Exploring SOW (Sheung Wan) in Hong Kong

SOW is located on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan, the first street to be completed in Hong Kong, exuding a strong sense of historical depth. Although the streets are not crowded at night, the restaurant still has many diners, some drinking at the bar, others enjoying meals with close friends. The European and American industrial-style decor creates an atmosphere that makes us feel as if we are traveling in Europe. Tonight, the two of us ordered a set dinner and an additional pasta to savor slowly. STARTER [Yuzu Lemon Honey Oil Capelin Tart] The capelin sashimi is diced, with a tender, smooth, and sweet taste, and the yuzu honey is sour and sweet, very appetizing. APPETIZER We chose two with a Chinese flair. [SOW's Imitation Crab with Zhenjiang Vinegar] is different from what you find elsewhere, with a texture like soufflé, very distinctive. [Soy Sauce Bonito Soup with Fish Maw] is full of savory flavor, and the radish absorbs the soup well. SOUP Chef's Choice Soup Today's soup is [Borscht], sour yet sweet, fragrant, and filled with vegetables like carrots, offering rich nutrition. MAIN [Low-Temperature Slow-Cooked Australian Full Blood Wagyu Char Siu (+$88)] The meat is tender and pink, with a rich beef flavor. Dipped in char siu sauce, it actually tastes a bit like the usual char siu, quite special. The side dishes include smooth black truffle mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and more, very rich. PASTA [Pacific Red Prawn with Seafood Sauce and Garlic Chili Linguine] Three large red prawns, which are among the most flavorful in the shrimp family, with rich shrimp paste in the head. The linguine is chewy and flavored with garlic and chili, very appetizing. For dessert, we paid extra for [Flaming Snow Mountain], where the staff poured flaming rum over the snow mountain. The light meringue hides marshmallows. Inside there are fresh fruits, cake, and ice cream, delicious and atmospheric.
