The Place: Breaks is a sports bar conveniently situated at the edge of Kennedy Town nearby the waterfront. When you feel like a football match of the English Premier League and a cold Lager (or any other beer or even a cocktail) this is the place to go. Breaks does not only offer a thriving selection of drinks but also delicious Thai food at a reasonable price.
The Food & Beverage: Last Sunday afternoon, a friend and I decided to make our way to Kennedy Town to have a couple of fresh and cool Lager beers along some Thai food. It was “happy hour” when we arrived at Breaks so the drinks were offered at a particularly good price (45HK$ for a pint of Heineken).
After a few cold ones we decided to order a bite to eat.
Firstly went for Yellow Chicken Curry with Chapati (or whatever you may call it in Thai) on the side. There was a good blend of Thai spices in this yellow curry along some coconut milk not overwhelming the ingredients at all. In terms of ingredients, there was tender chicken (without any bones or fat), onions, carrots, and green peppers. The so-called Chapati was soft and not too greasy at all. The dish was good but unfortunately not enough to fill “two” empty stomachs, so we ordered a second dish.
This time we went for Thai-style ground pork with chilies and basil in lettuce. The ground pork was lean, and this dish came with a dipping sauce consisting of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chilies, freshly squeezed lime juice, finely chopped ginger root, garlic cloves, jalapeno, and green onions. The sauce intensified the taste of the dish and when having added too much, it burned :-) The ground pork was to be wrapped in the lettuce leaves with some fresh Thai basil sprinkled on top. It was my first time to try this dish and I was amazed by its intense taste; I also liked the fact that I was able to use my hands to eat, which made it way more fun. Absolutely delicious.
The Price: Our entire bill came to around 280HK$ consisting of, I believe, three pints of Heineken (45HK$x3) plus the Curry (ca. 80HK$) and the Ground Pork (ca. 60HK$). I’d say that was a pretty good deal for the yummy food and drinks we had.Bottom-Line: I enjoyed my afternoon at Breaks. The atmosphere was decent though there could have been a few more other guests around, the place was in order and inviting, the football on TV was entertaining and not a single bit annoying, the toilets were super clean with a nice smell of food coming from the kitchen, the staff was friendly but seemed a bit bored at times, the food was honestly speaking pretty yummy, and the beers were the opposite of stale. It was the perfect place to be on this Sunday afternoon! Thanks for that. We’ll come back one day.
