Has anyone have any experience with Bo Innovation, Lung King Heen, or Tang Court?
I've had 1 and 2 star Michelin European cuisine before so note sure if 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA and L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon would be so different.
The michelin stars rating in Hong Kong is a mystery to me
Bo Innovation deserves zero star. I was surprised when they had 2 stars
Lung King Heen, OK, good probably one star
Sushi sikon : overpriced, good food but can't justify the price
The Chinese restaurant at the IC is my favorite Chinese restaurant (the Japanese one is meeuh)
Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA , I love it, the food is very tasty. Not extremely upscale. Make me thing of the Mandarin Grill at the MO which also very good (especially at dinner). Did go back to both restaurants
Robuchon : one single table, so you most probably seat at the counter. The bread basket was very good. The food was good but not as good as Paris. Won't go back (I didn't find any Robuchon better than Paris, Monaco is a close call)
Amber has only 2 stars but is in IMHO better than all above
Keeping the best for the end : Pierre Gagnaire (the actual chef is supposed to leave soon if not already gone)
Speaking about Michelin star, there are sub levels inside each category
So you can be 1 star : weak, average or strong. Unfortunately these info are not public.
