Celebrating my girl friend’s birthday is always as challenging as planning for a long-haul, haha, well, thanks to special promotion recently, I have decided to book a lunch and give her surprise!

Upon arriving 56/F, we have been impressed by the corridor and the entrance. There is a huge Chinese oil painting out but on the other hand can see classic palace style of decoration on the floor.

Booked a harbour view table, needless to say, the view is stunningly amazing especially under the good weather.

We ordered 4 courses menu, 2 appetisers, 1 main course and 1 dessert. Before that we have been served with a mini puff. It’s still warm and inside is creamy cheese!


Bread basket has 2 choices, mini baguette and “napoleon” roll? I forgot the name they told us lol.

Starting with cold appetiser, I have ordered the scallop with abalone sauce. Scallop is nicely sliced, the taste of abalone sauce is unexpectedly strong, very nice as the starter.
My gf has ordered the salad, apparently looks pale with a coddled egg with salad but indeed it’s an impressive dish. In every bite you can really taste the mix of smoked bacon and olive oil fully absorbed in the veggie, with the golden egg yolk is just brought the salad to another level.

Next is hot appetiser. I ordered Ravoli and she ordered soup. For Ravoli, this is covered with carbonara sauce with cheese and olive oil on top. It was surprising us as it has successfully combined the element of Chinese soup dumplings into traditional Italian dish!

Here goes to the main courses. I have ordered the suckling pig. Perfectly cooked, the crispy skin with juicy pork meat inside can light up the day! Yet I think the sauce has a burning taste, and the pesto sauce is too plain.

My girl friend has ordered the lobster. At the time of serving, we are surprised that whole lobster meat has been filled in the crispy spring roll. Apparently normal, the taste is amazingly gorgeous with the grapefruit mayo sauce.

For dessert, we ordered both one cold and one hot. Starting from the cold one is the mandarin sorbet with mochi, combination of light sweet sour to clean our tongue for next one. The 2nd dessert is chocolate fondue with ice cream. Taste is delicious but unfortunately the core is not in lava state, perhaps is slightly overcooked.

Of course, the highlight of the meal is birthday celebration. A chocolate mousse cake with happy birthday tag has surprised her a lot! Also need to praise the photo taking quality of the staff there, the shooting skills is the way much better than I do!


Overall, this dining experience is impressive and we both are very satisfied and definitely will visit again!
