Despite this restaurant has been opened for some time and being the sister restaurant of another Michelin recommended restaurant, I never got to pass by there till recently when I was changing my HKID (at Leung King).

They only accepted cash here so my choices were slightly limited(I usually pay with credit cards/Octopus). I decided to try their Gorgonzola Risotto, Pear and their set dessert, which was their DIY Tiramisu.

Their bread included brioche and sourdough and it was off to a great start. They were really hot and soft and the server kindly reminded me to be careful. Their butter was also homemade and balsamic vinegar was in the butter itself, which was the first time that I have tried such a combination.

The risotto came and it smelled amazing. Just the right amount of Gorgonzola was used for its aroma without it being pungent as gorgonzola cane be quite strong. The sweetness of the pear also complemented well with the rich dish. The risotto itself was also al dente(my favorite).

Gorgonzola Risotto, Pear

I was watching the mascarpone cheese being whipped and all I can say is I better forget the scene as I don't want to think of the amount of fatness inside. Yet the dessert was amazing. You can adjust the amount of espresso and mascarpone cheese added. Their portion was also quite generous, you would likely have half a cup of espresso left for drinking. A cold black coffee was also included in this meal but I forgot to take a photo of it.
