Steik World Meats (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

Steik World Meats has been around since the opening of the K11 Shopping Mall and was listed as a Michelin recommended restaurant for 3 straight years. Ironically, this was only my first time here and the only reason we picked it tonight was largely due to how close it was to where my friend and I live! 

As usual, I would do a little research before I eat at any new restaurant. Turns out Steik World Meats is a member of the Epicurean group, the same group behind longtime local favorites Jimmy's Kitchen, The Peak Lookout and iL Posto 97. Steik World Meats is positioned as an upscale steakhouse so expect premium cuts of beef sourced from around the world among other popular steakhouse dishes such as lobster bisque, crab cakes, beef tartare, pan seared scallops etc. 



This was the main dining room at around 7pm when I arrived. Almost completely vacant but it was full less than an hour later.



I wasn't in the mood for a lot of meat tonight so decided to start things off with a lobster bisque with garlic rouille, Gruyère and croutons. It was so rich and flavorful.



Even more successful was our next starter, a pan-seared foie gras with sticky date pudding and preserved cherry jus. Both slabs of foie gras were perfectly seared with a melt-in-your-mouth texture.



Seared Japanese Hokkaido scallops were served with aromatic green curry crust and a small Nam Jim salad. This was the most disappointing dish of the night. The green curry crust was the culprit here overshadowing the naturally sweet and rich taste of the scallops.



We decided to just order one main course to share and it's not beef. Instead it's grilled marinated Spanish iberico pork loin with a smoked eggplant salad. 

Our server recommended our pork loin to be served medium (pink) but we were always concerned with undercooked pork so we ended up having it well done.

The Spanish iberico pork was quite flavorful. The texture was slightly dry although still fairly tender and it would probably be better if we elected to have it at medium.



Steik World Meats was a relatively pleasant surprise for us. I thought with the exception of the scallops, all of our dishes were of good quality and we certainly won't hesitate to come back another time.
