Around 5.30 today I wandered down my street and saw that Heirloom was having a soft opening.. their cake display has grown with a much better selection than before.. and at better prices! The staff seem pretty new and generally pretty nice. Seeing so many new options and feeling like I wanted lemon meringue I found a few things caught my attention..

Cinnamon Swirl Bun $25 - This looked irresistable and for only 25 I wasn't going to pass it up! The bun was soft and fluffy but still dense enough, there was good flavour of cinnamon and to my surprise walnuts added a good texture balance. There was even cream cheese frosting! All in all I was super happy with this and will be back for it often!

Lemon Slice $35 - The lemon slice was surprisingly good.. I'm a bit picky when it comes to lemon things, they can easily be too sweet or too tart, but this was just right. I also really liked that it didnt feel gritty but creamy and soft. My only complaint with it was that at times cracking the base was a little too difficult, but all in all very worth it
I don't see why it's not priced at 25 like the other smaller items though, but I'd happily pay the extra 10..

Hot Chocolate $35 - This was thoroughly dissapointing, not because it was a bad hot chocolate, I would be quite happy with it in other circumstances however I asked for it to be super chocolatey only to get home and find that it was a good centimetre or two away from even touching the top of the cup and only an average level of chocolateyness could be found.. Oh well, these are things that wouldn't be a problem if I'd eaten in, as no one would serve a mug that low when eating in.. ah the perils.. 

All in all it wasn't a bad visit, I could easily share the sweets between two or even three and they were of very high quality allowing me to be content with saving some for later and not being so sweet to make you sick. Perfect. If you haven't been since the new open there is also a new menu and a few other changes. 

Would I recommend it? So far yes, but I'd like to see how the new sandwhiches are.. I loved the old ones to death!

I have always wanted to try this place because they seem to serve the food I like.
Heirloom Eatery & More is located on Hollywood Road near these funeral services, hence the sightings of Chinese Hearses parked nearby.

Chinese Heare's are different to Western ones which are black and the Chinese ones are metallic blue.

Anyway, the restaurant environment is nice with the sun shining through, there is a bar table in the middle if you don't get a table seat.

This was a toasted baguette filled with black beans, avocado, sour cream, tomato and jalapeno chili served with Sweet potato fries.
Not many places serve sweet potato fries which is one of the reasons to dine here.
Sweet potato fries are a popular thing in North America.
I loved the baguette because it was crusty and yeasty packed with so many flavours from the creamy avocado, tangy tomato and sour cream and the kick from the jalapeno chilis.
The black beans were mashed which mixed well with the other ingredients.
Finally the sweet potato fries were interesting because they were savoury and sweet.

For people who claim charity expenses on their tax bill, they should check their receipts because there is a compulsory $1 that goes to Hagar International Charity.
To be honest it should be made visible.

According to the Hagar International Charity website it says:
Heirloom joins Hagar in recognizing the important role that the food & beverage industry plays in economically empowering Hagar’s clients through education, on-the-job training, and career progression opportunities.
At Heirloom, customers now have the option of adding HK$1 to their meal, which will directly benefit Hagar International.
I was NOT given AN OPTION nor was I informed when I paid!!

當日行到累累的所以經過此店時見沒甚麼人環境又頗舒適於是便入內坐下來, 而當看見那紅絲絨蛋糕便即時被那艷紅吸引著, 於是價錢也沒問便叫了一片來試* 主角 Red Velvet 上場了~

I wrote a really glowing review of this place a couple months ago, but openrice refused to publish it. I think I used a mildly bad word.

Anyway, the substance of that review was that on Fridays, Heirloom had amazing fried chicken. Thick, crispy, flavorful breading; juicy chicken; buttery jalapeno cornbread; buttery corn on the cob; and a free beer! I went so far as make it *the* place I went for fried chicken.

However, I'd like to report that it's totally not worth it any more. Instead of jalapeno cornbread (great) you got some dry potato salad with curry powder. Instead of corn on the cob, you got frozen veggies (corn, bell peppers, onions)-- the kind mom used to make when she stopped caring. And the chicken? Somehow it's transformed into the same fried chicken you get everywhere else-- dry and flavorless. Not terrible. But not something anyone would crave.

What's more, you can't even be sure of getting the chicken. We arrived at 7pm and they only had 4 orders of chicken left. The time before that when we came at 8pm they only had 1 order! This would be more disappointing if the chicken was any good.

We came here for the chicken. The five of us who ate it (only four orders, but I split one with my wife) were universally disappointed. This place is off my list. Anyone know of a good fried chicken joint?

