HANDS - Craft Beer & Magic — Restaurant in Kowloon

TGIF and decided to treat myself to some me time at Hand Craft Beer & Magic in Prince Edward, Hong Kong. This restaurant specializes in a wide selection of craft beers from around the world, including award-winning options and local Hong Kong brands. The attentive staff, particularly the waiter, took the time to understand my taste preferences and guided me through the craft beer choices, making it feel like a personalized beer class.

In addition to the impressive craft beer selection, the restaurant offers regular magic performances, adding an entertaining touch to the experience.

Among the beers I tried, the Green Grape Honey Beer stood out with its refreshing grape aroma, cider-like taste, and subtle hints of honey and malt. It's a delightful option, especially for women.

The Beer Pool Meatballs, marinated with craft beer, were a standout bar snack. They were tender, juicy, and paired perfectly with the homemade sauce cooked with onions and beer, offering a delightful sweetness.

For the main course, the Whole Soft-Shell Crab Cheese Pasta featured handmade pasta with a satisfying chewy texture. The deep-fried soft-shell crab was crispy and flavorful, complemented by a rich cheese cream sauce made with beer and other ingredients.

As a beer enthusiast, I find joy in exploring different craft beers and their unique flavors. Hand Craft Beer & Magic has many more options I'm eager to try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, where I'll invite my colleagues to join me and share...

Honestly I never expect much on bar food, but this magic bar in Prince Edward called HANDS absolutely amazed me with their high quality dishes and variety of beers. The staff explained the menu in detail courteously which I highly appreciated.

Duck confit was made with their home recipe. Served with lemon sauce to neutralize the oiliness. Moist and tender meat with a good amount of melting fat. Pleasant herbal aroma, not oversalted like other duck confit that I had at other places.

Opposed to the powdered version, the mashed potatoes were homemade. Creamy and rich yet still preserving chunks of soft-boiled potatoes to add more texture.

Ordered a beer tasting set of draft beer with 4 crafts of my choice

🍺FRUITY - Heroes Jasmine Green Tea Wheat Beer Floral and citrus. Very light tea finishing. Paired well with the duck confit. 🍺HOPPY - Deeds Brewing A Quiet Deed 2022 DIPA brewed with 8 hops. Piney, bitter. A strong beer to be savored slowly. 🍺SOUR - Yardley Brothers Fuzz Box Peach Yoghurt Mixed Fermentation Sour Barely noticed it had a 9% ABV. Thick and sour, peachy, almost like a puree. 🍺MALTY - Carbon Brews x Fineprint Cool Beans Coffee Stout Earthy, nutty, bitter. Roasted coffee, dark chocolate. Rich...
