Tina Cellar a Hong Kong wine importer, spoke of her fondness for Xavier’s Chateauneuf du Pape wines when she first experienced it a decade ago by chance. The measure she has taken to finally convince and secure Xavier’s commitment from their tiny French village is a moving story to be told. Fast forward to 2013 and Tina is now their exclusive wine distributor in Hong Kong! Mr Xavier himself is a wine consultant for many big French wineries but his own Xavier Branded CdP are cropped from the best of old vines and recently got awarded 96 Points by Robert Parker Jr for one of his blended GSM wines. He has now collaborated with Michelin 2 Starred Alvin Leung’s Bo Innovation restaurant to blend a MSG (word play on GSM, Grenache Syrah Mourvedre) wine to pair with Alvin’s Asian fusion dishes.

Xavier’s progressive Blending Experiment on the Spot -
He just blended the 3 Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre with different proportions on the spot. They were all great actually but with very different start to finishing palates and tannin structure. Ability to age the wines is also taken into consideration by Xavier from his own experience with regards to acidity and tannins present. The last of these 3 transitional wine blends is going to be the 2010 Cuvee to work with Bo Innovation’s food.

When you try things with no expectations of what to expect, the outcome can most certainly be surprising. No? This was the mindset I had when Mr. C kept our dinner destination a 'secret' on Saturday night (mid November) and did not reveal where we were dining until an hour before. I do like surprises don't get me wrong, but I am the type of person to pour over reviews and the menu online deciding what I want to eat even though the dinner date is still a week away which always makes me anticipate

When you try things with no expectations of what to expect, the outcome can most certainly be surprising. No? This was the mindset I had when Mr. C kept our dinner destination a 'secret' on Saturday night (mid November) and did not reveal where we were dining until an hour before. I do like surprises don't get me wrong, but I am the type of person to pour over reviews and the menu online deciding what I want to eat even though the dinner date is still a week away which always makes me anticipate hence expect. This time, I had no time to research so when he revealed that we were going to Bo Innovation, I was quite intrigued.

Needing to take an elevator (or stairs if you prefer) up to Bo Innovation it opens up into the alfresco dining area and you are greeted by the hostess just outside the glass doors into the restaurant. Mr. C had specially requested seats at the bar table, so we could see the action inside the open kitchen. The open kitchen was quite small and seemed even more cramped with the amount of cooks and helpers bustling about. Among them, with his hair dyed a vivid red and wearing shades was the demon chef himself, Alvin Leung. Ruling the kitchen of this two Michelin star establishment he specialises in extreme Chinese cuisine, where he takes traditional Chinese dishes and uses innovative ways to tweak them into something different and exciting for his guests. I have to admit, I am not very keen on fusion, but remember no expectations.

Dining at the bar that night meant that we were automatically served the Chef's table menu, but for other guests they also have the choice of the Chef Menu or Tasting Menu. Instead of serving bread, they played with Hong Kong's culture of street food, by serving 'gai dan zai' complete with their own paper bag. Filled with cheese and iberico ham, the sweetness of the batter was pleasant with the savoury filling. It was quite addictve, both of us could not stop eating it, but I wish they served it hotter.

First to arrive was a single oyster on a bed of seaweed jelly, topped with a lime and spring onion sauce, and sprinkled with ginger snow. The oyster was fresh, slightly crunchy and had been steeped in 'xiaoshing' wine for two minutes prior to serving. So after the mild burn from the ginger snow had passed the fragrance of the wine still lingered on the tongue.

Next, a crispy taro nest basket cradling a quail's egg topped with Chinese caviar was placed in front of Mr. C, while for me since I do not enjoy fried food, I had a spoonful of vermicielli braised in a soy and morel sauce topped with chopped morel mushrooms. The vermicielli was nicely chewy and the earthy yet heady flavour from the mushrooms invaded the senses. It was a little too salty, but otherwise I quite liked it, while Mr. C said his tasted like the taro puffs you can eat at yum cha, but the caviar was quite good.

Two spoonfuls covered with a bubbly foam was served on top of a billowing steam, covered metal bowl. Essentially it was diced saba fish dressed in a sesame sauce with a ponzu flavoured foam. The steam coming from the bowl was actually rose scented and it made reference to how Hong Kong was once known as the 'fragrant harbour'. The saba was fresh with no fishiness and the citus flavour from the ponzu dressing helped open the appetite. Light and refreshing~

Since it is in season right now, they incorporated a hairy crab dish to their menu. Presented as a piping hot souffle, the crab meat was layered at the bottom while a mixture of the crab roe cream was on top. This was then drizzled with a little of the dark and thick chinkiang vinegar which had a touch of sweetness. I admit, this was the first time I had tried hairy crab, and while it was not the traditional messy way of eating it (even better for me
) the richness of the cream was really quite indulgent.

Traditionally, after eating hairy crab it is necessary to drink ginger tea to balance out the 'coolness'. In this case, we were subjected to a little gastronomic fun. A spoonful of ginger cream was immersed in a bowl of nitrogen cooled water and was served to us after it had hardened sufficiently. Termed as a ginger candy, we were instructed to drink a mouthful of water to prevent the candy from sticking to the mouth and to breathe out a puff of freezing cold air before allowing it to dissolve. It was very creamy, and the ginger flavour was warming and pleasant despite the coldness. Quite interesting.

A bamboo steamer was placed in front of us containing a square of fois gras topped with a bruleed 'zhou ye qing' liquor miso accompanied with a surprisingly big portion of bamboo shoot. The flavour of the fois gras with the sweetish miso was a good match, but there was sinew inside the fois gras which spoiled the texture. As for the bamboo shoot we were told to only eat the tender heart of the shoot and the natural flavour of the bamboo was pleasant while acting as a foil to the oiliness of the fois gras.

