Castelo Concepts appears to have developed an expertise in running restaurants that take after their successful brands, so much that it seems to be expanding like a chain under the guise of different names. Sure, each time Castelo would modify a little bit of this and that, but the recipe is more or less the same old—perceived classic fare with an international twist, add a regional inspiration occasionally as a central theme and put together a multicultural serving team, all running in strategic locations with maximum exposure to expats and locals who are likely to be inclined to such cuisine. This is naturally not an issue, as many of these places are run with solid food and drink offerings and accommodating staff. But what I had hoped to see was some kind of a substantive change that would bring us a refreshing and new dining experience. Easier said than done, I suppose.

Anyhow, Mr Wolf offers a British brunch buffet on Sundays which is probably interesting for some (though I could spot at least half of the dining room ordering à la carte on my visit). In general the space is bright and airy and has an invigorating vibe to it, making it a particularly family friendly place. Servers are attentive and friendly. Brunch menu offers, well, brunch items that you’d expect to see anywhere with Anglo influence (since brunch is very much an Anglo-Saxon thing in any case) while à la carte lunch and dinner items are fairly standard Western/Hong Kong. Food we had was good for the price we paid (mid range). I still do not know why this place has been named so, however. The only thing it reminded me of was Wolf Month, what the Anglo-Saxons used to name January, for wolves were known to come out of forests in search of food in the villages then. Could Mr Wolf be a symbol for wolfish winter hunger? There may be no particular reason for the name. I guess I will never find out.

 Egyptian Eggs, $140
This was a duo of poached eggs with “turkish" bread, beetroot purée, avocado, rocket and pistachio. Interesting that they should offer pide, a warm doughy bread that was a nice departure from the usual. Pistachio crumbles were generously sprinkled all over. Other than that, everything was standard. Nothing spectacular.

8oz Steak and Eggs, $185 +$25
Minute steak grilled along two sunny side-ups. Added grilled tomatoes. Standard quality. Good for the price. Nothing to complain about.
