1 minute walk from the Hong Kong University MTR exit, you will be able to spot this high ceiling restaurant. The atmosphere is pretty nice here, my friend and I are being seated on the window side. Nonetheless the street view is not that pleasant, there is a car shop right across us. The server has passed us a hard copy of the menu and a tablet, which you are able to see the images of each dishes (so helpful for foodies to pick a photogenic dish lol!).

 1 minute walk from the Hong Kong University MTR exit, you will be able to spot this high ceiling restaurant. The atmosphere is pretty nice here, my friend and I are being seated on the window side. Nonetheless the street view is not that pleasant, there is a car shop right across us. 

The server has passed us a hard copy of the menu and a tablet, which you are able to see the images of each dishes (so helpful for foodies to pick a photogenic dish lol!). The restaurant has released a series of Korean themed drinks and dishes and they all look YUMMY!! But there are only two of us and we cannot eat that much, which give us a hard time on deciding. Luckily, a friendly server has provided few suggestions to us and we decide to follow them~

 The night has begun with some alcohols, I have selected this Heritage Punch, it is a makgeolli (Korean rice wine) based cocktail. Normally I don’t like the taste of the makgeolli, since the alcohol flavor is rather strong. Yet, this is absolutely adorable, pour the makgeolli into the cup and then the colorful and edible flowers will be flowing on the top. It has also include the hazelnut liqueur and bergamot orange puree, thus it is slightly sweet and easy to drink.

 My friend chose this Blossom Sour, the base is the Korean pomegranate vinegar and mixed with vodka, raspberry and elderflower liqueur. Actually it isn’t that sour and you can taste a hint of the sweetness from it, totally a drink for girl. However, I would prefer the first one more~

 While we were drinking and chitchatting, the starter has arrived the table, Soft-Shell Crab. We are both stunned by its portion, the soft shell crab is FREAKING HUGE!! Take a closer look, it is bottomed with a large bread, though the crab is still bigger than usual lol. The bread somehow looks similar to Yorkshire pudding, but harder and crispier. Dip the freshly fried soft shell crab into the wasabi ranch dressing, it isn’t as hot as I thought it would be, nevertheless it is perfect to balance the heaviness of the dish. I am just in love with this meaty soft shell crab, its crispy and crunchy texture is completely appealing!

 Soon after, the Hokkaido Uni, Korean Chili, Spaghetti has been served to us. The server is very thoughtful, he introduces the dish to us in details. The uni has been cooked in some spicy sauce, you are supposed to stir and mix it with the cream sauce and the spaghetti before eat. It carries a hint of the spiciness and the spaghetti is al dente, it’s definitely addictiveeee~

 The following main course is the chef recommendation, Lobster Trio. The lobster was cut in half, part of it has baked with cheese and another half has cooked with the noodles. At first I thought this is also spaghetti, turns out it is UDON! No wonder the texture is quite soft and slightly soggy. This is more like a Chinese Western fusion dish, because there are conpoy (dried scallop) and dried chili. The lobster meat is rather fresh and in perfect texture, yet surely the one that baked with cheese tastes a lot better! 

Since the portions are quite generous, we are pretty half. Nonetheless, you MUST NOT leave without their desserts, each of them are double Ds, “Delicate” and “Delicious”!!

 Again, we are facing the “small stomach” issue, good thing the server has arranged a small version of this Pop Mountain for us. The popcorn mountain starts to snow the pink Himalayan salt (another server is granting the salt on the top) and be quick to eat as the ice mountain will start to melt. I was shocked by its incredibly strong corn flavor, because there are popcorns and a bit of the corn soup dressing only. The sweet corn taste goes well with the vanilla icecream, simple but nom nom.

 Next is the Sour Cube, it looks like a giant marshmallow or ice cube with snow on the top. The red fruits sauce will just leak out from the cube right away once you cut it opened. The white and red colors remind me of Christmas, do some decorations and it will be the best Christmas cake ever haha. That white snow is made with sour cream, which can prevent the sweetness overload. There are two pieces of the honey comb on the side and no doubt they have added the crunchy texture to the dessert, however I don’t like them to be stuck between my teeth. Overall the presentation and flavors are fabulous, anyone would appreciated it.

 Last but not least is the Soybean Tiramisu, it has been served in a mini jar, which is mocking the traditional earthenware kimchi jar. It is sided with a golden cylinder and it is containing the edible gold flakes, sprinkle the gold flakes and add that 24K magic to the tiramisu haha. Don’t get me wrong, the flavor is delightful, yet I can’t tell whether it is a tiramisu or not. Well I quite enjoy those Korean rice cakes that have been coated with soybean powder, the chewy texture is totally lovely.
