Bistronomique (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

It's a great feeling to finally see the West Island line in operation mode before the start of 2015. Although only two out of the three new stations (HKU and Kennedy Town) opened on 28th December, we're still in a bit of celebratory mood this week.



In order to witness this moment in history, I decided to take a ride on this extension to Sai Wan on its second day of operation.



Of course, a trip to Kennedy Town is never complete without visiting either Bistronomique or Bistro Du Vin.



We picked Bistronomique over its arch-rival (Bistro Du Vin) today for no particular reason.




Well, maybe it's the view on the mezzanine floor that helped us make our choice.



Pumpkin velouté was beautifully velvety.



Even more impressive was the salmon gravlax with a small garden green.



For main course, I had the wild mushroom risotto with a little parmesan cheese shaving. Another superb offering. I am starting to fall in love with this place.



Last but not least, a lovely grilled pork chop to wrap up this wonderful lunch.



Great bistro food by the sea in the heart of the Kennedy Town area. These days, it's no longer a hidden gem with the West Island line in full swing.
