If you like things that go bump in the night…?

In many ways, the Whale Inside Dark restaurant, conveniently located at Jian Wai SOHO, defies the traditional measures by which one would rate a restaurant. For example, in terms of décor and food presentation, I am completely in the dark, and that is because patrons of Whale Inside Dark dine in complete darkness.

Upon arrival my dinner partner and I were shown to the bar. After having selected from a menu of prix fixe options, we left our valuables in a storage locker and were led through two curtains and into the pitch.
