Chocolate Tasting and Cooking with Chocolate
Last year I joined a group of dedicated foodies for a blind chocolate tasting to determine if there really is that much difference between an inexpensive brand and an expensive brand. We tried dark truffles made by 13 different companies and while opinions were mixed as to the best we all came away feeling a little wiser for the experience. Why? Not because we had reached any definitive conclusions but because we had learnt about the supposed four keys to chocolate tasting: Appearance, Aroma, Texture, Taste. In this article I spoke to three experts about these keys and get their views on chocolate tasting and cooking with chocolate.

As we learnt in part one sous-vide is not a new technique. It has simply become more well-known among diners due to leading culinary professionals who champion the technique and use it in many of their creations, such as Thomas Keller, Joël Robuchon, Charlie Trotter, Heston Blumenthal, Ferran Adria, and Tetsuya Wakuda. And, it has now advanced into the homes of the amateur with the release of a water-oven for home use.

Superb Brunch
Brunch at Amber at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental has never disappointed me. With their free flow of Veuve Clicquot, and their unlimited dessert buffet with their very own chocolate sommelier(Max) fixing up your dose of sweets for the day. Something surely not to be missed. The managers and servers there are very knowledgeable, providing excellent service, maintaining a smile and professionalism at all times.
Brunch Hours: Sat and Sun 11:00-3:00pm.
Parma Ham Taster:
Although I'm not a huge fan, they had a pretty good selection and boy, does the presentation impress?
Tomato Confit
This on the other hand was a tasty and appetizing gazpacho. Refreshing and sweet. The serving wasn't too generous though, it was gone in two small sips.
Pan-fried foie gras with poached rhubarb and hibiscus and black pepper coulis:
There are some dishes that I would probably prefer in a smaller scale restaurant, such as their foie gras, not one of the best but of course, still above average. The seasoning was near perfect, it was rather the texture where I had my doubts. The outside was not crispy enough, while the inside was amazing, melting in your mouth as you would expect.
Tasmanian salmon:
confit smoked and served warm. The generous hunk of salmon had a thin crispy skin, while the texture of uncooked smoked salmon, but it was warm, soft and tender.
Black Cod:
melted in my mouth, although it's not too flavorful, the texture made up for it. The garlic foam made a nice addition to the fish.

everything you
My friend almost fell asleep during dinner there because the lighting was so dark and there are huge gaps between courses. I really enjoyed the food but thought it was overpriced. But the service was wonderful. 5-star hotel quality

Deserves more attention
Fantastic food and attentive waiters but not many people go, which means lots of privacy. Expensive but worth it every now and then.
How much did you spend?

Very good
Very accommodating service (Joey and Max), no doubt, food is excellent every time.
