Small portions Cries Jun 26, 2012

It should've been a clue when there was only 2 other people dining here for lunch but I was craving an egg sandwich. I ordered the egg and ham sandwich and the egg custard while my friend ordered the beef and noodle in soup an milk custard. Ham egg sandwich: very little egg that wasn't enough I cover the bread, not salty, not fluffy. Bread was thin with too much butter so it was greasy and soggy. Egg custard: had a strange rubbery taste. The consistency was too firm and not creamy enough. Beef noodle soup: soup had little flavor and was extremely watered down. The beef not flavorful either. Milk custard: good taste and good thickness. Best part of the meal. Also note, there is no lunch or tea set. Set menu is for breakfast only. I'd consider this overpriced for the small portions compared I what you can get elsewhere.

I came here for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. It's a complete hole in the wall that I have passed many times without ever noticing.
I've had a few Vietnamese sandwiches in HK and haven't been all that impressed. I got the Vietnamese Express Deluxe Sandwich. The baguette was crispy and chewy, the meats flavorful and plentiful, the vegetables pickled without being too sour or too sweet. I opted for a few chili peppers and they were HOT so be warned. For $35, you really can't go wrong I also added coffee for $10 which is... coffee and cream. Nothing spectacular, but as expected which can be just as good

Chinese Style French Just OK Jun 25, 2012

Some of the dishes were very Chinese style French food while others were less so. We had a set 6 course meal, my favorite was probably the mushroom soup which was rich and creamy with ample mushroom flavor. All the dishes were pretty small and most were under-whelming. The plates looked nice but the flavor wasn't always that great. The salad was boring, with 1 very small piece of salmon lox on the side and large chunks of under-ripe tomatoes. The clam (that the server said was the restaurant's best dish) was chewy and full of sand and tasted like nothing more than a steamed clam in it's own juices. Overall, the food was palatable but not worth the regular price. We thankfully came using a group buy coupon.
The decor was strange. The tables and seats remind me of a cafeteria. Some of the decor looks nice, other parts look tacky. Kind of a hodgepodge of decorations that don't fit any particular theme.

Great views, great shisha and good food. They have shisha flavors I've never seen before. We went with the "Blue...." which is blueberry and mint which was not too sweet with a nice refreshing after taste. The service is attentive and they change the coals before you have to chase somebody down because the ones you have are dead which is great. We had the burger which was a large portion with juicy meat that was not cooked to death. I wanted to try the sandwich but it, like several other items on the menu, was not available that night. Kind of strange that they didn't even have the ingredients for 1 of the main course offerings when there are only 2 to choose from.shocked We ordered from the "long drinks" list because they were similarly priced to the well drinks and more bang for your buck. The drinks were strong without being over-powering and for $80 not a bad deal.

Came here for lunch and had the salmon and mashed potatoes. While the salmon had good flavor and was well seasoned it was a bit well done so the texture was dry. The portion was also VERY small. The compensate for the meager portion of fish I was given a massive portion of mashed potatoes. I was disappointed when I took a bite to discover these were sweet potatoes and not regular potatoes since the menu simply stated "mashed potatoes" not mashed "sweet" potatoes mad The mashed potatoes were literally just that, boiled sweet potatoes that had been mashed. No cream or liquid to give it a smoother consistency, no salt to accent the sweetness of the potato, just sweet potatoes. For ~$150, I would say it was definitely not worth the money.
