Cassio Hongkong

Nice place for dine and drink!

I had a craving for Spanish omelettes so decided to return here for it because the one here has liquid Japanese egg yolk inside. For starters, we had the Hand sliced Acorn fed Iberico Jamon which was slightly waxy and oily with a salty touch to it without being too salty. It was followed by creamy Iberico ham croquettes which were crispy filled with silky potato puree and tasty ham. The Pan con tomate was really appetizing with tangy Spanish tomatoes on crispy Spanish bread slices flown from Spain. Next was the flawless Spinach and pear salad with Idiazabal cheese, pecan nuts, pomegranite and 15 year old balsamic. Everything was well balanced with the sweetness of the pear and bursting pomegranite seeds. There were lots of choices for Ceviche but I liked the scallop ceviche because of the citrus dressing and chilis. Basically I have a weak spot for citrus flavours because it is so moreish. Next was Spanish cabinero with potato suquet and picada sauce. This dish was unexpectedly filling because of the rich and soft fluffy potatoes beneath it. I am picky with beef but the US beef fricando tenderloin and porcini veggies was excellent. Every slice of beef was so tender that you could separate it with your fork. The lamb cutlet with pearl onions, aubergines, romesco sauce was rich and the lamb was tender and moist. I really appreciate how clean the lamb chops were because the fat had been trimmed and the lining has been removed from the bones. The spanish omelette was just as good as the first time I tried it if not better because it had my favourite mushrooms and springy prawns while the liquid yolk was just unbeatable. For dessert, we shared a dessert platter which had churros, chocolate tart, icecream and cheesecake. The dessert is best paired with tea. The mocktails that night were great too, my favourites were the strawberry and lime.

Always a fun time at Cassio! Whether it's dinner or GNO w friends, visiting Cassio is a must for a good time in Hong Kong!
