Food: First off, I'm going to say that Hong Kong has seen it's fair share of trendy, hip, and hot spots open around the west side of the island. while some are great and ingenious, Stack sets itself apart by having an absolutely perfect product.
Stack serves up an all new way to eat pancake. fact is, whoever said it needs to be eaten sweet with maple syrup?
Each of five savory dishes are blended with a mixture of sauces that you never knew were that good together. I particularly liked Pearl: a Scallop ikura pancake topped with a might wasabi infused sauce. I ordered another serving after finishing each first dish, naturally. the 12H78C pork was impressive. stands for 12 hours in 78 degrees C. The pulled pork looked very good and popular, unfortunately my stomach had no more space to try after I ordered two servings of everything. bottom line, try everything. Each of your taste buds will light up with the fusion flavors dabbled in. The pancake becomes just a medium on which to present the art.
Now onto the sweet ones. order the maple syrup. not all the pancakes deviate from the original. but this original will take you to the moon, cuz it's completely unlike any other syrup pancake you've ever had. it's as smooth as, well, the syrup that it rests on. in between the layers (probably stacks is more apt) is yet another sauce that just complicates things in a really good way.
I forget to mention that each pancake goes with a unique mixed drink you've never had before. I was fine just having the food, so can't comment on the drinks.
Service: the staff is friendly and enthusiastic. very professionally telling you and introducing the food. very good wait staff. I got a chance to shake hands with the proprietor, Josh. he told me he takes his inspiration from various US, Latin American and Asian influences. The only place I'd take away few points is the chocolate pancake took a half hour to serve, but hey, if I got another a perfect dish why not.
Decor: the whole restaurant seats around a long metallic bar table on high chairs. very cool setup, that's perfect for a group party, or a chic date.
this restautant isn't to be missed. I'm going again very soon, that's for sure.
