Occasion: Saturday night dinner
Ordered:
- Gravy pork chop rice
- Black Truffle with Shrimp Pasta in cream sauce
Came with:
- 2 drinks
- garlic bread
- 2 soup
The waiting area was so small I thought I was going to tumble over on someone's table and land on their food whenever people tried to exit.
Your typical hong kong style cafe except the environment makes it feel slightly more upscale. (Slightly more). Everything from the garlic bread to the cold lemon tea tasted very typical.
The clam chowder was surprisingly really good and so was the Russian borsch soup.
The gravy pork chop rice my bf ordered tasted like pizza o_O.. I don't think I'd want to eat pizza in a hk cafe.
The black truffle with shrimp pasta in cream sauce was very strong on the truffle - which I enjoyed. But it was hard to really get the full taste of this "could have been wonderful dish" if they cooked the pasta just a little bit longer. The pasta was hard. It tasted like it was undercooked. Raw pasta, yuck. It could have been such a good dish....sigh.
A little bit overpriced for a hk cafe compared to many others. Bill came up to about $30 something for the two of us. Usually hk cafes are closer to the $20 mark for the both of us.
Don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon.
