Weekday Escape to Macau - Robuchon au Dôme

Fine dining with friends is a good way to enjoy life. This time, my friend picked Robuchon au Dome, a 3-Michelin-starred restaurant to pamper ourselves.

The renowned crystal light chandelier beautifully cascading from the dome creates an elegant ambience.























Welcome appetizer. The right one contained tomato and tasted slightly sour. But I forgot what the left one like.
















A big basket of delicious bread. Pity that I couldn't tried all as there's a rich dinner ahead.
















Cherry gazpacho with frozen ricotta and pistachio flakes
This cold soup with cherry and ricotta was refreshing and the slightly sour flavor brought us good appetite. Simply like it.














  

Mille-feuille of tomato with crabmeat
The sour flavor was too similar to the L’Amuse-bouche though the major ingredient was tomato rather than cherry. It's a good dish and the baby tomatoes on the side were fresh and sweet anyway.
















Steamed foie gras and root vegetables wrapped in green cabbage, warm truffle emulsion
A very beautifully presented dish. Pity it didn't taste as good as it looked because the bitterness of the radish ruin the whole dish.
















Roasted turbot, confit shallots condiment and lettuce velouté with lemon vinegar emulsion
The fish was perfectly cooked in terms of texture and taste. And it matched well with the lemon vinegar emulsion. It's my number 2 of the entire dinner.
















Racan pigeon, confit leg, green peas, spring onion and country bacon ‘ragoût
This dish is was French! All its ingredients made me recall the memory of my French trip. The tender and tasteful pigeon plus fresh green peas and silky mashed potato created my favorite dish of the night. I felt content after having this and the previous dishes.















Peach “Melba” on light raspberry jelly with vanilla cream and sherbet
This dessert was delicious and pretty. Yet, it's also sour in taste. 
































Dessert trolley time. It's difficult to choose what to have as the restaurant is famous for its dessert. Lucky the waiter and waitress were so generous to allow us to taste many of their signature dishes. I felt like we were having dessert buffet.

The floating island is my top recommendation as not many restaurants serve this traditional French dessert now. The silky egg white was unforgettable.
















Also, you shouldn't miss its super crispy mille feuille and lemon tart. Other desserts were yummy as well.













































Our choices of petit four which were also good in taste.
















This lemon cake was a compliment. Nevertheless, it's super yummy.












Overall, the food was delicious but too many dishes were sour in taste which made the entire dinner lack of variation.

The staff were very responsive to my online booking request and enquiries. During the dinner, they were very attentive and friendly,  which brought my friend and me a very enjoyable dining experience.

Last but not the least, here's the magnificent view of Macau from the restaurant.
