I learnt about this new restaurant in Central (which took over the spot of Zenku) from a magazine, and the pictures in the article look very appealing, so I decided to give it a try tonight with a friend. It is still the restaurant's soft opening, and there is a 30% off the menu. I was actually looking forward to dining in this restaurant and to try some of the food as featured in the magazine.

It is still the restaurant's soft opening, and there is a 30% off the menu. I was actually looking forward to dining in this restaurant and to try some of the food as featured in the magazine.
When I arrived, I was surprise to learn that there is only one set dinner available. And none of the food in the set menu is the ones as featured in the magazine. I asked the waitress whether or not I can actually try some of those more *famous* dishes by the chef, and the answer was no. I was actually very dissapointed. I dont understand what is the point of this resturant having its publicity when nobody can actually try any of the so call featured dish. .
The set menu itself is not at all appealing, with a carrot soup as a starter, scallop as an appertizer, chicken or pigeon as main, and apple tart or cheese (which again is unavilable on the night) as desert.
The carrot soup and the scallop with a hint of asparagus was so-so.
The pigeon is ok, but the portion is so small, I doubt any grown adult will be full after wards.
The chicken is not tender, as quoted from my friend. But the gratin is nicely made and presented in a small le creuset (or at least a le creuset look alike) cast iron.
I must say the only good side of the whole meal was the bread, which was rather warm and crispy, and thats about it.
Even with the discount 30% off, the meal comes down to HKD1,100 for two.
There is a lot of choices in Central for that price and that food and this restaurant is definitely not worth another visit after its grand opening.
