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

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 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

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

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

I’ve been told that this cafe has its branch open in the airport and I checked it out today. Coffees range from $30-$50 and they are very reasonably priced. Baked goods were good too. It’s good for grab & go, and you as well might sit in and enjoy, before basking out in town. If I were to get myself one piece out of the cabinet, I’d like the big pretzel topped with grilled cheese. That looked phenomenal, and I’d need a hot coffee to dip that in. …查看更多

I met with a new friend at this cha chaan teng for an early dinner before attending my acting class. Coming early, we were able to enjoy the tea time menu.My carbonara was stirred with strips of bacon and a lot of dried parsley. Pasta was good, and the carbonara sauce was better than how I expected. This was a surprising plate of pasta you could find in a very local cha chaan teng. Milk tea had strong tea flavour. …查看更多

Pet-friendly, nestled in the first floor, very spacious, with a selection of special cocktails, coffee, tea and western dishes, this is the place you would need to take a break from everyday reality. Spanish suckling pig was marinated for two days before checking into the oven, served with cajun French fries. Skin was thin and delicately crispy, the flesh was ultra tender and I was impressed. Slow cooked duck breasts were equally tender, and the dipping sauce was an amazingly zesty one, I finished all the sauce cos it went very well with the suckling pig, too. The WOW spaghetti came with a signature tomato bolognese sauce with a lot of beef, it's the comforting dish you'd need. Calzone stuffed with beef was freshly baked and the pastry was highly buttery. I helped myself with a pot of hot passion fruit tea, it's sweet and warming, the staff was so friendly to let me pick a set of beautiful cups from their cupboard, to serve my tea in. French-style baked fuji apple with cinnamon, tequila honey and roasted nuts was a genuine gift for yourself in this sinister winter. The apple was baked to pillowy soft, and the depth of sweetness and nuttiness in this dessert was something else. Try it yourself, you well deserve one. …查看更多

While in this snacking mall, we ought to order a tray of hot fresh takoyaki. We didn’t need takeout bag/ package so they served our orders really swiftly, within half a minute after we paid. The mentaiko sauce was pink, and lightly savoury, it wasn’t spicy. There were two big authentic chewy dices of octopus inside each takoyaki ball. Quite delicious in general. $33 for a box of six. Box of eight was also available. Topped with bonito flakes, and fully covered with mentaiko salad dressing, the takoyaki was served very hot and each bite was satisfying. …查看更多

They say you outta try the basics out in order to tell if a bakery is good. I was tempted to try the fancier variations, however I made my mind up and had the most fundamental piece of butter croissant. Dined in, sat down, served hot, flaky outside, huge in size, fluffy inside. It’s essentially a very good piece of croissant. Every dimension was in balance, it’s nearly perfect, I wish they added more butter in the recipe (just my personal preference). It’s almost Christmas and you could find gingerbread man and cookies at their counter. Staff was very friendly. …查看更多

We had the build your own taco sushi. Our order was mashed tuna sashimi, salmon dices on hot sushi rice, all sandwiched in a beautifully shaped and extremely crunchy deep fried nori seaweed tempura shell. It was made to order and there were three types of sauces to finish. Ours was dressed with mayonnaise. There were also mentaiko/ spicy sauce available. It was a delightful afternoon treat after our board game gathering. …查看更多

A new eatery serving HK-style noodles/ rice/ salad with deep fried morsels, at an unbeatable down-to-earth price. The inside has a lot of seatings and there are moon lights hanging on the ceiling. We sat by the windows and we enjoyed a chatty time. Meals came with drinks, and prices ranged from $50-60. Really good for the quality. My pick was lemongrass bone-in pork chop with ramen in tomato soup. The soup was tasty, there were like six/ seven types of noodles to choose from, like rice noodles; ramen; macaroni; rice macaroni etc. Fruit salads were their signature too. They have a few varieties of salad to choose, my friend got the colourful all-fruit salad, that has a range of at least 7 colours of beautifully cut fresh fruits in it. It’s fabulous and nutritious at the same time. …查看更多

Felt like a hearty & warm dinner while we are facing this sinister winter. This hot sizzling claypot braised beef and eggplants with holy basil gave me strength. Beef was hugely sliced, eggplants were succulent, underneath them were bean sprouts, assorted mushrooms, capsicums, and holy basil scented sauce to go with a steaming bowl of rice. Cucumber salad was fully dressed in a gingery garlicky spicy sauce, every bite cheered me up. Pork collar was served in thick cut and came with Thai sweet chili sauce. Iced Malay milk tea was a much needed quencher. Seats were very spacious; dinner sets were reasonably priced; interior was extra brightly lit. …查看更多

This popular bakery has arrived in the latest establishment at one end of LCK. Seat-ins are available upon purchase of one drink. I came for their buns. The grilled chicken bun was fresh, skin-on teriyaki chicken thigh, on a bed of salad greens and a lemony Hollandaise sauce. It’s sold at a good price as well. They sell a variety of pan au chocolat and the ribbon shaped ones were absolutely so cute that I couldn’t help snapping pictures of them. They look incredibly glossy and flaky to me. And I assure you they’ll be in my mouth up next. …查看更多
