alot of my favourite restaurant has disappointed me big time
luca is one of my favourite restaurants
and i always make a effort to go here with friends
fingers crossed, the food is still up to standard
we booked a table for 6 on a thursday at 7pm
it was a lovely evening, not too hot and a little breeze
along with the food we opened about 5 bottles of wine, from chianti, shiraz and something else, i have to admit, i thought the first choice was good which was recommended by the manager sam... chianti.
then we tried the shiraz, im not too keen on shiraz as it always had a bitter after taste, but besides being full bodied this one that was brought out to us was also smooth and very easy to drink
we ordered a selection of starters
nachos.... very nice, and cheesy, if you dont like cheese, then i wouldn't recommend this
grilled squid... this is a definately must order, if they have it in season... squid, chargrilled to perfection, as i cook alot i know you need skills to cook it so its tender and just cooked, sqeeze of lemon ...flavour is awesome .... p.s the tenticles are the best part!!!
creamed mushrooms...this is my favourite, i always order this when i go to luca, and it certainly hasn't disappointed me
jalapeno quesadilla, these was very nice, little kick, soft, and light highly recommend again
main course
ceasar salad... if you crave a salad, then this is what you need, well dressed leaves and generous on tha parmasan cheese
baby ribs, great flavour, not too soft and not too chewy just the right texture, you also get gloves to eat them with if you dont like to get your hands dirty, highly recommend
ox tail pasta.... the day before i had the best ox tail, so nothing was going to compare to that taste... ok, well luca's ox tail was cooked very nicely, however i couldn't help but compare the ox tail to the one i had the night before in macau
parma ham pizza... i seriously think they've improved their pizza base, if was more thinner and softer, the flavour was there...highly recommend
pork knuckle...the star of the restaurant...highly recommend, its served off the bone with mash, red cabbage and a sauce... i have feedback regarding this meal... more mash PLEASE!!! the skin reminds me of suckling pig, its certainly not a meal for those who's watchign their figure or diets...however if your one who loves food, then i definately recommend this
the evening itsaelf was very relaxed, we wasn't pushed to return our table, and we sat for 5 hours!! enjoying the food and drinking, and towards the end of the night we even got chatting to the staff more, and the head chef Alfred, who was on the hong kong programme came out and had his photo taken with us, we gave him a few feedbacks, which he took in
this meal was definately the highlight of my hogn kong trip this year
food bill for 6 $1500
