Aventure. A remarkable modern Chinese restaurant m Aventure. A remarkable modern Chinese restaurant making waves in the southern coastal city of Xiamen. Executive Chef Esther Hou and Tea Master Rita have poured their heritage and hearts into every aspect of Aventure. The cuisine is built on a foundation of Fujian ingredients and traditions, enhanced by the Esther’s Sichuan roots and fine dining training. Rita, who hails from Xiamen’s Gulangyu Island, brings her expertise in tea to the fray, sourcing leaves from across China, and innovating with temperature, infusions, and even the starchy water from boiling rice. The result is a creative dialogue between tradition and expression, delivered through a visually striking tasting menu. Highlights: Iconic Xiamen staples like shacha noodles, oyster omelets, and blood cockles appear on the menu, but with a 180-degree twist from their original street food forms. Esther’s roots show in a pig’s brain course, transforming the usually gritty texture into something smooth, much like foie gras, before being molded back into its brain form. A daring approach for a daring dish. She also spoke fondly of the five-spice pork roll, a complete reinvention of the fried street snack, making it with tuna toro, five spice, and buffalo mozzarella gelée. Another comforting standout was the fish congee, a dish that was simple and profound — a rich broth of yellowfin tuna, clams, fish maw, and Dalian rice, topped with delicate yellow croaker. On teas, it was one of the last that really stuck with me. A Sichuan-Tibet dark tea that had been combined with boiled rice water (like the top watery layer of congee). Is it a tea or a soup, now? Either way, the roasted tea aroma + velvety texture was great. Definitely the coolest tea pairing I’ve experienced. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ 🔘 Aventure. @aventure_amoy 📍 13-106 Xiahe Road 厦禾路13-106号 | Xiamen 厦门 📞 18144134025 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ #modernchinese #finedininglovers #chinafood #chefsofinstagram #finedining

Following the release of the latest Bangkok Michel Following the release of the latest Bangkok Michelin Guide, @restaurant_suhring was awarded three Michelin stars — making it one of only two restaurants in the city to receive the highest honor. I sat down with @thomas_suhring and @mathias_suhring talk about what that moment really means. Childhood memories and family traditions, playfulness on the plate and an ode to the German hunting season, their food tells a story that carries a deep sense of home. The Highlights: - Brathering - Pickled then pan-seared herring fish with kombu seaweed gel, chervil and horseradish cream. - Wildpastete, a dish that represents the hunting season in Germany. A work of art made with game meat of wild boar, dear, and pheasant, plus duck liver, lardo de Colonnata, black truffle, and Pistacchio. - Spatzle with Bavarian mountain cheese sauce, crispy onions, freshly shaved winter white truffles. - Butter poached turbot served with zucchini and summer squash, caviar, and clam, finished with seaweed-infused cream and vin jaune. - Brittany blue lobster in vanilla butter with lobster bisque, hazelnut oil, rutabaga ravioli & persimmon. Sühring is also No. 11 on the Asia’s 50 Best. #michelinguide #asias50best #bangkokfood #finedininglovers #chefsoninstagram
