Gold, Hong Kong

Gold, despite all the fuss and fanfair, was very average on the food front. We were hosted for a work dinner, with around 50 people, and the venue suited beautifully. With an outdoor terrace and smooth chocoloate interiors, it was a great place for a function.

However, in short, I can only say that the vegetarian menu prepared was simple, but resoundingly un-special. An heirloom tomato salad was fresh and uncomplicated, and a pesto pasta was fine, but a baked mushroom was desheviled and unseasoned. I'm rarely so harsh, really!

The desert was served with smoke - all show and little flavour. We had a great evening none the less. Perhaps Gold is better for regular a la carte dining and not functions.
