Amina to thrive in Causeway Bay

Amina² Cuisine (Causeway Bay)

Thanks to Mjqueen7e for inviting me to this dinner at Amina² Cuisine.

It is located in Causeway Bay which is great for people on the Hong Kong side.

Here was what we tried that night:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Light pan fried scallop with wasabi foam

Tender thin slices of scallop delicately flavoured with light wasabi foam
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Special tomato consomme, mozzarella with balsamic vinegar

Mozzarella is always my favourite and it was paired nicely with pieces of tomato consomme jelly and refreshing balsamic vinegar.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast marinated tuna and red pepper marinade

The tuna was delicious because it was heavily coated with black pepper.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Avocado, melon salmorejo with crispy parma ham

I loved this cold soup because it had a rich melon taste that had a hint of sweetness which went perfect with the crispy pieces of parma ham.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pan fried foie gras, green Apple marinade with spiced foam

The foie gras was refreshingly matched with green apple marinade and milky spiced foam.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Baked Portobello mushroom with common morel risotto

I found the risotto rather and heavy and creamy for my liking.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Roast cod fish, cream sauce ink pasta and truffle foam

The cod was delicate and flakey but I found the pasta a bit heavy as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pan fried tiger prawn , bacon sun dried tomato cheese cannelloni with spicy tomato coulis

The prawns were meaty and I loved the cheese cannelloni paired rightfully with tangy tomato couli.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
M6 kobe beef, beet root mash, with wild vegetable, gravy sauce and Himalayan rose salt

The beef was actually the best.
I liked the colourful vegetables and the thinly sliced lean beef which was enhanced by the salt.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Chocolate mousse with grand marnier

The chocolate mousse was really rich and the grand marnier balanced it out, however the grand marnier was rather strong.