The presentation of the next dish was simple yet looked quite cute. Named as tomato, all three items on the plate showcased this element. Clockwise from the top: a tomato marshmallow, an heirloom tomato marinated in 'pat chun' vinegar and a pastry wrapped cherry tomato. It was suggested to eat the heirloom tomato first and luckily we decided to put the whole tomato in the mouth as it was so juicy that I was sure it would have dribbled everywhere if we took a bite. The sweetness of the 'pat chun' vinegar helped to enhance the depth of the tomato flavour and it was a such a pleasant combination~ The pastry wrapped tomato was not so much my liking as I found the pastry to be quite heavy and gluggy, while the cherry tomato inside was actually quite dry. I think I enjoyed the tomato marshmallow most as it was something very different, although it was akin to a puff of air, the tomato element was very concentrated leaving behind subtle tones of tangy and sweet. Very good.

For $480 we were able to add on an additional course consisting of 'cheong fun' wrapped duck egg smothered in yak cheese and sprinkled with Alba white truffles. This was something really worth eating. The duck egg was cooked perfectly, spilling a lake of gorgeous orange yolk as it was pierced. I would assume that some people may not be able to accept the strong flavour of the yak cheese, but to me it was really good, creamy and smooth, coupled with the richness of the yolk and the earthy fragrance of the white truffle it all made for such a decadent mouthful... Recommended~

When dining at Bo Innovation, one of the most talked about dishes is their signature xiao long bao. Unlike the traditional flour skin wrapped pork mince, this was done molecular style. Served as an ovoid shape, with a line of red ginger placed on top, it really did not look like anything special. But as always, looks can always deceive. Slippery smooth, the slight gelatin casing pierces easily releasing a gush of concentrated porky and gingery soup. To be honest, it did not really taste like a xiao long bao, but Mr. C was spot on in saying that it reminded him of the flavours of fake shark fin stew (wun zai chi).

One of the favourites of the evening was probably their version of a Taiwanese beef noodle soup. White and green strands of noodles made from daikon and chinese chives respectively twined at the bottom of the bowl, with a piece of truffled tendon and a cube of marbled blushing pink saga beef nestled on top. Over this, was poured an aromatic beef consomme which smelt marvelously of aniseed and all the herbs used in a beef noodle soup. The noodles were nicely chewy and the tendon was braised until it was so jelly-like that it just melted on the tongue. The saga beef, despite having a slight chewy texture was very flavourful with the marbling of fat adding that additional touch of richness. This was definitely an over the top version of a simple comfort dish, but wow it was amazing~

The final savoury dish on the menu was clay pot rice with organic 'long jiang' chicken. Made with 7 year aged Acquerello rice, it was cooked with a combination of chicken oil and stock with assorted mushrooms mixed into the rice. The chicken was presented as two circular slices laid on top of the rice, one had crispy skin (for Mr. C), while mine was steamed. The rice had an earthy aroma from the mushrooms and it really resembled risotto, big individual grains that were cooked till it had a slight bite and all held together by the creamy stock. The chicken was silkily tender and you could taste the natural essence of the meat. It was good, but I still prefer clay pot rice cooked in the traditional way.

Even after so many courses, we still had desserts to come~

The first was an almond panacotta with a berry compote served in a cute glass jar. What was unusual about this was that they had captured the smoke of sandalwood inside and it was suggested that we inhale the fragrance as we peeled off the foil cap. The smell was very strong, and it felt like we were inhaling incense at a temple, not really to my liking, but fortunately the actual edible part of the dessert was very good. The panacotta was so smooth and creamy with a delicate flavour of almonds while the compote gave a nice tart contrast to the sweetness of the pudding.

Next a small cup of ying yang was presented to us, an all-time favourite drink for Hongkys in cha chan tengs. Honestly speaking, I have never ordered one ever, but I knew that it was a mix of strong milk tea with coffee. The ying yang here was quite interesting, they separated the milk tea and coffee with a plastic partition which was pulled out prior to serving. Reason being, the coffee was cold while the milk tea was hot. We were told to sip right in the middle of both liquids and the sensation of cold and hot at the same time was quite quirky. I loved the creamy texture of the ying yang and surprisingly the flavour of the coffee and tea complemented each other perfectly, neither one overpowering the other. Very nice~

The last dessert before petite fours was a crispy fried milk with a banana foam and drizzled with caramel sauce infused with 'shui jing fang' rice wine. Since I try to abstain from eating fried foods, I just sampled the filling of the fried milk, which was quite gluggy with only a faint milky flavour. The foam was like a cold airy ice cream, with quite a strong banana flavour, but in general the dessert was not particularly captivating.

Lastly, we were served our petite fours. Instead of just a few Chinese-styled pastries, we were served eight different types! Six of them were perched prettily inside a cage-like stand while two of them being steamed items were placed inside a bamboo steamer. Inside the cage on the top tier from L-R: a chewy sweet cheong fun like roll made from osmanthus, next to it was a rose macaron and a layered dragon eye jelly with coconut. The bottom tier held a fried lotus seed sticky rice dumpling, red date marshmallow and mandarin chocolate truffle. Inside the steamer was a wolfberry, tian jin pear and blue cheese crystal bun and a fluffy chrysanthemum steamed sponge cake. To be honest, the petite fours were not really to my liking, they were too herbal-like in flavour and although the combinations sounded interesting they did not really work well on the tastebuds.

Despite the disappointing petite fours, it was an interesting dinner, one that is worth trying at least once. Service was quite attentive, and our server was adept at describing each dish and its components thoroughly.
No expectations, but really not bad~

Since I was previously complaining about the lack of exciting, truly innovative restaurants in town, I decided to try out Bo Innovation, the Michelin two-starred east-west-fusion restaurant with a little bit of molecular cooking here and there.

Fusion cuisine is often tricky, and when not done properly, often results in dishes that are peculiar and confusing. The reason I have been postponing my trip to Bo Innovation was that a lot of my friends have complained that the tasting menu was way overpriced, and that the portions were small. I decided to go easy and try out their Lunch Menu - this meant that I did not get to sample some of the signature items such as the molecular xiao long bao, but I guess you can’t have everything!

