And after a few chat with the nice lady there, I just can't refuse her recommendation, as these oysters were all fresh and from France this morning... and this is really a great decision as I haven't tried the oyster with a sweet after-taste for a long long time... The Podge one was really stunning... I liked it..

Second starter is the special scallop, from Hokkaido, made with the warm cauliflower foam... quite an interesting mix, and the temperature was perfect... very nice dish.

The Next Entree was the Beef Tartare... which was not bad, but I would like to say that the garlic taste was a bit too strong this time...

Pork Terrine was never my cup of tea, but this time, I was surprised that their handmade one was filled with different gradient and liver, making it quite a tasty one for the night... seldom I would like to taste more, but the liver in the middle of the terrine was really surprising...

Lobster Bisque, was a rather sweet soup... and can sense that a lot of time and energy have been spent in preparing this soup...

The long awaited foie gras has finally come... and as expected, with the nice strawberry sauce, can't get it wrong ...

While the surprising crab cake was the lovely dish in the night... and up to this point.. I was already so full...

The main was a Wagyu steak, and luckily that the portion is relatively small, and so, can still have time to gently enjoy it.

It took us around 3 hours to complete all the major dishes before the dessert - a lovely homemade Caramel Cake..

... with the very nice coffee offered... the night was filled with joy and satisfaction.

Well Done Amina... will come back soon...

睇完戲行完街後，就黎到一早訂左位既Amina Modern Europe食晚餐。餐廳屬於私房菜類型，所以設係樓上鋪，而且大廈外沒有水牌，私隱度頗高，而且不收加一服務費。餐廳環境不大，每張檯都有放上蠟燭，感覺頗浪漫的，最重要是不覺嘈吵，可以靜靜的聊天和品嚐美食。.最前方更設有生蠔bar，每天都提供數款不同種類既生蠔，當然不少得就係紅酒。今次我地就叫左晚餐Set，包括麵包、餐前小食、海鮮拼盤、主菜、甜品、餐飲及朱古力，$660/位 (免收加一)，價錢唔平，但食材同味道方便你會覺得係值得。.來到這裡，當然要先乾一杯啦~Cheers~~.先來個餐前麵包，配西蘭花香草醬及煙燻椰菜花醬，不過小妹都係較喜歡前者，因為食落有陣陣西蘭花香氣，頗美味，不過麵包就稍為軔左少少。.意大利青瓜凍湯，以青瓜作為凍湯感覺特別，入口味道清清的，很適合這炎炎夏日享用，而且質感滑溜，配上魚子醬脆餅，感覺輕盈美味。.先來一個海鮮拼盤，色彩鮮艷，排列得相當豐富，裡頭有長腳蟹腳、生蠔、藍青口，凍蝦和田螺等。.拼盤內的海鮮味道都感覺頗新鮮的，生蠔係來自法國的KYS，入口清爽味甜，帶有回甘；.長腳蟹腳食落啖啖肉，像極粗身版蟹棒咁，

其他如青口、田螺等食落都係爽甜彈牙呢。
(如想散叫生蠔就半打$188)

湯有兩款選擇，分別為Lobster Bisque及Fennel Oyster Cream Soup。我們倆決定各要一款，那便能試晒兩款味道。

Lobster Bisque
龍蝦湯打得頗滑，內裡也有龍蝦肉呢，而且小妹很怕那種很苦的龍蝦湯，這裡的卻不苦很易入口，味道也是濃郁的。

Fennel Oyster Cream Soup
淺嚐了一口這個蠔湯，初入口時有點像在懷疑是否蠔味? 在慢慢細嚐後那股蠔味愈來愈出，不會帶腥，卻有種鮮味，怕蠔的人也很易接受，內裡仲有隻廣島蠔呢，感覺很足料。

Red Wine Braised Beef Cheek (紅酒燴牛面肉)
第一次食牛面肉，據說這牛面珠要燴約兩個鐘，再用大火炆三個鐘，前後加埋五個鐘，所以食落相當入味，肉質夠軟腍，食落質感帶點黏黏的，每一口都是享受；底下以薯蓉墊底，薯蓉質感頗滑，配上紅酒汁，很惹味的；另外也配上一些蔬菜，像露筍和粟米等，可以平衡一下飽滯感。

鱈魚配上牛油檸檬醬汁，旁邊還有些小蕃茄和新西蘭韮菜作裝飾，賣相別緻。鱈魚似入口嫩滑，還帶有幽香的牛油檸檬汁，感覺輕盈，女士們相信會喜歡。

(法式燉蛋配蛋白慕絲)
面層的焦糖很脆身，燉蛋甜度適中，質感細滑，蛋味頗濃，配上滑滑的蛋白慕絲作點綴，不錯呢。

Coffee or Tea
飯後餐飲，可選擇要咖啡/茶，店方更會拿出一個盒子，內裡更放了新鮮花茶，和川寧茶包讓客人選擇，小妹就要了一個熱伯爵茶來消化一下。

Homemade Chocolate (Green Tea, Raspberry, Macadamia, Truffle, Cacao)
唔好以為上埋餐茶就完左成個餐，其實仲有最後一道菜，就係自家製既朱古力，感覺滿有驚喜呢! 一客五款不同味道，小妹試左Raspberry同Truffle，朱古力入口頗滑且味道濃郁，整體黎講挺不錯。

I haven't been to a lot of private kitchens in HK yet as most of them are hidden and located in random buildings so it's hard to come across them unless you look deliberately. Thanks to Joe at Amina for the invitation so I can experience this lovely dinner with J in a private location! The restaurant is located in a commercial building on the bustling Cameron Road in TST. There is no restaurant signage at the entrance of the building so you won't stumble upon this restaurant unless you know of it ahead of time.

