聖誕節一行五人食個聖誕午餐(set menu). 6 course meal: 2 appetisers, 2 pasta, 1 main and 1 dessert.,餐廳環境非常舒適寬躺,出自於Andre Fu的設計。Top notch的服務態度。亦非常滿意食物質素,我們三人加$380 per head食牛扒Beef tenderloin,其餘食魚不用加錢。牛扒煎得恰到好處,外脆鎖住肉汁,非常美味。聖誕節比平時貴了大約30%已是意料之內,整體是物有所值😋。

We were welcomed by four autumn canepes to start the meal. I love the parmesan pumpkin cream a lot. It was like an ultra thick and creamy pumpkin soup🎃 The extra spice on top added much seasonality and warm to the evening. The anchovy tartlet and one burrata burger were your best party snack. It was ended with a glass of hot clarified minestrone which was so good that we needed a refill!

The bread basket alone was already impressive. Adding the 4 different olive oil? It’s completely another level. The breads were olive facaccia, rye sourdough, taralli and fennel pollen cracker. Sourdough is of course my favourite but the taralli is very interesting too. The texture was crunchy and fluffy but it was achieved by lard! What an interesting experience! One more round for both please😝

The extra virgin olive oil are from four different regions, light to strong. It was like an olive oil tasting and this experience allowed me to have more in-depth understanding of the flavour complexity olive oil can be. Personally love the lighter side for its more vibrant fresh grassy notes🌿

Or should this dish be called caviar instead🤔 I mean look at that lavish bed of Kristal caviar🤩 Underneath was coral panna cotta with chops of red prawn. It was an absolute delight that set the tone of the night. The oceanic salinity from the caviar was tamed by the panna cotta while the red prawn added final sweetness to finish. A truly delicate dish!

This combo was very Napoleon. I could not picture turnip with langoustine before but it was quite good surprisingly. The nutty almond and tangy caper compliment the savoury prawn. The final touch of turnip’s lightness and bitterness was brilliant👏🏼 The langoustine was perfectly executed in semi-cooked texture. And their plates really worth a mention. All are hand made with slight differences that add warm human element.

A perfectly seamed fish with crispy skin and flaky meat. The sauce was the actual highlight. It’s like romesco but with rockfish essence. Rockfish is a kind of sweet and umami packed fish. It added more layers to the fish🤤 The romanesco broccoli two ways were very nice sides too!

The innovative signature here. They just changed to this seasonal green button🟢not very long ago when I visited. So I was very surprised to see a green one instead of orange. The bursting texture was the most exciting part here. The turnip filling bursted on the thinner and softer bottom side while the top side stayed chewy and al dente. Just amazing🤩 In terms of flavour, it was full of friarielli flavour with subtle umami from the mussel. A simple but delicious homey pasta.

This one was a nice concept but it was executed badly😟The gnocchi had a nice chewy taste, like those in bubble tea while the honey peas were perfect. But the ink sauce was somehow underwhelming and too oily. More salinity would definitely bring out more flavours to the dish.

I guess I just had my favourite pasta in life😍 Ragu has always been my favourite sauce for pasta. The deliciousness was just beyond word could describe. The onion chop was full of beef and tomato flavour but its unique sweetness still shined along all the strong flavours. Just a bomb🤯 The mafalde supplied by @pastagentile was in a perfect al dente status that I could not resist. It was just flawless. The pasta ended with an incredibly delicious bite of the short rib with its concentrated jus. I just need one more sourdough for scarpata😆

This pigeon was the most tender one I have ever eaten🤯 Its like a slightly chewy tuna. Look at the photo and you will know what I mean. The hazelnut was aromatic and I love its nutty flavour added to the little gamey pigeon. But the cabbage was a bit overcooked for my liking.

A very refreshing dessert with nice balance especially after so many pastas. The citrus mandarin went smoothly with the ricotta on top. The dessert disappeared all in a sudden since I could not help but scoop after scoop😋

The unlimited pistachio gelato totally stole the show😍 It was in dark green indicating its roasting flavour. It was definitely the most aromatic and richest version I have ever tried. The unlimited refill was just irresistible. It included trio of sweet bite and the Panna cotta was a delicacy that could be a dessert alone! The cannoli and were decent too! Just as the name suggested, a happy sweet ending☺️

A cup of mandatory coffee after Italian meal. I just love the plate and the glass. It’s the finest Italian meal experience!