The Lunch Menu priced at $268 (+10%) per head will allow you to order two dim sums and one main course from the menu. The majority of the dim sums were delicious, and the infusion of Western ingredients into classic Chinese dishes enabled me to catch glimpses of Alvin Leung’s creativity at work.

(1) Our first dim sum was a “har gau” black truffle XO. The wrapper was chewy and gelatinous, and the shrimps were fresh and supple – the creative addition to this classic Chinese gar gau was the truffle shavings on top of it, and they worked perfectly!

(2) The foie gras potsticker was another traditional dim sum with an inventive edge. The potsticker was delightful, with a wrapper which was attractively thick and crunchy, and dipped in a sweet, alluring sauce. The addition of foie gras was well-received, but I wish the taste of it was stronger.

(3) Our third dim sum was a deep fried cuttlefish. The cuttlefish ball was beautifully deep fried and was served with a refreshing kaffir lime sauce, which tasted a bit like lemongrass and was in a pretty, playful apple-green colour.

(4) We were then presented with a chicken, pesto bamboo shoot spring roll. This dish scored high aesthetically, with edible flowers adorning the plate. The spring roll was impressively crunchy and scrumptious, even though the pesto taste was barely noticeable.

(5) For me, the cod ball was a real winner. Decadently soft and tender, the cod ball was dipped in extra virgin olive oil, which was not only harmonious with the cod fish but also gave a soothing, lingering aftertaste.

(6) The black truffle “cheung fun” was magnificently thin and delicate, and showed off the kitchen’s ability to make master classic Cantonese dim sums. The black truffle taste was strong and alluring; my only complaint was that it was a tad too salty.

(7) The first main course we tried was a slow cooked suckling pig, in Chinese vinegar. This was perhaps the weakest course of our meal. Even though the braised meat was thoroughly cooked to a perfect, soft texture, but the Chinese vinegar sauce was a bit peculiar – it was not sour at all, and was strangely bitter. Fortunately, the egg yolk, which was a solid ball that was still runny on the inside, was not only adorable to look at but also tasted scrumptious, and completely lifted our spirits!

(10) Since many people have complained that they left Bo Innovation feeling hungry (even for those who tried their Tasting Menus ranging from $880 to $1880), this “Starch” seemed to serve the sole purpose of filling diners up. Having said that, the rice had an attractive, chewy texture and the seasoning was spot on.

SPOILER ALERT – PLEASE DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE WHAT “SEX ON THE BEACH” LOOKS LIKE!

(12) Having heard many things about the provocative dessert, “Sex on the Beach”, I was truly excited to be able to finally try it. The dessert does not come with any set menu, and has to be ordered separately for $68, but it is worth a mention that it is a racy dessert for a good cause – the proceeds will be donated to Hong Kong Aids Foundation. As for the taste, the dessert was supposed to recreate the feeling of a beach on a summery day, and chef Alvin Leung thought that stepping on hot sand gave a stinging feeling to your feet, therefore, the crumbles were mixed with Sichuan peppers which produce a tingling sensation and a numbing aftertaste. The pink pouch was made of gelatin (which tasted a bit bland and was rather rubbery), and contained condensed milk inside. The bottom of the plate was layered with apricot jam, and there was a piece of sea shell made of white chocolate, which provided extra sweetness to the dessert; this was a dessert in which Alvin Leung’s restless creativity and thoughtfulness really shone through.

Dining at Bo Innovation was not only about the food, it was about the experience. Chef Alvin Leung took a bold step in combining old and new techniques and giving classic Chinese cooking a nudge forward, making Bo Innovation the place to go for a culinary adventure to tease and tantalize your taste buds.

一向對於賣相新奇有趣又或精緻的食物都感興趣(味道當然亦很重要),所以當友人建議這夜到Bo Innovation吃晚餐,我便立即贊成。之前只吃過這裡的午餐,雖然不太算'分子料理',但頗合口味,印象不錯。這次我們點的是chef's menu,有12 道菜加餐前小點心和餐後小甜品。店員的服務都很到位,表現專業有禮,對每一道菜都會仔細介紹。整夜各道菜式我們都喜歡和吃得開心,而其中最喜歡的有 -姜蔥蠔:看不到姜蔥,原來姜蔥已被做成冰粒狀,吃起來濃濃姜蔥味,有趣。配上冰凍鮮美生蠔,好好吃。梅菜鵝肝:這道菜用鵝肝代替了肥豬肉,原來效果很夾呢!梅菜被製成雪糕,配上煎香了的鵝肝,兩者一凍一熱一起在口腔中溶掉,美味。蝦麵配炸小龍蝦:店方自家制的蝦米茸很濃香蝦米味,而辣椒蝦油亦很香辣,撈著質感彈牙有咬口的麵條一起吃真是很好吃呢。小龍蝦的肉質結實味鮮,同樣很好吃。酸姜皮蛋:泡狀的酸姜皮蛋味道跟平常的狀態完全不一樣,但味道確實是實實在在的酸姜皮蛋。吃這道菜時眼看著杯中的泡泡不斷升,視覺效果是挺吸引的。小籠包:這個半圓球啫喱狀東東可算是這裡的招牌菜之一吧。從外表真的怎樣也不會跟小籠包有任何聯想。不過吃起來卻又能吃

菠蘿油雪糕配鴛鴦:甜品之一,有一個菠蘿油,但裡面的凍牛油換上牛奶雪糕,有趣的食法。旁邊有3粒經過不同處理(如胡椒、花椒等)的菠蘿粒,不過不失。還有一杯鴛鴦,一般的鴛鴦是奶茶配咖啡,而這個鴛鴦除了奶茶配咖啡外,還一邊冷一邊熱的配搭。夠新奇,不過無論奶茶還是咖啡味道都過淡了一點。

這個chef's menu $1380一位不包飲品,我們每人2杯酒加share了一瓶水,埋單要約$2000位不算便宜,偶爾一次不過分吧。總括來說,我們對整個用餐經驗都很滿意,絕對有興趣再來吃過。

We were proposed to seat at the bar to have dinner, because it was raining and there was no more place available. I've booked one week before and said it was for a birthday, we were well dressed, so no, we are not sitting at the bar !
The freezing temperature in the restaurant, the drops falling from the airco straight on the tables/clothes/plates, the wet towels in a little plastic bag, the waitress throwing the fork at my husband because she was too lazy to turn around the table, the waiter with dark roten teeth, waiting to get into the ladies toilets to see a man getting out of here, the even more freezing toilets... that's cheap.

