Located on the 26th floor, the open kitchen offers a relaxing and cosy environment for diners to enjoy their meal. It also provides a lovely outlook of the skyline of Central. A fixed degustation menu is offered, with ingredients varying depending on the seasonal ingredients and Chef Vicky Cheng's innovation and inspiration.

Highlights of the food:
Tuna, Sea urchin, Espelette, RiceThe first course is a signature dish by Liberty Private Works. Beautifully arranged, the tuna tartare and crispy rice is topped with generous portion of creamy sea urchin in the middle, and frozen grape and sweet longon on the sides. The combination is simply perfect. The spiciness of the tuna tartare is greatly balanced with the sweet and fresh sea urchin. The crispy rice also brings an additional texture and flavour. A very refreshing dish indeed.
Asparagus, Morel, Snow fungusThe second course is a light yet flavorful dish. The white asparagus, a seasonal ingredient, is simmered and lightly seasonsed to retain its taste. Compared with the green asparagus, it is slightly milder and more tender. The morel has a slightly more woodsy taste and the snow fungus, which has a lighter taste, blends perfectly with it. Quite a unique dish.
Kinmedai, Tomato, KiwiThis dish has a Japanese element in it. The Kinmedai, seared on the side, is undeniably fresh and tender. The cherry tomatoes and radish are marinated and the kiwi sauce brings a sweet anad sour taste that stimulates the taste bud.
Egg, Truffle, Parmesan, CaviarAnother signature dish of LPW. This is in fact my favorite dish. The ravioli is wrapped with a runny egg, parmesan, truffle, and generously topped with caviar. The caviar pops on the tongue, with a rich and slightly sweet taste that oozes in the mouth. The whole dish is aromatic and flavorful, with the parmesan being milky and tasteful, and the truffle giving an earthy fragrance and unique flavour to the dish. Impressive indeed.
Chicken, Bamboo shoots, Fiddle headsThis is evitably a dish that requires great effort and time. The layers of chicken is nestled together, with the sauce being cooked with chicken bone and sake. The chicken meat is smooth and tender, with the exterior layer being pan-fried perfectly to give a crunchy texture. The sauce is great as it is not too heavy in taste and brings out the original flavour of the chicken.
Lamb, Wheat berry, Black garlicLast savoury dish. This dish is great because of its simpleness. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a soft pink flesh, it retains the juiciness and tenderness. Served alongside is a vegetable puree, with wheat berry and black garlic. The black garlic removes the gaminess of the lamb, and the puree brings a more refreshing and mildness to the dish.
Strawberry, Black pepper, Fennel Pollen The first dessert- Strawberry, Black pepper, Fennel Pollen simply looks tempting and appetising. The strawberry is stuffed with marshmallow, and the mochi with condensed milk is soft and chewy. A cute combination. The fennel pollen is also a little 'secret ingredient' that highlighted the dessert as the taste is incredibly unique, and brings a strong aromatic flavor that complemented with the other ingredients in the dessert.
Miso, Honey, EdamameThe last course of the day is miso ice cream with honey and edamame. The miso ice cream tastes mild, with a slight saltiness in it. The edamame has a natural freshness and sweetness which matches the miso ice cream. The honey also brings an extra flavor and sweetness to the dish.
Indeed, each dish at LPW is unique and inspirational. The ingredients are fresh and seasonal and does not require strong seasoning. The ingredients also match perfectly, complementing each other both in taste and in presentation. It is also a completely different dining experience, being able to enjoy the food while watching the passionate and whole-hearted chef and his team cooking. Simply an enjoyable and impressive meal!
