I had a lunch at Petrus with a free gift coupon. I didn't have to pay out of my pocket. That's why I guess I can review my experience from a more detached stance than could those who paid on their own. In terms of decoration, service and the manner in which the food was presented, Petrus was really high class but in fact its food did not significantly impress me. Expatriate captains, customers who spoke 90% Cantonese with 10% English (words), the panoramic view over the Victoria Harbour and the extravagance of the interior design altogether created a sense of pride for eating in such restaurant.
The food was not particularly surprising me, though. I ordered Foi Gras de Canard (duck liver paste) as the appetizer. It was fine. Normal taste of duck foi gras paste. What was really special instead were the three tiny jelly cubes that decorated the dish. These cubes were transparent and with a lemon taste. Fragments of gold foil were mixed in the cubes. And a small triangular slice of cucumber was placed on each cube. These three cubes freshened the mouth after eating the creamy duck foi gras paste.
Also, the bread was edible but its seaweed butter was even better. My soup was bean soup. A paste of fresh cream in the middle of the soup. Nothing special.
My main course was chicken breast. The chicken per se was not special. However, the most rewarding part of this chicken breast was the sauce. The sauce was made up of truffle. It drew out the chicken taste and transformed into something that I could regard as delicious.
The home-made ice cream and the dessert were not impressive to me. That's why I can hardly recall how they looked like or what they tasted. The chocolate and candies that followed the dessert were nothing special to me, either. White or red wine and a cup of tea or coffee were included. But, the mineral water was not free (around HK$100 per bottle). The lunch was originally more than HK$650 each, not including the surcharge and tip.
