On Thursday I had the absolute privilege of having one of the best meals of my life. A friend of mine had made reservations at a restaurant called TBLS (as in Tablespoon). He had planned to go with a few people, but he had to travel, so luckily I was one of the lucky recipients of the reservation. I say lucky because you have to book at least a month in advance at this restaurant. Weekend reservations are months and months in advance. It's a set 6 course menu with an amuse bouche and palette cleanser as well. I won't pretend to be a total foodie and know a lot about food, but I know when something is good. And this was divine!
There is only one sitting and the restaurant can only hold a maximum of 18 people. The 'restaurant' is tucked away in a semi-run down building. You need a code to get in the door and once you're in, travel up to the seventh floor in a run down elevator. The kitchen is out in the open and the four or five tables are placed around it. They don't advertise...this restaurant is all work of mouth and apparently word is travelling fast.
If you are ever going to Hong Kong, be sure to make reservations here well in advance, it is worth it!
Here is a review and a write up. The blog post in the second link features some of the menu, although a few of the dishes were different for me. The three other people I was with at the restaurant have all made repeat reservations. Yum!
