Ah, where to begin. I personally found that part of the dining experience in HK is the location, where usually “good location = high rent = crap food” (Soho, LKF for example).Unfortunately, this latest newcomer to the HK dining scene did not buck that trend.We had the stuffed avocado, pear and berry salad, the sampler trio, lobster bisque and calamari.The main dish was served first, so the trio platter kinda set the tone.

Unfortunately, this latest newcomer to the HK dining scene did not buck that trend.
We had the stuffed avocado, pear and berry salad, the sampler trio, lobster bisque and calamari.
The main dish was served first, so the trio platter kinda set the tone. Bland and unimaginative, and the shrimps tasted like typical frozen/reheated shrimps, not fresh...we are in HK for crying out loud, get some fresh local shrimps.
Then the appetizers arrived...or maybe better call them accomplices to a crime against my tastebuds.
The stuffed avocado were not ripe, and had a taste profile of a supermarket abomination avocado rather than a proper creamy fruit you would get in SoCal or Mexico. That was enough to ruin that dish.
The lobster bisque, also bland, should have gone to school at Campbell’s for a few lessons in canned taste.
The coup de gras was were the calamari, which were apparently battered in edible concrete to hide the anorexic rubbery bits they call calamari. HK, fish market anyone?
The salad was not bad, though.
