A gathering with friends and my first dining experience at Full/half! We were quite early (6-ish) so there were just a few tables when I joined my friends. The atmosphere was quite cozy with a pinch of shabby chic. Even the cutlery and tableware were quite stylish. Definitely a place for a girls' night out!There were dinner sets available but we thought it'd be cheaper to order a la carte. Two of us had cream of truffle soup as appitizer and fresh urchin spaghetti (HKD80-ish) as mains . Another
There were dinner sets available but we thought it'd be cheaper to order a la carte. Two of us had cream of truffle soup as appitizer and fresh urchin spaghetti (HKD80-ish) as mains . Another friend of mine ordered linguine with prawns.LOVE the truffle soup as it was quite creamy and thick. The tiny bits of mushrooms and truffles filled my mouth with sweet aroma! The size of truffles and mushrooms was just right so you have the right amount of these chewy bits for every mouthful of soup.
The spaghetti with fresh Japanese urchin with cherry tomatoes and crab roe wasn't bad as well. I would say the seasonings were of just the right balance. Again, the sauce is rather thick. I finished the whole dish but my friend couldn't prolly because of the strong-flavoured thick sauce. I found the chewiness of spaghetti just right though. All in all, quite a fine dish.
My friend got her spaghetti with prawns. She seemed happy with the main as well.
Finished off with desserts. I had a warm chocolate flan (HKD38) and my friend had a jar of tiramisu and a piece of opera cake respectively. My chocolate flan was nice for the top (crisp enough) and the inside (hot chocolate flow) but not the base. It's weird because the consistency was different for the base which I believe is due to overcooking. It was chewy. Personally I would prefer homemade vanilla icecream with vanilla seeds to Movenpick's icecream.
The jar of tiramisu looked impressive on its own! ^v^ My friend loved it. And same for the opera cake.We all love the restaurant and would surely head back for more! =)
