This was where our lunch club of four began: and what a wonderful beginning it was! You never know what you're going to get when you're trying a new restaurant, but thankfully this time it was nothing but wonderful. The setting: The new location of MESA15 is at a building in Lan Kwai Fong, on the bright and naturally-lit 6th floor. Your view isn't fantastic, but you get a generous view of the environs. When I came in it was not busy at all - only a couple of tables were occupied. That's shocking

The setting: The new location of MESA15 is at a building in Lan Kwai Fong, on the bright and naturally-lit 6th floor. Your view isn't fantastic, but you get a generous view of the environs.

When I came in it was not busy at all - only a couple of tables were occupied. That's shocking because usually lunch in the area is ridiculously crowded. I'm sure the business here will pick up though because the food is perfecto! And besides, why would I complain? You rarely get your own breathing space in HK and here it was like our own private luxury dining room...

Price: A steeper-than-usual price of HK$198 for the lunch set. But trust me, it's worth it!

Service: Very decent, respectful, friendly foreign servers. I think we had a latino.

And now to the food:

Complimentary: Green peas cream, crispy pancetta bites

Small but satisfying, good flavour and just enough to whet your apetite.

Indulgent, but a bit too rich.

I really appreciate how the flavouring of everything was so well-balanced.

For me this was the best dish. Like a paella, full flavoured and rich. Hot and heartwarming. The duck rice was replaced by pork belly when I went though, and it was still very good - a great combination of rice and meat, didn't feel like I was missing something.

This was the only mediocre dish of the meal. Our expectations were so high though because the description sounded so good. You're better off ordering the duck rice/risotto.

This dessert haunts me to this day. It was so good I can't forget about it. I would return JUST for this, because it was so damn good. The textures (crispy, smooth) mixed so well, the caramel was heavenly, and the pears so fresh. And the YOGURT. I could have eaten 3 of those in one sitting. DESSERT PERFECTION.

Would I/we come back? That would be a resounding YES!
