The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The founder and head chef Mok moved his restaurant to this location in 2021. As always, top notch ingredients like sea urchin, abalone and blue lobsters are flown in daily from Japan and France. But the theatrical cooking now happens in a much bigger room, along with a private room that seats eight. The wine list also sees a lot more choices. Amadai with sea urchin cream sauce stands out in particular, with its crispy scales and juicy flesh.
