Krug Room + Mandarin Grill: Pictorial

I've always been a fan of the Mandarin Oriental restaurants. Why? Well, because of the below...

Krug Room: "Meat Fruit"
- Liver pâté disguised as a mini pear (thank you, progressive gastronomy). Served with black truffle brioche.

Krug Room: "'Rain' Flower Pot Salad"
Mix of steamed and raw greens arranged in arugula "soil" purée.

Krug Room: "Bounty Bar"
Coconut and chocolate with pop rocks = :D

Mandarin Grill: Amuse Bouche
Spherical olive + spun sugar sitting on some black sesame situation.

Mandarin Grill: "RAW" ($268)
Kindai, salmon, hamachi, botan shrimp, sake, cucumber.

Mandarin Grill: "Black Cod" ($428)
Cod with coriander, ginger, miso, sesame, praline. And Oyster leaf.

FOOD: 4.5/5
SERVICE: 5/5
ATMOSPHERE: 4.75/5

  1. It is a really odd feeling being able to identify solid sources for inspiration in most of these dishes: meat fruit from Heston Blumenthal's Feasts, edible potted plants at Noma, spherification from elBulli...

    I'd kill for that 'Bounty bar' though.

  2. Finally got around to doing the Krug Room after all these years... pretty fantastic meal. Not exactly El Bulli but playful in a different way.
