Hunger is good discipline, said the great writer Ernest Hemingway, and he is right on the money. You may want to keep a clean palate and a healthy appetite once you step foot into this cozy Latin American digs on the hip and happening Hongkong street. Vasco, reputed for procuring predominantly decadent Latin spirits such as mezcal, pisco and rum for its cocktails does serve up pretty spiffy tapas and nosh to boot too!
In sync with the Latin Americans impossible sense of positivity, the staff at Vasco are a happy bunch. Fitting in squarely with the casual vibes that stem from the South American bar, decked out with leather booth seatings, distressed tile work and a bar that would make your brows rise from the unusual absence of the regular whisky and gin gang.
To start off, we had two colourful renditions of ceviches. The Snapper Ceviche ($22) reveals cubes of snapper sprinkled with red onions, this sailed off smoothly on our gastronomical journey, revving our senses with devilishly spicy red Ecuador peppers. Regrettably, the Salmon Ceviche($22) lacked astringency, the Leche de Tigre giving off a milky creamy taste that muddled the experience of the sea.
