Fun fact: Do you know that today is the last Friday in August? Yes it's time to celebrate the weekend with some crispy pork knuckle. What's better? Getting pork knuckle here comes with two complimentary glasses of boozy lemon tea (available all time all day)- they are the best potion for rewinding your soul I assure you. Amuse's pork knuckle is one of the best in town, honestly speaking. Cooked very crunchy, tasted finger licklingly delicious, not greasy at all, came in an absolutely huge portion, served with a side of appetising honey mustard, sauerkraut and mixed greens. We could easily finish the whole tray. On top of our pig, we shared a snack platter featuring extremely crispy bacon-wrapped weiner, lovely and sweet beer-battered onion rings, mozzarella sticks and fried wings. Make sure to dip these babies in the BBQ sauce and aioli ranch on the side. It's weekend so we added some grilled dried pufferfish with mayo to our table and called it a night.

It’s Friday and the three of us had a happy hour catch up by the window side table overlooking Wanchai busy streetscape. I love the sofa seats with printed fabric cushions, that felt like home. The tomato & burrata cheese salad was so good and served on a toasted piece of pillowy sourdough. My tipple pic for the night was the haut blanc from France, medium dryness and easy to drink on a hot summer night. The other was the Three Oaks cider. Chicken parm was covered in an amazing blanket of melted cheese. Pumpkin risotto was cooked with sweet cinnamon powder, nuts and some crispy sautéed leaves- quite herbal. Star of the night was the Butter & vanilla croissant breading pudding. OMG THIS IS THE MOST GOOD-looking piece of bread pudding I’ve had in my life so far. Well stacked and came in perfect layers, soaked in just the bare minimum amount of custard (which is very very unusual). That scoop of vanilla icecream and caramel crumbles were the best companion as well. It’s honestly a genuine smokeshow! …查看更多

It’s a long one! 🎺 Southern Indian dosa crepe; 🎶 dok-dok bamboo biryani This Indian eatery is honestly a champion, blasted with Indian music videos and laughters from the customers. Most importantly, every dish was so bomb and the red sofa seatings were so comfy, it made me want to stay all night, jk!This hot weather makes me ultra hungry so a bamboo biryani could fuel us up, the staff would pour the rice right at your table by dok-dok-dok tapping on the bamboo container. You could choose chicken or mutton to go with the rice, there were egg, veggies, and an onion yogurt sauce to go with the crabs. It tasted fulfilling and the basmati rice were cooked moist, easy for digestion during hot summer times. Showstopper of the night went to the butter dosa, it was a very long and huge roll of fermented crepe made out of ghee and rice. It was so amazingly delicious, crispy on its edge and chewy at its centre, with bubbly panfried marks over the crepe. Tear off this beauty and dip that into the four sauces of choice: coconut, tomato, mint and lentil. Another signature was their butter chicken masala, man, that was the best butter chicken we have had in HK so far, both of us agreed. Taste was rich, buttery and all-rounded, masala texture was perfect, chicken was tender and grilled. Every spoonful was an enjoyment, of cos you need to spoon that onto a piece of garlic naan, which was freshly prepared with very high quality. Fried chicken lollipop was marinated with red sauce and deep fried, and served with a sweet spicy garlic sauce- very appetising and I literally couldn't stop grabbing the next one to devour. Those green-marinated chicken on sizzling plate were puthina murgh tikka, served pipping hot, with finely smoked and charred flavour. You can't go wrong with mango lassi, they even made that with Pakistani mango which was extra fragrant. My choice was the savoury spiced butter milk, it was like a drinking yogurt seasoned with peppery papadum spices, very stimulating and that was how we call it a night!…查看更多

