Hong Kong: Mandarin Oriental In-Room Dining Fish & Chips

Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong In Room Dining - HungryEpicurean - Singapore Food Blog

Continuing on from posts of my recent trip to Hong Kong, is a review of Chinnery’s Fish and Chips, served in-room.

Just the day earlier, I had an excellent weekend wine brunch at 2 Michelin Starred Amber at the nearby Landmark Mandarin Oriental. Feeling the effects of the alcohol, I decided to eat in.

The Deep Fried Battered Pollock was good, it was not excellent, but good enough! I was surprised that, even the time it took for them to send the meal to me, the batter remained crispy. I was pretty sure that beer was used in this batter – it had a hint of beer in it.

I too was happy to see that the fish was not too oily, which probably helped the fish to retain its crispyness too.

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong In Room Dining

In Room Dining at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

My Cathay Pacific flight (P.S. they served one of the worst omelettes unfortunately) touched down at the Hong Kong International Airport at 12pm exactly; I was starving by the time that I reached the hotel and completed all the necessary check-in procedures.

Really, that meant only one thing – it was lunch time. I needed to unpack and reply a few important emails; so I did the unthinkable: Order In-Room Dining.

On hindsight, what was I thinking – Ordering in-room dining service on an overseas trip, in Hong Kong no less. By the way, it is times like these when those daily hotel credits come into play!

Thankfully, what I had ordered did not disappoint!

Hotel: Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

Hotel Review: Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong - HungryEpicurean

Last month, I had the opportunity to escape the sweltering heat of Singapore for a short work cum leisure trip to Hong Kong! Fine, I shall delude myself no further for it was frankly not much of an escape. Hong Kong was equally as hot as Singapore for the period that I was there.

This marked my second visit to Hong Kong and having stayed in Kowloon on my previous visit (P.s. I stayed at  Hotel Panaroma – which I highly recommend as well), I stayed at the vernerable Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong this time around. Most of my meetings that I had planned to attend were scheduled to be held somewhere in the Central area, which made Mandarin Oriental the most obvious choice.

Now for the foodie in me, a 2 minute walk to the Central MTR station proved to be very much useful, especially on days that I had (rather, wanted) to travel out of the Central area in the hunt for local delicacies.

Read on to see my thoughts and photographs of my stay. Read more
