Immerse Yourself in a Retro Library with a Variety of Gourmet Dishes

Restaurant: Bochord (Causeway Bay) Address: Shop 1101, 11/F, World Trade Centre, 280 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay The World Trade Centre in Causeway Bay has undergone major renovations in recent years, attracting numerous restaurants 🍽️. Bochord, an elegant Western restaurant on the 11th floor, has been open for over half a year. The decor is inspired by the restaurant's ancient English name, Bochord, which means library 📚. The restaurant is adorned with classical books, complemented by a wood-tone color scheme and dark green sofa chairs, creating a vintage and classical ambiance 😌. The staff seated us by the window, offering views of the streets of Causeway Bay and Victoria Harbour 🏙️. The seating is spacious and comfortable, and I've heard there's live music every night 🎶, making it a great place for gatherings 👍. We came for lunch this time. Their Executive Lunch Menu changes every two weeks, offering options of 3-Course ($398), 4-Course ($468), or 5-Course ($548). I chose the 4-Course, which includes an appetizer, soup, main course, and dessert. Shortly after we sat down, the staff brought us super crispy, refillable Spanish sourdough bread 🥖, which paired wonderfully with basil tomato butter or sea salt butter 🧈. ✝️ French Duck Breast Tartare The crispy Italian cannelloni is filled with 52-degree slow-cooked smoked duck breast 🦆, garnished with French herbs and Greek yogurt 🌱. The dish has a rich texture, and the duck breast is neither too salty nor too greasy, achieving a well-balanced flavor 🤓. ✝️ Lobster Bisque (+$58) A rich lobster bisque 🦞 with chunks of fresh lobster meat. The sourdough puff pastry, baked to order, is dipped into the soup, and combined with brandy whipped cream, it becomes even more delicious. The puff pastry absorbs all the essence of the soup 😋. ✝️ Red Wood Charcoal Grilled Australian Lamb The 110g lamb chop is grilled to a juicy, non-gamey perfection 🐑. It comes with two pieces of 52-degree slow-cooked lamb loin wrapped in Parma ham, which can be enjoyed with Chimichurri sauce or one of four mustard sauces. If you love lamb, this is a must-try 😎. ✝️ Lemongrass Mousse Cake This exquisite dessert is made with mango chunks, mango jelly 🥭, lemon mousse, and cream 🍋. The mousse has a smooth ice cream-like texture, and the crispy biscuit adds a contrasting texture. The flavor is fresh and light 🌿. For a guy, a 4-Course meal is more than enough to be full, especially with an extra piece or two of sourdough bread. With great service and a beautiful environment ✨, this place is definitely worth a visit 👏.
