Apparently they have one of these in the IFC and I never knew it. I noticed this place on one of my infrequent trips to the Hopewell Center and I had to grab a panini. I'm a sandwich-lover by heart, and I try not to let sandwich places in HK escape me.As another reviewer said, the service is a little strange. Several people behind the counter seemed to just be standing around and not acknowledging the people who were waiting for their orders to be taken.The menu has some interesting things, but
As another reviewer said, the service is a little strange. Several people behind the counter seemed to just be standing around and not acknowledging the people who were waiting for their orders to be taken.The menu has some interesting things, but most of the sandwiches have at least something on them that I wouldn't really care for. For example, the turkey sandwich has some sort of blueberry spread. Why? I decided to go with the chili-lime chicken sandwich. Apparently you can order it with more fillings at an extra charge, and that's what I did.
I didn't really taste the lime, and I certainly didn't taste the chili, but the chicken was cooked well enough and tasty. Only the outside of the panini was hot-- the chicken was cold and one of the cheese slices was unmelted. This is probably the result of all the extra fillings; the panini press can't heat up all the insides before burning the outside. I will say that I liked the sandwich, and that apart from Fresh (formerly La Baguette) in LKF and Meli Melo in Sheung Wan, I can't think of a better place to grab a sandwich in HK. I plan on eating at the IFC location quasi-regularly, provided my future experiences resemble my past one. A-
Other Info. :
There was a stunning lack of people on a Monday at peak lunch time.