I'd seriously recommend booking this place for birthday celebrations in big groups, because they have huge tables and incredible Chinese cuisines to serve. Our birthday star was stunned by her "cake" this year, with a very aromatic baked caramelised top; custardy sago pudding in the middle; and sweet lotus paste at the bottom. The three layers perfectly melted into each other, and you could easily spoon this cake to savor. We got each of us a serving of the signature soup stewed in purple clay teapots, just poured the golden liquid out into the tea cup when you are ready to drink. It's the very rare moment that I enjoy soup in such a delicate and delicious way. There were dried conch, chicken feet, dried scallop, lean pork, yam, and wolfberries boiled in this soup- an absolute elixir to cure my body & soul. A proper Chinese feast should never miss any of these: Peking duck is a must-order, fried whole crispy chicken (on superb discount at occasions, please keep a keen eye!), giant prawn toasts that were extremely crispy and delightful, very well-seasoned fish paste-shaped fish that came in a tasty Chinese demi glace made of black beans & sun-dried mandarin peels, Chinese liver pate & preserved salted meat sandwich (a tribute to the traditional Money Chicken rolls), and a pot of assorted vegetables cooked with fragrant dried prawns, squid legs, mushrooms and vermicelli. Such a great dinner. …查看更多

Owner of this place has their own rice farm to produce quality white grains that are made into the mains of their fine dining menus. Definitely check this place out if you are a rice fans, their rice were full in shape and smelt extra aromatic. Their house grown rice magically became the Korean beef and clams congee (the juk), the solsot stone pot rice with a variety of kimchis, and the waffled stretchy mochi with a superb chestnut and honey cream cheese. All these rice items were genuinely excellent and prepared with high standards. The staff was very caring and friendly, he kindly reminded us the fine dining would last for at least an hour and a half, so we could take our time and need not to hurry. It was a totally relaxing time looking from high above, the Victoria park, harbour and the bustling roads, while we said cheers to our makgeolli, cut apart our grilled pork belly and ginseng chicken burger, mixed our cold noodles with raw marinated cuttlefish, and savoured each perfect bite of the crispy seafood pancakes, as well as the soup dumplings. Our bill was less than HK$900 per person at lunch hour, for a fine dining level of specially designed Korean menu, this is invincible. …查看更多

We came here during their soft opening, and it was a busy night. Having an overdue gathering, we went overboard ordering everything from the menu. The interiors were relaxing, although a little noisy, seatings were spacious and great for big-scale reunions. My personal favourites were the Camembert cheese & ham pizza, the base was baked in Italian Naples style and was chewy. You should also try their savoury soufflé baked with a trio of cheese, and spinach. This dish was a winner, tasted rich, cheesy and unique. My friends gave high commendation to the squid ink pasta with a very tender octopus tentacle. The braised beef pumpkin risotto lacked pumpkin flavour, but came with a bone marrow, it was a nice touch. We sampled the fruity shakes, which were served in small glasses. Wish they were larger. Desserts were crepes, which batter were layered and cooked in medium thickness. Both flavours were good, it could be more “French” if they made the crepes a little thinner. …查看更多

It's finally weekend again and if you like brunching like me, you should definitely visit this cafe in the Little Brooklyn district of Hong Kong (a.k.a. Sham Shui Po). Two-storey high, brutalist-styled interiors, collabs with fashion brand Y-3, this place is perfect for your next brunch out. I went upstairs for their camping-themed seatings, foldable chairs and portable tables, with aircon I can finally enjoy a comfortable indoor camping/ picnic moment without getting myself overheated. My plate had a pot of superbly scrumptious smoked cauliflower purée, with beautiful slices of cucumbers and smoked salmon on top, most impressively there were pickled red onions and fresh dills to serve with- honestly delicate and details matter! Those two pieces of sourdough toasts were GOLD. They were freshly made, extremely crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly toasted with butter. I could eat this bread literally every day. We know glamping is popular, so I glam it up with a bottle of double matcha latte. I love their recipe cos the latte was so smooth and slipped down my throat like silk. I really like the balance of taste in their matcha latte, where earthiness and sweetness are evenly blended like the horoscope Libra.…查看更多