看到這間店的評分,真的不得不為它來個大平反。假日和兩位友人相聚,本想到山上一些半開放式的cafe,可惜下起雨來,就選了這間室內的,而且友人聽說不錯,就不妨一試吧。Crispy French Toast這個真的超讚!!! 看上去似西多士,但吃下去才發覺它的與別不同:香脆的表層炸得金黃又剛剛好,不會太油或太老;裡面的麫包散發著牛油與蜂蜜交融的味道,濃香而不失清新,質感豐盈但又不會像西多士般油膩。再配上blueberry cream cheese 和 blueberries一起吃,那點酸剛好中和蜜糖的甜,亦為整個toast增添不少層次感。特別要提提它的蜜糖漿,真的很有香醇蜂蜜的味道呢!Fish and Chips個人本身不太喜歡吃煎炸食物,但友人點了這個就試試。薯條一般,魚柳就尚算新鮮,炸粉不會太厚,內裡魚塊幼嫩甜美,不錯。另外,挺喜歡用來盛載醬汁的小杯子 (尤其茄汁那個)~ ^^Salmon sandwich with salad (正名好像叫甚麼All things nice)Salad挺新鮮,醬汁是油與醋,很refreshing。 Sandwich裡面的Salmon 好香,配上香草別有

Salmon sandwich with salad (正名好像叫甚麼All things nice)
Salad挺新鮮,醬汁是油與醋,很refreshing。 Sandwich裡面的Salmon 好香,配上香草別有一番風味。多士表層烘得鬆脆,麫包質感不會好黏,我們輕易的就把三文治整齊的切開分享。

Overall食物質素不錯有誠意,服務亦不如之前的post那麼差,只是餐廳太忙時難免會被ignored… 最後提議大家離開前去洗手間參觀一下,裝修得很有style的啊!

题外话/补充资料: 午餐時間挺繁忙,樓下已滿坐,所以waitress就帶我們上二樓。二樓的佈置明顯比下層精美,有不同款式的梳化、餐桌和擺設,可是我們坐了一回那店員就說原來這裡需要book位的,下層剛有人離開所以我們就要坐下層了,聽罷覺得好可惜,沒有拍照就下去了。

French toast with blueberry cream cheese的賣相和我們想象之中完全不同,兩塊巨型多士上面放了紫藍色的藍莓芝士忌廉,看樣子好像很好吃。多士的外層沾了些杏仁碎和類似穀類早餐的麥 皮,半煎炸過的多士口感脆脆的,中間的部份其實像蛋糕多一點,因為不像麵飽般鬆軟,但味道很不錯,而且配上藍莓味濃的忌廉芝士,不太甜,反而甜味是來自預 先塗在多士面的maple syrup。

真慶幸吃到一個好吃的French toast,結果是日的心情又忽然間好吃來了。

I live down the street, and when Heirloom opened, I told ALL of my collegues and friends about this place. The decorations were great, the food was fantastic, and the service was not bad either. It quickly became my every day hangout.

I have since gotten to know some of the staff, (which coincidentally are all gone except for the rude manager) and to top it off, the last three times I have been its not been bad. It has been TERRIBLE.

All of the small details t hat made this place stand out, are gone. The dishcloth napkins have been replaced by what look like cheap sarongs you would buy at a touristic beach, the menus have been covered in plastic (they look like they belong in macdonalds) the mismatched flowers, beautiful cakes on the table, good music cool glasses for cocktails... They are all gone.They even changed the layout, and closed the entire front. This is what made heirloom special, people like to take their dogs, have a smoke and chit chat outside.

The carnita tacos which were my favorite, have become a greasy tasteless mess, although the fish ones are still alright. They replaced the other tacos, with some american ribs... (how is that a taco, especially as its obviously the leftover from the ribs they have on the menu as a main course?)

Anyways, I did some digging and I finally found out. One of the owners (the one who was always there, making sure the place was great and talking to us regularly, has left!!) I don't know what kind of mess they must have gotten into to leave something that clearly was a passion project, but like her.... I am gone, and will not be returning.

If the other owners get to read this, GET THE MEXICAN BACK. It is what made heirloom special to begin with, now its just a has-been restaurant; where the crowd went from very cool, to screaming kids and ugly people.

You really need to sort all this out, or you will fail very very soon. It really is very sad to watch, and I am sorry I am making such a public review, but hopefully it will be read,and things will improve. Sadly, I won't be there to witness if this ever does change.

One thing is for sure, I will be visiting the newly opened socialito for tacos instead!

Yours,

An EX ambassador for Heirloom.

My friends and I reserved a table well in advance to celebrate a friend's birthday, and the moment we got there it was fairly obvious the waitresses would have preferred to be doing something else other than serving customers.

We were seated at a corner where the aircon was blowing full blast into our faces, but a polite request to have the vent turned up only earned us stony looks. We figured it wasn't their day and decided not to make a fuss. And so about two or three women were serving us throughout dinner, holding the plates over our heads and expecting us to move the stuff in the tables round to make room for what they were carrying, with nary a please or thank you, and scowling faces. Again, we weren't paying attention to their mood so we let it go.

Until, finally, a friend of mine asked one of the servers who came to take some plates away to leave the fries on the table. She slams it back down, hisses "I KNOW!" at my friend and walks off. That was it for me, I complained to the other server and Ms Hissy Fit comes back, all huffy, along with another waitress spoiling for a fight who said "ACTUALLY SHE'S MY MANAGER!"