When we arrived on the floor, we had to ring the doorbell before being let in. Once inside, I noticed that the restaurant was decent in size with 4-5 small tables as well as 2 private dining rooms. The decor was simple and chic with mainly black, grey and white color schemes. There was also an oyster bar and wine rack with a small selection of wines. As wine lovers, we were excited to learn that Amina does not charge corkage fee, so we brought our own bottle of pinot noir for our dinner this evening.

Amina serves a blend of European cuisine and offers a set dinner of 5 courses for only ~$600. The set dinner menu changes every 1-2 months depending on the seasonality of the ingredients and the chef's liking apparently. Fresh oysters from France are offered as well for $68-$98 per oyster. For our dinner, we tried their set dinner as well as their oysters.

Bread with Homemade Sauce - the bread was warm and soft while the eggplant spread stole the show. It reminded us of baba ghanoush - a Levantine dish of mashed eggplant, olive oil and other seasoning. The texture was soft and smooth while the flavors were light and flavorful. It was a nice surprise that the chef used baba ghanoush as a spread for the bread, although the bread could have used more texture.

Fresh Oysters - they had 4 choices of oysters which were all from France: Gran Fine de Claire, White Pearl, Gillardeau, and Pinky. All of them were extremely fresh and full of different flavors. Some were firm and briny while others were softer and creamier. These were probably one of the freshest oysters I've had in HK. The only critique I have is that while they offered cocktail sauce as condiment, they did not have mignonette sauce.

Starter

Homemade Venison Terrine with Bacon and Mozzarella - a very interesting combination of pate, fried bacon bits and mozzarella cheese. The pate was very rich and flavorful while the textures of the crunchy bacon and soft cheese all worked together to produce this solid dish.

Kobe Beef Tartare - with beef tartare, the beef used has to be fresh and top-quality as you are eating raw beef. The kobe beef used here was fresh and finely chopped but just did not have that strong raw beef flavor as other beef tartare I've had in the past. I think it could have used more seasoning as well.

Soup

Squid Ink Soup - I've had squid ink risotto and pasta before but this was my first time having squid ink soup, and it was surprisingly good! The soup arrived pitch black with a squid in the middle. Made from squid ink and fish broth, the aroma was fresh while the flavors were intense and flavorful. The squid was also soft and tender to eat.

Lobster Bisque - the lobster bisque was good but the big surprise was that there was a big scallop sitting beneath the surface. The scallop was very fresh and sweet, which enhanced the overall flavor of the soup.

Entree

Foie Gras with Beef Root and Cranberry - the foie gras here was excellent! Not only was it cooked perfectly, the surface was nicely caramelized as well which gave an additional texture and flavor to it. The cranberry sauce was tart and flavorful but the best part was the balsamic vinegar drizzled at the bottom. The balsamic vinegar was very thick and rich, which went perfectly with the foie gras.

Scallops with Baked Cheese and Onion - the scallops were very fresh and half-cooked while the baked cheese was light and aromatic. While the texture was tender, the scallops were still slightly cold on the inside which stood out against the warm cheese mixture.

Sorbet of the day - we were then given a guava sorbet to cleanse our palates before consuming our main course. The guava sorbet was light and sweet, which served its purpose wonderfully.

Main Course

M6 Kobe Steak with Artichoke, Gnocchi, Chef Sauce - M6 refers to the grade of the beef and we were told that most restaurant usually serves only M4-5. The steak was finely sliced and while it was nicely cooked, it was not as fatty or flavorful as I'd expected. The temperature of the steak was also not as hot when it arrived which may have impacted the taste. What I love about this dish though was the gnocchi sitting underneath the steak! While the gnocchi I usually have are soft and chewy, the gnocchi here was nicely toasted on the outside so the texture was a bit harder but still chewy. Love it!

Braised Lamb Shank with Mashed Potato - the lamb shank was braised very well as the meat was very soft and tender, which peeled away from the bone easily. The lamb was flavorful and gamey while the mashed potato was soft and rich. The rosemary used was also very fresh. A very solid dish overall!

Dessert

Creme Brulee - the caramel on the surface was hard and crunchy while the custard was warm and a bit runny. I love how the top layer of caramel was harder than usual, but I prefer my custard to be more solid as well. As our dessert arrived, french jasmine tea was also served in a beautiful tea cup with a few jasmine buds floating on top. The tea was light and aromatic, which was perfect for digestion.

Conclusion - I was pretty impressed with the ovreall quality of the food here while I thought most of the dishes were well thought out. They didn't skim on the ingredients so the value for money was definitely high! The service and attention to detail was excellent as well. I was pleasantly surprised when they sprinkled pepper onto the side of the soup plate instead of on the soup directly, which allowed us to add and taste as needed. The ambiance is cozy and quiet which is great for couples and just about anybody who prefers a private place to dine at. It turns out that they have a branch in CWB as well but is currently under renovation. As that is more convenient for me, I would love to visit that branch next time to try the food there as well!
