That being said I was much more impressed in food and service by Lung King Heen (***, HKG), even though it was for dinner instead of their dim sum lunch service.
Deja vu - I had an a la carte meal at RGR two years ago with those same two choices, i.e., the pressed foie gras and the lamb, and I had similar thoughts afterwards. The lobster and langoustine ravioli is by far the best dish I've had at this restaurant, and it would rank near the top of my list of 'best signature dishes'. I was kicking myself for ordering the lamb instead that evening.
Even that palate cleanser looks identical to what we had, only ours was passion fruit not coconut.