Really pissed off at this unprovoked boorish behavior, I told them I didn't want an argument and they should go away and not serve our table at all. Another of friend of ours was saying we should just review the resto on the web, at which point waitress 2 comes back and says, "review us everywhere you want, we're not afraid!"

I have never, in all my years in HK, come upon such rudeness, and such rudeness from a restaurant manager. I must stress we were not demanding customers but they seem to have singled us out for abuse because we were the only full table of non-white folks there. And by the way, they were fawning over all the other tables.

Everyone in that place should be fired. They're not in a Michelin starred restaurant, and the food's not even that good. I don't get where the attitude is coming from.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I will definetly try to go on a Tuesday, since they have taco tuesdays!


Also, one of the gimmick of this restaurant is that it has no 10% service fee. So you tip as you please.

Overall service was great though the servers were very tentative.

I love to explore different cafes or restaurants on sundays afternoon.

Today, my friend PP and I picked Heirloom.

We had Lemongrass & soda and several cups of tea, they are ok. The food are ok as well, we had grilled cheese sandwich & cinderalla salad. Only that a small little fly found in the salad, but I'm not gonna complain on that.

It is a 2-storey restaurant, I was sitting on the ground floor. The ground floor has one 8-seats bench, six 2-seats table & one 4-seats table.

We were originally sitting on the bench, but then we were expecting one more friend was coming in an hour. So we moved to a four seats table. One waitress came to tell us it's a four person table, and then another came and told us that the table is reserved. Ok, then we moved over to another 2 seats table.

15 mins later, I saw a couple moved over to that 4-seats table from their 2-table....and they had their meal and then they leave. No one bugs them.

Our friend is about time to come to meet us, so my friend PP and I moved to that 4-seats table again. And waitress came and repeated the same thing to us. It bother me so much that why the couple can sit there without being bugged? Is it all because the couple is driving a white maserati? huh? The couple didn't reserve that table, they are just walk in like us.

I totally don't understand the whole sitting arrangement. It's so NOT FRIENDLY!! The waitress are rude. This is it.

Definitely won't recommend to friends and I won't come again.

My coworker and I went to Heirloom last night for their taco Tuesday. We started with the pomegranate guacamole, and for the main course, each got the taco platter and a sandwich. The tacos were superb. Every one of them had bold, delicious flavors, nice textural components, and a perfectly chewy flour tortilla. What was even more impressive was that each taco tasted completely distinct from the others. Among the tacos we tried were a balinese fish taco, a BBQ pulled pork with slaw , a duck

What was even more impressive was that each taco tasted completely distinct from the others. Among the tacos we tried were a balinese fish taco, a BBQ pulled pork with slaw , a duck taco w/ sour cream, onions and cilantro, a shrimp taco w/ some sort of cream sauce, and a crab meat taco w/ a nice, tangy sauce. It was like taking a trip through several different countries and tasting a flavor combination unique to each country.

The sandwiches were also excellent. My steak banh mi was made with a perfectly crusty baguette, medium rare steak, some crunchy veggies, and a nice dressing that enhanced (as opposed to masking) the flavor of the steak. So good. My coworker got the salmon sandwich. He said he enjoyed it but would have preferred less of the mayo based dressing and maybe a higher salmon to bread ratio. The sweet potato fries that came with our sandwiches are some of the best I've ever had - light crunchy exterior, smooth, soft interior.

The cocktails were just okay. Tamarind margaritas were well made, though I prefer slightly less sweet, and a bit stiffer. The other cocktails we ordered were on the weaker side too, and did not taste quite right. I would say whomever is making drinks would benefit from a bartending class or two.

Atmosphere is casual, festive and intimate. Great place to order up a bunch of dishes and share w/ a table of friends. I'll definitely be coming back!

! The Balinese Chopped Salad is one example of its confusion-Asian Flavours together with european ingredients?? Sorry but the combination of lemongrass & lime with avocado and sambal just didn't work! My friend tried the minuscule portioned tacos and well they just didn't rate. Please make portions at least a little more realistic for diners. Service was ok but not remarkable. Will I go back and try again? - perhaps in several months after some of the teething problems and perhaps uptake on Heirlooms part to make alterations to its menu.
Great potential to make some adjustments and pick up the pace.

Time after time I have read that Heirloom finally filled the need in Hong Kong for a true taco.
So, I ordered the tacos for $120 for 4. Guess what? The tacos are tiny- about the size of a man's watch face. Maybe 3 cm diameter and open faced with strange toppings. Awful and outrageously over priced.
Having eaten those and still starving I ordered a salad which turned out to be purple cabbage with a vinegar dressing... not good at all.
For this much money I could have gone to a decent eatery for a high quality set lunch.
The wait staff is untrained and inattentive especially for diners upstairs.
There were several young mothers with little girls having tea and desserts and maybe that is the niche for Heirloom.
Certainly not a decent lunch.
PLEASE: professional reviewers do your readers a favor and actually go eat at the restaurant you review. And don't just write something positive because you like the publicist or the owner of the place.

The rest of us: beware of what you read in many publications.
