Cantonese cuisine, which has three Michelin stars for ten consecutive years, has been subject to constant controversy and praise
As the only three-Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong, China, Tang Gate has always interpreted traditional Cantonese cuisine aesthetics within a classical framework, while controversy and praise have never stopped.
After the dinner experience that day, I was able to feel the strength of Tang Gate as a benchmark for traditional Cantonese cuisine.
⭕ Pepper and salt bacon, textbook-level interpretation. From the appetizers, you can see that the control of the oil temperature has been introduced by the back chef of Tang Gate. The outside of the bacon is crispy but not greasy, the inside is soft and sweet, locking the deep sea atmosphere. The outstanding pepper and salt seasoning makes the freshness of the bacon have a three-dimensional texture.
⭕ Three onion burst lobster, the sweetness of purple onion, the crispness of jade onion, the charred aroma of fried onion, the pan layer is quite three-dimensional, together to match the lobster meat, although the use of Hong Kong small green dragon, but good quality, precise heat, shrimp meat just right, tender and sweet.
⭕ Honey char siu, using a flower fork, old-fashioned style, slightly plump, in line with the traditional [fatty first] barbecue philosophy, honey seasoning is not sweet, with flower fork, taste to see.
⭕ Stuffed and baked fresh crab lid, hand-removed deep-sea crab meat, with creamy onions, crispy shell coating, cut after seeing the milky interior, smell the rich aroma, you can eat the original fresh, you can also add some Zhenjiang vinegar, with acidity to unlock a deeper freshness flavor.
⭕ Wolfberry osmanthus cake, amber frozen form, light osmanthus aroma, Q bouncy delicious, pineapple cake quite interesting made into pear shape, slightly sour pulp fiber texture delicate, and protein almond tea round and mellow form a round closed loop. Oh by the way, egg white almond tea is almost 0 sweetness, which I personally love.
As Mi San, the aura of Tang Gate is dazzling enough, and it is destined to be demanded by diners with strict standards. In addition to industry-based standards, individualized tastes will also be judged. Modern people's taste coordinates are constantly shifting, and sticking to the traditional Cantonese cuisine framework will inevitably cause emerging taste buds to have expectations and experience gaps. So, where there is praise there will be controversy, and at the same time there is more room for extension.
