Although there are lots of Italian restaurants in Hong Kong, homemade pasta is not so widely popular as making fresh pasta takes patience and attention to the intricate details of the process. However, you can find every dish made in-house from scratch at Casa Cucina & Bar located at Sai Ying Pun. Formerly of Two- Michelin Guide -starred Amber at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong Executive Chef Anthony Cheung brings a Cicchetti-inspired menu featuring a limited selection of dishes all made in-house. This restaurant has three floors of intimate dining space which looks like a resort hotel, no wonder it has become an Instagram favorite since its grand opening.

雖然意大利餐廳在香港隨處可見，但手工意粉卻不常見，始終複雜製作過程需要一定的耐性，不過位於西營盤的Casa Cucina & Bar就可找到從頭開始自家製作的手工菜式。大廚Anthony Cheung曾任職香港置地文華東方酒店、米芝連兩星法式餐廳Amber，餐牌選取意大利特色小食文化Cicchetti為創作靈感，選擇不算多，但全都是自家製作。餐廳猶如一幢獨立度假屋，擁有三層空間，難怪開張以來已成為IG打卡熱點。

Burrata $105
This appetizer resembles the "red, white, and green" colors of the Italian flag. The softness and delightful milky aroma of buffalo cheese are irresistible. The seasonings allow the delicate flavor of the cheese to shine through. When cut open, the creamy interior of Burrata is revealed as it slowly seeps from the centre like rich cream. It tastes cool and refreshing and that's why is a great choice for appetizer in summer.

這道前菜仿如意大利國旗的「紅、白、綠」三色，水牛芝士的柔軟與芳香就是它最誘人的魅力，奶香佈滿口腔，簡單調味不喧賓奪主，切開時水牛芝士像奶油般柔滑的內芯緩緩滲出，冰涼清新，是夏天一流的開胃菜。

Duck Ragu Pappardelle $178
This pasta with double-seared duck breast chicken, liver parfait and French yellow wine topped with Parmesan is one of the Casa signature dishes. The biggest difference between fresh pasta and dried pasta is the springy texture which offers an al dente bite. Pappardelle goes wonderfully with a hearty, meaty Duck Ragu sauce.

這道鴨胸肉醬意粉是Casa的招牌菜之一，加入雞肝及法國Vin Jaune黃葡萄酒，再撒上巴馬臣芝士，新鮮現造意粉與乾意粉最大的分別就是彈性中帶點煙韌的麵質，挺身富有Al dente咬口嚼勁，寬帶蛋麵極易掛上濃稠肉汁。

Chicken Parmigiana $168
It is a classic Italian dish of breaded chicken breast covered in melty mozzarella cheese and is served with bright and tangy tomato sauce to provide a contrast to the fried cutlets and rich cheese. The coating is flavorful and crispy.

作為一道經典的意大利菜，裹著麵包糠的雞胸肉以半熔的Mozzarella芝士舖面， 配合酸酸甜甜的番茄醬，與炸雞和濃郁的芝士形成鮮明對比，外層炸漿香脆可口。

Braised Ox Cheek $218
Slow-cooking is perfect for ox cheek meat which is a thick working muscle. It turns this tough meat into a wonderfully rich and tender delicacy. Ox cheek is braised in red wine, every mouthful is juicy and luscious. It matches in a perfect way with the deep, warm, complex flavours of red wine.

牛面頰肉原是一種厚實的肌肉，所以非常適合用來慢煮，將原本堅韌的牛肉變得柔軟入味，加入紅酒燉煮，每一口鮮嫩多汁，完美搭配紅酒那種深沉、溫暖、複雜的酒香。

Tiramisu $58
Tiramisu is a rich treat blending the bold flavors of cocoa and espresso, the cake melts in the mouth without being too sweet.

提拉米蘇融合了苦香可可和濃縮咖啡粉，蛋糕質感入口即化，不會過於甜膩。

Tofu Panna Cotta $58
This panna cotta does not taste like usual because it is inspired by Hong Kong's favourite "Tofu Fa", made with fresh tofu and topped with a toffee-like-sweet syrup made with red sugar and light soy sauce. Its delicate sweetness and smooth tofu texture make it a perfect treat at the end of a meal.

奶凍與傳統口味有所不同，由於啟發自香港人氣小食豆腐花，奶凍是以新鮮豆腐製成，融合以黃糖及淡豉油製成、如拖肥糖般的甜糖漿，其細膩有層次的甜味和吹風可破的軟滑豆腐質地為晚餐完美作結。

It is difficult to find Nasi Ulam in Singapore and I am so happy that I manage to get a slot at Straits Curry Company tonight. 🎉 I have been looking forward to this dinner for many days, they are so popular that I booked at least 3 weeks in advance.

Conclusion? Very very good! The ingredients were painstakingly chopped into small shreds so you got a bite of everything in one mouthful. It is so fresh and fragrant, served together with Ayam Percik and Assam Prawns.

Raw greens such as kacang botol and cucumber were added for extra crunch and freshness. They even have a few slices of finger root today which makes a nice palate refresher.

This absolute labour of love is complete when paired with their fiery homemade sambal belacan. It popped powerfully on the palette. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal tonight. ❤️

Chef Maxime also improvises the commonly practiced croûte de sel (French salt-baking) technique into “sugar-baking”. The approach is more or less the same but he replaces sea salt with brown sugar. As such, the quail absorbs the natural sweetness of brown sugar. How genius! He pairs the quail with Daikoku Honshimeji mushroom, pistachio quail jus and rocket puree. The sweet nuttiness of the pistachio in the rich quail jus responds well with the quail infused with sugar-baked aroma; not only does the spiciness of the ocket puree complement the pistachio and sliced mushroom, it acts to balance the rich quail jus also.    
 
It’s a bit tiring to savor Chef Maxime’s dishes because of their high complexity, both in terms of construction and technique. It’s an exciting journey nevertheless discovering surprise after surprise at each tongue-tingling mouthful.  I told Chef Maxime: “If I were to compare your creations to sex, then you have so many tricks and it never gets dull!” He giggled and nodded in agreement: “Cooking is like making love, there must be ups and downs, twists and turns. When you’re the zone then the sex will be unforgettable.”

法菜中常見「鹽焗」（croûte de sel）烹調方式，又讓Chef Maxime緊緊捉住概念轉化成「糖焗」！大同小異的做法，只是把粗鹽換成黃糖，這麼一來，乳鴿吸收的不是鹹香，而是黃糖的自然甜香！是不是很天才？配菜是大黑本菇、開心果鴿汁、芝麻菜菜蓉——濃郁的鴿汁裡頭必須有開心果的堅果甜香來回應鴿身吸收的糖焗香氣，還要加上一點芝麻菜的菜蓉來跟開心果、菇片有個交流，以芝麻菜的獨特辛香讓本菇的植物性umami不至於太寡，同時中和鴿汁的濃郁。

Chef Maxime的菜，是會吃得有點累的菜式，因為菜品結構間的線索頗多，技術含量相對也高，每一道都有在他想像遊走間的起承轉合，在舌尖營造一閃一閃的驚喜。我跟Chef Maxime說：「如果把你的菜比喻為性愛，你的性愛是永不沈悶的招數！」他聽了邊大笑邊點頭認同；「做菜就跟做愛一樣，要有高低起伏，要有起承轉合，要令人不知生死，最後回味無窮！」
