Lockhart Road has several kebab restaurants and whenever boyfriend has a craving, we usually head out here. And it was on this day we found a kebab restaurant we had never seen before. It appeared to be new.At the front was what appeared to be Turkish ice cream! I had it a long time ago and have not found it since in Hong Kong. I wanted to give this a try so we decided to eat here for dinner.Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. They serve mainly two types of meat: chic
At the front was what appeared to be Turkish ice cream! I had it a long time ago and have not found it since in Hong Kong. I wanted to give this a try so we decided to eat here for dinner.
Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge. They serve mainly two types of meat: chicken and lamb. This is served in either a wrap, flat bread, rice or salad. They also have falafel for those that want something vegetarian.
The most interesting thing is the machine they use to slice the kebab meat! I had not seen this in Hong Kong. All the other restaurants we've been to did this by hand. This was very fascinating to watch.
Boyfriend had the Chicken Kebab Wrap ($50) with the spicy sauce that was very spicy. The wrap was thin but sturdy enough to hold everything in place. The meat was moist and there was plenty of sauce. Fresh lettuce was included to give it crunch.
I had the Lamb Kebab Bread ($80) and opted not to have the spicy sauce. This was absolutely fantastic. Loads of meat. But the best was the flatbread. Soft and fragrant. I loved this bread.
Turkish Ice Cream ($40) is why I wanted to try this place. They have three flavours: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The owner proudly informed us that he made it himself! This was a fun ice cream. Super stretchy. It felt like eating mochi.
We decided to order a Baklava ($40). A fair price as you get two pieces. Baklava is probably my all time favorite Middle Eastern desserts. These weren't as sweet as other baklavas I've had but it was still packed with chopped nuts and the filo pastry was soaked generously in honey.
A wonderful find with good food that is made by the owners. The owners are a husband and wife team who were very friendly and offered lots of information about their culture and food. Definitely a place worth searching out.
