Food is just not his strength.
I had the exact same pasta and cheeseburger he had at the Pier, and they were nowhere near to being "superb": they were actually quite poor IMHO.
I don't know the writer, but to be fair, nowadays the quality of the same dishes can vary a lot depending on the day. One example from late last year; had a dish that I considered to be perhaps the best dish I had ever had in Pier F. Then next week, went back and decided to get the exact same dish. Had to send it back as it was totally inedible.
That being said, I've never really understood the rave about the burger either. I find that you can get a much better one even at one of those McDonald's shops in HK where you can assemble your own.
