Amber
$$$$, Contemporary, Central
Fodor's Review:
When the Landmark Mandarin Oriental hotel opened in 2005 its aim was to be seen as the preeminent hotel on Hong Kong Island. It only made sense, therefore, that it would contain a flagship power-lunch restaurant that aspires to a similar level of impeccable, modern style. At his best, chef Richard Ekkebus shows shades of true genius, as when he serves a gentle bisque of New Zealand scampi daringly paired with chicken-liver custard, unexpected but passionate bedfellows. Amber also excels with desserts, for instance a crisp hazelnut and Caraibe chocolate bar served with a "moccachino." Prices are high, but so is the ambition -- and the wavelike amber sculpture that soars like a grandiose pipe organ above the room.
