中餐

Chef Romain from southern France revisits his culinary roots at Racines (literally "roots" in French). Classic heirloom recipes get a modern makeover and are crafted with seasonal produce from his home country and Hong Kong. From house-made sourdough with smoked butter to petits fours in a vintage biscuit tin, his tasting menu brims with personal touches. Crispy Brittany pigeon, a staple on the menu, is nicely balanced by the fruity tartness of berries.

Yardbird is always jam-packed, so book online or expect to queue. The main draw is without doubt the 20-plus types of yakitori skewers made with local ‘three-yellow’ chicken from beak to tail, grilled over binchotan charcoal. Rare cuts like thyroid and ventricle can be hard to find elsewhere, as are the crispy meatballs with tare and egg yolk. Check out the extensive list of Japanese whisky.

Mora is located on Cat Street, famous for its antique and junk market. The soothing interior adopts a cream colour scheme with subtle curvy lines. Soybeans are at the core of the menu, taking the forms of bean sauce, tofu skin, soymilk, and fermented beans, whose textures complement other ingredients in each dish well. European techniques are seamlessly melded with local flavours for a varied and interesting experience. Don’t miss their Mapo tofu.

The mantra of chef Hideaki Sato is “pure, simple and seasonal”. His passion for cooking and his experimental approach on food combinations are evidenced by his original and extraordinary creations made with top-notch ingredients mostly from his native Japan. The tasting menu is highly season-driven; sourdough and cultured butter made daily in-house are simply addictive. The wine list features interesting Asian vintages as well as sake and adds to the memorable experience.
