A.Wong

What a fabulous name for a restaurant. A.Wong has held 2 Michelin stars for a few years now, it’s been on my list for years to try, but the last time I made a reservation I made the mistake of mentioning that I had a mild allergy to a few things and they promptly cancelled my reservation as they don’t do substitutes. Thankfully, this time I kept my mouth shut as any allergy I have is not life threatening, and this place was worth a try after so many years.

We opted for the “Touch of the Heart” tasting menu for lunch, which to my surprise and dread came with a 6 glass matching wine pairing. I was definitely feeling it by the end of the meal, thankfully the meal was delightful and surprising given I’ve had most of the dishes but never prepared in such a delicate manner. This is Dim Sum done to fine dining standards, with a kick ass wine pairing to boot. I will say, their duck egg custard bun is hands down the best custard bun I have ever had. It’s worth a trip just to delight in that.

Price per head: £175 with wine pairing
