After spending two hours walking around Tai Kwun highlighted by a personal tour from none other than Jelloman's dad who used to work here more than 30 years ago, it was finally time for lunch. Being the well-organized person that I'm, I've already got our lunch plans all figured out. In fact, I have secured a table at Old Bailey (奧卑利), a new restaurant by JIA Group over a month ago.First impressions are always important and we have a very good one here, with everyone loving the way they decorate
First impressions are always important and we have a very good one here, with everyone loving the way they decorate the space with a lot of wood. And it never hurts to have plenty of natural light too (though it's been a rainy day so far).
At the front end of Old Bailey, they have this small bar area serving alcohol, coffee and tea along with a small list of refreshment. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that their tea and cakes were actually supplied by Teakha (茶。家).
While I waited for the rest of the party to show up, I went out to the restaurant's L-shaped balcony to get a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed walking around this balcony. Not only does it have a very nice view of a quiet corner of Tai Kwun, it provides more than enough space for kids to run around.
This latest venture by JIA Group will tackle regional Jiangnan cuisine, bringing flavors from south of the Yangtze River including Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Yangzhou and Suzhou all together.
Marinated eggs, fermented rice wine (奧卑利酒糟蛋) ($68) - It was nice to see marinated eggs on the menu after our recent run of tea smoked eggs. These had really lovely fragrance and rich flavors having soaked in fermented rice wine for a while. Delish (Grade: 7.5/10).

On the bottom were traces of caramelized red dates and a layer of crispy crumble. Very addictive (Grade: 7.5/10)!
I thought it was a pretty nice lunch highlighted by some hearty family dishes from Jiangnan. Once again, it showed how a simple meal without fancy ingredients could make our tummies real happy.