With Antimo’s great track record, it is without a doubt that Estro would claim a star very soon. And this visit just showed me the consistency and ability. Look forward to my next visit after the star revelation to add more star (or stars?) to my collection😆

OVERALL: an incredible space w/ gorgeous interior design for an intimate meal & service definitely stands out (in a good way), short and long menu available w/ a difference of two dishes 

DISHES:
🦐red prawn - red prawn tartare with panna cotta topped with Kristal caviar, this three layer starter sends pure goodness along your taste buds

🧀buttons - ravioli stuffed w/ parmigiana cooked in tomato sauce, tastes less saucey than it looks, signature dish here at Estro & look how cute these buttons are!

🐙ink gnocchi - generous amount of gnocchi w/ ink sauce, loved that theres a hint of spiciness to this dish and sweet peas added a lot of texture

🍫hazelnut rocher - ferrero rocher size: L, tastes like the italian confectionery but with more crunch and creaminess , perfect way to end the meal

You can never, I repeat, never, go wrong with truffle HAHAHAHAHAH

But before that, we got the signature Buttons, filled eith Parmigiana, tomato and basil, it was soooo intense. Each button was a flavour bomb and my god, I can't express how much I loved it and I think it can totally rival the truffle fettuccine.

Last but not least was the ink gnocchi. It came in such a generous portion I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish it. But the combination of squid ink, snow peas and chili was so enticing that the wholee bowl was gone before I really registered how much I was eating hahaha. The chili definitely helped and the texture of the gnocchi was chewier than the ones I had before, just before mochi chewy. MUCH LOVE.

Final part of the dinner experience, the last main and the trinity of desserts. DAMN THOSE DESSERTS WERE GOOD.

I chose the pigeon as a cover photo to give my posts some sort of chrobological order that aligns with the meal, and it's a pretty nice photo by my standards, BUT, what I really want to talk is DESSERT.

The mandarin ricotta dessert on an almond tart was so refreshing, and the presentation was so delicate and pretty. Can't go wrong with a good piping! And next, what everyone is talking about, the pistachio gelato. Bro legit, it was the most intense gelato I've had. It was literally liquefied pistachio, and the roasted saltiness really came throigh. Apparently there are meant to be unlimited refills, but I was wayy to full at that point. The petite fours were classic italian desserts, like that mini cannoli and the fig tart alongside a milk pudding. Honestly, there was no better way to end the meal.

One of my most anticipated meals of the year is at @estro.hk, and this going to be part 1 of many parts to give all the great dishes the spotlight they deserve. Also this was the first meal wherey pprtable light from taobao was finally put to use, so everything is nright and clear!

We started off with scanning the menu on the other side of a coin. Verdict went to the 8 course long menu ($1,980) so things got rollings. Amuse bouche was a pumpkin mousse with a spinach minibun and bitter vegetables tart. First course was the red prawn coral 'panna cotta' with a thick layer of kristal caviar on top. Im super prpud of this video and that scoop. The dish was not as intense of as other similar versions, likely LEnvol, but I could finish the whole thing without feeling like it was too much so this version would be my pick of a caviar blanket dish.

Part two of our amazing dinner at @estro.hk and here's everything we had before the pasta courseS, emphasis on the 's'!

The Icelandic langoustine was so bomb, and the sauce with capers and turnups was heavenly. It was such a nice compliment to the fresh crustacean, and the presentation was also visually pleasing. I didn't take a photo of tge whole dish but the plate itself reminded me of a cross-section of a scallop, so WOAH that's like seafood inception.

Of course the meal wouldn't do without a fish course, so there's the seabass with rockfish essence. More importantly, there's the bread basket. A refillable, plentiful and admirable bread basket with four types of bread for you to choose from, a sourdough, a focaccia, cripsy fennel thins and round biscuits.

Whether a restaurant is good or worthy or trying is not just about food. The entire experience of a meal also include service! Service covers a very broad spectrum, from how attentive the servers are to cleanliness of the toilets or helpfulness of he receptionist, etc. It all begins with reservation. This restaurant fails at the very beginning. Back in Sept, I tried to make a lunch reservation for 6 Nov (which was a Saturday), the reservation system came up with a slightly different time slot, so I took it and filled out my credit card details and completed my reservation. When I received the reservation confirmation through email moments later, it turned out to be a weekday. So I immediately cancelled the reservation. I thought it should be fine.

