Late lunch - got there at 1.45 PM - only one small table available so I had to squeeze in right next to the bar.Very nice decor and furniture. - but I was not feeling particularly comfortable though - too cramped, noisy, and the smell coming form the kitchen felt a bit fried and oily.

Very nice decor and furniture. - but I was not feeling particularly comfortable though - too cramped, noisy, and the smell coming form the kitchen felt a bit fried and oily. I had to ask for the menu.
Fairly small selection of dishes - some had their price crossed out so I had to assume that they were not available. After some hesitation I ordered a Cappucino (32HK$) and their ...
"Balinese Chopped Salad" (Grilled Chicken, purple cabbage, runner beans, cherry tomatoes, lemongrass-lime Sambal dressing , avocados) at 115HK$.
At this price my expectations were set fairly high .... Wait time was about 10 / 15 minutes, but what came to the table was a serious let down.
Cubes of chicken on one side - a quarter of an avocado on the other, and a mixture of red cabbage in the middle. I could not see any cherry tomatoes.
Taste: the cabbage had been soaked in the dressing for too long and did not feel crispy fresh anymore, even a bit sour old. The sauce was spicy and unremarkable. The chicken cubes were quite juicy and tasty but that's the only positive.
This dish is way off the mark and I would not recommend it.
The coffee was as good as any Nespresso machine can make it because that's what they use.
The bill came to 147HK$ and I did not feel the urge to leave a tip - overall the staff did not seem to be bothered.
Hope this place one day lives up to expectations. A very long way to go.
