Above and Beyond

As an anniversary treat, we booked a table at Above and Beyond, the fancy Cantonese restaurant on the 28th floor of our hotel (review here). The decor was done by designer Terence Conran and there are 360 degree views of Hong Kong. David had let them know that it was our wedding anniversary, so they gave us one of the best tables and lots of attention all night. It was a really wonderful, memorable night:

Aperitifs...trying to work out the chopstick etiquette

View from our table (Hong Kong Harbour) 

Sichuan duck tongue in a wild mushroom marinade. The waiter asked if we were sure (David gets asked that a lot as he's an adventurous eater). 

Duck tongue paired with a glass of pouilly fume

Rain starting to blot the view. Champagne rose going down nicely though.

Beef and crabmeat soup

Crab with yellow croaker fish soup

Where's the view gone?

Panfried chicken in lemon

Wok fried pigeon and Yunnan cured ham with mushrooms. Asparagus in garlic.

Cake from the staff.... and the view is back!

Cake, card and some chopsticks each (bound together symbolically, how sweet).
I didn't have the heart to tell them that I'm not Mrs. McLoughlin. And David is "Dr."
Free cake is free cake.

Pot of Dragon Well for me and pot of 20 year old Yunnan Pu-er for David
