⇨ Bo Innovation
The OG of Hong Kong modernist cooking, Bo Innovation breaks down all barriers of traditional Chinese food and reconstruct them in its creative vision. With so many dishes that use a wide spread of different techniques, we decided to focus on another classic of molecular cuisine: sperification. Using special chemical components, you can shape liquids into spheres of whatever size, as small as caviar or as big as a soup dumpling! With the tasting menu ($2,380) at Bo Innovation, the prelude to your meal is dubbed Child’s Play, an array of snacks inspired by Hong Kong classics. Amongst them is a soft sphere resting on a single spoon, boasting the condensed flavours of a xiaolongbao in liquid form, with a piece of fermented red ginger on top to accentuate the flavours. Don’t try to bite into it; because it’s a liquid dome and highly sensitive to pressure, it will instantly burst, so just pick up the spoon and slurp it down!
