Amber

Lara★★★★★★★★★★5.0a week ago

Tried several Michelin fine dining restaurants in Hongkong and Amber is best!! (visited on the 27th of May) Also all dishes are dairy-free. Which is a great option for lactose intolerance parties. I highly recommend Amber ! All the dish is really tasty! And I really mean ‘All’. For me, the most memorable dish was the Kinmedai and the Firefly Squid which was served in the Kitchen :)

People say you eat with your eyes, then your nose and finally the mouth. The foods in Amber pleased my eyes more so than my mouth. Taste is a very personal thing and the foods in Amber was a little mild for my palate. The sourdough table bread was probably the best I have had but the vegan butter did not highlight the bread as much as real butter would have been. The ‘spherification’ which was a spherical shaped croissant was excellent but I did not think it added anything to the duck foie gras. The bulgur wheat risotto under the frog leg was very good, the frog leg was a little tough but the batter was crispy. I had the ishigakidai which was marinated for 16 hrs and the skin was seared to perfection. The fish meat was not cooked but cured by the marinade and had a little fishy smell. The green sauce was too mild for my taste. We were celebrating a birthday and the restaurant provided us a cake which was a very nice gesture. Overall service was as good as expected.

Most wonderful experience. Highly recommend cellar experience. We tried the Amber Enigma experience and it was unforgettable and amazing!! We would love to do the cheese tasting one in the amazing cellar too. Loved the dish in the kitchen seeing all the chefs working with precision to produce magic. Cheers to the whole team for an outstandong experience!

A French restaurant that is dairy-free? Not something that I would have expected to have seen with three Michelin stars, but I completely understand why. The food is amongst the nicest I have ever eaten and somehow, chef Richard Ekkebus manages to achieve all of the flavours and textures that accompany traditional dairy ingredients. Not only is it an amazing experience to dine at a three Michelin star restaurant, but to be given the opportunity to visit the kitchen is what feels like a once in lifetime experience. Part of the ‘Full Amber experience’ involves being escorted into the kitchen where the chefs introduce themselves and show you how the food is prepared. It was amazing to see the number of staff, stations and processes going on. The kitchen staff were very friendly and happy to explain their processes. From the minute you enter Amber, the service is of the highest calibre. It is fine dining that does not miss a beat. When you glass is finished, someone is already on their way to collect it. When your party has finished a meal, multiple staff come out of nowhere to collect all the plates. There were three of us in the party and we had the ‘Full Amber Experience; and the ‘Full Vegetarian Amber Experience’. Firstly, they were more than accommodating with an allergy and also with a couple of substitutes. There is not enough room, or time to describe all of the dishes we had but here are a couple of favourites. Dried mushroom and truffle dumpling tea. Despite ‘tea’ literally being in the title, I was not expecting it to be a liquid. It absolutely blew me away. An amazing explosion of mushroom with a ‘dumpling’ at the bottom. The dumpling had the texture of an egg yolk (with a slightly thicker membrane) but without the usual yolky flavour. Heirloom tomatoes and strawberry with soymilk burrata. An amazing pairing of flavours that I would never have thought would work. I had never heard of, nor considered the idea of a soymilk burrata, but it truly was a delight. Aka Uni – Cauliflower – lobster. Subjectively, it was a bit too fishy for me. Objectively, it was very well balanced and I understand why it was brought back as the specialty. It can be very hard to visit a three Michelin star restaurant as expectations can be too high to achieve. Amber met, and surpassed, any prior expectations I had. There was not a single fault to note and I will be visiting again when next in Hong Kong. Massive shoutout to Arthur who was truly a delight and wonder.

The service is amazing, it’s my first time visiting a 3 star restaurant. It’s an excellent spot for special occasions. The signature uni is a must try. The Addition of Buddha’s hand citron surprised me the most as it was not expected from the dining course but still well balanced with the dish. Really like the charsiu as a part of local signature blend into the main course. But the slightly raw pork meat really just not my cup of tea
