Me and a friend went there for dinner to celebrate my friend's birthday since we both love western food.The environment was nice. Not squishy and comfortable. The staffs are really nice.
We ordered quite a lot for just the 2 of us.
For appetizers, we had fresh oysters, crab cake and the foie gras toast.
The fresh oysters....sorry, but I can't remember which type they were, but they tasted great! Very fresh! Loved them.
The crab cakes were great! They had a lot of crab meat in it. Unlike many other restaurants that would try to cut the cost and add many filler into the crab cake instead.
Then it's the foie gras toast. I am not a big fan of foie gras. Too rich for me. But according to the birthday guy who loves foie gras, he says it's good.
For the main courses, we had mac and cheese with truffle and the rib eye steak.
I have got to say OMG! The mac and cheese was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! It's very cheesey and creamy! They added some herbs in it. I think it's a must have at New Room. I wanna have it right now just thinking about it now. It's hard to find a mac and cheese that creaming in HK as restaurants all try to cut down their cost by compromising on their ingredients. However, News Room is totally none of that! It was loaded with cream and cheese!
The rib eye steak was good too. But it has a bit too much seasoning. Too salty. Not what I like, but I am sure there are others who would like it.
For dessert, we had creme brulee. It has got to be the creamiest creme brulee I have ever tasted! Love it! Just one bite and I knew it's enough to give me a heart attack if I were 80 years old hahaha. I could feel the fatty cream gliding down my esophagus. OMG! Loved it again!
The bill came to about $1000 for the 2 of us. However, comparing the price and the quality of the food the serve, I think it totally worths it.
The overall experience at News Room was great great great! I never expected to find such fine western dining in Hong Kong. I wish I can dine there every single nigth!
