelier de Joël Robuchon

Price: $$$$

Cravingness: ★★★☆☆

My last visit to Joël Robuchon for lunch was about two years ago. I made the reservation at L'atelier as I have dined only at L'jardine previously. For those of you who have not been back for lunch for a while, here is my review on the latest lunch menu.

I have always wanted to dine at L'atelier since the dining hall looks more hip and vibrant. The red lighted atelier consists of a few tables but mainly bar seatings circling the open kitchen. Sitting at the bar, I can easily peek what the chefs are doing at the kitchen, but to my surprise, I could not smell any aroma from the kitchen. Their fanning system must be good.

Mott 32 - Best Cod Fish On Earth!

Price: $$$$

Cravingness: ★★★★★

Mott 32, an exciting Chinese Restaurant newly opened at central, is the talk of the town lately. I would never ever expect such a great hype on any Chinese restaurant. The grand opening night of Mott 32's was truly grand and magnificent. The entrance was red carpeted all the way to the restaurant, celebrities, skinny models with flashy outfit and smart looking guys were everywhere at the night of the opening.

Mott 32 is the new venture at the gourmet family Maximal Concepts, which also owns restaurants such as Blue Butcher, Brickhouse and Fish and Meat. I am a big fan of the group myself. Given the background, the food quality at Mott 32 is much guaranteed. I was invited over for a tasting at Mott 32 tonight, so let me show you what's good in there.

Remember my harsh review on Duddell's dinner (Click here to read if you are interested)? It was a terrible dining experience for me and I once thought I will never step into the doorstep of Duddell's ever again.
