We were just going to have an early Christmas dinner, as we walked passed we just had to try their roasted chicken.
I tried calling to make reservations, but unfortunately they don't take reservations during peak hours. Anyhow, we got there roughly around 7pm and-there was still a lot of open seats left.
The place seemed very cozy, as it's located under an escalator, I quite liked the design of the place.
Though the 2 of us, we ordered 3 meals.
Lobster Bisque: First appetiser came was the lobster bisque, quite flavourful, had a rich taste with small bits of lobster meat. But quite a regular 3 course meal soup. Since we have 3 meals, I had 2 soups, so I did enjoy it.
Salmon Roe Crabmeat Pasta

Salmon Roe with Crabmeat Pasta: This was not as exciting as I thought. The crabmeat was quite nice, but it did seem a little dry and and it did seem like it was out of a can. Salmon Roe was definitely canned and just placed on top of the pasta at the very end.
However, the pasta was quite interesting.
It taste a little like 油麵, with a coating of cheese. I thought the texture of the noodles was quite good, a little bit chewy, otherwise this dish wasn't very exciting.
Whole Lobster with Cheese Pasta

Original whole Lobster with Cheese Pasta: This tasted quite decent, though the pasta seemed like regular spaghetti, it had a strong melted cheese taste to the pasta, seasoned with just a pinch that was very appetising.
However, I was expecting the lobster to be mind-blowing, it was a shame that the lobster tail was grilled, and not seasoned very well.
It was tough to detach the meat from the shell, but the biggest disaster was the meat was dry. It didn't hold any flavours within the lobster, and was totally chewy.
This dish for $200 was more of a let down.
Urban Roasted Chicken

Urban Roasted Chicken: Chicken was marinated with herbs and chimes, then slow roasted, creating a nice tender texture of the meat was really soft and tender. Was not chewy at all.
The skin was a little tough based on the roasting time, but it was really flavour-able.
Fries seem to be freshly fried out, so the skin was really crispy so I enjoyed the fries a lot.
Cookie Monster Cake: The cake was a regular chocolate cookie cake, not very sweet, just right. It was topped with some chocolate glitter, marshmallow and an Oreo cookie. It was okay, not bad.
Overall we had 3 courses all together spending around $670 HKD, for 3 courses I guess the price seem reasonable, since eating out is getting quite expensive.
I would probably come back for their snacks and other desserts, but their meals I might not consider.
Overall: 8/10
