Jardin de Jade - My First Time at a Michelin Star restaurant HK

Kali ini kita menengok bagaimana sih restoran yang dapat Michelin Star di Hong kong.
Kalau sebelumnya, saya sudah pernah coba resto berbintang Michelin, Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken (HKSSC) di Singapura, tapi kelas harganya masih mirip street food, dan bisa dikategorikan casual dining. Ga bakal cocok bawa camer atau rekan bisnis untuk makan di sana.
Untuk perbandingan, HKSSC di China Town (yang dapat Michelin Star) harganya dibandrol sekitar 5-8 SGD, sedangkan hawker center biasanya cukup 3-4 SGD, jadi beda harganya ga jauh, beda rasanya juga tidak jauh beda.
This time we get to see, how's a genuine Michelin Star restaurant in Hong Kong goes.
I've tried similar Michelin Starred restaurant in Singapore before, but it's quite a different experience.
The one I had in Singapore is called Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken (HKSSC) which is located in Singapore's Chinatown.
It's starkly different, mainly in the type of restaurant, Singapore HKSSC is an affordable dining experience, with a diner vibe and atmosphere.
For price reference, a soya chicken in hawker centers goes for S$ 3-4, whilst the Michelin starred ones are S$5-8.

Jardin de Jade adalah resto yang lebih mewah dibanding HKSSC yang saya sebutkan di atas, satu menu di sini rata-rata sekitar HKD 80 atau sekitar SGD 15
Satu menu lauk harganya dua kali lipat menu lengkap nasi ayam di HKSSC Singapura, jadi ya.. beda jauh
Karenanya, resto Jardin ini lebih cocok untuk mewakili kualitas resto yang berhasil mendapatkan sertifikasi Michelin Star
Jardin de Jade is a very different kind of establishment.
The menu are priced a few times more expensive, for example the above chicken dish, is three times more expensive than the Soya Chicken set in Singapore's HKSSC.
With that in mind, this place would be more suitable to get a genuine Michelin Starred dining experience.
Kesimpulannya masakannya enak, unik, dan sepertinya cocok dengan selera internasional
Rasa masakannya tidak terlalu tajam, jadi tidak bakal ada turis asing yang anti banget, tapi di sisi lain yang terbiasa masakan rasa nendang, bakal merasa ada yang kurang.
Kalau untuk saya, setelah beberapa kali ditraktir kiri kanan (untung ada sodara di sini), jadinya bisa tahu kelas masakan high end hongkong seperti apa.
So we had a very interesting dishes to try. It's not that different from your typical Chinese Restaurant in Hong Kong. Basically it's a milder version, catered to international taste.
For me it's lacking some bold tasting spices that I usually savor from Cantonese Dishes, or generally other Chinese Cuisine, but it does still tastes great.
Lucky for me, I got relatives and friends in Hong Kong that were kind enough to take me along for an exquisite dinners.
Kalau sedang solo travelling dan makan sendirian, saya sendiri masih lebih suka dengan hidangan depot / kaki lima seperti grilled pork / Ca siu di bawah.
Daging sebesar ini kalau tidak salah hanya habis sekitar Rp 100rb saja
Other times when I'm solo travelling, I enjoy the local street food experience much more.
This slab of grilled pork below were very tasty yet affordable
Costing around 60-70 HKD or around Rp 100.000,-
