Fusion 5 th Floor . As a foodies , two places that I seldom go for a hit but actually I am quite interested in it . One is Tsuen Wan . The other one is Sheung Wan .

And for this time , we found a nice place for all of you - Fusion 5 th Floor Kitchen .Fusion 5 th was established in 2000 and relocated in Sheung Wan . Dinners can definitely feel the sincerity an
Fusion 5 th was established in 2000 and relocated in Sheung Wan . Dinners can definitely feel the sincerity and the driving force behind the menu . The chef Friendly hone his skills in Canada, successfully create a very contemporary approach to explore an arousing culinary experience.They provide a wide range of selections in a modern fusion style , yet not overwhelming . A market - driven menu, dining options range from simple 2 -course meals to a whopping 8 - courses tasting menu . Such extremely high quality of the ingredients definitely impressed you deeply and urge for a return visit .Breadbasket
Excellent artisan bread . Fusion 5 th provide three kinds of bread . Plain, wheat with oats and the carrot . All are in a flaky layer with a soft supper mouthfuls . Carrot one is very unique with strong carrot hint , I specially love this piece of bread , it was so favorable . Butter is in plain white color , much more light and creamy as I thought . It was not salty at all , but extremely creamy . The breadbasket is a good start .Pan fried scallop with green mixs and baby tomato
Pan fried scallop was gigantic and extra thick , absolute umami . The scallop was springy , firm enough with a natural sea salt hint . Scallop was perfectly cooked and the sauce created a more palatable mouthfuls to coat the salad . Green mixs were a fresh crunch , which beautifully contrasted with the medley of sweet and sharp tomatoes . The entire performance was above average . The sauce and the scallop high end quality add an unexpected yet pleasant touch . A decent appetizer to whet your appetite.Seared France Foie Gras with confit of figs , raisin in foie gras sauce
This was nicely presented with a exquisite placement . A very fusion mix with spring roll and thin crust . This was a big surprise . Both of them were tiny delicacies . but the crispy touch definitely got the potential to moves you . Foie gras was luscious and plump in a generous thick size . The foie gras blend well with sightly condiments and melt swiftly on your tongue , the heat of your tongue melts the grease effortlessly , yet leaving a rich, buttery flavour lingering on the palate. This is worth trying . The combination is playful and fusion , mostly important , this is magnificent.Seafood broth
Seafood broth was equally incredible . The prawn is in a king size that shocked me when I had my first scoop . I can't even describe how big it was . It was even bigger than gigantic . Prawn was a heaven , very fresh with an al dente touch . The broth were perfectly complemented by the seafood . This was very plentiful and stomach - warming too ! This bowl of temptation filled up with a warm heat was devoured within seconds and a desire for another bowl was voiced .Risotto with organic mixed mushroom , black truffle sauce
This is a very outstanding dish in a different cooking method . Normally , we have risotto in a hot condition . Rice with sauce should be hot enough , however , this risotto was more like appetizer in a lukewarm temperature , even not stomach -warming , but the texture and tastes both were excellent . No wonder it is a signature of Fusion . Al dente rice cooked in a black truffle sauce . It smells heavenly good when it served .The sauce was creamy but not thick , dinners won't feel heavy or filling at all . Sauce managed in a moderate portion, hence the risotto soaked in the sauce harmoniously to create such perfect texture . Although it was a bit greasy due to the sauce , somehow the grease sightly nourish the rice and dazzle a shine . The rice cooked in a perfect timing that maintain its chewy plump texture while the truffle add a hint of aroma to the dish and escalate the tastes. The organic mushroom is fresh and aromatic that blend greatly with the rice too! All you can enjoy is a spoonful satisfaction and a creamy mouthful. This is surprisingly good that certainly out of my expectation. I have no idea how risotto can still be that outstanding even though it is in a barely warm temperature . Such simple dish requires strong depth of classic technique. This savory is a must try .Pan - roasted daily fish with bouillabaisse jus
Pan - roasted daily fish come sea bass . The sea bass is another favor with outstanding quality . Sea bass roasted into a impeccable texture . A crispy skin layer wrapped a succulent fresh flesh . The whole thing was tender and extremely delicious . It was quite tasty with a simple marination , pepper and salt sprinkled on top , the bouillabaisse Jus is the core that stand out and enhance the overall performance .The sauce is particular favorable with a tomato paste as a foundation , sightly sour that can bring out the natural freshness from the fish , very refreshing . The Jus and fish complement each other perfectly . Assorted vegetables form a base , were very fresh with extensive varieties . I do love this dish very much , even the green mix still got the potential to move me . The chef successfully create a fish meaty temptation .This is highly recommended , especially for fish lovers .Seasonal Dessert platter
Desserts always deserve receiving praises . Desserts is the core to end up such a pleasant meal , especially for gals ( me ) , I got an extra room for desserts even thought when I said I am full . The dessert platter offer a scoop of ice cream with napoleon , minced assorted fruits with chocolate mousse cake . The whole thing was likable . Chocolate pastry was really dense and rich in flavor , very tempting , as a chocoholics , this is exactly my cup of tea . Napoleon was equally outstanding , a crispy layer with a buttery hint . Both of them match well with the ice- cream , which is aromatic and creamy , the entire mouthfuls are incredible with well - seasoned balance flavor .
The most arresting element of the decor here is a spacious , alfresco balcony with parasols and potted plants . Atmosphere generally is casual , the elegant space is cozy . A culinary gem in the oft -overlooked Sheung Wan District , this restaurant does something very practical without any pretentious gimmicks . Service overall is thoughtful and on routine , but nothing special to mention . Staffs are attentive and easy going , but no smiling face .Just a kindly remind , there Sunday brunch is legendary , hence make your reservation in serval weeks' advanced . For those seeking for a less formal dining experience , the owners have opened a cafe and gourmet grocery on the building 's first floor , serving excellent desserts and small bites . Customers can still explore a truly enjoyable meal under the fusion group .
