My other half learnt about this restaurant and suggested to give it a go, so we went last night. On the way to Elgin Street where Belon is located, I noticed quite a lot of changes in Soho area. Some restaurants  have gone gone disappeared (only after a few months we moved out from mid-levels)! Right, restaurant scenes in HK changing fast, probably just down to one reason, skyrocketing rent!
We were escorted to our seats. The waiter handed over the drinks menu and the food menu. I took my time to go through the food menu and my first thought was - it's pricey. The menu looks really simple. I just didn't have a good feeling.

Perhaps, the price factor kind of put me off. It's almost Michelin standard kind of price, so would it also be "potential" michelin-starred standard kind of food? My other half wanted a starter, he ordered Périgord Truffle Omelette $398. It was elegantly presented, with quite generous serving of thinly shaven truffle. The omelette is stuffed with some kind of leek compote. Over all, it is a posh omelette served with truffle. That's all. 
For the main, we both wanted to go for the Atlantic Monkfish Tail with mussels and "Sauce Laitue" at $568. The waiter had kindly advised us that it comes in big portion, so one main could be shared amongst us. I do appreciate this else we would have ordered one each, which I think we would end up not being able to finish the whole dish. We also ordered Pressé De Pommes De Terre as a side, which comes at $128. Oh yeah, we also ordered bread, which is $48 for 4 slices. (Well, bread is a must when you go to a French restaurant and usually not chargeable!)
Before we were served, the staff came to show us other dish, then walked away to cut into serving portion. ( We both think this is unnecessary as during the process of transfer, the temperature of the food had probably gone down a few degrees). Then, we were presented with the monk fish, mussels and leeks, served with sauce laitue (lettuce sauce). The fish is firm, but slightly over seasoned (for my taste). As for the mussels, there were pretty big, they were ok (but I personally prefer smaller ones, like French/Belgian mussels). The sauce is ok. The dish overall is pretty simple and that's pretty much about it.  
For dessert, I got myself Palet D'or $178. It's a nicely made dessert, with a few gold leaves.I love the cake, cream and glaze. 
Overall, the food at Belon didn't blow my mind away. It's a Neo-Parison bistro but with Michelin-star price tags. Execution is slightly above average, well, at least that's what I think. For what it is, I could have paid the same if not just slightly more for a real good michelin-starred food. Price is a real issue. Will I go back? A simple no.

I love it when an Aussie chef does well overseas.

It's why I was excited and intrigued to learn that James Henry had shut down his well regarded Paris Bistro Bones to establish a new dining establishment here in Hong Kong.  It seemed like a strange move to relocate from the world's most glamorous culinary city, albeit to one of the world's most exciting.

It seemed like the Hong Kong media were excited too, there was much fanfare and media coverage about the pending move.

Partnering with Black Sheep, Chef James was looking to establish a Neo-Parisian Bistro of the likes that graced the streets of Paris ten and fifteen years ago.  Taking fine dining to a much more accessible level; a trend that has been prevalent in countries like Australia over the last five years.  Looking to set up in Elgin Street SoHo, you couldn't get much more accessible than the trendy strip that's chocked with casual eateries that are frequented by tourists and expats alike.

As excited as I was to see Henry setting up shop in Hong Kong, every time I looked to visit the restaurant, something held me back.  Often I would browse the menu online and not really see any items that excited me, or warranted a visit over one of the countless other restaurants in Hong Kong.

By the time I'd finally decided to bite the bullet and get along for a meal, a funny and strange thing had happened.  I'm not exactly sure when, but very quietly the name James Henry had disappeared from any material or collateral associated with Belon.  Instead another young gun chef by the name of Daniel Calvert was in charge of the kitchen; arguably a more successful chef having worked at Pied à Terre and Per Se.

But not James Henry (who seems to have disappeared off the Internet completely!)

Anyway....

We made our way to Belon for our mid week reservation and were greeted warmly and shown to our table, before being given a couple of menus to look over.  The facade of Belon definitely stands out, the all wood frontage looked very out of place in the largely garish Elgin Street.  The interior was quite something too, turquoise tables sat elegantly in the relatively small space; and like many French bistros, mirrors featured prominently, helping to give a much more spacious feel than the actual square footage.

