The last meal in HK for 2024 , so I wrapped up the year with a revisit to Neighbourhood and ordered the remaining dishes on the menu that I had never previously tried , and as usual it was all hits no misses .
Boiled artichoke was a staple growing up , I wasn’t super fond of it as a kid and then grew to like it as an adult but the preparation was always so tedious . Thankfully all the work is done , the asparagus flower is paired with chicken liver mousse and terrific black truffle which packed a punch .
Seasonal poached shrimp are served whole and lightly dusted with espelette pepper , the sweetness shines.
Bone marrow is blanketed by a generous serving of caviar and served with luscious mashed potato , the combination of the three is pure luxury , and while I loved all parts , I would be stupidly happy with a big bowl of the potato purée !
I really enjoy Shirako with European flavours so combining it with raclette , thick bacon and boiled potato was sure to please .
I rarely have room for dessert here but seeing I was about to board a 15 hour flight where I was quite happy to skip a meal , dessert became irresistible.
French toast is a HK staple , here it has cracking texture resembling creme brûlée and is topped with ice cream and truffle . Decadent yet still pretty light .
