Seafood Room has been talk of the town for a while within my group of friends. We were fascinated by the luxury and unique decoration of the restaurant; as well as delicious food. It was also interested to know that it is owned & run by a Russian Group. The only drawback is pricing was not too friendly.As a smart purchaser, I decided to wait for special offer. Luckily, not long! Seafood Room was on the list of Restaurant Week Summer 2016. I got the chance to try a 3-course lunch menu for a price
As a smart purchaser, I decided to wait for special offer. Luckily, not long! Seafood Room was on the list of Restaurant Week Summer 2016. I got the chance to try a 3-course lunch menu for a price of $198 instead of $280. That was a good hundred dollar bargain!!
I picked 1st of August purposely so my birthday month would start with a deluxe lunch. I was lucky. If the booking was dinner or lunch on 2rd August, it would have been cancelled due to typhoon. On the other hand, it was even more relaxing as I was anticipating a extra day off on the next day.
Tower 535 was a new building next to World Trade Centre in Causeway Bay. From the outlook, it is simply an upper end office building. But stepping inside, the grand and big wave ceiling gave me a feeling that I was entering New York’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. However, the perception changed immediately once I accessed the lobby. It was quiet, cool and empty. Restaurants on lobby floor were still under renovation and there were no security guards around.
Seafood Room is located at 26th floor. That is close to root top.
I have no doubt to do the same. This typical picture taking from the dining room towards the lift lobby represents all about Seafood Room. It was like an aquarium or a gallery!
The living creative specimens in the glass containers were delicate and certainly worthwhile to take closer look. Colorful paintings on the wall talked about old China. East meets the ocean! East meets the West!
This is definitely not the only site-seeing attraction here. Pay attention to the shark at the end, reptile on the floor, huge water tanks with living lobster and shell fish and an ice tank with fresh chilled seafood.
I couldn’t help not to take pictures at the lady’s room. There was amazing view and palace style washing basins. I got to own the “image” at the least.
Main dinning floor was extremely spacious, elegantly and tastefully decorated with crystal chandeliers.
I arrived at noon, early enough for me to pick the best seat for two, a quiet corner with sofa seats, next to the huge ceiling to floor window. It was an absolutely open view although the sky was milky due to a typhoon no.1 being hosted.
While waiting for my dinning partner, I ordered warm water. I was unexpectedly served by a set of elegant teapot and cup. They were beautifully painted with interesting items; such as Hong Kong ferry, bird cage and dim sum.
Lunch menu for Restaurant Week was placed on the table. It was simple and straightforward. There were 4-5 choices for each section of appetizer, main and dessert. Did not mention but understandable; coffee and drink was complementary.
I also asked for a standard menu for reference. It is simple but sophisticated and is divided into 12 sections including: ‘Carpaccio’, ‘Tartare’, ‘Ceviche’, ‘New-style Sashimi’, Hot Dishes’, ‘Sashimi’, ‘Pasta’, ‘Chinese Dishes’ ( prepared by their in-house Chinese chef), ‘Meats’ and more.Lunch started. We both picked the same appetizer. For the mains, I picked a fish while my dinning partner has clams.

What amazed me the most was the top quality Italian vinegar that came with. This vinegar tasted sweeter than those I had before. This was impressive. I should look for it and buy one.Seafood Room Ceviche

Prepared in a traditional way, the dish was made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime, and spiced with chili peppers. Additional seasonings, chopped onions, salt, and cilantro, were also found.
Tuna, salmon and sea bass were raw fish of the day. They can be distinguished easily by the orange, pink and light color respectively. They were all chopped into small cubes and easily be eaten in one bite. This was an absolutely delightful appetizer. All salami was fresh, tender and juicy. Most amazing is the lovely sweet and sour taste from the seasoning, it indeed awaken my stomach and gave me a great first impression to today’s lunch.Barramundi – artichoke panzanella

As a fish lover, I was happy to find 3 types of fish to choose from at lunch menu. Sea Bream and Sea Bass asked for $50 top up. So, I picked Barramundi. It was also less often to be served at western restaurant. I was curious to know the quality.

Clams were huge and fat. There were about 10-12 pieces in the pot. It was juicy and fully covered by black bean paste. However, the taste was mild and just right, did not overwhelm the freshness of clams. It was just mouth-watering and highly recommended.Chocolate and Orange Tart

The tart was made of 3 layers, rich chocolate at the top, orange mouse in the middle and a crispy crust at the bottom. A well balance of chocolate bitterness and sweet & sour orange favor. The tart was extremely thick and smooth. Vanilla ice cream and pistachio nuts on the side further enhance the richness of this dessert.

Mint Candy
At last, we were served by mint candy. What worth to mention was the real shell served. It was beautifully re-used. I love this environment protection idea!!
What a wonderful lunch? Seafood Room has deluxe and spacious environment, attentive service, quality food and a great price. There is reason for me to return.
