Freshly housed around the corner of Sheung Wan, right behind the busy Queen’s Road Central, Finger Print dishes up Japanese-meets-western cuisine in a stylish, cosy squeeze. Entrance is not as expensive as I thought (quite reasonable), priced at $180-240 for a 5 course menu ( appetizer, salad, main, rice & noodles, and Dessert) and all of its well thought out and presented dishes are well done.I love the ambience quite a lot.

I love the ambience quite a lot. A whole set of mirror along the wall simply gives us an easy yet luxurious sense of space. The only two seats near French window is amazing, allowing gentle sunlight passing through while watching the life out on the road. And for smokers, you are able to enjoy a luxurious cover outside the restaurant even it’s raining ( thanks to that well thought outdoor shelter and few ashtrays on the tiny bar table.Salad
To start with, we had its signature Fingerprint Salad at $110 with a mix of lettuce, tomato, a mouthful of crab meat and unexpected oriental veggies in sesame name, followed by a trio of appetizers, decently presented, including prawn cocktail , slices of sashimi and Burdock Stick tempura, which is like the root of veggies, with look and taste healthy.
SoupIt’s then followed by an amazing seafood-based steamed soup served individually in a “teapot”. Clear broth that exudes a very mild and delicate essence of the ocean. Serve yourself with the amount that you prefer, and don't forget those scallops, prawns and fish inside! A perfect way to get our palate ready for the upcoming dishes!
RiceWho doesn't want some sashimi and rice at a Japanese fusion restaurant? This assorted sashimi rice (with salmon, roe, tuna) has appeared to cater to these more delicate tastes! It’s 188 at dinner set or a la carte at $100)
MainsI opted for pan fried New Zealand Lamb Rack ($240) which is medium with a perfect pink. My partner picked something more adventurous, based on the name of the dish on the menu-buttered pork with whisky sauce. Marinated in an oriental way, pork exuded a mild sweetness from Whisky that amazingly enhanced the meat flavour without overpowering it. However I like the main course with a piece of meat and few garnish is far less - maybe we expected something that wow us as its appetizer did.
Next came to our table was a pot of chicken rice shared by two of us. All the broth essence has been soaked into the rice, that gave a very delicate flavor to the rice, sprinked with a pint of fresh spring union with a hint of freshness.
DessertOur meal was completed with a satisfying Red bean soup rice cake ($40), and today’s ice-cream ($50). Rice cake was slightly burnt outside that add complexity to this tiny plain dough smothered in a sea of red bean paste (texture’s a bit heavier than soup).
Verdict: a great new dine out spot with friends; worth a try for this innovative Japanese western fusion cuisine. The ever changing menu for every night is quite surprising, made good use of seasonal ingredients which without doubt, speaks for themselves. No 10% Service Charge (relax, their service is superb!)
