Yellowfin tuna tartare, a surprisingly tender and eye-catching appetizer from @esquinasg. Dressed in a zesty and savory sauce, companied by creamy mentaiko salad and topped with sea grapes, herring caviar and celery sorbet. A mouthful of flavors that come together beautifully. This is part of the tasting menu at $128/pax. Reservation is recommended – www.esquina.com.sg . . . ESQUINA 16 Jiak Chuan Road S089267

Yay! It’s Kushikatsu time🤍 Definitely a “Hidden” gem in Causeway Bay, Their kushikatsu batter is super light and crispy! Here are some of my favourites: Scallop Salmon Roe, Herring Roe on Kelp & oyster bacon roll! All mixing different texture in one bite, yum!! Would also love to try their shirako so ive made my next booking in Dec already 🤗 鍾意食香口嘢嘅朋友一定會鍾意食炸串，而Hidden嘅炸皮就係出咗名又light又薄又脆！個炸皮可以鎖住晒入邊啲水份，所以唔好影太耐相要快啲食先可以欣賞到最好食果一刻！食咗幾轉之後都唔會覺得太油膩，純粹係真係飽🤣 ☝🏻炸雞翼真係好好味，要食多兩隻先夠！ 帶子三文魚子，賣相好靚但係因為冇辦法一啖食晒佢，食到好lea hea (本人唔係好鍾意食啲跌到周圍係既野），但係都要試下😅 帶子仲好juicy, 仲有少少溏心, 再加埋沙律醬酸酸甜甜同埋三文魚子嘅Umami調味，唔錯既！ 另外都鍾意鯡魚籽昆布，食落口魚子脆卜卜口感非常得意，我最鍾意呢個！ 然後日本蠔煙肉卷都好出色，外層脆皮加煙韌嘅煙肉再加埋蠔非常之鮮味多汁，一啖咬落去爆曬啲汁出嚟🥳 反而一開始有少少期待嘅Mochi，原來係非常之淡味嘅，要靠點濃汁先有味！下次唔會再叫呢個因為會塞飽左自己😆其實呢度仲有好多嘢想試不過真係太飽啦，食唔落呀！除咗炸串之外，其實小食都唔錯㗎，希望下次可以試埋其他種類啦！ 另外想講吓呢度服務態度非常好，但係老闆係一個流利廣東話嘅日本人，可能比你同我更加鍾意香港🤍

Dutch herring, raw onion, pickle, my second time trying this particular fish from this region, strong flavor with a sweet after note, flavor enhance with the sourness from the pickle, a clean pungent flavor comparing with Japanese preparation, its something I like and will be coming back for more Smoke trout dill, sun dried tomato, hummus, couscous, another robust and appetizing starter, love the smokiness from the fish and the classic taste of dill, the hummus and couscous served it’s purpose soaking up the juices and toning down the flavor to a perfect balance, at first glance my impression might be just another salad dish but it hit me by surprise, love it!