Previous info gathering gave me the impression that this is a private kitchen (speakeasy) which means a little bit of secrecy and mystery. I arrived and realized it was very much an open public restaurant, which was perfectly fine with me as the setting was trendy and hip.

The first course was supposed to be oyster but we substituted with morel mushroom since neither me or my friend cared for raw oysters. The scallion ginger puree at the bottom was a deliberate touch of Hong Kong (finely chopped ginger and scallion that typically accompanies 燒味 ).

We then had the vermicelli wrapped in a spring roll skin and deep fried which was alright, and then the foie gras served with Chinese mustard green 梅菜 puree. The foie gras was tasty but with 梅菜? I would have liked the traditional western way of using a slice of bread that goes so well with foie gras.

The Xiao Long Bao and Lobster were what I considered the highlights of the evening. The BO Innovation's 小籠飽 takes molecular cuisine to a new height - truly amazing!
And the lobster topped with sea urchin were also a pleasant combination and gratifying.

Because the 小籠飽和海膽龍蝦配 were so satisfying, everything that followed were sort of an anti-climax
The bresse chicken and Pineapple Bun (molecular style) were pretty good.

Didn't care for the Pineapple with peppers which I though was weird,and the Petit Dim Sum were just so so although the presentation was spectacular.

But as in all molecular dining, so much effort goes into the preparation and presentation that often times the temperature hence 鑊氣 (or taste) is compromised. As we all know, we Chinese, who take so much pride in our wonderful and superb Chinese cuisine, place a lot of weight on 鑊氣 flavours. The feeling I got from my dining experience at BO is that all the beautiful dishes were prepared from a westerner's standpoint and taste.

And one more thing, although each waiter is very attentive and takes time in introducing each dish, but some of them need to speak clearer and be more articulate in introducing each dish if they want the customers to be sold/convinced on what they offer.

All and all it was a very memorable experience and worthy of a special occasion. I can see why this restaurant gets such high praises..

就在上星期蘇師父的節目中介紹皮蛋酸薑泡沫,突然醒起曾在這間米記二星的店內享用了一頓美味又滿足的午餐,便忽忽開始起筆。香港吃份子料理著實價錢不菲,往往都以西式為主,若以中式食物化作份子料理的店,真的廖廖可數或是沒有,但廚魔Alvin就能將之幻化成不可思議的形態,酷愛中菜的我實在太歡喜他的中菜西食的風格,很創新。由於午餐的關係,我與友人只選了Lunch Set,套餐內可選擇兩款點心及一款主菜,更包括了飯食及甜品,份量不多,但能品嚐廚師那份心思,真是值得尊敬。雖然很滿足,但這裡的名物份子小籠包豈能不吃,於是每人另加一粒。最先的是額外點的份子小籠包,賣相像一粒圓滑的拖肥朱古力,表面放有一條紅絲帶。可是實情是一粒份是鮮甜湯汁的小籠包,上面紅色的條狀物其實就是薑醋啫喱,味道像在吃小籠包一樣濃郁。雖說是湯汁,但像吃著有肉餡般濃郁的液體,感覺很實在,很美味。三份套餐當然是小吃多滋味,盡量滿足好奇心,便點了六款點心。先是黑松露腸粉,未到時遠遠已聞到濃郁的松露香氣。腸粉雖非滑溜,但軟中帶點煙靱,內裡還捲著無數的松露粒,無論在味道及香味兩方面,都以極強烈的滋味控制著客人,令人著迷。炸墨魚球質地爽口彈牙,更有

XO黑松露蝦餃來到時已被香氣吸引,以蝦餃的熱力將黑松露的香氣散發出來,接著便是以視覺效果來打動人心,黑白分明,再以點點啡黃色來點綴。最上面啡黃色的是XO醬,沒有一般的濕潤,反而是乾爽的,帶點辣味而口感脆身。接著便是份量十足的黑松露,香氣的最大來源。最後便是大大隻的蝦餃,皮雖厚,但餡料新鮮,XO黑松露配搭新穎,可是卻令平凡的蝦餃更上一層樓。

終於來到主菜,先是乞兒雞式煮法的法國鵪鶉,賣相已搶去不少分數。要將細小的鵪鶉起骨已有難度,更何況是醸入了金針及菇絲等材料,難度極高,後慢煎至金黃,吃時伴以蘭度豆泥來吃,感覺有點像吃八寶鴨,肉質依然嫩滑有彈性,若點上少許杞子炮製而成的甜酸汁,更創新的美味立時湧現出來。

第二道主菜是黃金深水龍蝦,以切碎的椰菜花拌以咸蛋黃漿包著深水龍蝦,吃時有食黃金蝦的影子,可是最特別的地方是咸蛋黃漿只是包在看得見的外層上,與碟子貼著的部份卻沒有沾上,實在太出奇了。肉質爽口彈牙,咸蛋黃漿咸度適宜,與蝦肉的鮮甜很配合,加上英式芥辣泡沫帶來的刺激,賣相與味道兼備。

最後的是鎮江醋慢煮乳豬,以煲仔呈上,內有一球以白菜仔盛上肉球,旁邊有個鵝黃色的蛋黃,極之搶眼。肉球以無數豬肉絲拼合而成,上面還以一塊豬皮包著,感覺像原塊的東坡肉般,看似簡單,實則已處理了多個步驟才成。豬皮依然爽口,豬肉則相當軟滑,雖以糖醋慢煮,可是酸味不重,還能從中嚐到肉的鮮味。嚐過後,更刺穿了蛋黃,讓肉球沾上蛋汁,吃來還多了一份蛋黃的香甜。

