It's been a while this new 'crystal' restaurant & bar open in Central, LKF; I was there two weekends for the great dinner and for their grand opening. Love almost everywhere of this new restaurant in the town, from the lovely entrance with a gorgeous open-kitchen view; the seamless night view of HK island/Central while you are seated along the window (it's almost 270 degree); the cute tiny terrace on the 23rd floor where I enjoyed the 'wet' breeze from the typical HK summer; and most importantly, it is their awesome and nice service crew busy around the dining area and bar area with the yummy dishes crossing the whole space.
How can you miss a breath-taking chance to enjoy the beautiful shiny night view in Hongkong?! even it's a tiny square place for max. 10 pax; I definitely not care about that! We were arriving a bit in the middle of the dinner time, which offers us a perfect chance to enjoy a private breath in the terrace. Look up, I was expecting the coming C'est La Vie; look farther, I was recalling so much good memories about Hongkong Island.
Cocktails of Townhouse, you should try without doubt, and not end up with only one, better two or three >3<
The reason is the perfect and attractive modern-style all their cocktails offer, which is soooooo cool; we seriously appreciate it's not a shitty one with over-run syrup or juice but every ingredient in a balance and perfect match.
For the guys, don't be shy to hold a beautiful cocktail glass, I would like to recommend the bacon-inspired 'spicy' cocktail, to be cooler :D
The menu of Townhouse is more in a causal dining way with a twist of Westerner and Asians. Therefore, the menu is designed into Small Bites, Big Bites and Main Course. For us, we just found the small bites are actually more interesting and having higher chance to be picked up!
Well, I'm just getting into their cute little colorful bowls with a lot Asian element a lot. The truffle chips, would always be a right option for a casual chicken-talk night; plus it's served super hot and fried in a perfect way. The spicy squid with the special spicy sweet cream sauce is awesome as well.
Evil bites with a lot of fried stuff, of course, we won't forget to get balance from refreshing salad. Apart from the normal salads, we chose the fruity and nutty one with roasted duck as well. It was just awesome and wowed us. We really love the slightly roasted pine nuts which give the extra warm flavor and smell to the whole dish; and the sweet soft mango inside was 'killing' us over the night.
A little concept input from Southeast Asian's sweet food culture, there's also a list of screws (quite expensive to be honest). The Coca-cola Prime Beef and Kimchi Cheese Mushroom, you must try and maybe you will recall it immediately after the first bite. The beef is sooooo tender and juicy, quite similar to the Japanese style as the sweet sauce. The mushroom is amazing!!! Cannot find such juicy one, and we were spoiled by the super rich taste of kimchi and cheese.
Yes, don't be shy, if you feel too full, or you're a bit done with the boring indoor dining environment; grab your cocktail glass, and step out again, the Central's night is still there, and even more sexy.
The dessert is quite outstanding among other dishes from Townhouse. Especially, the Coconut Lime Sorbet and the Wasabi Chocolate Mousse. We were speechless when dealing with those two. Just using the authentic coconut meat and fresh lime juicy for the refreshing taste, and a non-stop flavor of coconut cream is flowing in the mouth. Chocolate mousse is such a great sample of beauty and beast! Spicy wasabi not too aggressive but stimulating your tongue a lot with the super soften and smooth chocolate mousse, which is also less sweetened and more dry dark chocolate in taste. We cannot stop eating! :P
The vanilla fondant with Hongkong-style egg cake and some fruits, mini oreos, is more as a playful trick than a tasty way.
For Townhouse, Small Bites, Screws and Desserts, are top 3 choices for the dining people, for the drinking and party ones, I just noticed they are giving out awesome Happy Hour deals from Thursday to Saturday, 10pm onwards. $100 for their signature cocktails and 2 glasses, that sounds incredibly unbelievable, right!!! And ladies, Thursday upon entry, 1 glass of Champagne for free treats you well :)
