    I would just like to Thank IVY_CWK and Mjqueen7e for treating me to this delicious Omurice dinner.
    This is a mega late review as we dined here ages ago!

    Omurice is an omelette made with fried rice and usually topped with ketchup.

    At Omerice, they specialize in Omurice and offer so many different flavoured omelettes with different sauces to choose from.
     
    For the omelettes there were so many types: squid omelette, tom yum kung, spinach and scallops and sea urchin.

    All the omurices are served with ketchup but here they have curry sauce and cream sauce to choose from as well.
     
    When you order you can ask for the omelette to be semi-cooked which we did because it tastes even better.

    We decided to try the spinach and scallop omerice and the squid ink omerice with stuff chicken wings with cheese and spinach.

    While we were digging into the delicious omerices, the manageress gave us some jellyfish salad.

    The cutlery there is quite cute and matches their logo, the fork resembles the cracked egg.

    Chicken wings stuffed with cheese and spinach:
     
    The chicken wings were lovely and crispy and it was filled with delicious spinach and cheese.
     
    ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
    Spinach and scallop omerice with cream sauce:
     
    The texture of the omelette was really nice because we ordered it semicooked so the omelette tasted really delicious with strong spinach taste.
    The rice in the middle had generous pieces of scallops in it.
    ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
    Squid ink omerice with cream sauce:
     
    Compared to the spinach omerice, the squid ink had a stronger taste which tasted great with the hot fluffy rice in the middle.
     
    ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
    Jellyfish salad:
     
    The salad was really refreshing complemented by their Japanese vinaigrette sauce.
    The jelly fish was nice and springy.

    On the menu it was interesting that they had Pigeon's egg too which I tried recently at a restaurant in Ho Man Tim.

    Thanks to IVY_CWK's arrangement we got a shared room which was really nice.
     
    I can't wait to dine here again and try the other Omerices.

    too much egg for omerice Just OK Dec 19, 2012  
    Share with MessengerShare on TwitterShare on Facebook
    It was a small shop but the decorations were amazing. As we arrived early at six something, there were only a few people. Without prior booking, we were offered a small private room to enjoy our meal, we were surprised and happy!

    Making decisions from the menu, we intentionally ordered three different dishes: Omerice with Beef ($78), Fried Japanese Pork ($88) and Fresh Eel ($90). As my friend recommended, we would like to try semi-cooked omerice.
    Fresh Eel
    Fresh Eel
     
    Omerice with Beef tasted good, there were many pieces of beef inside and it made the rice become juicy, which we believed it even made the omerice tastes better!
    Fried Japanese Pork
    Fried Japanese Pork
     
    Omerice with Fried Japanese Pork, however was a bit disappointed as the pork was not in good quality. Thought the pork was fried in a good manner, it was hard to chew, we all gave up eating it eventually.
    Beef
    Beef
     
    Finally, it comes to Omerice with Fresh Eel. This is the most popular dish among us as the eel with secret sauce taste delicious. Among the three dishes, curry sauce is the best to mix with omerice. Semi-cooked Omerice was a newly invented technique to us, however adding extra $18 seems a bit too much. In fact, we prefer the taste of the original omerice, we would like to back to normal next time.

    too expensive Just OK Jun 08, 2012  
    Share with MessengerShare on TwitterShare on Facebook
    was partly attracted by the tv show
    visited this little store which is in the middle of a quiet lane in a weekday evening
    surprised that it was not full at 730

    tried out the famous omerice with sea urchins
    looked really nice
    appreciated the skilfully fried warm, soft and thin egg yolk outer layer
    loved the mixture of taiwanese/japanese pearl rice and sea urchins cubes
    very well seasoned and moist enough
    absent of any unpopular smell which happened usually to fresh seafood
    but even considering all these
    it simply doesn't worth $138
    you know that was after all some eggs and rice and then a little little little bit of sea urchins

    and i thought of the $3X lunch set in food court downstair to my place lol

    There was this sudden urge that I wanted to eat Japanese omlette rice.
    I remembered going to the Wood House in Tsim Sha Tsui for the best Japanese omlette rice I ever had in Hong Kong. But how about the Hong Kong Island? Not until I have discovered the Omerice
     
    To be honest, I won't say that Omerice is the best. The best remains as the Japanese cafe at Wood House (I forgotten the name tongue) But what made me think that Omerice deserves some praises and revisits were its "homey" setting, fresh omlette rice and caring service.
     
     
    The setting was very interesting and comfortable, it made you feel as though you were at a family-running store. I was so caught up with all the decorations, especially the Beatles poster! Very Japanesey indeed. lol
    Cover was provided for your coat on the chair

    As for the service, I was very impressed. One of the staff spotted me with a thick coat, trying to hang it on the chair, and she immediately came over to take care of the coat by putting a cover over it. I was surprised that a tiny shop like Omerice had thought about this servicing aspect, very nice! smile

    The highlight of the lunch set was only the Japanese omlette rice. And I mean it when I say "only". The small bowl of salad and hot lemon tea were quite awful! sad I stopped after having a few bits and zips - the salad felt unfresh and the lemon tea was too plain like water. sad Now move on to the omlette rice! The presentation was very good. The ketchup decoration was something that the cafe at Wood House did not do. But sadly the outer layer of the egg was too thin, I could not feel the richness of the egg and it did not cover the rice perfectly. Perhaps one should focus on the fried rice with fresh eel instead. The rice was delicious, something magical must have happened by the so-called "secret sauce". The fresh eel was not too fresh though. Overall it was pretty good, I appreciate the ingredients to the omelette rice!

    Charging at HKD$90 was probably too expensive for a lunch set at Tin Hau, this price could get me a more than decent lunch set in Central IFC. I wonder why that was the case for such a high price setting.. the fresh eel was not that "fresh" to me afterall. sadsad

    服務令人不開心 Just OK Sep 04, 2011  
    Share with MessengerShare on TwitterShare on Facebook
    I sit down and ordered two rice, waited for more than half an hour, and still haven't got it. So I ask them how long I still need to edit because the two table next to us got their plates already, but they ordered after us. They explained that their rice are made one by one so it will take more time. Our plate arrived quickly after asking them, they reconfirm the order is right when they place the plate. When we pay the bill, they double check with us the plate we ordered and said they can't find the order list. I'm pretty sure that they lost the order form and totally forgot our dishes, so I'm pretty angry because they said it's the cooking time instead of apologize, they made me feel I'm rude and rush to check on their process but ots actually them forgetting our order! Okay back to quality, the source are very little, except for curry. The flavor of the rice is very hong kong-ish, nothing like the original Japanese egg rice. I'm not a big fan of it. What impressed me the most is the egg, this is pretty up to standard aside from the fact that it's not wtappi v the rice, but it's a piece if ege on top of the rice. Overall I will score 70 for the rice. I suggest everyone to try the restaurant NIJI in tsim sha tsui, whi h has the best egg rice in hk in my point of view. And ots much better than this one. One last thing I'm very uncomfortable with is, there are too much waiters. The space is tiny with among 20 sth seats, and there are around 5 waiters inside which makes me feel like they are staring at you while eating and this annoys me(and i wonder why they can left out our order in this situation since they are staring at us waiting for so long)