The menu itself was split into hors d'oeuvres, small bites that could be purchased individually or as a mini tasting menu; and the more traditional entrees, plats, fromages and dessert.  Most of the items were interesting takes on traditional French bistro cuisine and there was one notable share item, the restaurant's famous whole roasted chicken served with pommes puree.

As tempting as the whole chicken was, we decided that we didn't feel like chicken and would have to leave that to try for another time.

My meal kicked off with the simply presented foie gras 'au torchon' with preserved blackberries, served with a side of warm rye bread.  The generous serving of cold foie gras (more like a pâté) was incredibly creamy and smooth, with a sweetness that danced on the palate quite beautifully.  Adding the preserved blackberries was a genius move, the slightly tart berries were the perfect foil for the abundantly creamy foie gras.  I also found the rye bread to be particularly delightful with the foie gras, my minor quibble was that three pieces would have worked better with the portion size (as opposed to two).

The girl wanted something super light for her starter and chose the Shima Aji 'salade Niçoise'.  It was an interesting take on the traditional salad, replacing tuna with Japanese Horse-mackerel, a slightly oily fish with bags of flavour.  Fresh ingredients came together to provide a wonderful light and delicious starter, a wonderful sauce coated the fish that was subtly sweet.  It was a great dish with one exception; the amount of dill that was included!  There was a serious amount, way too much and the girl ended up leaving most of it on the plate.

There was a reason why the girl went light salad as a starter, she'd chosen arguably the heaviest main on the menu; the pigeon pithivier with fig and amaretto.  It was a seriously delicious looking pigeon pie that had been cut in half for it's presentation, as well as being topped by pigeon legs (which looked a little creepy).  Finishing the dish was a wonderfully thick jus that had bags of flavour and was seriously sticky.

The exquisitely cooked pastry was light and buttery and covered the super earthy pigeon breast that was simply perfectly cooked.  It was actually quite a generous sized dish which the girl couldn't finish and had to get some help from me; I had no quibbles about finishing off the expertly cooked pigeon breast and some of the pastry covering.

I kind of needed to after so quickly devouring my main course, the lobster salad with aged parmesan.  While the girls main had been extremely generous, I found my main to be quite the opposite, it was incredibly poor value for the pricing (even considering the luxury produce).  While I felt that the portion size was tiny, I had no complaints at all about its preparation or flavour combinations.  The lobster was cooked to perfection, butter poached and delicious; the bite of the parmesan wonderful, as was the slight bite from the cocktail sauce that was hidden under portions of lobster.

We decided to share a dessert and ordered the millefeuille, which is a very traditional French dessert with unknown origins; although it first appeared in 1733 in an English language cookbook written by French chef Vincent La Chapelle.  It was a wonderful rendition of the tri-layered dessert, with incredibly crumbly pastry that was light and buttery, although I did find the vanilla custard to be a little thick in comparison to the pastry (which fell apart to the touch).

I'd been watching with interest how the restaurant slowly filled, but was never quite full.  My initial experience when booking had been strange; I'd asked for a 7pm booking, only to be told that I could have 6:30 or 7:30; both times not really convenient.  It was almost another case of so-close-yet-so-far for our Belon meal, only after negotiating back and forth did we agree on a 7:15pm slot.

Either way, we arrived at 7pm and were shown straight to our table and to this day I'm super confused about the exchange.

Apart from the initial booking experience, service was superb on the night, the blue aproned staff were well engaged in the service and very knowledgeable and approachable.  There were  also nods towards the restaurant's fine dining pedigree with a small amuse bouche of comte cheesy puffs and a little gift box that contained sugar crusted short bread biscuits to take at the end of the meal.

I really enjoyed the food and the experience at Belon, but I would have to say that the meal was a little on the pricey side.  It also seemed to be the place to be seen in SoHo, with quite few well known chefs and restauranteurs dining and hanging out (coming and going through the course of our meal).  I could even see myself going back for a future visit, after all, we still need to check out the restaurant's signature dish of whole roasted chicken.

However, one small element bugs me....

What the heck happened to James Henry?!

We wish everything could show a stronger character than the gin itself. If you prefer something tropical, and refreshing, suggested is the Hendrick's Plum ($138), which sounds like an advanced version of mojito, with a hint of lime but one more secret ingredient- we guess it's ginger that soothingly warm our throat!

Akaroa king salmon with horseradish and walnuts ($198) was our table's great triumph.

