On this Friday evening, we came to the rooftop of The Park Lane Hong Kong, to have dinner at Skye Roofbar & Brasserie. It brought back some memories as I used to come here often during childhood to enjoy the buffet. Its huge, slanted windows looking out to the gorgeous Victoria Harbour and Victoria Park has not changed.
After the reception we were led through the central walkway, to our table on the window side. It was early evening, with still plenty of daylight. Further down the walkway was the open-air bar, directly facing Victoria Harbour. While the restaurant was quite quiet, there were many customers at the bar.
I started with a glass of Granbazan Albarino Etiqueta Verde ($160). This white wine is from Rias Baixas in Spain, with nice fragrance of apple and white peach, lemon zest and fresh herbs. On the palate there is a touch of saline minerality with good acidity. An easy-drinking wine to pair with different seafood.
We ordered two starters to share. The first was Norwegian Smoked Salmon ($220), with the thinly sliced salmon having a nice touch of smokiness but not excessive, paired with some homemade shallot cream, with buckwheat crepes served on the side to complement. A good appetizer.
The other starter we had was Grilled Spanish Octopus Tentacles ($280). The large tentacle was delicious, tender and could be cut easily. Paired with smoked bell pepper sauce and some flamed local cherry tomatoes, the acidity helped to freshen up the palate. Personally, I preferred this one more than the smoked salmon.
Next was soup, with my wife going for French Onion Soup ($120). The onion was sufficiently stir-fried to bring forward the sweetness while not burning to make them bitter, with the soup tasty and rich. Originally there was also Comte cheese in the soup, but my wife had requested to skip that. On the side was sourdough toast too.
I had Lobster Bisque ($140) instead. The soup was creamy and full of flavours from the crustaceans, with a touch of cognac for fragrance. Drizzled with a few drops of Piqual olive oil, some crispy toasts were provided on the side too. Very rich and bursting with flavours, I would suggest adding some lobster meat to the soup to make it more premium.
Then I had another glass of wine, this time going for Black Stallion Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley ($240), to match the wagyu beef. Having concentrated flavours of blackberry and cassis, plenty of cocoa, vanilla oak and spices, the rich tannin combines with the fat of the beef for a nice mellow and soft texture.
For the main course, we had Australian Stockyard Beef Wagyu M6 Ribeye Cube Roll ($940) to share. It was a sizable portion, weighing 400g. The surface was caramelized nicely, while the flesh was medium per our preference. With simple seasoning it was already very delicious. The side dish of sauteed local mixed mushroom ($80) was equally wonderful.
As we were full, we just had one dessert to share, and decided to pick Colonel Lime Sorbet ($120), with some yuzu peels on the sorbet, it was refreshing and not too sweet, having good acidity to balance. A light, crispy tuile in the shape of a roll was placed on top to give contrast in texture.
Service was good, with the staff helpful in explaining the menu and recommended us not to over-order. The bill on the night is $2,607. The view was simply amazing, and the whole ambience made it a good place to enjoy a cozy dinner. Perhaps next time we could enjoy a drink at the bar beforehand as well?
