It's been a while since I last wrote a restaurant review, but this one is definitely worth a post. Located on the High Street, Pete's place is an easy walk from Sai Ying Pun MTR station.
Dropping in for a weekend brunch, I was satisfied with the cosy meal of a range of food items they offered - from Western staples such as steaks and fries to Asian items like curries and noodles.
The 3-course set lunch (HK$148) featured some of the restaurant's signature items. We went for a rib-eye and lemongrass pork neck for the mains.
As soon as we finished ordering, our 3-year-old was served with a complimentary apple juice - he was elated. Appetizers:
I must say the tuna tartar was a must-order item. Cubes of raw tuna were topped with spring onion and sesame, served with olive oil and a piece of crispy bread baguette. They all complemented each other pretty well and I really enjoyed the dish.
The salmon carpaccio was fresh and thinly sliced. The sweetness of the fish was well balanced with some acidity which made the dish pretty refreshing.
Mains:
The grilled NZ ribeye was served with mashed potato and steamed veggies. In a generous portion (it was unexpected as there was no extra charge for this option on the lunch set menu), the medium rare steak was a bit charred on the outside while it's tender and succulent on the inside. The cut went well with the flavourful dipping sauce too.Although the mashed potato was not super creamy and fluffy, the texture was much to my liking.
The Thai Lemongrass pork neck was grilled perfectly that it was crispy and pleasing to the sense of taste. With the homemade chilli sauce that gave the meat added flavour without making it too spicy, the whole dish was so addictive!The larb rice was umami-packed despite being a tad too hot and soggy to my liking.
Desserts:There was a pretty good balance between tart and sweet in this blueberry cheesecake. Though it did not taste too sugary, the richness still made this dessert very decadent. As a crisp person myself, I would prefer a little more crunch in the crust, though.
Topped with vanilla ice cream, the chocolate brownie was fudgy and chocolatey. My son was particularly fond of the delectable ice cream! You know what? It was also homemade! What a delicate and perfect finish to the meal!
Environment and Service:
We were there on a Sunday and the place was calm and peaceful. The friendly staff was so helpful that even my 3-year-old was well taken care of. This cosy place was more than welcoming and we would definitely go back again.