Another winner goes to whey Granita with miso icecream and lemon. ($108) Lemon foam and meringue on top has lifted up the dessert and our taste bud get calmed down with a scope of savory miso icecream and lavender ice beneath. We love the idea how layers are planned but it seems all the flavours shine brightly at once and probably lost a focus but well, it's worth taking few more seconds to figure out all these complex yet creative combinations of flavours.

Belon is not just another any neo-Parisian bistro. Their kitchen is helmed by Chef James Henry, who's one of the hottest names in Paris with his previous work at Bones drawing raving reviews in the City of Light.

I managed to recruit my usual partner in crime, Agent-I who's in town for meeting this week. Since she's been real fed up with Singaporean food these days, the timing just couldn't get any better for the both of us.

I like a restaurant with a simple menu and that they have at Belon. The food menu generally features about 5 to 6 small bites, appetizers, main dishes and desserts and it changes on a weekly basis. Like most modern French bistros, most dishes are meant to be shared.

Our dinner started off with one of the house specialties - sea urchin and sweet potato waffle with smoked bacon cream ($78 per piece). I saw pictures of these on the social network last week and it really got me drooling for a week since I'm a huge sea urchin fan. However, I must admit I was slightly disappointed with the results.

I thought they had something going with the sea urchin and sweet potato waffle combination but right off the bat, I could tell it wasn't going to work for me. The waffle was way too soft and not nearly crispy enough for my liking. The sea urchin was alright but clearly not of the top notch quality I was expecting (Grade: 3/5).

Pain perdu with smoked eel and black radish ($58 per piece) was next. The pain perdu of course refers to the toasted bread on the bottom and that was nicely marinated with a roasted chicken sauce before they added toppings like smoked eel, black radish, pickled beetroot and granny smith.

This was better than the previous sea urchin and sweet potato waffle although the toasted bread was slightly too flavorful, which was a little too overpowering for the little piece of smoked eel (Grade: 3.5/5).

It's asparagus season so we were not all that surprised to see them featured in the current menu. As our server explained, they have these fresh asparagus shipped in from Pertuis, a small commune in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France where they are supposed to be famous for their asparagus.

So after hearing all the background information, Agent-I and I agreed to get for it. Personally, I love asparagus and I always believe its marriage with hollandaise sauce is a match made in heaven but smoked bonito?

Well, I actually thought the asparagus and smoked bonito meshed fairly well together (though Agent-I disagreed and thought it was weird.). My only complaint was perhaps they could be a little more generous there. For the price they're charging ($218 by the way), there's gotta be more than just the one piece of asparagus (Grade: 3.5/5).

Obviously this was very buttery. The spiced turnip on top was drawing mixed reviews from the two of us. While I thought it was a pretty innovative move, Agent-I believed it was a tad too spicy and she even went on to tell our server about it (Grade: 3/5).

One thing we did agree on was the best dish of the evening and that honor belonged to the beetroot salad ($128). This particular dish featured beetroots baked in salt and served with crushed walnuts and tête de Moine. I really enjoyed the salt baked beetroot slices and tête de Moine tremendously. Those two worked so well together. Very nice (Grade: 4/5).

We had a lot of food already so instead of having our own main dish, we decided to just share one together. We took a flyer on the market fish of the day which was baked flounder from Japan ($508).

While the mild-flavored flounder was sourced from Japan, the rest of the dishes was all local ingredients including garlic, chives, mint, green peas and watercress. Agent-I thought there was miso in there but I wasn't so sure. All I care was that it tasted good and I like the sauce which was very "Asian" (Grade: 3/5).

For the second week in a roll, I am having miso ice-cream ($108) for dessert. This time around, they elected to serve it with lemon meringue, lemon foam and lavender and whey granita. This has a very interesting mix of complicated flavors and textures; and without a question, very entertaining for our palates (Grade: 4/5).

While I enjoyed Chef Henry's modern take on French cooking, some of the dishes tonight were hit-and-miss for the both of us. And the fact that the bill came to around $900 per head, came as a bit of surprise considering what had been ordered (No expensive ingredient like wagyu, pigeon!). Some of those dishes looked really undersized and of course, that single-asparagus dish immediately came to mind.

Anyways, now that I've got Belon out of the way, I'm setting my sight on my next destination, which will be another new opening, Mercato by Jean Georges which is slated to open some time in May. If anyone has information on how to get a table, I am all ears.