此時,侍應奉上了一碗很別緻的炒飯,份量真的很驚人,可是並不是指份量大,相反是少得令人不覺存在般。炒飯以欖菜、紅蘿蔔及乾蔥等炒成,份量雖小,但那美味卻深深刻在腦海中。飯粒分明,油份恰到好處,咸度亦適中,欖菜的鮮味表露無遺,從未嚐過如此可口的欖菜炒飯,可惜的只是份量太過稀少。

吃完整道套餐,已不經不覺間過了兩個小時,在午餐時間,如此細心品嚐料理,可是我的第一次,但這次的經歷卻非常珍貴,高質的料理真是難求,更何況是新奇創新、大膽前衛的料理呢,更是難能可貴。希望在不久的將來,能到來品嚐廚魔親手的精湛廚藝。

由於這個是Set Lunch,所以我們坐下後需要做的,就是呆等。

此時我們不斷在看Menu,其實也早在網上看過。Menu解說不多,只列出最基本的材料;至於如何料理,請多加想像力。未吃前,我們都知道名物如Molecular "xiao lung bao"和HK Egg Waffles會是怎麼樣;但至於其他菜式呢?雖然很是好奇,但事前還是忍忍「眼」,不翻看甚麼食評。我們想要的,是驚喜,是想細味食物,慢慢發掘出用料和調味。
小籠包在哪?

也等了十分鐘,第一道菜終於來了。Molecular: "xiao lung bao".「份子料理」這個詞,平時聽就聽得多,但還是今次首次一窺堂奧。

男經理呈上的時候,很耐心的細述這個「小籠包」的做法和味道。我是很喜歡他的解說。他建議,要一口吃了這個超濃縮的小籠包。

我承認我有點先入為主-吃了這麼多年小籠包,我還是喜歡那吃小籠包的過程-小心奕奕地用筷子夾住小籠包的摺口位,然後輕輕咬開頂部,先品嚐那爆出來又溫熱濃郁的湯汁,再根據個人喜好,加點紅醋去提味,再把一小塊混了點肥肉的豬肉連有韌勁的皮一起吃。

然而那個細緻又感性的過程,現在已濃縮做一個圓形的小物-紅醋化身為鋪在「小籠包」上面的紅色條狀物;包著有著豬肉味的超濃縮液體表皮是加了海藻酸鈉,所以咬感也是很爽脆的。

整體味道就和一個小籠包沒有分別,但正如大佬B說,也許外國人會很喜歡這個,但我們吃了後就只得「哦」這個感想...
Risotto = Cauliflower?!

食完後,就來第2道菜-Risotto: Cauliflower, black truffle, duck jus

初頭還以為是真的吃到Risotto,等到呈上的時候才知道別有洞天-所指的Risotto其實是Diced Cauliflower,而椰菜花又分別以2種姿態出現-第1種是混合了黑松露 (正中);第2種則是以醋醃過的 (左側)。

每樣材料的原味我們也很熟識,但當他們相遇、再混合起來互相配搭起來時,又是怎麼樣呢?每個組合都試試,就是這頓飯的樂趣。

Presentation是很引人入勝的-活像一個宇宙體系,啡色的Duck Jus就是行星環。

呈上的是另一位女經理又詳細的講解了這道菜的製法和材料,不過她說得超快,聲量又細,我同大佬B都唔係好聽到佢講乜。算,自己食仲有趣!


先吃混合了Black Truffle的椰菜花碎。 椰菜花碎的質感很突出,沒有煮得過稔。黑松露香氣十足,為平淡的椰菜花添了不少色彩!橙黃色的是鹹蛋黃醬,真材實料,打得幼滑,與混了黑松露的椰菜花碎一同吃幾夾;鴨汁甜甜地,但較為杰身,椰菜花碎不容易蘸到。又,畢竟黑松露太霸道,鴨汁實在無用武之地,是為雞肋也。

至於右側的白色醬料是甚麼?我們嚐了好久都嚐不出。最後問了經理,才知道原來是Honey Foam!之後又再嚐,但怎樣也嚐不出來,哈哈,不過倒覺得它打得很綿滑,為這道菜添加了層次。至於Pickled Cauliflower則有驚喜-皆因它最能活化我的味蕾,而又最忠於椰菜花的原味。

第3道菜是Har Mi: lo mein, chilli, sage

簡單來說,這就是「蝦麵」,而Lo Mein就是「撈麵」。今次又輪到男經理Serve了。在Serve蝦麵同時,他同時遞上了2樽以蝦為基調的調味料來,然後作出詳盡的介紹。他大概是說,香港是個漁港,蝦與香港有著密不分割的關係。左面的是自家製的蝦鬆,用上了Air-dry的技術風乾;右面的則是自家製的辣蝦油。

其實「蝦麵」是整個Set Lunch最令我難忘的一道菜。一直以來,都覺得麵食是粗食,就算細緻如雲吞麵的「細蓉」也好,我都覺得麵條就只是麵條,吃就是為了飽肚。也許這個「蝦麵」份量小,沒有浸湯,我也放慢腳步細細去欣賞它。

這個蝦麵同樣是師傅自家製的。麵有別於平時吃到的撈麵,是真正的乾身;硬度就是Al Dente,更甚是嚐到麵條的麥香味!又每條麵條都均勻地沾上了不少蟹子,每一口定必咬到,為層次感昇華。最精彩的,莫過於是加了蝦鬆和辣蝦油之後。雖然兩者的味道都不突出,但蝦鬆加強了蝦麵的整體香氣;辣蝦油 (雖然我覺得它完全不辣) 就為乾身的蝦麵增添濕潤感。把一小箸蝦麵放入口中,盡是蝦的鮮味,蝦香滿盈於口腥。但就是這樣少,我都捨不得吃了!
甜酸苦辣鮮,就是人生五味。禪也。

吃完後,第4道菜-Scallop: kaffir lime, kyoho grape, passion fruit, shichimi potato就來了。光看Menu關於材料介紹,只覺得九唔搭八-帶子搭泰式青檸、日本巨峰、熱情果和七味唐辛子薯仔?

