Opened in Shum SHui Po, to the delight of slow cooking lovers, Foam bar & restaurant is welcoming. Enjoy the egg with black garlic and Chinese wine ($48) and grill Duck breast ( sous vide) ($78) as starters. Elegantly presented with perfect pink meat that was cooked at the right temperature. You can find culinary foams in every dish; impressive flavours and presentation ( with very reasonable price too!) but the foam is not interesting anymore after seeing the same thing from starter to mains an
You can find culinary foams in every dish; impressive flavours and presentation ( with very reasonable price too!) but the foam is not interesting anymore after seeing the same thing from starter to mains and even dessert! ...haha but back to the mains, my favourite goes to the Fettuccine ($88) with Grilled chicken and coconuts. Chicken was at perfect texture, full of juices thanks to slow cooking technique, accompanied with delicate coconut flakes on top. Fettuccine got great texture; yet flavour would be enhanced if more seasoning and sauce was added.
Grilled Pompano with homemade black truffle sauce ($98)- skin was grilled to perfect golden crispiness; meat was juicy and tender. The only flaw about this dish might be the black truffle sauce that might be a bit too strong for delicate flavour of seafood, getting dominated without doubts.
The last main is 24 hours Sous Vide Grilled Angus beed with coffee powder sprinkled on top that match the flavour surprisingly! A very interesting experience having grilled beef in lukewarm. It might take us some time getting used to this cooking method.
To end our meal, we opted for red wine dumplings which wowed us at both presentation and palate! WE thought it would be a red wine soup but turns out it's the red wine foam on top of the dumpling is cleverly designed as it tasted much lighter and less sour compared with balsalmic red wine sauce. Chewy dumpling with sweet redwine sauce inside that drool all over the plate. Yum!Overall, our table loves the atmosphere, as a fusion of western food and Chinese decorations. Great music and beer too!
