Presentation is everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are more and more western cafes, restaurants propping up all over Hong Kong. But you know what 90% of them lack?
Nope... Not the environment. Not the food either, the taste is generally there. Service is quite acceptable. It's the PRESENTATION!
Take this for example: A pudding.
You can see that the chef tried to decorate it the "western way". With mango syrup to add swirls to line the plate. But it just looks.... WRONG!
And this is even worse. This is a Green Tea Serraduca with red-bean... Just looks... UGH!
A wagyu beef steak may be beautifully grilled in a fine dining restaurant in Hong Kong.. But I have YET to find one that can do "plating" beautifully.....

Definitely have to come back to NZ for the whole fine dining experience!
Went to Sails restaurant last time, their plating was amazing!
Absolutely love the whole experience, from the service to the food to the chef's effort in plating to the atmosphere.
I can't wait for 2 weeks non stop western dining when I come back end of the year!
You are absolutely right. Plating is very important.
