Walked past this newly opened cosy looking restaurant after yoga earlier this week and found their lunch menu looking good, so I decided to give it a try today... I arrived at 12:30 and was warmly welcomed by the bar tender who asked if I'd like a table upstairs. Feeling curious, I gladly took his advice.This was my first visit (and I had never been to the Bar here, "Tipping Point", before). Love the minimalist decor in white and Scandinavian blue.The menu's the same as the one I saw when I walk
This was my first visit (and I had never been to the Bar here, "Tipping Point", before). Love the minimalist decor in white and Scandinavian blue.
The menu's the same as the one I saw when I walked past on Tuesday --- a selection of pasta (from the classic Carbonara, the vegetarian option Tomato basil cherry to the meat lover's no-brainer Sausage and beef ragu), Risotto ai fungi porcini and pan-fried Salmon & pesto veggies. A two-course lunch with drinks included from HK$88 - 110.
My friend went for the Soup and I had the Salad.
He liked the Cauliflower Soup packed with "grains" of cauliflower, which wasn't overly creamy. It was light enough to be enjoyed on a super hot day like this.

The "all fera" Salad --- a bed of mixed salad topped with grilled zucchini, grilled eggplants, shaved cheese, chia seeds, in pommery honey dressing.
A decent portion for the price of this lunch deal, sprinkled with chia seeds to give them the extra crunchiness, in an apt amount of dressing (hmmm but where's the cheese...?). Pretty fresh Romaine, not the freshest rocket, but I'm happy with this considering the price and location.

The pan-fried Salmon was cooked and seasoned on point. Juicy and not overly oily. Pesto was quite nice and not overpowering.

Generous portion for a HK$110 two course lunch in Central / Soho.
Only wishing the broccoli could be lightly seasoned as well. There was a bit of an imbalance compared to the salmon and baby potatoes (which were "shining in oil") --- the broccoli was boiled and unseasoned. As a health conscious foodie I always cook my veggie pretty plainly, but this tasted a bit too plain even for me. I'd say they could be easily touched up by a toss of extra-virgin olive oil.
My friend enjoyed his pasta and said he'd be back!
And of course, an iced-lemon tea for a melting hot day like this.
All in all, this was one great lunch deal in the heart of Central/Soho. I look forward to trying a new lunch menu at Fera next time (and hope coffee will be served at my next visit after this soft opening!)
p.s. No service charge for lunch but we tipped according to service. Wishing you guys a smooth soft opening --- Keep it up!
