Hong Kong restaurant week has started once again in early August, which provided a great chance for people to try out different restaurants and cuisines. Zeffrino has provided a mouthwatering menu and has been on my wishlist ever since the launch of the restaurant week. Its menu is among one of the most generous one in terms of variety and portion and will defintiely give a good and satisfying weekend treat.Soup:The quality of the soup was generally high; the soup was rich and smooth, with the s
The quality of the soup was generally high; the soup was rich and smooth, with the sweet pumpkin complimented by the little tingling of the ginger. The only downside is that serving ginger during this hot summer weather probably isn’t a very good idea. The soup itself was already hot, and together with the ginger, everyone was overly warm after the first course. First main course:
This is actually my first time trying the gnocchi, which has lead to my great disappointment. The dish was rather tasteless, despite the addition of gorgonzola; the chopped walnuts did add a crunch to the dish, but some of the walnuts lacked the crunchiness; the dough was also so soft that they resembles children’s play-doughs. In addition, the portion of the pasta is too large. Even my dad can hardly finish the whole dish. Second main course:
The sea bass was really good, well-seasoned with a crumbly side. The meat was not overly dry and had a great texture. The sautéed spinach was a bit salty and was soaked with oil. Dessert:
Two tiny scoops of sorbet decorated with fresh blueberries. This icy treat is perfect after a filling meal as such. Lime juice and crushed basil leaves were added into the sorbet, making it a delightful, flavourful and refreshing treat that satisfies every taste bud. Be sure to finish it quickly as the sorbet melts really quickly. The foam was exptremely dense and milky, and the coffee was rich and aromatic. It's been a long time since I had a cup of cappuccino this good. Way better than the ones from the green labelled coffee shop.
The view and environment here was absolutely great. Although some maintanance needs to be made to the worn out furnitures, the setting of the restaurant has its own elegance and charm, and is surely an ideal place for a romantic celebration.
