It is a place full of celebrities as many view on newspapers, but why there are so many famous people around probably Landmark is placed in the center of Central, that's all, the food and service is just so so, come out of vanity, if you wanna try something real good, this is not a place that worths it, and don't think the Cafe is a place for fine dining, the food critics rate it cos the price is close to fine dining.Nothihg specialIt is just ok, quite tender.I think this is the best among all dishes except dessert, the crabmeat is hot and tender.A big issue on these two dishes, linguine . Linguine supposed to be wider than spaghetti, flat like fettuccine and trenette. In wikipedia you will see it's about 6mm to 9mm, the reason why I prefer Linguine to spaghetii is because I like wider pasta, so I asked the waitress to change it to linguine (supposed to be clams spaghetti). But the pasta served was as less wider like spaghetti, and it's soft, a fatal mistake to me that I hate pasta less chewy and overcooked. Reason same as above and the sauce a bit too creamy for my taste.This came to be the last surprise, after the disappointment in main dishes, didn't expect the Cafe would make the dessert more than average. Fresh, juicy mango layered with very crispy, thin crisp, served with three small scoops of vanilla ice-cream, the portion was just right.…Read More

Very thought that Miss B Bakery provides a darling size which serves two - four persons. My birthday cake was served at Aqua ( Please go see my comment of Aqua if you prefer a beautiful night view)No girls could resist butterfly-theme. It is an art collection, mixed with creation and color.Exotic & Intense blend of layered Chiffon with Apricot Compote, Fresh Cream and crowned with Dark & White Chocolate . The bottom layer is cripsy chocolate. Another Signature Cake with Hand-painted Sugar Butterfly. Too bad i didn't try the butterfly, I thought it's a piece of wood and trashed it.…Read More

I spent my Birthday here, knowing it had the best harbour view in HK, didn't expect much of the quality of food and service, but everything turned out good and I was very contendedSeveral varieties of bread, it was okay, a bit cold and hard, would be better to serve it warmerNice Lobster Pizza, thin crisp and crispy. It looked large but as soon as you finished them you'll find the thin layer wasn't enough to fill the stomach. Would be better if it's served hotterVery Nice Foie gras, soft and tender and the sauce for the pasta was great! A bit too greasy and I usually detest but this time I found it so tasteful and unstoppable , the texture of linguine was prepared more than fine, chewy, not too soft, fit my taste and the dressing was too delicious. A must try dish!There were Cod fish ( The best of all, tender with great sauce ), lamb, beef, chicken, etc, very filling for two of us, the taste was good, the chicken was done a bit overcook and firm. Already full after only three dishes.You will enjoy the symphony of Lights at 8pm, Aquq provides the best spot of harbour view in HKI didn't order the birthday dessert from Aqua, I picked the cake from C'est La B from Admiralty (Please go see my comment of this cake shop if you are a sweet tooth ). Aqua charges cake fee $85 per person. Actually we were already too full and couldn't take a bite, so we just took the picture of the cake, no service charge was taken.…Read More

A credit to the decoration, decor and atmosphere. The white flowery decor is the main attraction for me to step my foot in this restaurant.Plus the sea view, other than these I go strongly disagree with the cooking skillsMy friend picked the salad without seeing it through, there's goat cheese mixed with the butter lettuce, not everyone likes the smell of goat cheese and I am one of them. Never in my life I didn't finish salad but not this time. Gave up after the first few bites.Tomato sauce, Mozzarella cheese and basil. Defintely Isola wasn't a nice Italian restaurant because she couldn't make the pizza well. The sauce didn't stand out and the crisp wasn't crispy. SO much more disappointed after ordering the wrong goat cheese salad, my memorable tribute paid to Pizza Express, a restaurant with a much better price and served with much better, hot, crispy, pizza with unforgettable many diff types of sauce.The pasta was hard , agreed by my friend and asked the waitor to send it to the kitchen to redo.The only standardize dish, we were ok with it, but it's nothing outstanding or exciting about either.…Read More

Heard the Green Apple was a one of the new signature desgins, so I ordered two and turened out to be a big let down. First of all, the ladies offered the poor-quality, fragile plastic forks which snapped easily while cracking the Green Apple cake. Inside, the Cheese was too sour and the fluid texture didn't please us. Three of us stopped after the first few bites and the 2nd Green Apple was left unattended . THe Pink raspberry tasted fine, but it didn't excite me much either.Napoleon , one of the signature desserts too, wasn't as nice as I imagined. The crisp was too thick and not crispy enough. I recommend the Napoleon lovers should go for the one in HK Shangri-La instead, it was the best Napoleon I ever treid.Black Forest. The layers and colors looked so attractive and again it's a let down. Two of the girls thought it was too sour. We wanted something sweet and didn't expect it was a sour journey to begin with.Chocolate Truffle Cake. It was the only tasty cake at Fine Foods. Rich chocolate , creamy texture, three of us finished it up in a minute.Nice designElegant, Classy DecorElegant, Classy DecorThe staff here was rather impudent and rude. Lack of smile served with impatient answer and description, especially the older women was unbearable.…Read More

When it comes to dining or lunch, in terms of taste, service, decor and price, the one in Admiralty Queensway outbeats IFC's . But there's only one thing I like about it and will only take--- the banana pieVery nice chocolate flakesRich, fluffy banana-flavour cream, the best match with choclate cream…Read More

