Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home"
My friend is always a night lover and familiar with a lots of decent restaurants, espcially in the heart of Hong Kong. And Lily & Bloom, a long-awaited place she longed for, got something extraordinary that we would never forget.
Luckily we made the reservations early on, by the time we arrived, the tables were almost full as well as a sheer number of people came here to get a drink. Having a glance at the fine decoration and the detail description of the dishes on the menu, I am much sure with the quality of this dinner.
The first thing we had of the night were 2 well-mixed cocktails, which were Maria Clara (in glass) and Three Grapes And A Cup respectively. The waitress recommended the Maria Clara for the ladies as it tastes more mild and sweet while Three Grapes And A Cup have a relatively stronger flavour. If you like ginger and hennessy flavour, this is the one you cannot miss!
The homemade bread was soft and warm when the waitress served it. You could tell it was not just reheated by microwave but really delicate. It tastes especially luscious when i came with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil altogther.
The Caesar salad was one of the best ever tried. Perfectly cooked spa egg gives an extra credit to the whole salad make you cannot stop eating! And the crunchiness of the focaccia was just about right! Purely stunning!
Another starter was Cedar River Beef Tartare. It raw beef is served with mustard aioli, fresh herbs and capers, and smoky red pepper sauce . As a beef lover, I literally cannot resist the tempatation in tasting different kind of beef, and this one is no exception. The tenderness of beef and wonderful taste of the mustard aioli were the highlights of the dish. They were bound to be a perfect couple!!With the exceptional quality of the cocktails and starters, we could expect the main courses would be even better!
Excuse me for mentioning it once again, I am literally a massive beef lover, so with no second thought, I chose this medium rare rib-eye for my main course. The steak was perfectly grilled which was absolutely juicy and tender. With the delicate house daikon sauce, it was an easy task for me to finish the 10 oz steak all on my own!!
While my friend chose this grilled fish which cooked quite in a familiar Chinese style. The sauce was savory green onion which was a perfect combination with the fish while the fish was deboned. It just made one easier to enjoy the delicate texture of the fish.
For the Mac N' Cheese, the creamy and condensed but not salty cheese definitely catch our attention. It was great to have such perfectly melted cheese combined with macaroni. Out of our expectation , it doesn't make us feel heavy at all.
If you feel that this meal came along with too many meat, this Sauteed Veggies surely can make you feel healthier. Beautiful green colour as well as other vegetables can your best offer to balance and welcome the great desserts.
With salted caramel ice cream, banana sorbet and chocolate cookies crumble as the base, I bet no one can resist the temptation of this Ultimate Ice Cream Sundae. Of course, the dessert tastes sweet, but surely you won't make you feel heavy. I especially like the caramel crunches, the textures paired with the ice cream so well!
The presentation of Yellow Peach Crepes was so attractive and overall combination was amazing. The exciting flavors of cointreau spiked peach and the smooth mascarpone filling just make you want this dish never finished. The salted caramel ice cream also tasted much better than other restaurants."And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die"
Truly this was a very enjoyable night, the dishes were perfect. The waiters and waitresses were all very nice and patiently and professionally introduced the dishes on the menu. Just could not ask for more!
