HAKU X ThinkWine 🍣🍷 

Last Thursday, @thinkwinehk invited the award-winning Chef Agustin Balbi (@agux1988) from HAKU over for this one-night pop-up event

- Hokkaido Uni Brioche 🍞 was so good! |$220

- Tuna, Yuzu Kolho, Wasabit Mayo - Chef Balbi mixed in tuna and beef tartare in this cute little tart! 🐟🐄 |$110

this collaboration is great but portions are slightly too small for the price, though I understand HAKU is a big name.

• Think Wine is an experimental wine bar with over 600 types of wines, opened by the two French sommeliers Romain Loriot and Jean-Benoit Issele (@loriotromain and @jb_lanime). Think wine-tasting, food-pairing AND CHEESE platters, that's where you wanna go. Would like to come back on an ordinary night to try out the Think Wine menu.

Came here for the fist time and quite in love with this place! The interior is cosy and decorated in retro French style, with the plump little baby Eros as their brand icon. The venue isn't big but doesn't feel cramped at all, and there's a very nice outdoor area on the balcony. They do have quite an extensive wine menu (though they don't really do cocktails, only a couple of options there), and a great selection of food to gowith. However, they are current doing a #UnitedWeDine menu as part of

Came here for the fist time and quite in love with this place! The interior is cosy and decorated in retro French style, with the plump little baby Eros as their brand icon. The venue isn't big but doesn't feel cramped at all, and there's a very nice outdoor area on the balcony. They do have quite an extensive wine menu (though they don't really do cocktails, only a couple of options there), and a great selection of food to gowith. However, they are current doing a #UnitedWeDine menu as part of a joint campaign in the F&B industry in these difficult times, which was what really prompted me to visit. The menu consisted of three courses for $350, with a wine pairing option for an additional $350. First course was most impressive, being the prestigeous balik smoked salmon which is said to have been the last Russian tsar's favourite, and now Mr. Putin's. I chose to add $150 for caviar on top of the salmon, and it was so worth it! The caviar was the type I like, briny and rich in umami and not just salty, and paired very well with the fresh-tasting smoked salmon. The sommelier actually changed the white wine to champagne for me because of the caviar, which was very good service and hospitality of him. The next course was black truffle risotto. Flavour-wise it was ok, though the rice was too soft and not al dente as it should be in Italian cuisine (they are French though). Finally there was the 64% Valrhona chocolate tart, paired with a fortified sweet wine. The mooten chocolate was actually very rich and decadent, absolutely delicious. Just wish it were bigger so there would be more of that melty chocolate lava! At the end the waitress actually let me try a very interesting wine called "Biscuit", and oh my it was so good! It was milky, Baileys flavoured, sweet but not too sweet, like a perfect second dessert in a glass. All in all I'm very satisfied with the experience. The vibe was just right, happy and cosy but not too noisy. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. They also do pop-up collaborations with various top restaurants in town from time to time. Would love to come back again

Great selection of wines with reasonable price; the cold cuts and cheese platter was absolutely delicious. Good vibe, cozy environment, perfect for date night or just hanging out with friends

I tried the wine and cheese tastings. 

The cheese platter (didn't take a picture sorry) had St Maure (Goat), St Nectaire (Cow) and something called Ossau aux deux laits (Cow and Goat). I wasn't a huge fan of the mild st nectaire, but i enjoyed the St Maure (mild but with that unmistakable grassy goat flavor), and in particular the Ossau. It's a hard cheese with complex flavors, reminds me of a milder parmigiano. Tasty. Looking over their cheese menu, it sadly seems that they don't stock a lot of strong cheeses, so I'll give LQV the upper hand for cheese.

The wine was paired for the cheese tasting, so they served me two whites (Marimorena Albarino and St Romain Burgundy) for the St Maure and Ossau, and a red (Barbera) for the St Nectaire. The sommelier was gracious but didn't offer a lot of contextual info on the wines - to be fair i should have asked more, and i'm sure he would have been happy to discuss. I enjoyed  the Burgundy in particular, which balanced its classic buttery oakiness with enough freshness to complement the amazing Ossau. The Albarino is a terrific value wine as well, with some unexpected peach and citrus but complementary acidity and minerality.

Prices are about what you'd expect from a Central wine bar - the cheapest bottle is the Albarino I tried at 350 (this wine is a great value i think), and glasses start at 65 for the same wine. You can definitely find a bunch of bottles at the next level for 500-600 though, and the cheese/drinking snacks are not exorbitant. 

Overall, it's a cool spot for wine that isn't as commercial as Suckling's place, and provides a nice alternative to LQV. It's a place for celebrations, dates or night-caps rather than an everyday drinking joint. It has earned its place though, especially surrounded as it is by the trash bars in Soho. Give it a shot if you're in the area.
