📍Ankôma I was attracted by all the amazing photos and good reviews about Ankôma but I am afraid my experience was rather underwhelming. When we arrived on time, staff were still cleaning up from the 1st round. It’s a very tight little space with an opened kitchen. You would expect more finesse with an opened kitchen setting but the chef and his two sous chefs seemed to be lacking in coordination. To start with, the tuna tartare and the uni french toast were nice. The Japanese oyster was huge but

To start with, the tuna tartare and the uni french toast were nice. The Japanese oyster was huge but it’s way too creamy for my liking.
The next dish Kombu-jime aged drunken shrimp with sea grapes. The whole dish was overwhelmingly sour. I can’t even taste the original sweetness of the shrimp. The Tempura shrimp head was very greasy and left a bad oily taste in the mouth.
The caviar white truffle oil angel hair pasta was good but then it’s not anything unique.
The chawamushi was with crab meat and chicken consommé. It was a tad too salty.
Then the Uroko-yaki Amadai with sake beurre blanc and dill oil. I liked the dill oil.
I appreciate that their signature is their chicken but it doesn’t mean that they can mistreat the other main course option! The pigeon was so tough that we had difficulties in even having half of it. The mushroom was super salty. At that point, we really just want to leave.
Finally, the dessert Apple tart tatin with homemade ice-cream. You can definitely taste that the ice cream is homemade as the amount of ice crystal is insane.
The tasting menu has a number of familiar looking dishes. The whole experience was like “oh I think I had this at xxxx” or “this is from xxxx”. But if you are trying to do so, you have to execute it better than the original but unfortunately, I didn’t have that feeling throughout the whole night. With the given price point, there are a lot of other options who doesn’t have such odd two time slot restrictions.
Price: HK$1700 pp (dinner)
