The place is at the basement of Prince's Building where my former office situated, nicely decorated. You will meet a lot of senior government officers or legislative councillors here as well, as it is close to Legislative Council.
Since my boss was paying, and everything on the a la carte menu is very expensive, all of us ordered 2 courses set lunch ($238 each). For three courses set lunch (which includes dessert), it would cost $338. Two options for starter: cream of tomato soup and Thai shrimp salad. Two choices for main course: chicken something (pan fried chicken and baked with cheese) and salmon. Dessert was crème brulée . I don't think it is worthwhile to spend another $100 for crème brulée , no matter how good it might be.
I ordered salad and salmon.
Bread basket comes first. There were 4 to 5 choices of bread, which were quite nice and they were warm and soft when served.
The salad was very tasty and fresh with about 3 to 4 fresh shrimps. However, the portion was extreme small and comes with a lot of vermicelli. Apart from the shrimps, the costs of the whole salad could be less than $10.
The salmon came next. Again, fresh and very nicely pan fried with lots of juice kept inside and served with with olive and asparagus. The only bad comment is that, many of us ordered salmon and when they all arrived, we discovered that the portion on the plates varied quite substantially. The salmon of the lady colleague next to is was much smaller than mine. Some of salmon fillets were bigger or thicker than others. It was quite embarrassing.
I ordered breshly brewed coffee after lunch, which was very nice, much better than Starbuck or Pacific Coffee.
The waitresses were attentive and polite. The waiters were good as well and they know the dishes on the menu well, as we did not understand how the chicken was prepared and one of them was able to explain to us in detail. However, waiters were less careful compared with the waitresses.
Apart from the price, this is in general a very good lunch.
