Let me start off with positive review. The environment was relax since it’s not packed and the food tasted ok but it was slightly overpriced for the location and style of the cafe.However, what turned out to be an unpleasant meal was the service was absolutely poor!!! My friend and I questioned the waiter why the set is not available on a Saturday when it said “not available on public holiday”. He then reply Saturday is a public holiday which we don’t agree. He said will go and check but obviously he ignored and never return to us. If the cafe choose not to offer the set on weekend and public holiday, they should specify correctly. Don’t treat customers as uneducated dumb people.My friend and I both agreed there were better or same quality cafes around and don’t expect us to return again.…查看更多
Opened at the end of 2021 located inside Central Market, an omakase that’s less than $400 for lunch and it’s so close to my office, so why not! I’ve been there for several lunches and this place is absolutely value for money with fresh ingredients. Compared to other omakase slightly above $400 in Central, Wako out beat most of them. What’s more? You have got to try their Sake On Tap! The freshness and sweetness of sake that you will not forget. The only down side was they didn’t give me enough uni (sea urchin) on my sushi ~ 😆 …查看更多
之前約咗班朋友去咗係銅鑼灣地鐵站對面新開嘅特色台式火鍋店。叫咗個醉雞鍋,啲湯料十足,味道濃郁。火鍋料都好新鮮同有特色。好似宮延格格肉夠爽口,火紅火綠安格斯牛肉丸其實係麻辣牛肉丸,夠刺激。三色鳥結糖同原隻鳳尾蝦餃都好精緻、好味 😋 其他食物都好新鮮、好好味!響鈴亦都係即叫即炸 ,冇油益味👍 最後甜品仲有四川冰粉Tried out this new special Taiwanese hotpot with my friends in Causeway Bay. We ordered a drunken chicken soup base. The whole pot filled with chicken and a strong smell of alcohol! All the meat and food was very fresh. They also provide special handmade dishes like Sichuan spicy Angus beef balls, prawn dumplings and pork squares which are all very delicious and exquisite.…查看更多
星期五對自己好啲, lunch喺中環走咗去近期好多人寫嘅西營盤新開越南粉外賣店EAT FUH HK。呢間外賣店係做澳洲式嘅越南河粉。我貪心啲叫咗個阮氏特別牛肉粉,可以一次過試晒所有牛肉部位再加咗份春卷。個牛肉粉係我係香港食過最好食嘅。唔係我偏幫澳洲幫,但澳洲嘅越南粉一向都好出名。碗牛肉粉嘅料仲多過啲河粉。牛肉熟咗都唔老證明係靚牛,牛柏葉唔會好難咬剛剛好,啲河粉亦都好滑。重點湯底更係值得一讚,好鮮甜,係個有誠意嘅湯底。個湯飲完唔會口渴,對於味精比較敏感嘅我,一試就知道真材實料。唯一美中不足嘅係個外賣盒太高,對筷子要放到底先夾到河粉,我半隻筷子都濕咗,喺個底度摷多幾摷下啲河粉開始爛。至於春卷,佢係用春卷皮做,屬於廣東飲茶式嘅春卷唔係用米紙包嘅越式春卷。但係我明白點解佢哋唔用米紙,因為米紙凍咗會變chewy,對於外賣來講唔太適合。雖然係咁,但係個春卷炸得超脆!讚!比起蔡瀾有份開嘅味精越南粉,紐約式嘅Pho Bar,同我覺得唔錯嘅Brass Spoon,我個人比較喜歡Eat Fuh嘅越南牛肉粉。期待之後試其他食物。希望將來有間餐廳可以坐低慢慢品嚐。Treat myself better on a Friday. Went and bought my lunch at a newly opened Vietnamese Pho takeaway shop in Sai Ying Pun. This shop is selling Australian style Vietnamese Pho. I was greedy and ordered a beef combo Pho so I could try everything in one go, also a serve of spring rolls. This beef Pho is the best one I had in HK. Not trying to be bias cause I am from Australia but Vietnamese pho in Australia has always been reputable. Surprisingly the beef pho contained more beef and parts than the noodles. Even though the beef are cooked, it did not taste rough which means it’s using quality beef. The texture of beef tripe was just right, not rubbery and the pho were slipping down my throat. Not to mention the sweetness of the soup, so outstanding. For a person who is sensitive to MSG like me, did not feel thirsty at all after drinking the soup. The only down side was the takeaway container was too high and made it difficult to get the pho down the bottom without making my chopsticks half wet. Also, the pho started to break into small pieces after a few attempts to get the pho.For the spring rolls, the shop is using the spring roll wrap so it’s the Canton style spring rolls at yum cha rather than using rice paper. However I understand why they did not use rice paper for their spring rolls because rice paper becomes chewy after awhile and not ideal for takeaway. Although it’s Canton style spring roll, it’s nicely fried and crispy.As compared to 蔡瀾 pho full of MSG, NY style Pho Bar and Brass Spoon, I prefer the beef pho from Eat Fuh. Keep up with the hard work and look forward to a sit in restaurant in the future…查看更多
