Table

Table, a cosy and relaxed outlet tucked away on the 8th floor of the foodie building Pemberton in Sheung Wan, is our latest pleasant dining discovery. The force behind Table is the vivacious owner/chef Sandy Keung, an investment banker–turned-restaurateur, whose is passionately committed to creating innovative dishes from environmentally clean and quality ingredients – ingredient-based cooking, if you will, but with flexible cooking styles and cuisines as inspired by the ingredients themselves. The other distinction is that the seafood is properly “depurated” via a specialty tank to cleanse of its wastes that are accumulated from transporting from its origination, thus giving the seafood a fresher taste.

Signature dishes include Soy Marinated Crab Sashimi Mud Cake ($HK268), Pan Fried Abalone, Lardo Crudo, Citrus Salad (from HK$98 to HK$150), Spanish Red Prawn, 9 Year Old Aged Risotto (HK$288), 1++ Korean Ribeye (HK$90/oz), and 63 Degree egg, Lobster Foam, Hokkaido Uni (HK$228) and more, including a delightful selection of desserts. The ingredients selected clearly demonstrate Chef Sandy’s commitment to his establishment’s culinary raison d’etre.
