Asian-style tapas. Futuristic décor with comfortable sofa areas, pulsating music and a stunning view - if it's a clear day. HK$1,991 for two including drinks. Friends and colleagues for a night out. The menu features Asian-style tapas that started with a different take on caviar presentations where an egg custard was placed on a blini, egg white "pearls" around it and then topped with Oscietra caviar. Next were pieces of squid in a glass bowl with pickled baby beetroot and radish, with mizuna finished with the delicate hint of coconut foam as well as pan-seared foie gras with yuzu sorbet, apple chip and brioche. Things warmed up with the spicy prawn bisque with crunchiness from the pistachio, and we also savoured the seared yellow fin tuna belly, smooth with slices of braised daikon, jalapeno and ponzu. Mini wagyu beef burgers hit the spot, as well as warm chocolate tartlets. We loved the smoky presentation of the home-made smoked Scottish salmon but the accompanying rice purée didn't do much for the taste. Mini mochi with red bean and peppermint didn't have much flavour, perhaps because of their small size. An extensive variety of cocktails, wines and Champagnes. The gin and tonic with honey yuzu marmalade was refreshing.
