I'm a fan of 8 1/2, and it's always the first choice for me to have Italian food in HK. However, 6 weeks ago I dined at 8 1/2 Macau, though it has only one Michelin star but the food quality for me is better than the one in HK. I wrote a review for the Macau one few weeks ago. If you are interested you could check that one out.Here is the review for the HK 8 1/2. We didn't order set menu, but we still chose four courses for each person.

Here is the review for the HK 8 1/2. We didn't order set menu, but we still chose four courses for each person.
The complimentary dish came before appetizer. It's a melon cold soup with ham. Tasted so good and fresh.
However the Macau one has two complimentary dishes before appetizer.

Marinated tuna tartare is my favorite appetizer in 8 1/2, I always ordered this one as my starter. It came with citrus and tofu emulsion and royal Oscietra caviar. It tasted soooo good.
However, the Macau one, the quantity was much better. There were a generous portion of caviar compared to the one I had in HK.
Pictures could tell everything.

Then I had this seasonal marinated Hokkaido scallop with sea urchin. It came with apple and black truffle dressing. They gave us many truffle so you can barely see the sea urchin, which is good! Love this dish.

Here came to my fav dish in 8 1/2. Cavatelli with shellfish ragout and sea urchin. The shellfish ragout included generous portion of seafood, and was very tasty.

Short rib and beef tenderloin. So good!
I didn't order dessert this time, and the complimentary dessert was your choice of chocolate. However, the complimentary dessert in Macau 8 1/2 was a candy box included few chocolate, candy and cookies.
In summary, 8 1/2 is still my fav place for Italian food in HK, but I think the Macau 8 1/2 is better and should have at least two Michelin Stars not just one.
