Valentines Date at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon

It's already March and i'm just writing about my valentine's date! :D I've been busy the past couple of weeks preparing for Jean & Rosz's summer shoe collection! Hopefully you'll all love it, and i can't wait to share them (hint: think neons and color blocking). Anyways, back to my valentine's, K and I spent it at Hong Kong, we don't usually celebrate valentine's and make a big fuss about it, honestly i don't get the hype that comes with it (sorry!) BUT when you spend it someplace else, now that's a different story! haha ;) K surprised me with a trip to Hong Kong and a reservation at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, i was really surprised coz like i've said we don't make a big fuss over valentine's day, but a nice surprise i might add! I've heard great reviews with the restaurant so i was very excited! Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a friendly host and escorted to your seat. We chose the bar area because you'll be able to see the  chef's in action there. It's like watching Top Chef but i get to eat the food! Everything we ordered came out so beautifully plated, but there were some hits and misses with the food.

Lolo Dad's

As i've said a lot of times in this blog, i love love food and of course i enjoy it more when i am with great company. So for my christmas lunch with childhood friends we decided to go to Lolo Dad's Cafe in Malate.

Interiors with a big open show kitchen.

We all decided to order the degustation menu. And i have to say, it was sooo worth it! It was a memorable meal and a perfect year end lunch.

Complimentary bread basket with butter.

Garlic Pimenton Prawn w/ Spanish Caviar and Grilled Chorizo on vacuum cooked cantaloupe. 
Super enjoyed the prawn!

Honey and Macadamia nut oil glazed Duck Breast and Pan Fried Duck Liver. Cranberry marmalade, young lettuce and popcorn salad. 
I love duck breast, i love duck liver and i love macadamia! love X 3!!! ;) So this was my favorite of all! 

Truffle Powder dusted Diver Scallops w/ Three Pea and Soft Potatoes. 
My 2nd favorite dish! The scallop was cooked perfectly! Light but very flavorful.

Calamansi sorbet

Roast Tajima Wagyu Ribeye w/ Braised Ox Tongue, Goat's Brie Cheese Fried Pie, Shallots, Mushrooms. 
Just ok for me, i've had better steak and i'm not fond of ox tongue but i really liked the fried brie cheese!

Dark Valrhona Chocolate Cannoli w/ Fresh Strawberries, Vanilla Almond Ice Cream and Rosemary Butter Cake. 

I loved this too! I thought i was too full to finish this but i just can't help myself! haha i guess it's that good!


I can't wait to go back as there are a lot of dishes in the a la carte menu that i still want to try. I highly recommend this place for those special occasions and romantic dates. Valentines day is coming up, i suggest you make reservations now! More date place options here.
