This is a quick plug for The Peninsula Manila who has brought in David Goodridge, Chef de Cuisine of the venerable Gaddi’s Restaurant at The Peninsula Hong Kong. Mr. Goodridge is participating in a food festival from September 14-22nd at The Old Manila Restaurant and will apparently be giving a cooking class on Saturday, the 22nd of September. Please contact The Peninsula Manila directly for details if you are interested. I believe I have only eaten at Gaddi’s on one occassion, a business lunch in a previous life. But I have had high tea in the lobby of The Peninsula Hong Kong on several memorable occasions… I was also once invited to a “private apartment” (many eons ago) within the hotel that was utterly fabulous; it was for a quasi job interview with a very powerful firm and it didn’t work out; but that’s okay, I was impressed by the apartment and the view of the harbor! :)

i had dinner there last week and had the degustation. the first few courses were very good – green pea cappuccino, oyster tartar, beef cheeks raviolo. Yumm! but i wasn’t quite satisfied with the red mullet with filled baby squid (bit ordinary) and the Bresse pigeon. Oh well. Maybe its just me =)The ala carte menu looks quite good too.
I adore very much The Peninsula Hong Kong kind of pricey but beautiful. I love all Peninsula Hotels.
