One of our favourite inside-a-mall restaurants, Lian, (the others, in case you were wondering, include Zen, Crystal Jade and Dan Ryan’s) has recently launched a summer menu. In case their beautiful floating pond of flowers that also serves as their central dining table wasn’t beguiling enough, now they are adding some delicious dishes to entice us further. Plain old Australian or US beef so doesn’t make the grade anymore: everyone, but everyone (actually Pho 26 is the only other place as far as we know, but surely it’s only a matter of time) is serving wagyu pho nowadays. Lian is serving wagyu beef from Saga for $198; you tell us if it’s worth it. Other noteworthy additions include an authentic Vietnamese “da-lat” beef shin in thick spicy sauce (HK$165) while their Thai kitchen is also launching new dishes such as a Thai stir-fried mud crab curry (HK$380) and a spicy Thai-inspired New Zealand mussels in green tomato curry served with French bread (HK$185).
