Restaurant review: Tycoon Tann tempts diners to spend like one
Luxury dishes tempt diners to spend more, but the quality is a little patchy
The Tycoon Tann menu can be off-putting — some dishes seem like a blatant ploy to get as much money as possible from diners. Peking duck can be ordered with caviar, or with foie gras mousse and gold leaf, while several dishes feature black truffles.
There was also an unsubtle attempt to make us order drinks: we were refused cold tap water, and when we asked for ice to put in our hot water, were told they didn't have any, even though the restaurant has a bar on the ground floor. But our waiter did point out when we'd ordered enough food, and didn't try to steer us to the expensive dishes.
Tycoon Tann, 74 Wellington Street, Central, tel: 3125 3228. About HK$600 without drinks or service charge