但看到這樣的Presentation後,又覺得這道菜別有禪意。

侍應呈上來時,我先嗅到那剛煎起的帶子的香味,先令人垂涎三尺;然後Presentation是很有趣的:中間那個包著七味唐辛子薯仔Foam的薄春卷圓筒,就活像一節竹;帶子就像石頭;加埋四周的醬料看上去,就像一個太極圖。

首先要稱讚一下師傅的功力。這個帶子煎得很香之餘,我用刀切開,竟發現中心是很嫩滑,是一點點的生!要做到外脆內嫩真的不容易吧!

我就逐少逐少切點帶子,再蘸不同的醬汁去品嚐這道菜。最特別莫過於那泰式青檸醬,我還以為是超級酸,但卻是苦中帶一點點的甘香,很有趣!熱情果醬就沒有甚麼特別,只是那熱情果籽添加咬感。

其實一邊吃,一邊開始感受到原創者的創意:他應該是想透過不同食材去帶出「甜酸苦辣鮮」這5種味覺!不就是很禪很玄妙嗎?甜是巨峰啫喱,酸是熱情果籽,苦是青檸醬,鮮是帶子...那辣呢?

辣就當然是那添和了七味粉的馬鈴薯泡沬。我放到最後才吃這個,不過可惜的是,那時候氣泡已開始下塌!趕快一整個放進口大快朵頤。幸好那薄薄的春卷皮還很脆口。至於馬鈴薯泡沬則打得超滑溜,放進口腔滿是薯仔及牛油的香味...然而正當我一邊食一邊在想,為甚麼嚐不出唐辛子的辣味、快要把它嚥下時,那辣味竟然開始湧上來!直到吞下之後好幾秒,喉嚨還有炙熱的感覺!妙!

嚐過精彩的頭盤之後,主菜就來了,其實也開始有飽肚感。第5道菜是Quail: "beggar style", lentil, wolfberry chutney,是乞兒燒鵪鶉配蘭度豆,配紅棗汁。

相比前一道菜,當然就沒有這樣精彩,不過用料我相信是精挑細選。那鵪鶉不論是腿部,還是Body又好,都同樣是嫩滑但又有少少彈牙,令人感受到它 (生前...)的生命力。

你以為蘭度豆就只是配菜嗎?其實不然。它就好像是混和了綠豆,再揉成半豆泥,而最有趣的時,它竟然有飲涼茶回甘那味道!妙也!

一路食個鵪鶉Body,竟發現有些Stuffed Mushroom,驚喜!可惜是那紅棗醬不突出,對整道菜的貢獻很有限。
HK Egg Waffles (Luxury)

不經不覺就來到第6道菜 - HK Egg Waffles: black truffle, condensed milk, pine nuts。終於來到尾聲要吃甜品了。其實之前在網上的甜品不是這個,但剛好早一天見到一電視節目中介紹這裡自家製的黑松露雞蛋仔,甚感興趣。

雞蛋仔是個代表性很強的香港平民小吃,然而加了大廚的創意,這裡的雞蛋仔就變得高貴!又金箔又黑松露,實在所向披靡。然而我是覺得黑松露在這頓午餐出現次數太頻密,可知黑松露性格雖然又香又高貴,但性格剛烈,有你就冇我。雖然吃完這個甜品後,黑松露的香氣縈繞於口腔,但它實在很霸道,令我嚐不出雪糕有沒有煉奶味,雞蛋仔有沒有蛋香味...

雞蛋仔就只有4粒,我是覺得有點少。雞蛋仔非常脆身,內裡則是如上圖所見,是半中空的。雪糕也是滑溜的,加埋松子粒食,脆脆地幾過癮,但我真的真的嚐不出有煉奶味!

總的來說,我覺得這頓午餐算是物超所值。食物我是很滿意,材料配搭很具創意,服務也不錯,尤以男經理的解說最為詳細清楚。回家後在YouTube看了一些關於廚魔Alvin Leung的訪問,很喜歡他辦餐館的意念-為了顛覆人們對食物固有的印象,為他們帶來驚喜,使之對「食」的態度更為開放。

希望下次來的時候會見到廚魔真人,一嚐Chef's Table!

Having heard a lot about this place and being it the 64th best restaurant in the world, we were really excited to finally be able to go here on a Saturday night.

Having heard a lot about this place and being it the 64th best restaurant in the world, we were really excited to finally be able to go here on a Saturday night. When we got there, the place was still rather quiet and since it was too cold, we decided that sitting inside would probably be the best option.

We were served by a bunch of really well mannered servers and all of them were very attentive. In fact, we came to a conclusion that they spoke way too much. If the food was that good, the food would actually be able to show off itself; instead of having the waiters explain a whole story to us.

We were told that the whole table should go for the same menu, as it would be easier to make and avoid any allergies if there was any. So we all stuck to the ‘tasting menu’ ($880 per person). As for the mains, you had to add an extra $500 or $800 for the kobe beef, for a 4oz or 8oz, respectively.
I decided to go with the pigeon and another friend went with the kobe. The other two guys went with the suckling pig, which turned out to be a regular ‘siu yuk’ from the market…but I wouldn’t deny that it tasted twice as good! However, the skin was not as thick and crispy compared to a traditional one we got at a normal ‘siu mei’ restaurant.

First up for the appetizers were a set of tomatoes, eaten in 3 ways. First was a very juicy red tomato, second was a tomato wrapped in fried ‘wonton’ wrap and third was tomato puree made in a foamy/ cotton way – very smart indeed!

One of the most impressive dishes was the Centurian egg- this came in a form of a drink. It was as liquidy paste (with the taste of Centurian egg and vinegar) added with some dried ice. With this, bubbles formed and started foaming up. The way to eat it was to use the spoon and gently pick up the bubbles and put it in your mouth. It was apparently just to cleanse your mouth a bit.

One of the best appetizers was definitely the pan-fried scallop with fried seaweed. On the side, it came with some sweet mint sauce, sour sauce and a wasabi tomato puree sauce. With it, there were some grape jelly that was used to cleanse your pallet a little.

