At our table at Aqua

The moody, evocative lighting, the sensory-stimulating, tactical design to the furniture, and view-from-every seat layout of this multi-tiered restaurant Aqua (thanks for the lead on this place, Mister Castanon!) was spectacular. It was perched on top floor of a towering shkyscraper with floor to ceiling windows at least three stories high. Like most of the high-end commercial establishments in HK, it was brilliantly, indulgently, over-the-top executed. (If this is the future of communism, sign me up!) The food was amazing, too. Thinly sliced steak wrapped around torandos of chopped eggplant, then grilled. Crab fried rice. Tempura vegetables. Heavenly.
