One of the best South East Asian restaurant that serves up honest food. It doesn't do what other HK restaurants do which is to localize the dishes by dampening the flavour and reducing the flair of the dishes. The Minh and Koh in Fashion walk is a beautiful restaurant that has lovely decor, comfortable seating arrangements and has really good cutlery. Most importantly is that all the dishes that they serve are astonishing good.
This was my second time here and we managed to order a lot more this time. The dish I would recommend the most is the beef pho which has one of the best beef broth I've tasted with a nice base and garnished correctly with onions, shallots and Thai basil. Perhaps its not the most authentic interpretation of the dish, but the dish was very clear and had a very nice beef flavor which you will not find in many places in Hong Kong. I loved the soft shell crab which had a nice crispy texture with a rich flavour wrapped in a small salad which complimented it nicely. The grilled pork neck was excellent. It was well cook and juicy to eat. The lime soda and the basil drink was also very nice. One of the best things about this restaurant was the generous proportion size each dish served. It was plentiful and we couldn't order more because we were so full after ordering a few dishes to share amongst the two of us. The sticky red rice pudding with mango was also superb. It was presented like a tower with a nice warm coconut milk base and a beautiful golden praline on top of it making it a thing of beauty.
Honestly, this was one of my favorite places to eat because of the good value for money , but more importantly is that it does South East Asian food properly with flair and generosity. The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere and the food comes out very quickly. It is also very clean and I cannot recommend enough how good the dishes were. If you happen to be around Causeway Bay and are craving for something exciting, Minh and Koh is definitely worth considering to giving it a try.
