Incredible evening. I went for the food but the performance was mesmerizing and the music was too. The service was some of the best I've ever experienced -- as soon as you get off the ferry lighter that takes you from the Mandarin Oriental here, you are greeted by name and treated like the most important person there. The staff knew the food well, and the Captain, she made sure everything was okay without being intrusive. The food was great -- I particularly liked the white fermented soybean relish fish, and the crab and squash dumplings were a revelation, who knew those tastes would go so well together? And the stir-fried lotus root in black garlic outstanding, simple and tasty and the texture was perfect! The chef came out and asked how everything was and wanted to know which dishes I liked best. His name was Jack and he seemed very young to be such a good cook. His English was superb because he served as a cook in Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh and Boise! So you Americans out there, you never know what prodigy is in the kitchen. I also very much liked the dessert, which were miniaturized Thai classics served in a dollhouse clear front highboy. The attentive staff further proved their worth in leaping forward to assist me before I could destroy it with my Brobdingnagian digits. So I came for the food, stayed for the performance, and all in all it was a full evening out that is worth the expense, and if you're staying at the Mandarin Oriental,...
