The hippest Kitchen in town

Had lunch with a friend at The Kitchen in the W Hotel, Hong Kong. The buffet spread was in the "kitchen" of the restaurant, making the dining experience a little amusing. Add the LCD panels substituting as paintings that moved, and you get a very hip dining experience with top notch service complete with handsome waiters in smart suits. The food was excellent, very high quality and well prepared - loved the salad and cold dish spreads at one end of the kitchen.The customized-to-order tempura was a nice touch as well, but save room for the desserts. All the pastries look decadent and yummy.

I love the tongue firmly in cheek humor injected into the restaurant decor, from the books used as place mats, white poultry pieces and the stacked bowls in the display cabinets all lend a cool factor to The Kitchen, but then again, that's the signature W touch across all their hotels around the globe.
