Restaurant review: Moyo, Central - Korean-Italian fusion delicious

Korean-Italian doesn't sound like a winner, but the food was much better than expected and we preferred the fusion dishes.

kimchi disco fries (HK$88) sounds like an unlikely mess, with kimchi, onion, pork, cheese, sriracha and sour cream piled onto fries. But it was a delicious mess, with different flavours, textures and temperatures. Pesto rice cakes (HK$158) had a rich sauce combining pesto, seaweed and plenty of parmesan. The sauce was very salty if eaten on its own, but went well with the chewy rice cakes (although there weren't enough). Brown bossam (HK$198) wasn't the expected cold pork belly with lettuce wraps; instead, the tender belly was warm, with a light fermented bean paste sauce, pickled onions and delicious kimchi (different from the side dish).
