My friends and I went for dinner at a newly opened restaurant in Causeway Bay. It is a bit far away from Causeway Bay MTR station, but the best part is that you can enjoy ypur meal in front of Victoria Harbour!Inside the restaurant is dim, in other words, it is quite moody.The set menu is a big deal! A 6-course menu costs around $500 per head only.Some toast was served in the beginning of thhe meal. we could not see butter but a bowl of crabmeat and mushroom cream sauce instead. The combination
It is basically Caesar salad with smoked duck breast but with a twist. Dijon Mustard is used in the salad dressing to make it slightly spicy and more appetising.
The manager told us the chef simply blended the porcini mushroom with water to cook this soup. French porcini mushroom carries strong nutty flavour which makes the soup very flavourful.
There are altogether five main dish to choose from. I ordered Spanish Iberico Pork (medium well). The Iberico Pork was grilled perfectly with crispy crust and succulent flesh. It has been my first time to try juniper berries sauce. Actually, juniper berry is one of the main ingredients of Gin. Its sourness goes well with the meat.
The lamb chop was grilled perfectly too! We ordered medium in order to keep the meat tender and juicy. It is not so meaty, which is good for me. The mashed potato aside was smooth and creamy but I would love it to be more buttery (less healthy haha).
The carbonara here was unexpectedly nice! The spaghetti is al dente. I have to say many restaurants in Hong Kong fail to serve al dente pasta. The runny eggyolk was very attractive and it also added moisture to the spaghetti. The sauce was rich and creamy, and we could even notice the taste of bacon in it!
