Funky Fish Review
Funky Fish is a Japanese restaurant at the top of the Langham Place mall in Mongkok. I don’t often go to Japanese restaurants, I tend to indulge my sushi craving at lunchtimes so they tend to get overlooked when it comes to dinner.
I don’t often go to Mongkok either, under normal circumstances the mere suggestion would be enough to fill me with horror but then someone said “There’s restaurants up there you know…”
Well I didn’t know. I’d sort of suspected there must be, but I was using lack of evidence as an excuse not to go and look. So when that someone threw down the gauntlet like that there was only one thing for it.
So there I was one rung from the top and getting hungry. I had been to the top and there are restaurants there but I made the mistake of peering over the edge into the abyss of shops below. I beat a hasty retreat, down a floor and ducked into Funky Fish.
The vertigo was just beginning to subside but the waitress led me to a table that offered just an inch thickness of glass between my back and a fall of … I concentrated hard on the menu. The sushi and sashimi was tempting but I wanted to try something a bit different this time. The waitress was very helpful and patiently answered all my questions.
My first question had about what was included in the Chef’s Selection Appetizer Box ($98). She explained that it contains nine different dishes some of which are on the regular menu but others that vary slightly from day to day depending on what chef finds in the market. It’s quite big and is usually shared.
I was hungry so I ordered one anyway and a bottle of Asahi beer to go with it. All of the dishes in the box were tasty but the ones that stood out for me were the octopus in shiso wasabi sauce, braised whelks and one of the two squid dishes. I’m afraid I don’t know what the sauce was – the waitress couldn’t remember the English name (and I forgot the Chinese name) but I can tell you it was very good indeed.
It’s a popular restaurant. I’d arrived about 7.30 and was one of the first customers but by eight it was doing a brisk trade.
You don’t have to have fish – the menu includes beef teppenyaki as well as lamb, pork and chicken options. But I love fish, and while the grilled yellowtail and the salmon belly were both tempting, I went for the herb grilled sea bass with fried bean curd sheet.
The fish was firm and fresh and quite a generous size. Nevertheless I did find myself wondering if I should order a noodle dish to finish off. But then some noodles were delivered to the people sitting nearby and I came to the realisation that it would indeed be too much.
Instead I ordered a dessert of sesame mousse ($38). There were also numerous green tea options on the dessert menu including ice cream and whilst I don’t mind it I find it hard to get all that enthusiastic about it. Sesame in the other hand is a wonderful dessert flavour. My mousse, sweet but not too sugary, was served in coconut milk and was delicious but could perhaps have benefited from being just a little more chilled than it was.
I paid my bill and got up from the table trying desperately not to look down. There’s a lot more in Langham Place and I shall be back to explore in a little more depth before long.
