finally got the chance to try this place as many friends talked about it.Wait time - 0 mins as we were the only diners the whole night.BYOB: 150 cockage (a bit disappointed).The place - more home then restaurant feel, it's nice but think can be a little bit more cozy... also the constant traffic noise was a tad annoy. Kitchen was next door and can be seen through a open window (it's lower then the restaurant so if you can look down into the kitchen and watch the action. Very funny layout but i k
finally got the chance to try this place as many friends talked about it.
Wait time - 0 mins as we were the only diners the whole night.
BYOB: 150 cockage (a bit disappointed).
The place - more home then restaurant feel, it's nice but think can be a little bit more cozy... also the constant traffic noise was a tad annoy. Kitchen was next door and can be seen through a open window (it's lower then the restaurant so if you can look down into the kitchen and watch the action. Very funny layout but i kind of like it - it is different.
Service - non-existent in a good way (maybe also because we were the only ones). because it is a small operation (christina cooking, a kitchen hand and another lady doubling as kitchen hand/waiter), you have to walk over to the open window to get there attention and see the menu which is written on the kitchen wall. so for the whole night, we were not disturbed except when we were ordering. That said, everyone was friendly.
menu - small menu of 10-12 dishes. don't expect the usuall tapas from soho/elgin street - since chef's husband is spanish, i think the menu is bias toward home cooking/certain region??
wine - small collection, decent prices, half bottles served. we had a 1/2 btl chilean cab sav... actually not too bad
Food - we had five dishes - coffee - one desert (and christina gave us brownies on the house)
Avacado salad - very good, simple and well dress. lettuce was crunchy and avacado was fresh with good texture, maybe a bit more avacado needed.
Mussels - the best mussels i have tasted in hk, period. TENDER, and went very well with the tomato chutney souce....
squid stuffed with chorizo - grilled and tasty , good combo. a tad on the small side though.
champion mushroom - beautifually done, not over cooked, juicy with a very simple butter souce. tasted great - we had to get more bread so we didn't waste the source
duck thing - can not remeber the name, it was duck confit of some kind on thick dough. A bit oily and too salty.
coffee - ok (not going to get into this because i am an espresso freak)
brownies - good taste, not too sweet, a bit on the dry side, but tasty nevertheless.
COST - 700 for two people
