A touch of Italian and Modern Fusion

Found out about this place through a friend, the name Bistroholic sounded really familiar.
It turns out that it is run under the Coffeeholic group in Sheung Wan, hence the name.
When you get there, you are greeted with this modern bar table by the window with flamingoes and a mini leaning tower of Pisa at the other end of the room.

The menu was really good with a wide variety.
Here was what we had:
++++++
Sweet corn soup bisque with salted caramel popcorn:
I loved the way, the soup was sweetcorn all the way through with sweet corn soup bisque paired with popcorn which is also made of popcorn.
It had a lovely sweet touch from the caramel on the popcorn, so sweet or savoury popcorn would both work and it just makes the soup a fun part of dinner.

Next were the Chicken wings stuffed with Taiwanese sausage and prawn.
Interesting combination!
The chicken skin was so crispy that they cracked when you put your fork in them which was brilliant as there isn't much fat underneath the skin.
++++
The Matsusaka pork confit with smoked romaine salad was another surprise.
I am not a fan of pork, but the pork here is thinly sliced, tender and silky seasoned well by the truffle and has an aromatic smoky flavour to it complimented by the air dried apples.
+++++
For pasta we had the Spaghetti marinara with Argentina red prawn with mussels and Taiwanese peeled jalapeno.
The pasta was al dente and the Taiwanese peeled Jalapenos gave a lovely tangy punch with a spicy kick to it.
+++++++++
We also had the Pan seared Hokkaido scallops risotto with sea urchin prawn jus.
This was seriously rich with uni and prawn jus but I liked it.
+++++
Slow Cooked Iberico Pork with Anchovy Tomato Jus:
The Iberico pork was lovely and juicy as it was slow cooked and it went really well with the tasty Anchovy tomato sauce.
I liked the mash and grilled vegetables that came with it because it makes it complete.
++++
Finished with Tiramisu which is light and moreish as it is soft and creamy just how it should be with an alcoholic soaked sponge in the middle.
At the moment if you book through FB, you get truffle seasoning, truffle pate and a cash coupon when you dine there. (whilst stocks last).
