@ta_vie_hk As a michelin⭐️⭐️⭐️restaurant, we had high expectations for sure. Gladly, their food quality was still up to par but I must say I expected more because of its fame. Overall their food did not awe me and desserts were my least favourite. However, the chef was very friendly and even walked us out. 🥂Hotaru SquidThe padrón pepper and tabouli salad were pretty strong in flavour and slightly too overpowering. But the squid itself had no fishy taste.🥂Japanese Hokki ClamTopped with 36 months age

🥂Hotaru Squid
The padrón pepper and tabouli salad were pretty strong in flavour and slightly too overpowering. But the squid itself had no fishy taste.
🥂Japanese Hokki Clam
Topped with 36 months aged Parma ham, the clam itself was really fresh and sweet. The consommé beneath was very flavourful too that I ended up drinking from the shell.
🥂House-made Pasta with deep-fried Sakura Shrimp
Liked how the sakura shrimp has added an extra crunch to the texture.
🥂Ezo Abalone
The broth was again very flavourful and the abalone was really tender after being slow-cooked.
🥂Japanese Oyster
The oyster itself was tasty and the butter sauce was not bad but the Oscietra caviar didn’t add much to the flavour.
🥂Pan-seared Brittany Blue Lobster
With Japanese whelk, burdock and white asparagus together in one dish, the blue lobster and whelk were really fresh with its own flavour stood out. Also loved the pair with the seasonal white asparagus here.
🥂Birthday dessert
Thanks for their birthday dessert. It’s nice of them that they did this for free but it’s just too sweet in general and my friend didn’t like their choice of the plate.
🥂Japanese White Strawberry with Pistachio Cream
The pistachio flavour was not very strong and I’m not a big fan of white meringue.
🥂Chocolate Crêpe Soufflé with Black Cherry Jam and Tonka Beans Flavoured Ice Cream
Nothing very unique here. They also provide tea and little snacks at the end.
Also tried three different types of their sourdough and they were all delicious. Overall our experience here was not bad and we liked the spacious setting. It still worth a visit.
