年紀愈大, 愈喜歡飲茶文化, 眼看現在的茶樓愈來愈多, 真心覺得需要支持, 年輕一代喜歡新潮即食的飲食習慣, 如此繼續下去, 飲茶文化真的會消失。早已聽聞九號館是一間高質素的中式餐館, 一直很想試。結果真的沒有令我失望, 裝修方面, 看到復刻昔日的點心牌裝飾, 這就是我小時候入茶樓吃點心的樣子, 好親切。食物質素方面, 點心好好吃, 那種味道是傳統點心應有的味道, 即蒸即吃, 大滿足。服務員的態度親切有禮, 令我與友人吃的這頓午餐很愉快。很開心香港還有一間用心製作食物 的中餐館, 我會再去支持, 也多謝九號館把兒時吃的點心味道完美還原, 值得支持。

同朋友即興約左中環食飯，randomly 見到餐廳裝修得幾靚，而且唔使等位，就入去一試。餐廳分兩層，樓上一層係bar，侍應話下午好多人黎happy hour。樓下餐廳得大概6-7張檯～未必坐到咁多人。朋友好想食扁皮鴨，就叫左半隻；再加碟干炒牛河。扁皮鴨上台時覺得吾夠熱，有小小失望。干炒牛河好油，未炒到干身。餐廳還有提供點心，可惜我地當晚吾算太肚餓，未有order。整體來說，性價比不高。

12:15pm Lunch with Banker. Picked this restaurant given its convenient location and the branch at the Fringe was good. Booked through WhatsApp.Upon arrival, was informed by Banker that booking was nowhere to be found.Seated in the bar area upstairs. Banker was a bit annoyed, but a glance at the miniature tables and chairs in the dining room downstairs reassured me that we wouldn’t be missing much. Didn’t like the Set menus.Poor internet connection. Or maybe it was sth wrong with the 1010 network.Decided to go a la carte. Banker commented that it was ridiculous that we had to order in English, in a Chinese restaurant, to a Chinese looking person. I didn’t mind, as long as no one messed up my order.This is what we had.Pan-fried Turnip Cake with XO Sauce, sprinkled with bonito flakes. Turnip tasted good.Prawn Toast.Initially ordered Sautéed Chicken with Dried Onion and Black Bean in Clay Pot plus 2 bowls of rice. It was coming close to 2pm and Banker decided to chase when a server eventually appeared up the stairs. Server went to check and came back with the unfortunate news that clay pot chicken was a disaster and requested that we try something else. Banker asked server whether we would be waiting around till 2:30 if we hadn’t raised the issue. Server seemed apologetic and agreed to comp our dessert. Ordered the Fried Noodles with Spare Ribs Pork Slices. Which was watery and mediocre at best.Dessert came- only 1 serving of Chilled Mango Pomelo Sago. Maybe I didn’t deserve any cos I didn’t kick a fuss. Anyway, tried a spoonful and was glad I wasn’t given any. Had to wash the artificial sweetness away with a mouthful of tea, which server was kind enough to refill.Asked for the bill, to see that we were actually charged for the “complimentary” dessert. I just cracked up laughing. Well, not so funny anymore when server returned with the credit card receipt but no credit card. Server insisted that the card was in the folder, but obviously it wasn’t. Unless we were getting a complimentary magic trick for our troubles. After some anxious moments, server returned with Banker’s credit card. In summary: a farce. Badly executed, badly run, badly managed. More leeway would be given to an independent establishment in its soft opening stage. However, Nove is part of Bombana’s Octavium Group and the grand opening was more than 3 months ago. One really would expect more from Mr.⭐️⭐️⭐️Bombana. Wouldn’t you?

Met here for drinks and dinner on night of 10th Oct 2023. Although the restaurant was empty I was disappointed to be seated near the kitchen counter which was poorly and ‘tackily’ hidden with Chinese screens: I could also hear the exhaust humming and staff speaking loudly - not at all what I expected. My first thought was that it’s such an amateurish set up which was skimping on under trained staff. Suitable price charged for the food quality and great cocktails. But sadly the atmosphere does not match the food. I suggest staff be trained to speak softly and to understand the difference between good service and sounding like a dai pai dong. Background music could mask the kitchen machinery and staff chatter. Softer lighting at night could also help.Would be a great place for drinks but bar service is slow, shared with another venue and under trained.

My first time in this restaurant, and I was not disappointed. Simple and elegantly presented, the wow factor was in the taste of the food. We started with cocktails and got a plate of fried whitebait 炸白飯魚which was out of this world- meaty, crispy and tender at the same time. This was followed by a very flavorsome Har Kau 九號舘蝦餃which we thought we’d try because it bore the restaurant’s name ( a true signature]. The mini winter melon soup 迷你冬瓜盅(must order in advance ) was a delight with lots of ingredients, such as crab meat and seafood delicacies. Steaming hot right to the end, you could easily spoon out all the melon meat. No waste at this table! The boneless fried chicken ( 炸子雞）is a must try. While many places serve this, the taste here was classically excellent. For veggies, we had the Kai Lan in clay pot 啫啫芥蘭煲. Very good, and the serving was generous. ( we had eaten lots before taking the pic!). Overall , it was a lovely dining experience!
