He calls himself the Demon Chef and had the Chinese words tattooed on his arm.

Of course, he's gotta flaunt it on the wall and make sure everyone who comes to his restaurant don't miss the mural.

The dining room is simple and modern and has a good view of the open kitchen

There is no room for plain and boring dinner rolls at Bo.
Here The Demon takes Hong Kong's popular egg waffle "gai dan zai" street snack and adds bits of
Iberico ham and mustard for that salty-sweet kick then serves it wrapped in some old calendar page.

I know right away this is gonna be a wild, wild dinner.

FOIE GRAS
"mui choy"
Pan seared foie gras paired with… wait for it... preserved mustard green ice cream! Wicked!

HAR MI
"lo mien", chili, sage, carabinero
I don't know how he does it, but this tastes like the addicting orange goo I love in Shanghai hairy crabs

TOMATO
pat chun, "lam kok"
Tomato three ways: tomato marshmallow, tomato fritter cooked with "lam kok" or Chinese olive,
and pat chun or Chinese black vinegar-poached cherry tomato which explodes with the sweetest
juice as I pop it in my mouth.

MOLECULAR
xiao long bao
All the juices of the soupy dumpling, they injected into this molecular membrane paper to form a
round blob, Ferran Adria style. The red strip on top is the vinegar and ginger dipping sauce.

CRAB
chili
A light souffle made with hairy crab. Need I say more?

CENTURY EGG
pickled ginger
The Demon goes molecular again this time with century egg and pickled ginger jus.
He pours it on dry ice in a martini glass. The effect, PINK BUBBLES!

CORAL TROUT
hunan ham, dried mandarin peel, chanterelles
This is just alright, probably the most unexciting dish of the night

 

 

IMG 1597

ABALONE
noirmoutier potato, "shui gao", seaweed, citrus

BEEF
truffled tendon, daikon, spiced consomme
Don't let the clear broth fool you. It's one of the richest soups I've ever had.
Made my lips all yummy and sticky.

 

 

IMG 1603

Melt-in-your-mouth is an understatement.
Watch and weep, my friends, watch and weep.

PINEAPPLE
buttercream, 3 peppers, ying yang
His take on Hong Kong's pineapple bun "polo bao" with 3 cubes of pineapple dusted with pink
peppercorn, star anise, and salt & pepper. In the mug is half milk tea, half coffee, half hot, half cold.

SANDALWOOD
chinese almonds, orange chocolate
The scent of wood envelopes the sweet treat. Feels like eating chocolate in a Chinese temple.
