 Wind past a hotel buffet and around a dark corner in the InterContinental Hong Kong to find this dining room that earns its reputation as one of Asia’s best spots for steak. Like the sides of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes it pushes like any good steakhouse, it knows just when to be boisterously over-the-top and just when to sit back and let the hulking plates of USDA Prime beef, Canadian Angus and Australian Wagyu, plus a rotating selection of home dry-aged beef, do the talking. Tableside presentations includes eight different salts (Hawaiian pink, sel de Guérande) and ten knives from around the world (Japanese-made Global or the French classic Laguiole) from a smiling waiter in a red apron. Meals here are all about the meat. Grilled over charcoal and be it Dutch milk-fed veal, an entire leg of lamb or a bone-in rib-eye there's a nip of smoke in the meat to offset the chew and sweet pink juices when cooked medium rare. As a prelude for those who can wait, there is also an elaborate salad bar---the ideal start to this hearty dining experience. One of Hong Kong's best sommeliers steers guests through a fine wine list that's strong on new-world reds like American Pinot or Rhône-style Australian. Pre-order at least one of the chocolate fondant or apple tarte Tatin. They're cartoonishly big and admirably tasty, and that's exactly why meals here succeed.
