Alfie's:
I heard this place was one of the best fish & chips in Hong Kong so I brought my colleague here for lunch.
It took us a while to locate the entrance. The main entrance was through the Dunhill shop at Prince's building.
The whole place was dimly lit and very stylish, it reminded me somewhat of Aqua Roma.
Interestingly, I noticed a lot of French speakers having lunch here. Menu:
The menu had various types of pan fried fishes, bangers and mash , mussels and a number of roasts and grilled meat.
My colleague and I ordered fish and chips. You could choose "Small" (1 piece of fish) for HK$170 and "Big" for HK$280 (2 pieces.) Both of us choose big.
You could add some sides, such as bubble and squeak, Yorkshire pudding and some salad - each at about $55 per item.
We also ordered a bottle of still water since there appears to be no tap water.
Fish & Chips:
After not too long a wait, the fish & chips came:
When I first had a taste, the batter was rather fluffy. I felt that the batter had more oil than batter or beer. It wasn't a serious problem for the first few bites. The haddock had a lot of fish oil and was rather soft.Some herbs and (rather oddly) some sugar and salt were sprinkled above the batter.
As the batter cooled down, the whole dish felt really oily. My friend couldn't finish his.
The chips were pretty good though. Those were crunchy on the outside and soft inside.
To conclude:
Perhaps the fish & chips here was just slightly better than Harrington's. The "Fish Bar" was better than this. Of course, nothing beats "The Chippy" so far. Those served at "Jimmy's Kitchen" are made of garoupa, also good.
HK$711 for two including service. Pricey.
Wouldn't mind having a drink at the bar though, which was nicely partitioned off.
At the end of the day, as Alfie would say,
"What's it all about?
You know what I mean?"