Zoe Cafe, classy decor with a beautiful chandelier. Other than that, it' doesn't provide custoner-friendly service.1. no credit-card payment I bought a cake at $480, no APM, No credit card, I'm not sure if people bring lots cash nowadays. There's no APM centre nearby2. No website A new opening store provides a website these days, Zoe which has been here for more than 4 years, im not sure if it's hard to bring the convenience to the customers . Birthday day Cake-SumiyakiCan you understand the first word? It takes us around 10 seconds to know i'ts Pisces Birthday. I am really mad at paying a high price in return with the unattractive wiritngs.There are three birthday stars: Anita, Ben, Diana. This comes to be the most important letters yet I could barely understand the writings. Does BEN become BAN to you?? And ANITA, im really sorry that they cant write your name properly, the cursive writing doesn't seem artistic to us at all, it totally ruins our names and mood. It tastes taste, but it can't make up to the ruined letters. No credit for the cake this time…Read More

Except liquorice, I have tried all 15 flavours. Very nice, crispy macarons with less creamy, rich stuffings . This is a credit to most Asians who like dessert to be light and less sweet,. It suits my personal taste well. As a sweet tooth like me I have also tried Paul Lafayette, Jean-Paul Hévin, La maison du chocolat. Paul Lafayette, stuffings too creamy and crisp is heavyJean-Paul Hévin, nice crisp but stuffings heavy for my tasteLa maison du chocolat. the price is better than the chocolate and macaron itself. Very nice pakage but that's all what it worths for .A delighted, fresh light color which already wins the girls' hearts. The taste and the crispy texture take me to the heaven…Read More

Tiffin is famous for her extraordinary high tea. Back to last summer , the day I asked my ex-colleagues out for the high tea gathering, the hotel had raised charges, well, the button was still on despite the new charges, I was very ready for enjoying a sweet meal!The luxourious tea set has satisfied and filled our stomach full.Very creamy, smooth texture with rich chocolate mousse, wrapped with a very nice outlook.Fine china. I ordered camomile tea and the rest followed. Camomile tea commonly used to help with sleep and is often served with honey or lemon. If you ask for it the waitor will answer to your request. If you feel too filling then you should go for Peppermint tea. It is effective in relieving indigestion, in a word to make your stomach feel better when all the sweet creamy food fill it up.This looks great yet it's not on the menu. If you pay full price for the tea set then you will have the "all you can eat" offer. You gotta get up and order what you want. Sorbet, ice-cream, waffle, candies, pancakes, all the varieties defintely spice you up, if you still have room for it For me, desire never ends, I was awfully full by the time I finished the tea set, and when i thought i coulnd't get more, my instinct didn't push the stop button.…Read More

I usually take pics of dessert rather than main dishes, reason to my love for sweet stuff.I have been there 3 times, In my memory lobster Bisuqe was very nice, yet the second time I came I didn't have the "wow" feelings. The food here aren't particularly excellent, the reason to come is more of the decor, romantic atmosphere , nice harbour view with beautiful chandaliers. Good services too.If you come between 7-10 , there will be a harp playing for you. Harp for French cuisine, a good match.This is an excellent dessert. A smooth dark chocolate top with raspberry, strawberry sorbet and pink cream. I fall in love with it. …Read More

Rarely stylish restaurants don't set minimum charges on Valentine's Day, Zuma is one of them.Receptionist AttitudeI have read all the comments that the staff being impolite, rude, bla bla bla. The fact is the staff is being helpful and nice, the receptionists are the rude one. One of the Filipino-accent _______ arranged the lounge bar while my friend requested the table should be quiet and with romantic atmosphere. Lounge bar supposed to be loud and for mingling purpose, I was pissed off by the arrangement despite the table was reserved as early as in December which the nice window seats were not hard to get.Whern i found it days before 14/2, I used the reason to fight for my benefits, that Filipino replied with "no more dining seats" , I kinda roared to her and she raised her voice and we both act like mad women. At the end, I told her "I must talk to your manager, it's ridiculous that you can't offer a proper dining table when we reserved it in December "I won the fight, the manager being mature enough to handle the complaint. A window seat was prepared and the staff was polite and well-mannered.This dessert is just tooooo gorgeous! Top with a crispy coconut layer, rosebud, sorbet strawberry and bottom with cracking candy and raspberry syrup. So many different flavours and textures, can't stop smiling while enjoying it in my mouth Amedei hot chocolate cake with espresso caramelNot as surprising as the first one, filling easily cos it's full of choclate but it is still a very very nice one. These two desserts are very special and unique, one of the kinds you can't find it in other high-end dining areas. …Read More

Amigo, as one of the fine dining spots , is famous for her services. News about her that the food quality drops, well, I have never tried, so it's my first time to testify the truth, how well it goes for my personal taste I don't eat beef and it's a dish my friend orders. The appearance looks nice and juicy. As my friend is very easy going with whatsoever edible food, can't judge here but i will give a 4-5 for its pacakge.Fillet, my dish. Again, looks very nice, tender and soft. I am stuffed with this one dish. If it's served as a smaller portion I will be more satiafied. The signature choc-coated ice-cream, always my most favourite part. I think it's the best crispy coated ice-cream ever, can't get it anywhere, not even at the restaurants of best rating five-star hotels. If you ask me what draws me to here, I will tell you it's the warm, comfy decor and this ice-cream.At the end, I forgot to take the signature Napoleon Birthday cake. Whoever comes here for a birthday meal, don't forget to order it. It's real nice!…Read More

Marie Antoinette's Crave is the most surprisingly beautiful cake i've ever seen. It's right that it longer allows take-away as the marshmellow won't stand the temperature and that will crach the appearance. Inside the sponge cake is soft and nice. Four of us finish the whole cake. Can't get enough of itAmazingly beautiful cake!So beautiful inside and outside.…Read More
