We tried the dinner tasting menu at Dim Sum Library, and loved the great variety of food it offered. The meal started off with some of their signature fried and steamed dim sums. The Wagyu beef puff had a bit of a peppery kick, while we also loved the Dandan xiaolungbao which had bursting juices. The main courses include a prawn paste lettuce, stir fried Wagyu, fried rice and e-fu noodles, which were all excellently executed. The dessert was a cashew panna cotta. We loved how this $360 set includes all signature items, and found it a good bargain with all the food included: …Read More

This Taiwan Eatery located at Tseung Kwan O mainly serves Taiwan Hotpot. They offer a wide variety of innovative soup flavors, including curry milk cap, tong yum, satay beef, Korean kimchi, sour and spicy and many more. There must be a suitable one for you. Each pot comes with different ingredients, and you could order add-ons. They also come with a bowl of rice or vermicelli. I ordered curry soup base, and loved its creamy and slightly spicy after tastes. Their ingredients are of high quality too, with the beef being tender and lean. The vermicelli soaked up all the essences, and was very tasty. My friends ordered tongyum, kimchi and satay and we recommend the latter two flavors. Apart from the hotpots, we also ordered deep fried squid balls and Taiwanese sausages as snacks. Both were delicious especially the latter one that was fresh and bouncy. Priced at just around $90 per pot, food here are good value for money. We would definitely be back if we ever crave for a quick and convenient hotpot.…Read More

Ramen from the Zagin Soba company is always the best. I have always loved the chicken soup and fish ramen. Therefore, I was very excited about the new oyster ramen. This soup is made with pork, chicken and oyster. It’s filled with so much oyster aroma. The noodles are delivered straight from Japan. They were fat and look like hofun, but is much chewier. They are best to adhere all the oyster broth to them. Their charsiu is slow cooked and have distinct grilled flavors on the outside, while the oyster is very fresh. It’s taste was on the briny side. This ramen is definitely one of the best!…Read More

Central branch has better service than the Sheungwan branch as they will help you grill the wagyu. You have to do it by yourself at Sheungwan. The set is of good value as they provide a lot of wagyu cuts and all we’re of high quality. Their seasonings and condiments were nice too. Overall a pleasant experience …Read More

Finally able to try Batard after all these years. Their lunch sets are a really good deal, with five courses at $500. We loved all the dishes especially the crustacean sauce!

Samsen is absolutely the best Thai restaurant in town. I always order their pad see ew, which has super chewy textures from their fresh hofun. Instead of boat noodles, the Sheung wan branch offers curry noodles instead. It was mildly spicy but very rich and tasty. Strongly recommend that.…Read More

A rather new bakery in WanChai opened by the chef of Passion. The croissants were very chewy on the inside due to the sour dough starter. It was also flaky and crispy on the outside. Their signature chocolate tart was rich and heady. We absolutely loved the semi-alfresco dining environment …Read More