Chic & relaxing yakitori & sake bar towards the street's end We began celebrating my horoscope month early this year, the yakitori and hospitality in this setting gave us an absolute enjoyment, and we ended up exalting the food and the vibe in full contentment. Lounges for boozy catch-ups, and lockers for your bags, are both available, so you can completely put your chores down and relax here with a fancy yakitori getaway.Seat yourself comfortably around the kitchen island and spectate the chefs chargrilling the skewers, because you will appreciate how smokeless and well-controlled the fireside was. Every skewer was stunning (both a-la-carte, and omakase available), made out of fresh produce and carefully seasoned and cooked. My personal favourites of the omakase set tonight (HK$ 728 /pax) were:10/10 Tori paitan (鶏白湯), this was the best chicken white broth I've tasted in HK so far, cooked for 10 hours with locally raised three-yellow chicken, the flavour was at its finesse, I assure you. You can order just the soup, or you can opt for the addition of some fine made udon;Crispy skin-on white eel, so beautifully sectioned, spongy flesh and highly delicious grilled skin;Cheesy rice cake, which the chewy rice outer was so different from the regular ones, you could tell there's something special about the choice of starch and ways they handled the rice cake;Smoked daikon studded with cream cheese and sliced- this was another masterpiece, crunchy, smoky and velvety at the same time, the presentation was second-to-none since it looked like sliced truffles laying on a delicate stone crafted bowl. We were so happy, another best part was the short greetings in well-articulated Japanese from the smiling staff. Definitely felt like dining in Tokyo. …查看更多

Who needs a flight ticket to Paris when you can treat yourself to a brunch in Le French style right in town? Located next to the middle section of the Central escalator, this Michelin-awarded bistro is a must-visit for diners craving both good food and good mood. The very delicious plate of sourdough toasts was served in unlimited portion, as our sommelier told us it's a French restaurant afterall. He welcomed us with a glass of Secret Garden that's mixed with cucumber, green juices and freshly picked herbs, and a glass of non-alcoholic wine alternative, her pick was the caramelised pear gingery kombu and it tasted as soothing as the recent autumnal weather.We tried the signature beef tenderloin tartare from the lunch menu ($358 pp) and selected the rest from Chef's daily special: absolutely delightful crunchy pieces of celtuce served on a bed of delicate egg mayo & crispy crouton salad; really tender, juicy and excellently seared ox-tongue with very velvety mashed potatoes; and baked macaroni in black truffle heavy cream that was dressed with a fancy chicken jus. Ladies never forget their desserts, our picks were St. Honoré and Tarte Tropézienne, these were breathtaking pieces of art. The former had amazingly beautiful whipped vanilla cream and mini caramelised puffs on top, the latter was an orange blossom flavoured cream-filled brioche. All thumbs up for the desserts- let my pictures speak for them. …查看更多

Fish is nutritious, you know it, I know it. Yet, lazy bug me would rather have my big fish cooked and made to my table. With no hassles needed, we had this really tasty bowl of fish broth mixian noodles, there's a variety of toppings to choose from. Our pick was the very tender beef brisket. BOSS of the night: Deep fried whole striped bass. Boys and girls please get your fish here cos they fried them real good. Crispy, not oily, served at its finest pose on the dish. Most perfectly, the flesh had wonderfully fresh and bouncy texture. Your fish can go with noodles or rice, we opted for pork mince on rice. On the side: new-in deep fried sliced tofu. Served on a hot pan, these tofu slices were seasoned with salt and pepper, topped with a few crispy dried shrimps. Very tasty morsels in my opinion. …查看更多

Missing so much our Tokyo yakiniku experience, we visited this place in D2 place. The brand originates from Ginza and its third branch is now open in Lai Chi Kok! With highly authentically Japanese decors, interiors and tabletop grills, we spent a very nice yakiniku hour here. Our picks were two Japanese wagyu grill sets, featuring a variety of special cuts. There were small labels telling you which parts you'd be grilling. All parts were cleanly cut and presented in sophistication. Lunchtime diners enjoy a complimentary set of salad, kimchi, soup and rice, upon each order of meat. My personal favorite was the "羽下" and "貝身" cuts combo. On top of wagyu beef, we topped up with a plate of pork and chicken thigh. To make them even tastier, leave them barbecue for longer, so the fat melts and allow time for the meat to perfectly crisp up!…查看更多

