Having a never-ending to-try list of restaurants on Hong Kong Island, I always try to tackle them one by one during days I work there.I have tried the afternoon tea at Cobo House a while ago and have always wanted to try their lunch or dinner.Arriving at the restaurant on a chilly rainy day, I was glad to see parking directly across the restaurant and the service of warm water.

I have tried the afternoon tea at Cobo House a while ago and have always wanted to try their lunch or dinner.
Arriving at the restaurant on a chilly rainy day, I was glad to see parking directly across the restaurant and the service of warm water. I was quite amazed to see some interesting fusion food especially with the Korean elements in many of the dishes.
Everything looked so delicious and we did not know how to choose. I heard that their cocktails are amazing but I didn’t want to go to work feeling slightly tipsy so I guess I’d leave it for another time.
Bulgogi, Seaweed Arancini Rice Rolls $188
Deep fried rice roll! The tomato sauce on the side goes very well with it. While I thought it would just be some plain rice in it, it’s actually risotto! The greens and homemade pickles on the side definitely reduce the guilt of indulging in deep friend goodness!

Soft Shell Crab, Garden Salad with Jeju Citrus Dressing, Wasabi Ranch Dressing $268
I loved this! Generous portion of soft-shell crab & greens on popover. Soft-shell crab was crispy and it surprisingly matched pretty well with the wasabi ranch, especially as I don’t normally like wasabi-tasted food. We did not expect such a big portion and we were very full by then.

Hokkaido Uni, Korean Chili, Spaghetti $338
As a sea urchin maniac, this is the main reason I came for lunch! The Hokkaido uni was very sweet and fresh and I didn’t mix them thoroughly into the pasta. However, given my careful move with the sea urchin, I did not mix the pasta thoroughly enough. There were a lot of chili on the bottom and it got quite spicy in the end. I love spicy and this was really surprising, usually the “spicy pasta” are not quite spicy, and the whole combination of uni, chili and cream was just amazing.

Service and ambience were great. We had a wonderful lunch there. Cobo house is probably not a place for every day meal but the price is justified by its quality on every standard. I’d be back again as I already miss their food!
