I came to the house of gourmet coming off 8 years of avoiding the place after I got food poisoning from a fish dish the first time I ate here, and I'm glad I decided to give them another chance.
Despite the obvious issue, the place is much cleaner than before, both in the eating and prep areas. We made a reservation and we were seated immediately and were greeted with plentiful seating and very friendly hostesses. There's an extensive brunch and special menu which you should definitely take a look at as there will be something for all palates with both Western and traditional Hong Kong favorites.
I ended up playing it safe this time around, avoiding the fish altogether, and opting instead for an egg sandwich, tea and a lychee cooler and I was very satisfied with the total lunch price siting around 6.50. Good value, good food and great service what more can you ask for? I'll be definitely coming back in the mean time, but it'll be a while before I get another fish plate.
