5 new restaurants around the Hong Kong Museum of Art in Tsim Sha Tsui you will love, whether you like theatre and ballet or not
New harbourfront restaurants cater to theatre and ballet crowds since the reopening of the Hong Kong Museum of Art
’Tis the season for theatre and ballet as festive productions are in full swing, and with the Hong Kong Museum of Art reopening, there has been an influx of new restaurants opening on the Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront, creating more choices for pre- or post-theatre dinners.
Hue, on the first floor of Hong Kong Museum of Art, marries gastronomic innovation from Down Under with down-to-earth friendly hospitality.
The 130-seat restaurant has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbour and executive chef Anthony Hammel selects the best seasonal ingredients from around the world. Hammel trained and worked with celebrity chef Mark Best at his two Sydney restaurants, and it shows with stand-out items.
Starters include beetroot salad with goats curd and smoked eel, and ocean trout with whipped cod roe, salmon eggs and fried potato. Mains include buffalo ricotta dumplings with broccolini and hazelnut brown butter sauce and aged duck breast with quince purée and black garlic sauce. Desserts include a coconut ice cream with white chocolate ganache and passion fruit and crème fraîche mousse with raspberry, rhubarb and Earl Grey tea ice cream.
Downstairs from Hue on the promenade is casual eatery INK, which is inspired by Sydney Harbour’s cafes and seafood bars. The 5,500 square foot semi-covered space is ideal for a quick fix before exploring the Museum of Art.
The menu features green curry New Zealand mussels, crayfish roll, oysters, tempura octopus fish balls, udon noodle salad and eggplant multigrain rice. The eatery makes its own soda and offers local beers as well as hot drinks.
