It is my impression that the HK dining public seem to desert restaurants when a chef change occurs . I hope that this doesn’t occur with Hansik Goo as excellence will remain very much in its pedigree .
The lunch menu here is very similar to dinner with the portion sizes just minimised a little , it is well balanced , nutritious and there is no need for an afternoon food nap .
Kicking things off is Pine nut juk with crab - creamy and fresh , it’s a lovely balanced start .
A duo of raw fish follows , Amberjack is paired with caviar whilst Mackerel and kimchi form a great duo .
A crystal clear beef and radish soup with Mantou dumpling is warming and wholesome .
The gochujang glazed silver pomfret is perfectly cooked , a side of garlic chives and surf clam adds some freshness to the piquancy.
Scallion Pajeon is superbly crisp and the umami from the dried seafood carries the course .
Hanwoo meatball is Kofta - like and terrifically juicy , pork neck is fatty in the best way and there is plenty of kimchi and rice to round out the flavours.
A great take on Crème brûlée to end the meal , with vanilla ice cream encrusted with pecans .
