Restaurant review: Ink in Tsim Sha Tsui offers tasty oyster doughnuts and stunning views – but skip the chicken and soft drinks

  • Located at the newly reopened Hong Kong Museum of Art, Ink is a relaxed alfresco dining spot with fantastic views over Victoria Harbour
  • We were impressed by the curried oyster doughnut, but the buttermilk fried chicken thigh was dry and the soft drinks overpriced

Ink, at the newly reopened Hong Kong Museum of Art, offers alfresco dining a stone’s throw from the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The 60-seat casual self-service shop serves up grab ‘n’ go bites, local craft beers and home-made seasonal ice cream.

The atmosphere is relaxed, giving diners a chance to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong and enjoy stunning views of Victoria Harbour.

We were impressed by the curried oyster doughnut (HK$45), which was flavourful and cooked well.

The oyster was large and the dish had a subtle curry flavour. The doughnut was perfectly done, too – deliciously crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

The octopus poke (HK$75), listed under “the big hits” section on the menu, paired well with edamame, pickled radish and spring onion. The seafood had a nice, smoky flavour and tender texture but, unusually for poke, the rice was hot.
