Japanese pop up. Set menu for HK$780 pp. Here’s what we had.
Broth with small pieces of Soft Shelled Turtle.
8 pieces of Sushi, being:-
Giant Needle Fish
Swordfish
Squid
Kagura Pepper
Grouper
Lean Tuna
FujiTrout
Vegetables topped with dried bottarga
Rice used was 'Kuro Shari', where no white sugar was used; and mixed with activated carbon from palm kernel shells, hence the black color. Supposedly more healthy with low GI value.
A choice of Miso Grilled salmon
Or Miyazaki A5 Tenderloin (Supplement of $220)
Nothing near half-full. Paid a supplement of $120 for a small bowl of Barachirashi (sashimi cubes on rice).
Dessert: Mochi with small pieces of renkon (lotus root) in the middle.
In summary: Didn’t really expect much for $780. But the “satisfying” level of this lunch was pitiful even by my standards. Not to mention the wobbly table, the Persistent mosquito, massive gap in between courses and the Grumpy waitress. The only positive thing was the excellent service from the young French waiter. Unfortunately his cheerful and helpful attitude had no effect on his colleagues.
Reminder to self: think twice before agreeing to attend any more “pop ups”.
