Hong Kong has taken on the Sunday Brunch with Leaps & Bounds from Entry Level to High End Ballers DP/Krug Champagne packages it seem every Hotel/Restaurant has their own signature twist to what is predominantly the same format. Semi Or Full Buffet with a Main Course Choice and a Drinks Package to Boot.
It has been a while since we had last had brunch in a Hotel & the choices was endless but we opted on Flint Grill & Bar this Weekend as we had heard good reports.
We were immediately greeted by the associate & ushered to our table; she proceeded to make small talk asking if we had been here before & highlighting brunch itself.
We were seated next to the Cold Section of the Buffet on High Banquette Tables.
Before we could look around our surroundings we were greeted by another associate with the menus & first drinks.
We opted for the Free-Flow Drinks Package @ $180 HKD which includes Champagne (Verve), White, Red, and Rose Wines & Chipotle Bloody Mary.
She explained the Semi Buffet Selections the bottomless Bites Selection from the Kitchen which had around 12 items on offer.
The Cold Section on offer was Sushi & Sashimi, Charcuterie section with condiments, small DIY Salad Section, Cheese Board & pre-made Canapés & Salads. All Items was tasty & well presented.
The Highlight for most people would be the Chilled Seafood Section, boasting Boston Lobsters, Crabs, Mussels, Prawns & Sea Snail just this alone would have many coming back for more.
The Main Course/Bites had a Japanese Edge with Ingredients and Cooking Methods in that Style.
All items came quickly meaning most of them had been pre-made all items with the exception of a few was 1 to 2 bites. Some Hits & Misses.
Uniforms were casual Jeans & Shirt with Supervisors/Managers wearing jackets
Music was cool & funky keeping to its youthful casual feel
Service was attentive but not obtrusive the Manager Joy came around to tables while check on the Brunch on a few occasions.
Dessert Selection was small with Home-Made Biscuits, Cut Cakes, Puddings, and Fruits. Ice Cream & Sorbet was also available.
Overall a very enjoyable Sunday Afternoon Brunch
