(tel: 2810 0860) is finally open after months of delays. The first time we went it was a construction site, the second time we didn't know it was closed on Mondays. So it was third time lucky when we walked in before 7.30pm just as diners were filing in.
It has funky decor with mahjong tiles on the outside and near the open kitchen. Downstairs the dining area is dark with a supper club atmosphere.
Chef Jowett Yu has some creative ideas up his sleeve, but be warned, the dishes are spicy. We liked the wagyu steak tartare Yunnan style (above), the rather large portion of wagyu short ribs with jalapeno purée, and the shredded chicken salad with "strange flavour dressing". Really.
Perhaps a cold beer or at least a cold glass would help, and clearly marked prices for the draft beers would be appreciated.
Meanwhile, Castelo Concepts has opened (tel: 2525 1439) on Wyndham Street. It offers burgers, including one called "nudie rudie burger", ribs, fajitas and burritos.
The artisanal coffee scene in Hong Kong has been given a boost with the opening of (tel: 2523 1313) on Gough Street in Sheung Wan. The owners source single-origin beans for connoisseurs.
