There is a Chinese saying, 有朋自远方来, 不亦乐孚... What started off with a gathering of friends, quickly turned into a 4-course extravaganza when we met up at CLUB CHOW.At first the name struck odd, as this is a Western fine dining restaurant, with a rather Chinese name. The owners quickly filled us in, that their vision is to deliver an experience of food and community.

At first the name struck odd, as this is a Western fine dining restaurant, with a rather Chinese name. The owners quickly filled us in, that their vision is to deliver an experience of food and community. Hence CLUB (for community) and CHOW (for food and the last name of the owners).
The space is private and cozy on the 9th floor of the much-heralded Pemberton, heart of the "new" SOHO. The 4-course set from appetizer to dessert gives the perfect setting for us to catch up from our days apart!
As we had quite a few dishes, the highlights:
Appetizer:
Blue mussels in cream sauce - This is quite different than what we had in Paris. The broth is thicker, but for me this is really to fuse the sauce with the fresh mussels. Most times I find restaurants just kills the dish by simply boiling the mussels in light, tasteless broth.
Soup:
Clam chowder - Reminds me of Seattle. Big clams and chunky diced goodies. Must-try!
Main:
Lobster Risotto - Highly recommended by the service staff. The risotto does not have the red glaze like most, but I guess at the end of the day, the taste is what matters. I must say the risotto has already tailored to the Asian palate, as it's done just perfectly.
My friend had the 12oz steak and he said it's one of the best in Hong Kong! It looked awesome and will definitely return to try.
Dessert:I had the chocolate fondant which is along with my expectation. But the host let us try one of their specialty cakes sourced within Sheung Wan.
It tasted as good as it looked! Apparently, CLUB CHOW is lining up the best foods across the Sheung Wan region, to bring the community to the guests to enjoy. Which brings me to the point that meals are more like a routine now in Hong Kong as everyone's just so busy with everything else. Make your meal an occasion always!
Thank you CLUB CHOW for making this an occasion for us!
