Dining at Aqua in Hong Kong

Photo credit: Trip Advisor

Aqua in Hong Kong is an example of the city's fine dining scene, a place to see and be seen that includes far more than great people watching.  The glassed in view from the 30th floor of One Peking Road offers a priceless view of Hong Kong's dazzling skyline.  We were lucky enough to arrive for dinner in time for the Symphony of Lights (the waterfront's nightly light show) as well as that night's vibrant electrical storm, and watched the lasers as well as the lightning bolts dance.

While some call Aqua Italian-Japanese fusion, it is not fusion cuisine so much as a place where both cuisines coexist.  The AquaRoma section of the menu meets the AquaTokyo half, allowing dinners to jump freely from sushi to pizza and back to yakitori.  I think the underlying concept is more that in Hong Kong, those with a little money to spend have a lot of choice in swanky ways to spend it.  

Dinner was excellent, but in the future I'll come by for a cocktail and to drink in the view.
