Bargain lunch time special Just OK Mar 30, 2011  
Share with MessengerShare on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : French | Dessert

I came here for lunch with my brother and arrived just after 1130am, so we can choose our table. The waitress was right about the lunch time workers due to be flooded in, as the place was heaving just after 12 noon!

They have 2 lunch time special menus, the first one is $88 and the other is $120, which allows you to choose 1 savoury, 1 sweet, tea/coffee and the option to add $10 for a soda or $20 for a cup of cider.
Curry flavoured?

I ordered the La Marco Polo which had chicken pieces, peppers and Emmental cheese with a side salad as well. My brother had ordered the Ham and Cheese version, which although simplistic but tastier than mine! The chef has added curry powder to the chicken, which made it very strange.

I love crepes and had the best crepes in Hampstead in London where I didn't mind queuing for over 40 minutes to get one, but the crepes here are very different to the ones I've eaten in London and Paris. It is very thin, almost crunch and very oily!!

As for the sweet crepe, you can choose either butter & sugar or chocolate & caramel. I don't have a sweet tooth, so my brother ate both! The butter & sugar tasted better, unless if you are a chocoholic! The lunch set is definitely very much value for money, but you will need to forget about the calories and fat content!

I will probably pop back in if I am in the area to try something else from the menu. There is a theory how set lunches are not the best signature dishes anyway, so I'll give this place another go.
 
p.s. Arrive early for lunch if you can, as the kitchen was under pressure with the sudden flood of customers.

Great place for Japanese BBQ Smile Mar 30, 2011

This was a great find by my bf, as it's located on the 3rd floor inside Ying Kong Mansion, you will easily miss their big massive banner amongst the madness of Causeway Bay (near the pedestrian crossing to Sogo department store).

I haven't got used to the fact that some restaurants are located inside a building instead of the shop floor level, so before the lift's door opened, I had expected it to be sub standard! But I was glad to be proven wrong smile

We sat by the bar with our own BBQ oven and went a bit crazy on the order. We ordered wagyu beef as well as another type of beef (can't remember now!), veggie selection, giant king prawns and stone pot rice. Everything was very tasty, as we can cook it to our own taste.

It's great fun to cook the food yourself, but I think the fat from the wagyu beef had caused a lot of smoke for my next door neighbour. So if you don't like the smell of BBQ in restaurants be aware!

p.s. Spend per head included about 5 bottles of Asahi.

Disappointing Cries Mar 30, 2011

The reviews had been great here, so thought we'd give this a go. The restaurant was very busy as it was still in the period of Chinese New Year, so there were lots of Chinese tourists dining inside in large groups and they didn't have enough staff on that evening.

We thought we'll order three dishes first, as the table is very small and we didn't want to be rushed to eat quickly in order to make room for more plates to be placed on the table. The only "ok" dish was the chicken salad, if you like bean sprouts you'll like this as they used this to fill out the dish (well, I don't!).

The squid skewers were very chewy, so another dish suggesting they used very low grade ingredients.

Lastly the beef with green beans, it's so oily we had to abandon the dish altogether.

We didn't feel the need to order any more dishes as it wasn't very enjoyable, so we left and went to a pub instead!

We fancied to venture out of the HK Island for a Friday night, so after searching on Open Rice I have settled on Wu Kong as it has good reviews. I followed the tips to call ahead to book a table and it was fine, the lady was pleasant on the phone. Knowing HK on a Friday night, we arrived 10 minutes early to make sure they know we are ready for our booking at 8pm on the dot.

It was very busy at the restaurant, so I was pleased to have booked ahead. We are trying to order just enough for the two of us, as we tend to order too much food and it either goes to our bellies or the bin!

The Chilli with Chicken looked nice in the menu, but we were disappointed when it arrived first as the chicken pieces were full of bones or a big slap of skin. If you have tried KFC Popcorn chicken, the chef should improve this dish by providing bite-size full pieces of chicken without any bones or skin. The ratio of chiil and chicken is also a bit of a joke.

We had to wait a while until the rice and the beef with green chilli arrived, so we got stuck in. Both were very tasty, but as you can see in the photo the beef dish was a bit oily.

Unfortunately the aubergine with minced meat didn't come until another 30 minutes, so the most of our rice was all cold when it eventually arrived. (Again, it was a bit oily for the aubergine dish.)

As we had to wait for a while inbetween dishes and that the chilli chicken only had a few mouthfuls, we had ordered an extra dish which was the Shanghai fried noodles. Fortunately we didn't have to wait another 30 minutes for this, but it was a bit oily again and we were too full to finish it, so we got a doggie bag!

The overall experience was a bit of a yo-yo effect. Also I am not so sure if this is somewhere to eat if you are very health conscious.

p.s. The price per head included about 6 bottles of Tsing Tao.
