Magnolia split into 2 floors with the open kitchen at the bottom floor where the reception and entrance is. 2nd floor has plenty different sizes of dining room, with brick red wall, a high ceiling and chandeliers casting a somewhat murky light. There was no wine list but free corkage, and the dinner was a set menu for all diners at HK$500 each.

Black bean soup (3/10)
The soup was thick, perfectly separated from its greasiness. The black beans were fully cooked and blended well with all the species and the chillies gave some heat to the dish.
Soft cell crab (4/10)Crab was deep-fried nicely, crispy yet juicy. The texture of soft cell crab maintained, though if wasn’t serve hot enough.
Ribs (5/10)The ribs was very good, entirely avoiding the chewiness, it was very moist and tender. The meat melted inside your mouth with the spices blended within.
Pumpkin mash, stir-fried rice (4/10)The pumpkin was made into pure with plenty of think cream, seasoned fairly with a hint of sweetness. The fried rice was sticky and full with authentic spices.
Service was fine, but if the waiters have explained what we were eating would be preferable, since menu was not offered. Paying HK$500 for home made cooking seem quite a lot to me. For sure, this is American cuisine, because the portion were extremely large. Give me a thumbs up if you like it!
