The jellyfish had a fantastic crunch and a piquant, spicy flavour and I loved the strawberryвЂ™s refreshing taste that accompanied it. The jellyfish with broad bean was amazing. I canвЂ™t say that IвЂ™m a connoisseur of sea cucumber but this course was very good and I could see why itвЂ™s a sought-after dish. The Special Main Course was Chef DongвЂ™s braised sea cucumber.

We all agreed that a full sized serving of this soup would be too much, so IвЂ™m glad it was only a small taster. It came in a little cup and looked like a peppery cappuccino! The squid was soft and was fun to slurp. Again, the presentation was gorgeous and for some reason evoked images of freshly mown grass!ДЇoamed squid egg soup doesnвЂ™t sound great but when it came, I found it to be lovingly prepared and surprisingly rich. The bean curd with Chinese toon had a startlingly fresh vegetable taste with a hint of a fermented chou doufu taste.

My favourite starter of the night by far. The foie gras was incredibly smooth and creamy and it went so well with the sweet lotus root. The lotus root with foie gras was amazing. I loved the presentation вЂ“ it arrived chilled in an ice bowl that melted as you ate. The Geo Duck was slightly spicy from the Sichuan pepper, but not overwhelmingly so and it had a crisp texture. We were treated to three cold appetizers to start: sliced Canadian geo duck clam with Sichuan pepper, lotus root with osmanthus and foie gras, and bean curd with Chinese toon. And it was worth the wait!Д®xecutive Chef Shi Xiu-song (зџіз§Ђжќѕ) and Master of Roast Duck Zhang Hua-bing (ејµиЏЇе…µ), prepared an amazing nine-course dinner, which included their award-winning вЂњSuper LeanвЂќ roast duck that apparently has only half of the fat content of a conventional roast duck. IвЂ™d been trying to sink my teeth into their duck since February last year but the Food Gods decided I had to wait until now. The famous Bejing Da Dong Roast Duck Restaurant is back at Man Wah at The Mandarin Oriental for a special promotion period (14-22 April) and last month, the Mandarin Oriental organised a fun dinner for a few of us foodies to sample a some of their signature dishes ahead of their menuвЂ™s launch.
