Adventure #110: Celebrity Cuisine

We have heard of Celebrity Cuisine 名人坊 for quite a while and have meant to give it a try.  It has since moved up from 1 star to 2 stars in the Hong Kong Michelin guide and I have yet to try it (G went for a business lunch there some time back and can't quite remember what it was like).  G's mum and aunt were in town and what better excuse for a meal.

So here we were on a Saturday evening.  The restaurant was packed, may be coz it was not big to start with.  The decor is modern with a purple theme, very contemporary.

煎蘿蔔糕
Complimentary fried turnip cake. Very nice with the spicy XO sauce.

燕窩釀鳳翼
This is one of the signature dishes, must pre-order.
Stuffed chicken wings with bird's nest.  Unusual.

Lots of bird's nest, at HK$120 per piece, it's money's worth. However, we preferred bird's nest as a desert dish and not a savoury dish.
So, a dish to try but not to repeat.

琵琶豆腐
Excellent tofu dish.  Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

燒牛肉
Grilled beef, Japanese style as it was served with soy sauce and wasabi.
OK dish although G thought the texture was halfway between ox-tongue and sirloin, thus a bit weird.

蟹肉蒸水蛋
An excellent dish. The steamed egg - silky smooth.

雲腿芥菜膽
An acceptable dish, some of the veggie maybe a bit old.

花彫焗飛天雞
This is another of their signature dish, braised chicken in Chinese wine.
Chicken was tender with the aroma of the wine, good dish.

We also wanted to try their signature fried rice, 富哥炒飯, but the waiter forgot it when we ordered. We decided not to wait for it as we were already quite full.

Complimentary fruit - very sweet

Complimentary desert - green bean soup.
Let's just say desert is not their strength.

Food quality is good but menu not too extensive.  More of a celebrity canteen than a everyday restaurant.  In comparison, G and I preferred The Chairman just round the corner to this place.