Finally with the mains: I ordered the pigeon which was cooked in a sous-vide way. It was cooked perfectly with the red colour still on the inside. However, it was a little hard to cut, but once chewed, it was really soft.
With the suckling pig – it was little of a disappointment. Didn’t look like the thing I would imagine it to be. Infact, it just seemed like a ‘siu mei’ that was picked up on the streets for $20. Not only that, but the stuff you get outside would prob be a lot more!
The kobe beef my friend had looked amazing. It came with 3 strips of beef (4oz) and 3 ‘cheung funs’ which had white truffle filling in it. (extra $500)

Desserts:
It was called a ‘Pineapple’ tart or something. I was imagining it to be a real tart made with pineapple. But to my disappointment…it was the a ‘bor lor bao’ look alike that we have for breakfast, sold at $5 a piece or $15-$20 for 3 pieces at yumcha/ Chinese dim sum places. Their pineapple tart had the top part of the ‘bor lor bao’ and beneath it was a scoop of thick ice cream/ cream cheese material. The taste was really good and ice cold. However, the top of the pineapple was a disappointment. I’d say that the normal $5 tasted much better than Bo Inno had.

Lastly, with the petit fours/ petit DIM SUM:
We were served with a basket of traditional Chinese goodies, which contained white rabbit candy, jelly candy and some iced gems.
In the other basket, it came with 3 different types of goodies, with a set of TWO. However, don’t forget there was 4 of us. This means that we couldn’t have tried out everything. I think they should really think carefully of the amount they give out to people. Although sharing is caring, but the chocolate is too small to share. I tried a chocolate that was ‘kum gwat’ flavor. Not my favorite, but it was something different. Beneath the goodies, was a bed of small biscuit chocolates that was irresistible.

Last thoughts:
We thought that the way they presented the food was far too detailed. With the price for the food, it can really shine and show off itself to the person who is eating it. In addition, rather than introducing the way the food is cooked, they can explain a little more detail of the Chinese history and why ‘rabbit’ candy is so famous.
We thought that the waiters were too attentive and spoke way too much!

Overall, the place was relaxing and definitely great for a first date and small gathering. It is prob a good place to visit if you’ve never been, but definitely not a place I’d go again.
In total, the price came to about $5000 for 4 people (we also ordered a bottle of white wine).

It all started some 3 years ago when the first HK Michelin Guide was released and I spotted this Michelin 2 stars restaurant right on! Molecular gastronomy was pretty new at that time and attracted much attention worldwide. I was really curious about this restaurant and wanted to try it so much. However, I reckon this is a fine dining and interesting experience that I really want to share with someone special who appreciates fine food and dining experience as much as I do. I was lucky enough

It all started some 3 years ago when the first HK Michelin Guide was released and I spotted this Michelin 2 stars restaurant right on! Molecular gastronomy was pretty new at that time and attracted much attention worldwide. I was really curious about this restaurant and wanted to try it so much. However, I reckon this is a fine dining and interesting experience that I really want to share with someone special who appreciates fine food and dining experience as much as I do. I was lucky enough to able to meet this someone and finally we had a delightful dinner here last night.

Bo Innovation is not like some other fine dining places which are notorious for being very difficult to book (e.g. Macau Robuchon, Tosca etc). We called to make a booking a few days ago and still managed to get a table at the prime dining time on a saturday night.

We ordered the tasting menu as this is the only set that comes with the Japanese wagyu beef which we would love to try. Important to mention is that their specialists explain each dish to us (how it was made and what it is made of) to enhance the experience.

The first appetizer is HK style pancake~ I have always had a special fondness for kai dan jai since I was a child. However, this kai dan jai is salty with bits of beacons inside. I think it's interesting although I would say HK style pancake is better sweet than salty. However, this is good enough as a supplement for bread.

The second appetizer is Tomato cooked in three ways - cherry tomato slow-cooked with pak chun sweet vinegar, crispy tomato with lam kok puree and tomato mashamellow with chinese parsley oil. The best is the cherry tomato, it was really fresh and when you bite it, the fresh tomato juice mixed with the sweet vinegar burst out and fill your mouth with freshness and sweetness with a hint of sourness. REally refreshing. the mashamellow is interesting... however the texture is actually more like a thick foam instead of the texture of the real candy mashamellow. it has weak tomato taste and strong parsley oil taste.

The third one is Iberico 36 - italian boar ham preserved for 36 months, wrapping Korean vermicelli cooked in morel sauce. There is some foam on top of the whole thing but I forgot what it was made of. This is one of my favorite dish because the ham was really good. The saltiness and fatness is just right. And I liked that it is not very thin cut (unlike parma ham), so a bite size of the whole thing is already very satisfying. The vermicelli has mild morel (fungus) taste that compliments the saltiness of the ham. Very good!

And then follows by Foie Gras - a must have in all fine dining menus and my all time favorite! The foie gras was cooked in the hk style bbq pork way with caramel in replacement of the bbq sauce. There is a mui choy (chinese preserved vegetables) ice-cream as side. I think the dish is great and daring. It is daring to mix mui choy with foie gras, who could have thought the two so remotely related food can mix together? I think the effect is good. We would not say foie gras goes better with mui choy than caramelised apple (which is typical side for foie gras in french cuisine). But I think the tastes of mui choy and foie gras do compliment each other. And of course the fact that the mui choy is ice cream helps to dilute the grease of the foie gras. For the foie gras, I do not think it tastes much different from pan fried foie gras. But the texture is quite "firm" - you can cut it into pieces without some tiny pieces lingering between (which normally happens for pan fried - as the sides are cooked but the interior are not as cooked). I like it!

The fifth one is the Cod fish. I think this one is the least impressive. There is some fried seaweed on top, some edible flowers and some jelly (which I forgot the flavor) as sides. But the cod fish still taste like cod fish. It is tender, but I guess that's it. The presentation is lovely though.

