When I first found out about this restaurant, it sounded really familiar but I didn't know why.
Heard about it late last year but soon forgot about it because the English name is just so random.
I was recently reminded of this place because a friend went and it turns out the location is where CASA used to be.
The menu had so much to offer so it was really difficult to choose.
Every dish we had turned out amazing so I was really pleased especially the ingredients they used.
Started with bread which was served hot.
For the appetizers had the salad, it was nice and hearty as there were sweet chestnuts which you won't find this time of the year and it makes the salad more memorable.
There were chunks of sweet Japanese pumpkin which were sweet and firm.
It was topped with delicious crispy kelp that were crushed into powder and made into these thin crackers which you eat with the salad.
Also had the red endive salad because hardly any restaurant serves this in Hong Kong.
The endive is similar to Chicory which has a bitter taste but the endive salad here was dressed with pomegranate, red cabbage and bottarga which gives it a lovely salty taste.
For mains had the black garlic gnocchi which is basically gnocchi mixed with black garlic.
The sauce which is also black is finely blended onion puree with squid ink and it had a lovely sweet taste owing to the onions.
Finished with the coconut sorbet which was another must for me.
Again it is so difficult to get rhubarb as no one eats this in HK.
I appreciate the generous chunks of rhubarb which were still crisp and intact because some rhubarbs can be rather mushy after being cooked.
Overall, I liked every dish that was ordered.
After I went home I googled this weird English name which almost looks like the secret language that kids speaks in English Schools.
It turns out that TF:vs:JS is a music band and they used to have a restaurant in Ngau Tau Kok which I didn't even know about.
Further googling show the food quality there was just as creative as the dishes I tried here.
So TF:vs:JS is here to stay!
