Sunday afternoon I was meeting an old friend in Wan Chai.We planned to visit a dumpling shop on Jeffe road but didn't expect its closure on Sunday=_="An awkward situation came when both of us automatically tapped the "openrice" icon on iphone in order to check our next stop!..

An awkward situation came when both of us automatically tapped the "openrice" icon on iphone in order to check our next stop!..
Antipasto ranked quite high with a high score so we turned our heads, decided to search for it.
Suprisingly it is situated right opposite to the dumpling shop =_="
(another awkward moment)
There were not many customers in the restaurant, but so on the street.
I found the little flowers on every white table soothing. It comes with a bottle of olive oil.
There are some framed pictures and wine bottles hanging on the wall.
I was facing the silent Jeffe road. Feel blessed that at this moment Hong Kong is NOT BUSY finally.
The waiter came to introduce us the 2 choices in lunchtime. $150/ person we can have ulimited supply of appetizers centred on the table.
I would love to eat the tomato with cheese and grilled salmon also but today I ate too much in breakfast
I chose a set $98 (choose tea/coffee OR dessert) while my friend chose the one with both ($108). Personally this price is really of bargain if it was rated to have 3.8.For appetizer you may choose between soup, salad or shrimp.
We both went for caeser salad. The appearance of this dish is not attractive.
But I am glad that it didn't come with thick sauce.
There are olive oil sprayed on the lettuce. Some cripsy breadcrumbs, and thin layers of quite salty cheese. I prefer the square-shaped bread more. They were served warm, adding a bit of content in this winter !
This is the favourite. For long I didn't come across with such a chessy and rich fettuccine!!It looks simple but tastes perfectly. I can clearly taste the cheese and cream in the creamy sauce. They wrapped every piece of pasta!! The mussels are extremely sweet and fresh
It seems that I am lucky to have this pasta of the day. If I really need to pick on the weakness of this dish it would be lack of ingredients in the pasta and not all of them are moisted.
My friend originally ordered roasted lamb but the kitchen reported that there is no more lamb. So beef is the substitute. There are potato mash, grilled carrots and veggies underneath. The steak is not very thick. About 70% cooked. I didn't think it tastes exceptionally well. So I wouldn't recommend the steak.
The $108 set serves a dessert which charms us a lot. It looks inviting! Vanilla icecream with warm chocolate sauce.
Underneath is the apple crumble. You will find the bite size soft apple mixed well with breadcrumbs. This combination happily ends our courses here.
From some minor areas you may notice this restauarnt is special because it serves tea/coffee with biscuits. It emits a slight lemon scent. Almond is visible and obviously the soul of the biscuit.
We were so delighted to have tried italian dishes in such a price. Today is such a lovely day! Hope you will encounter an astonishing pasta of the day too ^_^
