A food thread...
If there is one thing that I love nearly as much as watches, it is definitely good food. Now, judging by past posts I've seen on the Time Out sub forum, several other Purists share my sentiments!

Anyway, why not have a dedicated food thread, for all the wonderful and interesting meals you've had, and were lucky enough to capture on film. I'll start.
The following photos are from my birthday weekend in HK last week:
Restaurant: Cafe Grey Deluxe @ The Upper House
Just a few shots of the wonderful breakfast
Scrambled eggs en brioche topped with salmon roe and caviar
Ha kao and Sio mai (Prawn and pork dumplings)
The most amazing waffle I've ever tasted in my life, topped with creme fresh, berry compote and light drizzled in caramel
French toast made from panettone, crusted in oatmeal and cornflakes, topped with creme fresh, berry compote and ground pistachios
Restaurant: Morton's of Chicago
The beauty, and the (menu of) meat
Lobster Bisque with a surprise who claw in there!
Lobster cocktail, very Americana tasting haha!
Mixed vegetable salad with a blue cheese dressing
And surely one cannot forget the prime rib! Cooked medium rare, absolute perfection...
Of course, they had to pull out the birthday sundae on me...
A shot of my family... can you guess which one is me :p
Restaurant: L'atelier Joel Robuchon
The cornucopia of breads
The Amuse Bouche, Cream of corn soup with white truffle foam, and fried purple potato stuffed with chorizo
Mixed green salad, with king crab leg, burrata, toasted parmesan cheese and a light vinaigrette. This one was wonderfully rich thanks to the burrata!
This was was absolutely amazing. Lobster and langoustine stuffed ravioli, drizzled with foie gras sauce, topped with shaved black truffles, and sour cabbage.
Lets just get a better look at that...
Chef Robuchons interpretation of a creme of cauliflower soup, with a soft poached egg, jabugo ham, and truffle oil.
Sea bass with a lemon grass and ginger sauce, asparagus foam, and whole white asparagus.
A beautifully presented seared cod, marinated in miso and mirin.
An unconventional, yet delightful combination in this dish. Spaghetti Alfredo with spinach, a poached egg, and uni (sea urchin)!
The richness of the uni beautifully complimented the heavy cream, and added a nice, almost sweet taste to the mix
Fowl done two ways. Seared duck breast paired with fresh foie gras in a raspberry balsamic reduction.
A nice little touch to end the dinner. A sugar ball containing a raspberry mouse. It looked more a christmas ornament if you ask me! Although, true "haute" cuisine!
Food porn rocks doesn't it? 
Post your food shots!
Best,
Enrique
PS:
When hung over, it's always such a pleasure to wake up to eggs benedict
Cheers boys!
Wow you sure know how to do it in style mate!
And as for the table shot, you are the guy at the very end am i right!?
Cheers and thanks for sharing, you'v already seen my thread!
Stephen
Right and right!
That is in fact me :p And what can I say, as I said in the OP, if there is one thing that I am as passionate about in life besides watches, it's food!
Enrique
The French toast panettone... OMG!
Of course, the rest of all the fare was visually stunning (and most assuredly tasted the same).
Never get tired of food shots when it's like this.
I'd definitely go with..
... probably the best french toast I've ever tried. Using panettone was just genius! 
Happy belated Birthday!
and what a great way to celebrate it! Joel Rubochon in HK gets consistently high recommendations so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Gotta admit that the French toast panettone and the waffle sounds absolutely delicious!
Did you get a chance to go up Victoria Peak? Views up there is spectacular.

L’atelier Joel Robuchon and Cafe Gray ...
... make great backdrops for watch photos. :-p
But I clearly need to get a watch shot at Morton’s of Chicago!
Thanks for the great restaurant visits, which I always enjoy.
And Happy Birthday!
Andrew
Happy Birthday...
Happy Birthday again, following after the Lange thread...
A tremendous meal. I don't know what my birthday is going to look like, but I hope it doesn't look that good... I don't want to remember my birthday too well!
Wishing you all the best, may you grow each year.
Really looking forward to meeting another foodie like you in person too. I unfortunately like good food and wine too much.
Nice celebration!
There's no better excuse for awesome food than celebrating a birthday! Belated Happy Birthday Enrique!
You've got some really nice food adventures! HK, Singapore and Japan have some of the best places for food in Asia and you surely know where to go
If you head to Australia, we have some nice restaurants Down Under too!
Thanks buddy!
Oh believe me, I'm well aware of the amazing food in Australia! Although I've only been to the major hubs ie Sydney and Melbourrne. A dear friend actually works in Pier, so I had the pleasure of eating there and I must say that I utterly enjoyed tha meal I'll shoot you a PM next time I'm down under!
I'll shoot you a PM next time I'm down under!
Oh Pier! That's really nice!
Yes you're more than welcome to send me a PM if you head to Sydney!
We already have a site devoted to food
Dear Enriguf:
Check out The PuristS site which can be accessed from both the Community and Off Topic link on the Purist Pro home page and directly at www.thepurists.com . There you will find fora called "Wine, Food and Other Epicurian Delights" as well as "Automobiles", "Photography and Camera Equipment", "Belles Lettres", "Travel" and other subjects also addressed in this Time Out forum. I, personally, would rather see greater use of those specific fora with Time Out reserved for those subjects not covered elsewhere.
That is just my two cents.
Keep smiling
Harv
I, for one, would like to see that forum migrated to the main site...
It was great to see Automotive brought over. Food next?
Great food for a birthday treat
Nice pics, the dishes all looked delicious. Thanks for sharing and Happy Belated Birthday.
