I've always liked the Mira's new restaurants and have tried out Yamm and coco. Last night we tried out Whisk for my friend's birthday dinner and its now definitely on my favourite restaurants list. I've heard lots about Justin Quek from my Singapore and Taiwan friends so I was looking forward to the food!We first had drinks in the outdoor patio (called Vibes) which was really beautiful and relaxing, the decor was really nice with comfortable chairs. The walls are paneled with grass giving it
I've heard lots about Justin Quek from my Singapore and Taiwan friends so I was looking forward to the food!
We first had drinks in the outdoor patio (called Vibes) which was really beautiful and relaxing, the decor was really nice with comfortable chairs. The walls are paneled with grass giving it a nice outdoor feel.
The restaurant decor is simple yet very modern and elegant with nice touches. They have a nice glass window which looks down to Cuisine Cuisine.
We had a party of 10 and also reserved the private room where we could look into the kitchen- it really was very entertaining to see the chefs at work, see how our food was prepared and then served to us.
We ordered the set dinner. It was a different set dinner than the one based on the last review, and it was really good. Don't be fooled by the size of the dishes- it may seem small but the first review was right- this is an insanely filling meal and by the end of dinner I think we all added 2 inches to our waistline.
1st course was a crab ravioli with shellfish consomme- the consomme was fresh and full of flavour. Some friends felt that as chinese it may have seemed a bit 'normal' like eating wonton but nevertheless the dish was a good start to what was coming ahead.
Our 2nd course was a Duck Foie Gras. I'm a huge fan of Foie Gras and this was bursting with flavour, really smooth. It was a simple dish with a small side of crushed cranberries on the side but the portion size was perfect.
The 3rd course was langoustine. The sauce was absolutely exquisite, I don't know what it was but seriously good, we licked our plates clean with the bread that was served to us prior.
And then came the suckling pig.
I couldn't agree more with the first review. You cut through the crust and it is so crispy you can hear it, and then your knife flows through the meat. First bite melts in your mouth and the flavour is top notch. It's hard to get pork to be so soft and basically everyone fell silent during this course because we were enjoying the food so much!
Desert was also brilliant and my 2nd favourite course of the night. Pandan creme brulee, I think it was caramel ice cream, and an apple flan. The apple flan was beautiful with the ice cream- hot, crispy base with warm apple! the Creme brulee was also amazingly smooth and full of pandan flavour, which I love!!!
My friend didn't have the set menu but had a salad, lobster bisque and steak which he said was just as fantastic and satisfying as the rest of us.
All in all we were absolutely stuff and satisfied with our meal. Fion and Edward took very good care of us throughout the night. They also have a good wine selection- we tried both red and white but my favourie was the Reisling (I believe it was Dr H Thanisch riesling- German riesling is the best!)
My friend had a discount card of 15%. At the end of the day, this place is excellent value for money for the food you get, the decor, the service, really a beautiful fine dining experience. I've been to other fine dining restaurants in HK hotels such as Amber, Caprisce, Nicholinis, and this place is cheaper, just as good, if not better, and in my opinion better value for money.
Definitely one of my best eats of the year. I will be back!