Disclaimer! Food is subjective and depends on its own taste. This review is based on my opinion and does not apply to all.I don't write a lot of food reviews but if I write one, it's mostly a bad food review. A negative review of a cafe in Quarry Bay by celebrity chef. It’s truly disappointing or am I expecting too much from a celebrity chef?!?! Sorry but not sorry on my review. I had friends who went and tried and no good reviews about Grotto so far. Not sure whether we had a high benchmark on good food or others were too low.Coffeeoor! Thought this was the soul of a cafe.....The cafe offered fruity and nutty blend. Could taste the difference between the two blends, but fruity was too roasted and nutty was over roasted. Froth.....not fine and shiny and a sip short according to the cup presented. My coffee at home aren’t too bad after all.Food:Signature Stones (scones), nothing special and no surprise. Had Grandma’s Scones before, so it’s unnecessary to have this at this cafe. The rhubarb jam (meant to taste similar to roasted apples), it’s rare but there is always a reason why traditional scones use berries or citrus jam, so see for yourself.Service:Friendly but weren’t educated on their food and servings, including but not limited to, the portion of cream and jam and the name of the ingredients (rhubarb) in the jam. I understand it’s soft opening but at least know what kind of food they are serving.Cafe decowner did have some thoughts on the colors, paintings and the arch entrance etc. However, cafe was too noisy, sound absorption item/ deco was not considered and music was too loud to have a nice chat with friends. Obviously no one did sit down and listen to the sound and ambience level before the opening. As a result, the target audience weren’t clear, not sure if this is a dine and leave cafe or a cafe to chill and relax. Idk idk idk. Also that marble plate on marble table, didn’t work too well.....…查看更多
It's the second time I've been to Dandy's for lunch and it didn't disappoint me. I ordered today's special which is tomato and mixed vegetable soup, chicken breast and tofu veggie salad with coffee or tea. While my friend ordered a chicken pasta.The chef knows how to make an organic healthy meal to be tasty as well. I love the seasoning they have used in the salad and also the tofu.....so delicious! I tasted my friend's pasta which I found the texture of brown pasta to be slightly chewy and it gave that extra taste that you don't normally taste in normal pasta. I will definitely come back and try out their pasta and rice again.…查看更多
My bf and I felt like pizza for lunch on Sunday hence we drove to Tai Hang and try out this new place. We ordered fried calarmari, green salad and parma ham pizza. The calarmari was lightly battered and we were pretty happy with it. The salad was green plus olive oil, please don't expect a vinegar dressing or other kinds. When the pizza came, my bf and I both looked at each other thinking the crust of the pizza looked a little dark, in fact i should call it 'black' and 'burnt'. Anyway, we didn't ask the waiter to take it back as it is already late in the afternoon. We picked up the pizza with our hands and the crust crisped and broke off and fell on the plate coz the pizza was so over cooked. Not to mention the ham, the cheese and the rest of the ingredients cannot stay on the pizza at all! The whole pizza basically detached itself when we picked up the pizza. We thought having the ingredients on the pizza is the most basic requirement when making a pizza, but i assume not for Piccolo. To sum up, it was a disappointing meal and we will never go to Piccolo ever again.…查看更多
