Opened in April 2014, Zen Too is the latest venture by the Zen International Group which operates upscale Chinese restaurants in China and internationally. Located in the new Causeway Bay dining destination, Soundwill Plaza II, the restaurant's interior is bright and spacious, with brass surfaces and modern furniture imbuing the space with a subtle sense of industrial chic.The restaurant serves a range of traditional, classic dishes as well as creative, re-invented Cantonese dishes.

The restaurant serves a range of traditional, classic dishes as well as creative, re-invented Cantonese dishes. The ambience is casual and laid-back, the staff are hardworking and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. The kitchen is helmed by head chef Kin Fung who boasts years of experience in preparing Chinese cuisine, and Jessica Leung, my childhood friend and a Le Cordon Bleu graduate, now helps her father Lawrence Leung run this new eatery as a director.
(1) We start the meal with a Zen Too Amuse-bouche ($88), a platter of three small appetisers - abalone on ice, herb marinated beef flank and shrimp roe and bean curd sheet tile. The appetisers are well executed and the flavours are spot on.
(2) Next, an elegantly named Jade Pearl ($38) arrives. A delicately cooked vegetarian dumpling is bathed in thick, sweet pumpkin broth, and it is light and soothing.
(3) The sweet and sour pork served in pineapple buns ($43) are decadent, but worth every calorie! The finely chopped sweet and sour pork is completely complementary with the crispy, crusty pineapple buns.
(4) The DIY beef flank curry pies ($73) are another guilty pleasure. It comes with a pot of Cantonese yellow beef flank curry and four flakey pastries, and the dish is DIY so that the pastries do not get soggy. These curry tarts simply delicious!
(5) For something lighter, a minced pork and preserved egg congee ($50) is ordered. The texture of the congee is perfectly smooth and thick, but the flavour is a tad bland.
(6) The black truffle seafood fried rice ($68) has a fantastic range of textures - the rice is nicely gelatinous, the shrimps are bouncy and the chopped vegetables add a delightful crunch. My only complaint is that the black truffle taste does not stand out, perhaps due to overheating of the black truffle paste.
(7) We move on to desserts, and the molten egg custard buns ($26) are fluffy and delicious.
(8) The mango and pomelo in sago ($29) has an appropriate level of sweetness, and is fruity and refreshing.
Zen Too is a great place for a casual, fun-filled Cantonese meal. I am definitely coming back for these playful, tasty dishes!
