The Top 5 Dishes We Ate in April 2020
Hong Kong is one of the world’s most exciting culinary capitals, where good food is more than abundant. In that light, we’ve put together a few of our tastiest tidbits and most memorable morsels that are worth tracking down to try.
Ying Jee Club
If the Steamed king prawn with egg white and crab coral isn't reason enough to visit Ying Jee Club, then I don't know what is. Perhaps it's also the restaurant's exquisite interior or the menu which encapsulates Cantonese cuisine in such a refined yet contemporary manner. But for me, it really is something worth coming back for, time and time again. This seemingly simple dish involves a labour-intensive and meticulous process which takes three chefs several hours to create. The king prawn is shaped and prepared for a crunchy bite, while the braised egg whites, crab meat and crab roe add deeper flavours and texture as a whole.
Test Kitchen
Get yourself to one of the pop-up dinners at Test Kitchen and you will be escorted on a culinary journey that takes on a unique, and really rather cool, format. Most recently, I joined a tasting for their Edible Tales which spotlighted chocolate. But instead of the more sweet and sticky connotations that it conjures, I found complex and intriguing plates of food that highlighted its rich, savoury, and sometimes bitter flavours. One such dish is this chocolate spice-marinated prime short rib with chimichuri, scorched shishito peppers and a chocolate stout jus courtesy of Chef Ray Choi, whom you may remember from his stints at Tate Dining Room, Mandarin Grill and L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon.

Ichu Peru
A recent lunch led me back to H Queen's modern Peruvian restaurant, Ichu Peru, and I was once again reminded of how good the ceviche is here. On this occasion, the Ceviche Clasico I ordered used firm pieces of snapper, bathed in a beautifully bright and zesty leche de tigre with a slight kick. It also featured chewy Peruvian choclo and crunchy red onions, topped with crisps of sweet potato. The cool dish is ideal for hot summer days, while the mix of textures make every bite a little more fun, too.

Bedu
There is one restaurant that pulls me in from being a critic of lamb to a fan, and that eatery is the contemporary Middle Eastern restaurant Bedu. The Rack of lamb, which is exceptionally executed, sits atop a pool of sharp and flavourful labneh and za'atar oil, before it's topped with jewels of pomegranate for crunch. I have also ordered the lamb for delivery to my home, which is just as tender, succulent and perfectly pink as if I was dining in the restaurant.
Bedu, 40 Gough Street Central, Central; +852 2320 4450
Ask for Alonzo
Rustic comforts can be found at Mediterranean Italian restaurant Ask for Alonzo, which opened its second location in Tai Hang earlier this year. I visited the cosy trattoria, which offers family recipes on their menu, recently and ordered my new favourite combination -- handmade burrata with parma ham, tomatoes and rocket. Creamy soft cheese, with rich savoury ham, and zingy pieces of fresh tomato to cut through, this is Italian summer on my plate.

Where Chefs Eat: Devon Hou of Test Kitchen
Whether it’s an extravagant fine dining restaurant or a humble street side hawker stall, we are perpetually on the quest for delectable foods — whatever the occasion. So, for the ultimate insider scoop, who better to personally recommend the best eats around the world than top chefs who’ve seen and tasted it all. We go right to the source as international culinary legends reveal where they eat and what they order when the aprons come off.
Chef Devon Hou began her culinary career at Amber under the wing of Richard Ekkebus, then as a sous chef to Vicky Lau starting up Tate Dining Room, before moving overseas to London's Goring Hotel. Her journey then led her to a unique F&B opportunity unlike any other. Her role as Head Chef at Test Kitchen is beyond collaborations with the well known culinary celebrities. It's also thematic pop-up dinner series of her own and constant exploration with flavours and cooking techniques. We chat up the chef and find out where she eats when she's away from her kitchen and in someone else's dining room.
For an evening of fine dining…

I had a very memorable dinner in Dewakan in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The way the chef fuses Malaysian ingredients together impressed me the most, a close second [impressive element] would be the stunning night views.

For a romantic date night…

The thing I like most about it is, both of the Japanese chefs are always there; maintaining the consistency and high quality of the food at a reasonable price. They open until late so this is absolutely my first choice of restaurant for happy-hour.

