The lunch set in Chesa is always the best choice for enjoying lunch with a reasonable price.

Lunch set 1
Appetizer: Shrimp cocktail with melon
Four large and fresh shrimp are put beautifully in a glass with a bed of marinated melon. A very refreshing appetizer in hot summer!

Main: Grilled lamb chops
Three pieces of lamb chops are grilled to just well-done as requested. Juicy and tender!

Dessert: Bread and butter pudding
A excellent choice for sweet lover. Large portion. Very creamy. The crispy almond, sweet raisin and sour berry sorbert made a mixture of hot and cold, sweet and sour, soft and crispy. Just wonderful!

Lunch set 2
Appetizer: White fish consumme
I think it tastes like chicken soup in can. haha.....

Main: Roasted veal loin
This one is not bad. But I think its signature dish: veal and mushroom in light cream sauce, is much better. May be that is the only good way to cook veal

Dessert: Dark chocolate pot-de-cream with vanilla ice-cream
Very rich dark chocolate. Best for chocolate lover.

The lunch ended with latte/mocha and petit four. We are too full to finish them all

My friend saw the adv on the newspaper that the Aspasia will close on 24 October. So we went there for lunch.
The waitress introduced two menus to us. One is the normal Executive Set Lunch menu and another is the FINDS menu. She said that FINDS will take over Aspasia and opens in Nov.
FINDS means Finland, Iceland, Normay, Denmark and Sweden. So the resturant sells northern europe food. The FINDS lunch is much cheaper than the Executive Lunch, from $108 with soup and salad, to $188 with soup, salad, main and dessert. The Executive Lunch was from $218, with appentiser, Secondi (soup or pasta) and dessert.
We had one Executive Set Lunch and one FINDS lunch set to share.
Executive Lunch $218
Appentiser: Carpaccio of Wagyu Eyeround

: the beef was cut very thin. the fat melted in the mouth. however, there was some 渣. Not perfect.
Secondi: Spaghettini with Tuna Belly Tartare

The spaghetti was very al denta. slight taste of white wine was mixed with the strong taste of garlic. the tomato gave a sweet taste in between. however, where was the tuna?? I nearly forgot that. There was only very very very little tuna at the bottom. Was tuna so expensive??
Dessert: Riccotta cannoel
the ricotta was not smooth and creamy enough. the pastry was not very crispy. the one in Angelini was much better.

FINDS set lunch $168
Appentiser: Autumn Salad with Duck Pastrami
The salad was very good. Plenty of differnt kinds of vegetable such as aspargus, beans, and lettuce. the vinegar sauce was yummy. The Duck Pastrami tasted like liver. we do not quite like it.
Main: Singature House-smoked Samon
I think we should have salmon is a restraunt selling Scandinavian food. The salmon was just cooked with strong smoke flavour. The salmon was still very tender. Delicious.
Dessert: Baileys Cheesecake
the cheese cake is very normal itself. however, it became very delicious after adding the baileys sauce. The crust was too thick. it will be perfect if the crust is thinner.
Overall speaking, the food in the Executive Set Lunch and the new FINDS set lunch was good. The new FINDS will be cheaper than the existing Aspasia. We will come again.
Some free vouchers (e.g. buy 5 lunch get 1 free, free wine for set dinner) of FINDS were given. See whether we will come to enjoy the discount?

had birthday dinner with friends last Sunday night. we booked a table at 6:45 and the waiter requested us to return the table at 8:00. however, it was not full for the whole night. we sat and talked for more time.

the location of the restaurant was very remote. it was very far away from the main entrance of 海運大廈. noone would know that there was such a restaurant if they didn't check Openrice first.

All food we ordered that night tasted quite good: 柚子沙律, 椰青海鮮焗飯,泰式拼盤(細), 燒豬頸肉, 焗南瓜海鮮咖哩, 蒜蓉包, 炒通菜, All are typical thai (or HK style thai food) taste. Nothing special.

Happy birthday to friends!

Fried water spinach

Had dessert after dinner at about 8:30 p.m.. No people inside!

白玉子寒天芝麻牛乳軟雪糕 $29
白玉子is egg white pudding. 寒天 is something like 大菜糕. It is tastless. There are several choices of sauce and we had the sesame. The sesame sauce is just like sesame sweet soup. very rich. the soft icecream at the top and the egg white pudding at the bottom is very smooth and milky. very delicious.

玉子with green tea and red bean $20
There are choices of cold or hot. We had the hot one. It was actually warm only. The red bean on the top is cool. The green tea sauce and red bean cannot actually mixed with the pudding. The strong green tea flavour did not cover the taste of milk pudding. The pudding is very smooth and rich in milk flavour. Overall, it tasted good.

There was 10% charge for dine-in. It is a good choice for dessert in Shatin.