Then the Molecular (Xiao Long Bao) - they extracted essence from xiao long bao ingredients (pork, soup and pak choy) and wrapped the essence inside a transparent thin skin made from edible chemical. The pink thing on the top is a slice of ginger soaked in vinegar. It is of course interesting and is one of their most famous award winning dish. I must say xiao long bao's taste itself is not very distinctive (just think, a lot of shanghainese buns and dumplings actually have ingredients that taste like those of xiao long bao). So, if they do not specify the dish is related ot xiao long bao, I would not have associated the two things together. But with their introduction in mind, the "dumpling" does taste like xiao long bao made in an innovative dumpling skin. I appreciate the idea much. Again, its all about the idea. I bet a lot of people would find crystal jade's xiao long bao taste much better than this dish as xiao long bao. But I guess the point is not to make the most delicious xiao long bao. Also, the content inside the skin cannot be too hot such that the chemical skin would not burst. So cant really expect this dish to taste like a delicious xiao long bao with hot pork juice bursting out.

The seventh appetizer is the Scallop with lime leaf sauce (bitter), grape jelly (sweet), passionfruit juice (sour) and shichimi potato (spicy). The dish has the cheesy meaning of presenting the flavors of life (sweet sour bitter spicy). The scallop is very well cooked, the sides are crispy and the interior is still raw like sahimi. I certainly loved the grape jelly as I like sweet things. The lime leaf sauce is not bitter enough, but it is very refreshing. The presentation is alos very good with all the colours.

This one is Century Egg - a very playful dish. We were forewarned that this dish is just for fun and not for taste. Haha basically there is nothing you could chew or drink. The bottom part is sauce made from preserved egg and ginger soaked in vinegar, they then put some dry ice into it such that bubbles formed from the carbon dioxide with the taste of the sauce - all you do is to spoon the bubbles and taste them. The bubbles kept forming and bursting - a very dynamic dish. And unlike the xiao long bao, preserved egg and vinegarised ginger do have a distinctive taste so I could easily recognise that even just taste the bubbles. It's fun!

Finally, after eight dishes of appetizers, here comes the main. We chose the Saga-gyu Beef (the Japanese wagyu beef, grade 4) (HKD500 supplement) and the pigeon (HKD150 supplement). The beef is quite pricey but I do not think it is outrageous. The beef is very tender and soft (because of all the fat it has!) The beef itself is very good, so I do not think it is difficult to make a good dish from it. It comes with cheung fun (chinese vermicelli roll) in black truffle sauce. Yea cheung fun is nice. haha but the beef does trigger us to look for some fries after the dinner... Pigeon is nice, they chop it into sever pieces and bones removed. Again, pigeon is itself tasty, so not very difficult to make a good dish from it.

But yea both are very satisfying choices of main.

The dessert is pineapple crust (the pineapple crust you can find in pineapple bun, but this one is much more crispy), with butter cream ice cream and three pieces of pineapples with different spices., and pineapple puree. It's delightful! but the most impressive thing is the yuen yeung drink (mix of milk tea and coffee) - they managed to keep the coffee cold on one side and the milk tea hot on the other, together in the cup! It's the best yuen yeung I have ever tried!!! We are so curious how this could be done (how the two liquids would not mix together) but of course it's trade secret!

Another dessert is banana ma lai go and some homemade chocolates and macroons and some traditional hk candies and biscuits. IT's interesting. Although I cant finish all, but I did take away the bak to candy (Big rabbit candy)... hehe remind me so much of my childhood!

In summary, it's a great experience that I would recommend anyone who is into dining to try. They use fine ingredients, cook well, in innovative ways and adopt a lot of hk style cuisine elements in designing the dish. This idea is good to local like me as it reminds me of my childhood and the hk cuisine elements they adopt are those a lof of hk people love. It is also good to foreigners, visitors as they could experience hk cuisine and molecular gastronomy - one stone 2 birds!

Since this was ranked as ** Michelin HK restaurant, I've always thinking of trying this interesting restuarant (it claimed itself X-treme Chinese restaurant but is actually providing molecular cuisine). Been there in a nice sunshine noon (pre-booking is needed as i didn't see any customer walk-in to get table, all pre-booked). The restaurant lay out is modern and stylish. All decorated in white makes people comfortable and refreshing in this crowded city. Choose the Bo set lunch (chef lunch set

Since this was ranked as ** Michelin HK restaurant, I've always thinking of trying this interesting restuarant (it claimed itself X-treme Chinese restaurant but is actually providing molecular cuisine). Been there in a nice sunshine noon (pre-booking is needed as i didn't see any customer walk-in to get table, all pre-booked). The restaurant lay out is modern and stylish. All decorated in white makes people comfortable and refreshing in this crowded city.

Choose the Bo set lunch (chef lunch set is $680+10% too luxury for work-day lunch).

Starter, we choose below 4 dim sum/bo dish to share (each set can choose two)
1) ox tail "Xiao long bao" avruga caviar: very special and tasty
2) deep fried scallop balls- very delicious
3) Lap Mei Fan- although a bit too salty, it's really unexpected combination and carry the spirit of moculure dish
4) Black truffle " cheung fun" - the worst of four, no flavour

Main dish:
I choose cooked pork lasagna in Chinese Vinegar egg. - very good try, not oily at all,
friend choose bilottline of chiken beggar Style- he said it's good too and the portion is very generous.
The cold fried rice served with main dish makes me at loss. Looking at last night dinner left over

Dessert:
Mini ice-cream cone (ginger flavour) + Jiandui with chocolate, ice-cream is tasty and special (a bit spicy and salty but freshing). Jiandui is soso (friend doesn't like it at all).

Service: there's one waiter (maybe he's one in charge) very nice and patient to introduce most of dish's character/cooking process to us with his recommendation. very professional. But some waiters are cold in attitude and sometimes ignore our request.

But overall $200 for this special relaxing lunch in ** michelin restaurant is for sure worthwhile. I may consider try again with some other choices (there're around 12 starter and 6 main courses choices available but some of signal dish need supplement from $30-300 individually).

Only pity is that i forgot to take photos at this amazing lunch. Definitely another good reason to return again.
