Since I moved to Wan Chai, I eat in the neighbourhood every day, and almost never ventured elsewhere. So, I took the opportunity of celebrating my bf's bday and finally made it "out of district" 出城!!Although I have been reading mixed review on Miyabi, it is undeniable that everyone loves the great view from the restaurant, so I specially requested window seats. Window seat is of limited supply and I wasn't going to get one. But the restaurant staff were very helpful, they were able to accomodate
Although I have been reading mixed review on Miyabi, it is undeniable that everyone loves the great view from the restaurant, so I specially requested window seats.

It was definitely a fine-dining experience, from the minute you approach the host, they treated you with warmth, smile and politeness.
We were seated by the window as my wish, and we were immediately immersed into the beautiful night scene of Hong Kong Island.
We wanted to try as many dishes as possible, so we ordered a "tasting menu", which includes, starters, sashimi, sushi, tempura, grilled alaskan crab leg, kobe beef and noodle (with the choice of cold or hot). Our server recommended the seasonal Watari crab (female version of 松葉蟹) and 象拔蚌刺身.
The whole dining experience was wonderful and each dish was nicely presented. There isn't much to complain. But I must highlight the two dishes recommended by our server. It was very good choice!
Watari crab - the whole crab was "deboned" and the yolk, roe and meat were stuffed back into the shell of the crab and severed on top of a bowl of ice. Clear vinegar was provided for seasoning. It was my best crab-eating experience thus far and we savor each bite of the yolk while sipping on our sake.
象拔蚌刺身 was served next. The server mentioned this is japanese 象拔蚌 and therefore the size is smaller but the meat is sweeter. NO COMPLAIN!!! Fresh, sweet, succulent!!
We had 2 bottles of sake with this meal. The first bottle was mid-range sake served chilled. The second bottle is supposed to be a lot better and smoother cos the sake-maker only used 2/3 of the rice grain to make this sake. The restaurant manager recommended us to drink it in white wine glass. The sake was indeed much better than the first one, its frangrant lingered in the mouth after it smoothly went down my throat.
The bill was $$$$$, but considering the excellent view and the great service we've had, I wouldn't regret taking my bf here for his bday.