Startup Life: Vincent Mui of Test Kitchen on His Unique Dining Movement
There is never a dull moment in Hong Kong’s dining scene. But what Vincent Mui realised was as vivacious as the F&B world is, and there was a hole in the industry he wanted to fill. So in 2015, the entrepreneur opened up Test Kitchen – a concept that literally brought the most talented culinary influencers right into the heart of the city.
Though only open for a few short years, his establishment has become one of the most watched (and booked) by foodies locally and abroad. With the likes of critically acclaimed chefs such as celebrity chef and Top Chef contender Kwame Onwuachi (USA), Ray Adriansyah of Locavore (Indonesia), Ben Spalding of The Fat Duck (United Kingdom), Andrew Walsh of Cure (Singapore), to upcoming pop-up crossover with Pablo Lagrange from Argentina, Test Kitchen has been the place to experience and experiment with international cuisines. We chat with Vincent to find out more about the business, along with his triumphs and challenges.
Name: Vincent Mui
Profession: Restaurateur
Industry: Food & Beverage, specifically pop-ups and events
Start up since: March 2015
Company size: Small
[caption id="attachment_190512" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Founder Vincent Mui and Head Chef Devon Hou[/caption]
Tell us about your business. What do you do?
Test Kitchen is a unique dining movement that invites chefs around the world (and occasionally from within Hong Kong) to cook the food they love and share their stories in four of five night pop-up dinners, usually running twice a month. Hong Kong diners are knowledgeable and open-minded about new tastes and experiences; they want to get to know our chefs and understand what drives them and their food.
Our beautiful two-storey street-level shop is located in Sai Ying Pun where we host our pop-up dinners. We also curate private events, including anything from sit-down dinners to cocktail parties. A new sector we are recently focusing on is Catering. We want to extend our culinary team to showcase their brilliant work outside the four walls of Test Kitchen.
Tell me about your best and worst day at work?
My best day at work is when both the guests and our team are really happy with how the event turned out. That can be nailing the dinner service on the first night of the pop-up to finishing a private dinner or catering event where we’ve surpassed all our clients' expectations.
My worst day at work is when the unexpected happens -- a stove breaks down or the oven doesn’t quite work -- you need to scramble to get things resolved immediately.
What do you do when you’re not at work?
I love to drive and every weekend I go out for a spin with my friends, come rain or shine. When I drive, there’s nothing on my mind other than the steering wheel, the 3 pedals, the shifter and the next corner.
Looking back now, what would you have done differently?
I actually have no regrets! I’m one of those people who believes that everything happens for a reason. So whether they are mistakes or good decisions, there’s always something to take from it. What matters most is that you are better than you were yesterday.
[caption id="attachment_190518" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Guest chef Pablo Lagrange adding the finishing touches to his dish[/caption]
What is a normal work day like?
Every day I take 30 minutes to think and strategise about what I need to do for the day ahead… and then I get on with it! There are so many elements, everything from liaising with new chefs we're bringing in to cook or dealing with local producers, to working on or finessing private events, or arranging wine pairings that will accompany our menus. There's never a quiet moment!
What advice would you give to someone looking to start up?
Follow your heart, and don’t be afraid of the unknown. My experience has shown that we all come across many different perspectives throughout our journey, and they can all teach us something.
What would you be doing if you weren’t doing what you do now?
I'd likely be working in a regular full-service restaurant. I think my love for this industry will always mean I'm in a place where good food is served and I am empowered to make guests feel good.
[caption id="attachment_190523" align="alignnone" width="1600"] Chef Krzysztof Czerwinski and Chef Phillipa Armitage-Mattin preparing for their four-hands collaboration[/caption]
As a child, what did you aspire to be?
I always wanted to become a race car driver. Maybe one day I'll be in the position to go racing and build a team from scratch!
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Striking a balance between pushing the culinary boundaries to meeting diners’ expectation, with culinary teams coming over to Test Kitchen from all around the world.
How did you overcome it?
Through time and maintaining a constant conversation between guests and chefs.
Why Hong Kong?
I’m born and raised in Hong Kong, my closest family is here, and this is my home. Hong Kong is also obviously an international city and a melting pot of all cuisines. I love how you can get a bowl of beef brisket noodles in a 60 year-old establishment, then go right next door to a hip coffee shop that could literally be straight out of Melbourne.
[caption id="attachment_190525" align="alignnone" width="1280"] A mackerel dish presented at a pop-up dinner[/caption]
If you were to invest in another start up, which would it be?
Technology. I’m the least tech guy going, but I’m fascinated by what it can do, and what it does for the world. It'd be great to be part of it and learn their business and trade by investment.
How hands-on are you?
Very -- and I love it. Especially the push during dinner service, the buzz of working with everyone, creating an event, be it a popup dinner series with an overseas team, a private dinner party for 10 or catering a wedding for 200 guests.
What are your goals for 2020? And in the near future?
To expand Test Kitchen's private events and catering sector, while continuing to invite brilliant international and local chefs to our kitchen, as well as find a way to contribute more to Hong Kong society.
How do you define success? Do you consider yourself being successful?
To be a good husband, father and son. To create a business that I can pour my love into that is both profitable and benefiting those who are involved -- and hopefully being able to inspire a few people along the journey.
