Hong Kong Madame’s fav: the Chicken Breast! First of all because Sunday chicken definitely is a thing in my family, then because ON Dining’s chicken is probably the best chicken in the world … perfectly tender, not dry at all. Never thought chicken could be that pornfood! 
 
Not trusting me (but why?) and keen on trying something else than the chicken? Grilled Lamb Cutlets, Smoked “Black” Wagyu Flap, Black Cod Teriyaki or Squid Ink Linguini are ready for you to dig in.
 
You might also wanna consider grabing a bunch of friends in case you wanna order the Côte de Boeuf or the Whole Atlantic Sole to share (minimum 4 people). 

 

If you’ve been at ON Dining before, you know cheese there is quite a big deal. It wouldn’t be a proper ON Dining feast without a cheesy selection and believe me, you definitely wanna go for a round of that. 

 

But make sure to save a bit of appetite for the desserts buffet and its sweet selection ranging from seasonal fruits to very French treats (OMG that Paris-Brest) and creative desserts. 

 

 
Wanna pimp your Sunday roast and make it boozy? Every Sunday it’s happy hour at ON Dining and you can enjoy wine, beers and a selection of cocktails for HKD 50/drink. 
 
Feels like home but an even yummier home (and being French, I can tell you that home is definitely yummy). Love it!
 
Hong Kong Madame loves: the price which we find very reasonable for a qualitative and fresh brunch in Central, in a Michelin-starred address.

Coming straight from Paris and recently opened in Harbour City Ocean Terminal, Artisan de la Truffe is the ultimate place to all things truffle-infused. Their signature dish if you ask me: the Tagliatelle (HKD 178) with truffle shaving. A plate of creaminess and over indulgence!

GIA
 
Craving for truffle pasta but planning on going for something which is not tagliatelle? Remember the feast I had at Gia few months ago ? Well, part of this feast was the Strozzapreti (HKD 188) – hand-twisted pasta served with Italian ham, mushroom and black truffle. They are to die for!

L’ATELIER DE JOEL ROBUCHON

It’s no secret to anyone, L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon is my fav restaurant on earth (whether it’s in Paris, in Hong Kong, in New York or wherever else they have outlets in the word). I know, simple tastes right? I just find it to be the perfect combination of delicate, surprising and yummy food, perfect service and not too posh atmosphere. Each and every of their tasting portions always seems like the yummiest dish I’ve ever had and La Truffle Blanche (HKD 360), Alba truffle served on a soft boiled egg on golden pearl rice with parmesan, is no exception.

ON DINING
 
Truffle and scallops … a match made in heaven if you ask me. Of course, I cannot resist their Scallop Carpaccio with truffle!

Truffle ok, but just shaving truffle on a dish doesn’t make it good if the other ingredients aren’t qualitative! But Fresh Winter Black Truffle shavings on a 24 months cured Iberico dry aged ribeye (HKD 258) that’s the kind of baby I like!

ARTISAN DE LA TRUFFE

After the pasta, there are two other dishes which I would recommend at this place, more on the meaty side this time. The Planche de L’Artisan (HKD 258) an artisan cheese and cold meat assortment, all truffle infused. I love Mortadella, I love it even more when it’s truffle infused! And the Tartare de Boeuf (HKD 168) with truffle shaving, a fresh and very meaty beef tartare which perfectly matches the unique texture and taste of shaved raw truffle.

After all, why indulging only when going out? Nothing like a cocooning night in to treat yourself to something yummy! I always make sure to have black truffle paste at home, it’s super easy to use and help you pimp a dinner in just a minute. Where to get it from? Either Plantin Kaviari  or Pacific Gourmet. 
 
My fav truffle comfort food recipe? Truffle Croque Monsieur. 
 
I have shared my Croque Monsieur recipe before (well Michelin-star Chef Jean-Pierre Vigato’s recipe to be more accurate), here, but sharing it again and adding a truffle twist to it. 
 
 
FOOD SHOPPING 
50cl of milk 
Sandwich loaf 
buy it from the bakery rather than from the supermarket … nothing worse than a so so bread if you ask me   
50g of butter 
100g of grated cheese
Again please put that supermarket cheese back on the shelf … we are going for an easy recipe yes but not for a cheap one. 
Ham  
Tuffle paste

TIME TO COOK 
Pour the milk in a shallow dish 
Quickly dip a slice of bread (just one side) in the milk, drain 
Spread the cheese on the side of the bread that you just dipped into the milk 
Add the ham 
Dip another slice of bread in the milk, drain and spread truffle paste before closing your Croque-Monsieur (always making sure that the milky side is inside)  
Once all your Croque-Monsieurs ready, put them in the fridge for at least 6h and up to 24h. Make sure to cover your plate, you don’t want those yummy things to be all dry! 
  
Ready to serve? 
Hop, a knob of butter in the pan and all you have to do is to glaze that Croque! 
  
Easy peasy!
