Updated on Jan 25th, 2010 with feedback from C.
Ah Gaddi’s again… Didn’t intend to do a full review this time, but brought the camera along…just in case. Luckily we did. In between our soup and main course, the captain asked us if we liked cheese… You must be kidding…of course!!! YES!!!
Just when we thought the question was referring to an after dinner cheese trolley of some sort, a cheese dish appeared in front of our eyes. It was a long strip of Brie! In the middle of a course? It turned out to be Brie marinated with truffle. Kept in the fridge for a few days, it was served slightly melted on a bed of truffle mash potatoes and topped with more truffles. Wow! The taste was not as pungent as we expected (judging from the ingredients), but it was just right as it did not overwhelm the main course that followed.
We later found out that this was a teaser for the black truffle dinner at the end of January. Reservation please.

Hmmmm, there is room to improve – the mash potatoes were not creamy enough – need some fine tuning… Would say 18/20 and hopefully we can have a 20/20 truffle brie on the 6th…

Updated the rating…let’s see if they have improved it for the truffle dinner on Feb 6th.

Ha! Looks like C has the final word on rating, as it should be in any healthy relationship!
Not sure if I told you, but unfortunately we picked the WRONG Peninsula restaurant to dine during our trip. Gaddi’s sounds much much better than Felix.

Well there’s always a next trip to Hong Kong. Hope to see you soon.
