Both pieces of fried dough were really crispy. The food is affordable and it’s great value for money.One of the waitresses was pretty rude for no reason, however. She kept yelling at us when we only politely reminded her that she forgot our orders.…Read More

Their vegetarian versions of foie gras and Beef Wellington were made really well. The ratatouille was so healthy and delicious at the same time. Finally, the vegan serradurra didn’t taste very different from regular serradura, so they did a great job with substitution.…Read More

I got a few flavours including the matcha tart. The tarts were okay.The service, though, is horrid. The cashier pretended not to notice me. She actually made eye contact with me then looked away. She looked so angry that a customer dare walk in during business hours that I just stood there for a while, not daring to call her over a second time. Then when she finally decided to address my presence, she messed up my small order in several ways. It took several rounds of explaination for her to fix my order.Overall, I don’t recommend coming here.…Read More

There’s a new delicious Japanese restaurant in Tseung Kwan O. It feels pretty spacious with a high degree of privacy at each table.My favourite of the night was the pot with fish and rice. The pot is surprisingly larger than it looks as its quite deep inside, and there was a ton of rice in it. I had to take away the leftovers. The pearl rice was cooked just right and soaked in all the flavour of the fish and sauces.The crispy shrimp tempura was another item I particularly enjoyed, as were the oysters! The oysters were covered with roe which made them even more amazing 😍…Read More

There was a TON of pork floss and crispy bits inside, and it wasn’t overly oily. The medium size was big and filling already, and there’s actually no small size. It’s M/L/XL.On another day I came back and ordered a large Peking duck pancake which was massive! It was so flavourful and juicy!You’ll have to eat it standing next to the shop though, since there aren’t any seats. It’s traditionally a street food after all.…Read More

The risotto was really watery, as in I could find a pond of liquid at the bottom of the risotto’s centre. Even the soup didn’t taste so great. Vegetable soup from your local cha chan tang tastes better. I wouldn’t call the food “western” but even for HK-style “western” food, it’s not worth your money at all.…Read More

食食吓職員問我哋介唔介意搭枱，我哋擔心肺炎所以話介意。點知個職員黑面，轉頭就大大聲問門口個客介唔介意搭枱，就將佢安排坐黎我哋張枱，仲冇幫我哋加圍板。如果一開始冇扮問我地嘅意願都冇咁嬲。In the middle of eating, we were asked if we would mind sharing a table with strangers. We politely declined because of the pandemic going on. She immediately got angry and loudly asked a customer outside whether he minded sharing a table. He minded too. But another customer behind him didn't mind and got seated right next to us. No plastic partition was moved over. I wouldn't have been so mad sharing a table if she hadn't faked being concerned about our wishes in the first place and then acted so passive aggressively.…Read More

There aren’t many good restaurants in Kai Tak yet because it’s a very new area, so La Mensa is a godsend to residents of the district. It isn’t just good by the district’s lack-of-food standards, it really exceeded my expectations with its food and friendly staff!When the ribs arrived, we tried to tell the staff they got our order wrong because we ordered a half portion, but it turns out that their servings are just generous! This was a lot of two people, so I think with a group of three to four people a half-portion might do, depending on what else you’re ordering. There was plenty of meat which was tender and tasty too.I haven’t had nachos in a while, and I was very happy to be served a big plate of them with guacamole and chicken.The beef lasagna also satisfied another craving of mine for lasagna and it was pretty cheesy.…Read More

I found this amazing hidden gem all the way in Tuen Mun inside a nunnery! The food is very reasonably priced. They use fresh local vegetables and the pasta was al dente. The amaranth pasta was my favourite, followed by the amaranth mushroom pie whiched arrived still sizzling hot with bubbles. This is definitely worth a visit if you live on this side of Hong Kong, or as part of your day trip if you don’t live nearby.…Read More

The evening started with a bowl of abalone, celery, hijiki seaweed, menegi, and small hanaho flowers. This was paired with an equally floral drink that also matched perfectly in flavour.Every time I come, the sashimi is consistently marvellous, especially the uni and tuna. And I always love the soup here. They aren’t too thick and heavy like many western soups, and also feel quite healthy while tasting unlike other soup you normally get.We had extra dessert at the end because of a special occasion and they had plates with engravings for the occasion.I highly recommend going to Ando for your next special occasion, or just when you want to treat yourself to a fine meal!…Read More

Non-fast food burgers usually come a lot more expensive, but venture into Cheung Sha Wan for cheaper food of high quality.Most of the time, eating burgers is a clumsy affair, with all the sauce dripping down my hands. Besides that inconvenience, with the Covid situation now, I feel better not eating directly with my hands. So it’s a good thing that this cheesy goodness came with an appropriately-sized burger wrapper that for once let me successfully finish my burgers with clean hands. …Read More

The sandwich was a wonderful start to my morning. I ordered a club sandwich. The bread was grilled crispily and the runny egg was perfect. It was pretty cheap too. A lot of coffee shops have expensive menus, but this one is completely unpretentious. I like the environment too, which was full of windows to let in the sun and it felt like it really fit in the neighbourhood.…Read More

The first appetizer was basmati puffed rice and caviar in lime and vanilla. I really like puffed rice so it wasa delightful start to the night. The second appetizer was prawn and Granny Smith apple decorated with edible flowers. I found the sour tasterefreshing.The sour dough bread is famous here and rightfully so. We dipped it in some of the remaining lobster sauce whichwas too good to waste.  The olive oil that comes with the sour dough is not to be overlooked, though! It’s an olive oil that’s exclusiveto 3 restaurants in the world. Under one of the seafood dishes was celeriac noodles which I hadn’t tried before. I liked its texture and how it’sless carb-y than other noodles.The pigeon, being terrific on its own, was accompanied by a sauce they made fresh in front of us, using chilifrom Peru, Mexico, and Venezuela.All in all, it was a night of many great dishes!…Read More

I had the Japanese curry prawn rice and it was amazing! The prawn tempura was SO crispy and thick. The curry was full of healthy ingredients like carrot too.I also liked the refillable miso soup at the self-service counter, and you can add your own seaweed - as much as you want!Service is excellent too.…Read More

The food is a tiny, tiny bit above average but a good deal for this district. The service isn’t so good though. The woman wasn’t outright rude but consistently made you feel like you weren’t welcome. I already got that feeling when booking on the phone, and when we arrived we got the same attitude. She looked even more unhappy that we stayed a little whole to chat after finishing our meal despite there being many empty tables.…Read More