Last Sunday was a hard one cos I had work really early and faraway, in Tin Shui Wai. I'm not part of the 'gang gang' so it's a tough day. Never mind that, as this Hainanese chicken rice specialty shop saved my tired soul, it's also a dessert shop with a great selection of sweet treats. My set was the upgraded combo (just add a few more dollars) that came with a mini dessert and a drink of choice. I like that you can pick how the carbs be cooked (e.g. simple chicken oil rice/ fried rice with shrimp paste/ laksa noodles etc.), aside from their signature protein (there were chicken/ pork/ wings and others to choose from). Hainanese chicken was boneless and tender, my bowl of fried rice was so satisfying. The highlight definitely went to the dipping sauces and the chicken soup! Their sauces were gingery, a tad spicy, and made me drool so much. Soup was a full-on flavorful chicken broth that made me wanna encore. I had some grilled pork collar too, also served with an equally fantastic dipping sauce. Bonus: Hey look at my grass jelly and assorted rice/ taro balls sweet soup. This is Taiwan in a bowl right there. Everything was authentic and tasted fresh, the evaporated milk broth was mixed to a sweet spot, just to my liking, and there were very fragrant dried petals drizzled on top, that rounded up the whole dessert extremely fine. Mmm mmm!…查看更多

My sibling loves this Aussie-inspired dining place so much, that is why we have pre scheduled to revisit it this autumn. It was a lucky night, they were serving the new all-you-can-eat wagyu menus and we love beef! Staff was as friendly as we always remember, while we were busy devouring our steaks, there was a cheerful one kept on rolling out free bites from the kitchen and asked each table if they'd like to try, minimizing food waste and also giving us a chance to taste more of their tidbits. What a vibe! We had the basic set: $298pp (+10%), that included hearty pumpkin soup; extremely delicious crispy French fries in medium cut; really appetising beet & tomato salad dressed in an excellent vinaigrette; three choices of Australian wagyu: (1) wagyu beef bavette, (2) wagyu roast beef, (3) wagyu rump steak; and two choices of rigatoni pasta. Every category was all-you-can-eat, with a single price you could order as much as you like, that reminded me of my very pleasant cruise-dining on the sea, now we did it on the ground. The wagyu was so tasty and we were able to have two rounds. Our personal faves went to (1) and (2), which were served pink and filled with fatty parts, so yum! The (3) rump steak was more cooked/ smoked, it had the richest beef flavour and was an impressive one as well. Nothing was wasted and we left fully satisfied with all the plates emptied! …查看更多

All of my friends are visiting Taiwan to take short breaks from work, putting me in the mood for a Taiwanese brunch. This diner brings their menus from Taiwan to Yuen Long, and you must try their signature mince pork on rice+ meatball drop soup. They were cooked with authentic flavours, the pork sauce on the rice was savoury and rich, added with sliced tofu puff that absorbed all the sauce. Meatball drop soup was very yummy, the sourness in it made it very addicting, and the meatballs had amazingly wonderful texture, it's like they hand-kneaded them, steamed them, before boiling them in the soup. Make sure to also have some of their side dishes, because all of them were absolutely delicious and served in high quality, yet with low price!Taro mash & pork floss toasties- thick in size, smooth & sweet taro, very satisfying Taiwanese egg pancakes- came in various fillings, the top 1 item for a proper Taiwanese breakfast/ brunch Grass jelly sweet soup with chewy taro/ crystal balls- a drooling dessert that quench both your thirst and hunger Wintermelon iced tea- their recipe was SO GOOD, it's mildly sweet with a perfect balance in flavours, not gonna lie it's one of the best wintermelon teas that made my drinking experience a truly enjoyable one. …查看更多

I've been craving a Mexican night for longer than you could imagine. We were blessed to finally come for their ribeye quesadilla, toastadas, and ribs. The steak quesadilla was sandwiched with fresh melted cheese, caramelised onion, and very juicy ribeye parts. It was very delicious, I could have the whole plate, literally, if I were to dine solo. Quesadilla was served with a trio of dips: sour cream, guacamole, and a spicy salsa. Beyond that we shared very crispy guac & cheese toastadas, that looked like two big cute golden bowls filled with extremely tasty toppings. The pork ribs were covered in a rich rub and barbecued to just right- not dried up, and still held all the juices from the meat. Together with the tomato salsa and fries, it was a great pre-birthday dinner for yet another libra. …查看更多
