Whey

XO Handsome★★

Whey is a 1-star contemporary restaurant known for its Singaporean influenced cuisine. Online reservation is straightforward. The main dining room is spacious and elegant. Servers might not be rude, but a couple of them are not that friendly. Although there is only one tasting menu (HK$ 1,398/person) for dinner, the details are wrongly printed. Each dish is presented with an introduction which sounds like a recording in the fast-forwarding mode. The fusion-based courses are beautifully presented, with all the sauces being served at the table. While seafood is the main ingredient for most of the dishes, the heavy seasonings are simply too overpowering. Honestly, the freshness is all gone by the time the food enters the mouth. Highlight of the evening is the surprisingly refreshing abalone cold pasta “Asam Laksa Dry Noodles – abalone, lamma hae bee”, which costs HK$288/person additionally. For a dinner that costs HK$2,000/person, there are definitely better options in town.

Whey offers a pretty innovative and cool Singaporean fusion tasting menu at a reasonable enough price for the high quality food that they churn out. The service is top quality, as is the atmosphere. I have a lot of respect for fine dining restaurants that don’t feel overly pretentious, i felt very welcomed at whey, and the service was very personable while still maintaining a high standard of professionalism. In terms of the food, 75% of the menu was absolutely outstanding. Highlights included the bonus crab curry course, the dry aged pigeon dish, the canadian lobster with pickled jackfruit and pandan sauce, as well as almost all of the canapés and entrees. If the meal had ended after the last savoury course i would have gone home feeling entirely fulfilled and thinking that Whey had deserved their michelin star that they have held for 4 straight years. However, the dessert offering here was something that was found entirely lacking and not, in my opinion, up to the standard of what

Amazing brioche, buttery but not heavy at all. If you have never been to Whey, you can try their lunch set first. Reasonable price and reasonable portion. The service was also attentive and friendly. There's an add on option for the abalone noodle, the abalone was really tender and flavorful. But if you're not an abalone fan, might not be your dish.

2nd visit at Whey. Everything still stood out as I expected, from the Pie Tee to the entry, from the old friend Buah Keluak brioche to the mains. The fragrance of each dish really made me put down all prejudices of carbs for the time while I enjoyed them. The staff is attentive and welcoming as always. Will come back to continue the culinary journey.

Whey gave me one of the best modern dining experiences I ever had in Hong Kong. From the very beginning, the hospitality felt warm but not too formal, and the team explained every dish with passion. The tasting menu shows creativity but also clear flavor balance. I could feel the chef’s personality in each plate. My favorite was the bread course and the final dessert, but honestly everything was memorable. The interior, the pacing, the plating, all felt very thoughtful. This is a restaurant I can recommend with full confidence. A must-visit in Hong Kong for anyone who loves culinary experience more than just eating. ソムリエ、サービススタッフ、シェフもみんな最高でした。

Our dining experience at Whey was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish was executed with care, precision and tasted amazing, but the level of service and hospitality demonstrated by Chef Barry, Christina and the team was truly the star of our lunch experience. We will be thinking about that Mao Shan Wang ice cream and caviar for a long time to come!!!

One of the most well executed modern dining experiences I've had in HK. Christina and Dino made sure I was welcomed and comfortable throughout the meal. Food was done right per their description and it says a lot, kudos to Chef Barry. Usually modern contemporary Asian meal translates to watered down Asian spices presented in fine dine settings. Chef Barry made sure this was not the case. I have inhaled my fair share of Singaporean food from hawker centers, and to actually experience that none of the distinct Singaporean flavors were lost in the course was praiseworthy. They were highlighted instead in Whey's own way (pun intended). Make sure to try the abalone laksa if you ever visit. The liok teng kek (six layer cake) desert was beautiful and delicious to end the meal. Accompanying the meal was a very thoughtful wine programme. The somms have a good understanding of the flavor profile of each course and what to recommend. If you think of Singaporean spices and wine pairing, even Cha

food was amazing. really did an amazing job integrating south eastern asian ingredients into western techniques. we enjoyed almost every dish. the sommelier was also friendly, knowledgeable and professional. zs group always delivers the highest quality of food! however, the service from one of the waiters (i think her name is tina?) was so bad that even the great food couldn’t compensate. she literally dropped plates on our table and never smiled or said anything even when we said thank you to her. fine, just a little cold but not a big problem. then when she served us the dessert (again she was literally banging the plates in front of us) she started by “so this dessert..” then she dashed to another table to greet the guests who just got seated. we were left flabbergasted: are we supposed to wait for her to come back and continue or what?! and as she moved on to introduce the menu to that table we realized she probably wouldn’t come back and we started eating. Halfway through she se