Days later, I checked my credit card account and found out my credit card account was debited for $819. I was shocked! I totally understand the need for providing credit card details when making reservations especially for the high end restaurants because some irresponsible people do not show up or cancel their reservations. Most other restaurants only hold up limits in the credit card and would not actually charge the card unless customer does not show up. Those other restaurants that actually debited the credit card will arrange refund as soon as you cancel the reservation before the deadline. 

1. I canceled my reservation just minutes after I received the confirmation, yet they proceed to charge my card.  
2. This restaurant refuses to communicate with customer as they do not have a land line for you to call. Just a mobile number that links to a WhatsApp account.  Do they have any basic sense about service? 
3. It's almost 2 months by now, there was no sign of refund yet.  
4. I talked to the credit card issuing bank more than a month ago, they said they would follow up but it seemed nothing was done so far except crediting back my account a few days ago. My complaint was not just getting my money back but to find out how this happened. How can a restaurant be so irresponsible!

Years ago I visited a new Italian restaurant operated by a Michelin-starred Italian chef. The food wasn't good, service was poor and discriminative. I predicted that restaurant would not last for more than 3 years and it became reality. 

No matter how good the food is, if service is bad no one is going to go back! Hong Kong is not lack off high end Italian restaurants. One can easily name a few opened in the last couple of months. Consumers have a lot of options. I have blacklisted this restaurant already before visiting.

Estro的意思是The Inspiration, 這倒令我想起他在去澳門之前, 和Philippe Léveillé合作, 位於灣仔的l'altro, 意譯是The Other, 有一脈相通, 將自己創新及非傳統, 屬於自己的意式風味帶出來的感覺. Chef Merone厲害之處, 是將平時我們在餐碟上忽略的角色, 用他的巧手成為主角, 特別欣賞圖六的頭盤冰島龍蝦的配菜——椰菜花, 他將其以三種方式表達, 分別是焦糖煎, 打成蓉以及和杏仁烹煮成汁, 完全去除草腥味之餘也突出其甜香, 冰島龍蝦的爽彈鮮甜正好配合椰菜花三味的口感和味道. 另一道頭盤是圖四的鰹魚, 配料配搭同樣一絕, 以酸豆, 水牛芝士以及橄欖結合出酸香滑溜的味道和口感, 與鰹魚的濃味和挺實也是相映成趣.

Pasta類的Gnocchi外表如珍珠奶茶的珍珠, 是加上墨汁的後果, 口感軟融而咸香味濃, 加上墨魚粒及青豆, 後者爽脆的口感與Gnoochi對比度高, 墨魚粒鮮香而青豆沒草腥味. 另一道Pasta名為Vesuvio, 也就是Chef Merone家鄉南意的名山——維蘇威火山, 用上螺絲粉和熱拿亞醬, 也就是意式洋蔥醬, 味道濃香而帶焦糖甜味, 配上Short Ribs肉粒更能突顯其肉香, 螺絲粉除了掛汁能力強, 更重要是其Al Dente真的做到意大利正宗風味, 也就是外爽而麵芯挺實, 沒有因為香港人口味而加以調整, 反而這道是Chef Merone給香港食客最傳統的南意菜式.

主菜的Tenderloin外脆而肉香濃烈, 肉芯口感嫩滑, 用上意大利的杏鮑菇作配菜, 再加上蘑菇而成的沙巴翁, 秋天濃厚的菇香提升了牛肉的肉香. 以沙巴用這種意式甜品的做法當然沒有甜味, 而是取其濃稠的質感當成醬汁, 外表平實內裡卻帶低調的創意. 甜品同樣可喜, 名為金莎, 真的是放大版的金莎朱古力, 連外面的脆皮味道也甚相似, 內裡的榛子雪芭取代了榛子醬, 其堅果香氣和順滑口感當然是正版不能媲美的. 完成今餐之後, 本想立即預訂和女友一起品嚐, 但是真的”門也沒有”呢! (苦笑)
