NUR meaning Light in Arabic which is why there are so many light-bulbs in the restaurants and the Chef himself is called Nurdin.
Head Chef Nurdin Topham is a British chef who has worked for almost 20 years’ with Raymond Blanc as well as the best restaurant in the world, NOMA.
The restaurant is really down to earth with a lovely porch, sitting area and home grown herbs which can just be plucked to eat.For food, there are three different set dinners, LIGHT (a 6-course set dinner for HKD788) or a FEAST of 9 courses for HKD988.
Vegetarians are not left out either because they serve a Vegetarian set too.
We tried the LIGHT set which was fabulous in presentation as well as taste.
Here is what was in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Jasmine kombucha :
This was fermented tea with a lovely Jasmine taste. If I wasn't told, I couldn't tell it was fermented because the taste was so pleasant.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Canapes:
A light starter of nourishing vegetables with cute beetroot tacos with watercress cultured cream, baby sweetcorns, carrots with carrot powder and cumin.Everything on the plate was edible including baby sweetcorn tassels.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
OYSTERS Gillardeau oyster, cucumber, wasabi:
The oyster was half poached which gave it a semi raw but slightly cooked texture.It was paired with wasabi foam, cucumber pearls and seaweed which went together surpisingly well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★SALMON Irish organic salmon, beetroot, smoked butter milk:
It had almost every colour on the plate and the stripes on the beetroots were striking.Each piece of beetroot was fresh, crisp and sweet and the salmon was just divine.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Zen Organic Garden Vegetables:
The salad was colourful and fun to eat because we were given chopsticks for it!!At the bottom of the bowl, there was a strong cheesy paste which gave the salad an extra kick.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Poached Japanese Taiyouran egg:
The egg was poached so beautifully and it looked like burrata cheese.Inside, the yolk was perfectly fluid which went nicely with the tasty quinoa beneath it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Home Made 10 Grains Sourdough with Natural Yeast:
The sourdough was soft and I loved the proper sour tones it had complemented by the earthy mushroom butter.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roasted Chicken Thigh & Breast Roulade:
The chicken roulade was the best of both worlds, succulent chicken breast wrapped in tender chicken thigh meat on the outside, paired with a crunchy melody of Romanesco broccoli.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Bitter Chocolate, Orange & Hazelnut :
The chocolate was amazingly silky, it was like having chocolate sorbet flavoured nicely with a twist of orange and nutty hazelnuts.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
As a conclusion, the FEAST would be a better option for those with bigger appetites and I wish there were more choices for tea.
