The stark white interior and bright clinical lighting could be blinding like those jewelry shops but touches of “tiffany blue” make the whole experience quite attractive to the ladies. Given that there are a little bit more females in Hong Kong than males, we (or it’s just me) are more willing tp spend money on food than a Tiffany diamond ring; a meal here and there at Foxtail & Broomcorn is very do-able. With wine and being ok full stomach, it could be about HK$200+/person.Had a regular catch u

 Had a regular catch up with a girl friend at the Sheung Wan outlet. Small place and the whole restaurant probably overheard every single word we said about those online dating apps, eyebrow-raising encounters and my friend’s little adventure in Seattle recently. After 2 glasses of Sauvignon Blanc each, our midget-selves were more concern on falling off the high chairs at the kitchen counter, laughing our heads off, than the hipster couple that was throwing us looks periodically.

The restaurant concept was to fuse European techniques into an array of Asian (noodle) dishes. MSG-free, the menu was short and concise, clean and unpretentious. Most dishes took on the spicy goodness from Southeast Asia and Japan. I thought they did a better job on the starters and sides, and could step up on the noodles with more depth for the palates to savor (well, for that one noodles we had at least).

The Gurney was the hae mee (Hokkien prawn noodles), assuming inspired from Penang. It had all the core ingredients except the stock was missing the “bang” of rich dried shrimp / prawn head flavors (Foxtail actually got it right on the sweet characteristic in the seafood but the stock was towards the watery side). I would describe it as a recipe that had toned down to fit the more European taste buds.

 We loved the Beef Tataki with sambal sauce. The Wagyu slices had just enough fat to let them melt in the mouth. The sambal woke us up with a sharp and spicy kick but didn’t linger long to affect our palates for the other dishes.

 Teriyaki Style Squid was a great companion with our wine. The edges were slightly toasted with peanut powder.

 This restaurant is good for 2-person dining because dishes are on the smaller side yet still reasonable. There are 8 noodle choices with 4 being Japanese so it’s an interesting move in the highly competitive (authentic) Japanese cuisine scene in Hong Kong. The edge here at Foxtail could be one can enjoy a wide range of flavors simply at one stop.
