Interesting dining place at Otto

Restaurants in high rise buildings are common in Hong Kong because there is NO SPACE.
Anyway Otto Restaurant & Bar surprised me because it was quite different with stairs and the ceilings were different.

There were two floors.

On the upper floor, I liked the alcove with a Western looking window and the white bricks.

We tried the dinner set which is priced differently according to the main course you choose and it includes: starter, soup, main course, dessert and tea or coffee or a glass of wine for an extra $48.

We started off with bread:

Smoked eel salad with balsamic

I am not a fan of eel so I chose the other one.

Italian goats milk cheese with parma, quince paste

A light starter with goats cheese paired with sweet quince paste and aged parma ham.

Beetroot soup

The soup was interesting, I liked it but it tasted like sweetcorn soup.

Pan fried tiger prawns with linguine in tomato sauce

This was the cheapest main but I liked it because it was simple al dente linguine with a huge tiger prawn.
I would have liked the tomato sauce to be stronger though.

Pan fried chile sea bass fillet

For fish lovers, it was a chunky piece of fish on top of delicious truffle mash.

Char grilled us prime angus rib eye steak

I am not keen on beef, but I loved the steak because it was juicy and sweet enhanced by the salt that was on the plate.
It was great that there was no charred taste either.

Seafood platter

The seafood platter had Baked lobster in cheese, grilled salted tiger prawns and pan seared scallops.
I tried the lobster and I liked it because the sauce was adapted so that it was not too cheesy or creamy and the sauce was great for dipping the bread in it too.
