Business Traveller Middle East|September - October 2017

The Business Traveller Asia-Pacific team tries out some new hotspots and old favourites in Hong Kong

 

Dinner Date

UMI

The newest dining venture from Hong Kong group Le Comptoir, Umi opened in February and offers authentic Japanese cuisine in easy walking distance of the Central business district.

Natural materials and minimalist décor create a zen-like environment, with a spectacular showpiece in the form of a hanging orchid tree. A set omasake (chef’s choice) menu is prepared live by fourth-generation sushi master Yukio Kimijima, with two seatings for ten patrons at a time (HK$1,588/£158 per person).

Our four appetisers comprised six-month dried rice with lavish shavings of French truffle; seasonal hirame (Japanese halibut) adorned with the vibrant hanaho flower; Narita-sourced abalone; and grilled Hokkaido scallop wrapped in seaweed with sweet chestnut.

The procession of ten sushi courses started with the lighter flavours of sayori, snapper and kohada fish, before the more meaty textures of akami and toro tuna. A rich miso soup, a powerfully flavoured sea urchin roll, and a dessert of mochi and matcha Valrhona chocolate followed. Sake pairings are available.

Offering authentic Edomae sushi in a lovely environment, Umi is a fantastic addition to Hong Kong’s culinary scene. Tamsin Cocks â– 

Open Mon-Sat 6.30pm-8pm, 8.30pm-10.30pm. Shop 3, G/F, 159-163 Hollywood Road; tel +852 2956 3177; lecomptoir.hk/umi

FLINT GRILL AND BAR

Flint Grill and Bar may be housed on level five of the JW Marriott, but with its upmarket industrial-chic interior, it’s not your typical hotel restaurant. In 2016, it welcomed head chef Pieter Fitz-Dreyer, who has revamped the menu with inventive creations.
