Review of the new Kai Duck restaurant at Takashimaya. Understated, casual but chic atmosphere. The long menu scores high on innovation, with lots of creative dishes or classic ones with a new touch. Unfortunately- and this may be teething issue only - execution can be improved: the duck tongues are too soft, the poached rice a bit too bland, the chilled black fungus a bit too salty, the roasted duck is less good than at ImpTreas or Crystal Jade, etc. The high-on-innovation/average-on-execution comment also applies to the staff uniform: unusual but highly unlikely to win any fashion award.
