My first time actually dining out in TST's Knutsford Terrace which is like the LKF of Kowloon side with al fresco dining amid rows of restaurants/bars! I was here for a blogger gathering at Assembly which is a gastrobar resturant of the Prive Group similar to Common and focuses on a casual communal space for poeple to gather and relax. The food is more comforting tapas-styled shared plates with flavors inspired from around the world. We sat inside where the venue had a rustic chic to it with bla
I love a good cocktail so I had to try their new Drunken Boozesicles series where they teamed up with Nice Pops to create cocktails with alcoholic popsicles! The Crimson Sweet ($130) with Gin watermelon liquer, fresh citrus juice, homemade rosemary syrup and watermelon martini pop was very lovely to drink with a sweet fruity flavor.
The Young & Beautiful ($140) with vodka, fresh mango juice, ginger root, citrus juice, mango syrup and mango sensation pop was amazing as it had a hint of spiciness from the ginger root.
The Rucola Salad ($98) with rocket, Parma ham, Parmesan cheese, fresh figs and strawberries and Cold Cut Platter ($138) with Parma ham, spicy salami, mortadella, cooked ham, red pepper with cheese, prunes, apricots and almonds were nice appetizers to start off with.
The Tempura Tiger Shrimp ($98) with tangy tartar sauce was easy to eat by grabbing its tail but while the shrimp tasted delicious, I found the tempura batter to be a bit thick and not crispy enough.
The Lobster Bites ($128) which was seasoned with lemon juice, paprika, tomato, iceberg lettuce tasted amazing! I missed my lobster rolls from the east coast and this was pretty good quality for the price.
The Tagliatelle with Mussels ($138) with creamy dill sauce was a bit dry for me while the mussels turned out great though.
The 8" Cajun Chicken Pizza ($128) with spicy romesco sauce, cherry tomato and cilantro arrived sizzling hot and it was a solid pizza with melting cheese and spicy sauces. The crust was the hard and crunchy kind so it was more like a pita bread than a New York style.
When it came to dessert time, we all looked at each other and decided through non-verbal cues that we were definitely going to get desserts even though we were full! The Cryo-Fried Vanilla Ice Cream ($95) with flaming brandy and raspberry saucet turned out to be quite a show as the brandy was poured over the ice cream and lit up in front of us. I'm not sure if it was because we took a long time to eat it but the exterior wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be but that ice cream was sure huge enough to be shared among friends!
The Chocolate Pudding ($88) with vanilla ice cream was my favorite out of the two desserts with a melting chocolate interior which was rich and warming. A great way to end the meal!
