Michelin One Star Restaurant 🌟 (But deserves a lot more than one)
Since my last experience at VEA, I couldn’t wait to bring my mother there to give it a try. It is so difficult to find the appropriate restaurant to bring elderlies that can surprise them and at the same time please them, as they are indeed the most difficult critiques to please.
VEA managed to blow it out of the park with my mother praising dish after dish. Her favorite was the pickled vegetable fish whilst mine is still the fried sea cucumber with tigar prawn.
What surprises me the most is that not only my mother is pleased with the food, she was pleasantly happy with the cocktail pairing. Glass after glass, she was amazed by the mixologist’s explanation of how each cocktail complement each dish.
We were sitting in the kitchen area this time. When compared to the counter table near the bar area, it’s a bit hotter and a bit noisy (as the private room was just next to us). But it’s quite interesting to see all the chef in action and how they work together as a team.
Service for the night was slightly off as it’s obvious that they were short of staff. There were a number of times when the chef had to deliver the dishes himself to the various counter tables to ensure hot food. Bobo was nice enough to come over to great us. I wished it was her again as she did a great job in explaining the dishes last time and I wished my mother could experience the same. But overall, still solid.
PS VEA has got to be one of the most considerate restaurants. They noticed that I returned within a month and called to ask if I would like to change my menu to try something new! How amazing is that?!💯
Recommendations:
• Opt for 8 course instead of 6. You will be very very full but you have to experience everything!
• The fish maw add on is highly recommended.
• Cocktail pairing is superb!
Price: HK$3,500 pp (dinner with cocktail pairing)
Revisit: 10/10 (Can’t wait to be back!)
