The warmth of Abalone treasures at Hess 61

Found out about this new shop on Openrice because the name of the restaurant was interesting, I thought the English name was quite random and not related to the Chinese name.

After having abalone noodles at Maur's Kitchen I decided to try this place.

The menu offered was extremely interesting, although it was Chinese food they also served Iberico ham.

I found the double boiled Hokkaido milk with abalone interesting, because Hokkaido milk is usually for desserts and this time it is a savoury soup!

The Iberico ham linguine was also interesting, but in the end I ordered the Steamed Abalone with Rice Wrapped with lotus leaf and Fish noodles with abalone sauce.

Steamed Abalone with Rice Wrapped with lotus leaf $88
I was really looking forward to this but it was disappointing because it was just plain egg fried rice with a piece of abalone in it.

The abalone sauce was separate.
The set came with black fungus in vinegar, orange juice and a dessert.

Fish noodles with abalone sauce $45
Although this was cheaper I really liked it, the noodles were made with fish were extremely soft and did not contain any grounded bones.

For the noodles there was a choice of instant noodles, udon or fish noodles.

The entrance of the restaurant was quite interesting, on the left there is a fishing net and some abalone shells in the basket where you can write messages and hang it on the fishing net.

Overall the food was ok, but I wished I ordered the Hokkaido milk with abalone if I knew it was fried rice inside the wrapped rice.
The restaurant was surprisingly packed even though it had only opened by two days but then it was lunch time so expect a noisy environment.
