Dining at Cirqle was the final stop in a mini-food tour through Wong Chuk Hang on a glorious Thursday afternoon, and it proved to be an exceptional end to an already delightful day.
With a modern interior and more than adequate space, I chose a table near the kitchen, just to be nearer to the wonderful smells that had enlivened my senses upon entering the restaurant. This meal was to be just a smattering, a taste of the perceived decadence I’d viewed through multiple posts on Instagram. ‘If indeed the restaurant reaches the bar,’ I thought, ‘I’ll bring @Hangrywifey back for a complete pig-out.’
The menu was lovely! I flirted with the idea of trying their Beef Carpacchio (105HKD), Moroccan Spiced Swordfish Nicoise (298HKD) or Spatchcocked Spring Chicken (280HKD), but when I laid eyes on the Seared Pigeon (118HKD), I knew my choice had been made. While pigeon may feature in traditional cuisines in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, it is not a quintessentially North American food, aside from being served at French or Chinese restaurants as a delicacy. My curiosity was peaked, and so I ordered. I was go glad I did.

The pigeon itself came on a bed of Moroccan couscous, flavoured with fried chickpeas, raisins and a mildly spicy Marquez sausage. The couscous itself was light and airy, but the most delicious bite came from pairing the sausage together with the breast meat of the pigeon, which was moist and succulent, and far from gamey. ‘We have a winner on our hands’, I thought, and so I saved my very last bite as a repeat of the sausage/pigeon combination. I could have eaten another, it was so delicious. While the couscous pairs nicely with the pigeon, it wasn’t a necessary component of the dish, but still provided delightful carbohydrates nonetheless.
Cirqle exceeded my expectations, and provided a wonderful first gastronomic experience to a long list of things I’ve eaten. Much appreciated, and it seems I’ll be back, with @Hangrywifey next time!
