I made some homemade strawberry jam when I was in the US and brought them back to HK with me. I wanted to give a couple of jars to my godparents, so I decided to meet up with godbro XO to deliver the goodies. He said that it's been stressful at work, so he wanted to grab a few drinks after work. I was in Lan Kwai Fong the previous night, and while walking around, I saw that Glow Oyster Bar & Grill had a promotion posted up front where you get a free glass of wine when you get 6 oysters. XO a
XO and I both like oysters, and he can drink the wine, so I told him to meet up with me in LKF!
Glow is on a side street away from the center of Lan Kwai Fong, so it's not in the middle of the bar crowd. Their menu is readily available for view in front of the restaurant. From the store front, you can see Glow actually stands for: Grill, Lounge, Ocean, and Wine.
Grill: the restaurant serves Korean beef, but XO and I decided to stick with the three other letters of Glow for the night.
Lounge: the seating in Glow is sort of a lounge style, where there's cushioned-sofa style seating along the wall.
Ocean: the seafood bar is along the backside of the restaurant, where you can check out the shellfish up close!
The server actually showed us how to identify the gillardeau oyster, where the letter G is stamped on the shell!
Wine: on another side of the restaurant is the bar area.
After getting seated, I ordered a cocktail, while XO took advantage of the oyster promotion. Since the oysters only came with one glass of wine, XO ordered another bottle of bubbles as well.
There was a "say no to straws" sign on the table, so my cocktail didn't come with a straw either!

Out of the oyster options, I decided to order by location, so we ordered 2 each of Pacific, Scottish Rock, and Roumegous.
We also decided to order a couple of tapas and a pasta.

They were served with various condiments, but the oysters were so fresh that the condiments were not necessary!

The avocado and shrimp mixture was seasoned brightly with a citrus burst. It was like a chopped up ceviche served on crunchy chips, and the avocado pieces were ripe but not overly mushy!

French Fries w/White Truffle Mayo ($88): The French fries had a perfectly crispy crust, and it was sprinkled with a salty herb seasoning.
The white truffle mayo had a strong earthy truffle flavor and added a level of indulgence to the ordinary French fry!

The pappardelle was perfectly al dente, and each noodle was coated in luscious, velvety, creamy tomato sauce!

If it wasn't for the eye-catching promotional signs in front of Glow Oyster Bar & Grill, I would have definitely missed out on some of the freshest oysters, delicious tapas, and the most amazing scallops pasta! I can't wait to go back to Glow and sink my teeth into the terrific food again!
