Most of the seats are outdoor, but fortunately it was not too hot. With fans surrounding your table, it is quite a cozy place to enjoy your dinner. The feeling to waiters with tattoos on their arms is funny, and you do not know what to expect in a Hong Kong Style Italian restaurant.The first dish to arrive was the lobster bisque. It was supposed to look good. Unfortunately, the waitress was not careful enough while bringing the dish in, and it ended up with quite a messy look. The base of the so

The second dish was pan seared Foie gras with caramel based cream sauze and apples. Plating was not appetizing, but the sweetness of the caramel sauze worked surprisingly well with the pan seared foie gras. The crisp of the foie gras was well executed and it was a good dish.
The third dish was a tomato sauce seafood stuffed ravioli. The dish looks good, and the tomato sauce was nice with a well balanced acidity and saltiness. The ravioli was unfortunately just undercooked at the periphery. The seafood stuffed inside the ravioli was soso, a bit more of seasoning would have made it much better. Overall, it was an okay dish but the undercooked pasta made it disappointing.
The fourth dish was a grilled spring chicken stuffed with black truffle risotto. The presentation was excellent. The grill was nicely done with a crispy skin on the outside. Once you cut the spring chicken open, the smell of the black truffle came out immediately and lifted up your expectation. The risotto stuffed inside the spring chicken was also nicely done, not too rich but it worked harmoniously well with the spring chicken when you eat them together. It was a difficult dish to cook, but it was in good hands.
At first, I did not want to order any desserts from a Hong Kong style Italian restaurant. Finally, after seeing their dessert menu, I decided to try them out. Panna cotta looked okay, but the plating was certainly not the best. The texture of the panna cotta was rather thick and chewy, but the flavour was alright. The molten chocolate cake barely held together, but it tasted unexpectedly good. The molten chocolate was nicely done with a very rich choco flavour. Afterall, it was quite an interesting dining experience. Here you would not expect someone to serve you like a classy western restaurant. Waiters were very polite but they were just not trained to serve like that. Some dishes were nicely cooked, but some lacked a bit seasoning, and plating/ presentation certainly need some improvements.
