Amuse Bouche has nice scenic views on a clear day, situated on the 22nd floor of the renovated Hennessy Building.
It claims to serve French cuisine, opened by the chef from Petrus (Mandalay tells me).
For my lunch, I had:
-Soft potato gnocchi with parmesan cheese, foie gras sauce
-Braised free range chicken leg served with green peas and mushrooms
The food was ok, but I just felt that it wasn’t very Parisien, it was a fusion of upper end western food and Japanese food, such as Salmon and soy wasabi, lobster and salted egg yolk, it doesn’t sound very french to me! Compared to Petrus, I would say that they offer more French food there.
The gnocchi were piping hot and smooth with potato inside and slightly cheesy, which seemed more Italian, anyway, I think French gnocchi are not supposed to contain potato.
The chicken was very soft, and came off the bone easily. It was covered in gravy containing sliced asparagus, peas, and mushroom. Again the mushrooms made it Asian, because they were shiitake mushrooms.
For starters I had bread with butter, the texture of the butter was just right, it was spreadable, also there was Volvanic lava salt too. The Volvanic lava salt was black, and looked like flakes of charcoal crystals.
I like the fact that this place has a functioning website, and the menu can be found there too.
The service was ok, after the starters, the waitors would brush away the crumbs from the table.
For beverages, I felt the tea wasn’t hot when it was brought out.
