Walking along the harbour side (Soho East) in Sai Wan Ho, this tiny restaurant had caught our eye- with a large window, simple yet modern interior design and some artistic display. This odd combination has brought us in and turned out to be a very impressive lunch.When we entered the restaurant, we were both surprised to see an art studio next to the dining room. We were told Gitone offered regular painting and ceramics lessons in the studio !Not sure if the chef is an artist himself too but so
When we entered the restaurant, we were both surprised to see an art studio next to the dining room. We were told Gitone offered regular painting and ceramics lessons in the studio !Not sure if the chef is an artist himself too but some of their dishes are very creative. Both of us ordered their vegetable rice set (sounds healthier):
Steamed Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce & French Foie Gras 法國鵝肝豉汁蒸排骨菜飯($108)
Could never imagine Chinese steamed pork ribs and black bean sauce cooked together with Foie Gras, but it turned out to be pretty delicious!
Stir-fried egg with preserved egg, salted egg, black truffle & shrimp 松露三色蝦仁炒蛋菜飯($108)
While scrambled eggs with Black Truffles is quite common in the west, I wouldn't have thought of combining it with another Chinese dish (Stir-Fried Shrimps with Eggs). They are surprisingly matched and tasty.
Gitone is a really great restaurant to chill for the whole afternoon, enjoy a satisfying homemade fusion food, and to be surrounded by artsy displays. Will definitely re-visit to try other dishes on their menu! ;)
