This is your first time cooking in Asia\u2014what struck you most about the local food scene?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sheer energy of it! Hong Kong\u2019s culinary landscape is fast-paced, diverse, and endlessly creative. The fusion of cultures and cooking styles makes it one of the most exciting food capitals in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-7-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-7-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-7-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-7-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-7.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ve been cooking at Clarence for a few months now. How has the response been?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re thrilled with how diners have embraced our approach. The blend of classic French techniques with an Asian twist seems to resonate well, and that enthusiasm motivates us to keep pushing boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any regional ingredient you instantly fell in love with?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hokkaido sea urchin\u2014it\u2019s exceptional. The texture and flavour are so delicate, yet it has a depth that sets it apart from the ones I worked with in France. It\u2019s a pleasure to incorporate it into our dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-4-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-4-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-4-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-4-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-4-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-4.jpeg 1067w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you had to pick one dish that best represents you, what would it be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pithiviers. It\u2019s a classic French dish <em>(similar to a pie, usually filled with chunky meat or vegetables and encased in puff pastry)<\/em>. I love reinterpreting it with a modern touch. The magic happens when you pair it with a bold sauce\u2014it adds personality and complexity, much like how I approach cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ve worked in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe. How does the vibe compare in Hong Kong?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s surprisingly calm! There\u2019s a quiet focus in the kitchen that allows creativity to flourish. It\u2019s a different energy from the usual high-intensity buzz, and I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-10-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-10-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-10-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-10-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-10-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-10.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clarence\u2019s menu is all about customisation. If you were dining in as a guest, what would your perfect meal look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d start with Scallop Carpaccio drizzled with an egg yolk condiment, then move on to Gambero Rosso with a rich shrimp head sauce and a hint of red curry. Next, our reimagined Yunnan Poached Egg, Meurette and Snails Cooked in Pot, Butter Maitre D\u2019Hotel &amp; Croutons, followed by my signature Pithiviers. And for dessert? Something fresh\u2014mango and passion fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Beef Tartare in Bone Marrow is quite the showstopper. What inspired it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It started as a classic, but I wanted to elevate it. We gently cook the marrow under a salamander and serve it in the bone for both flavour and visual impact. It\u2019s indulgent yet refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-3-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-3-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-3-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-3.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s next for Clarence? Any exciting additions to the menu?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring is coming, and I love working with seasonal produce. Expect to see asparagus, peas, and red fruits making an appearance soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When you\u2019re not in the kitchen, how do you like to spend your time in Hong Kong?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I love nature, so whenever I get the chance, my wife, daughter, and I explore the city\u2019s beaches and hiking trails. And of course, we always stop for some local eats along the way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-2-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-2-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-2-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Clarence-2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For someone who\u2019s never dined at Clarence before, how would you describe the experience in three words?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creative. Elegant. Unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And finally, what\u2019s your ultimate guilty pleasure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hazelnut chocolate\u2014no contest. That nutty, toasted flavour paired with silky, velvety chocolate is pure indulgence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diners at Clarence can tailor their dining experience for $698 per person, with a seasonally evolving menu that highlights the freshest ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This spring, Clarence unveils an expanded dinner menu by Chef Christophe Schmitt, featuring an array of new seasonal dishes.
