Last week we went to Loft Kitchen to celebrate our colleauge's birthday lunch. In fairness, it's quite hard to find the restaurant as its located at a secert location inside an old factory building. Unless you go there on purpose, it quite difficult for someone to walk in for a lunch. As expected, all tables are reserved for booking only, and it's always fully book! I have to book a table few days in advance! I was wondering why a restaurant with such a secert location can be that popular, howev

I have to book a table few days in advance!
I was wondering why a restaurant with such a secert location can be that popular, however the quality of food and servicing gave me the reason...
Loft Kitchen is promoting western fushion food, there's only a few set lunches available, but even take a look at the today's lunch menu makes me to imagine it will taste delicious especially the main courses.
The appetizer are either tomato soup or fresh salad... I wasn't best please why can I have both both the salad is nice, despite a fair small potion. The tomato soup actually taste very good, lots of tomato puree and most importantly, not too thick.
The moment of the meal - the main course - majority of us went for Spring Chicken provencal with fried potato ($88). A big nicely balanced roasted chicken with bread crumbs spread on top, serve with gravy and fried potato and a little bit of veg. Even looking at the dish can sense it taste awesome, and it did! The chicken legs are juicy and nicely roasted, comes with gravy makes it perfect. The roasted chicken legs is so big that most ladies are struggle to finish it off!Slow cooked pork loin with mushroom sauce ($86) is another English alike dishes, I suddenly feel like being back to England!
But myself went for a tomato beef risotto, I'm a huge fan of risotto and this dish appeals to me. It's a beautiful but funny dish at first glance - a small potion of risotto serve with a bowl that looks like it can have a capacity 3 times more than current amount of risotto - nevertheless, the risotto is nicely cooked, but maybe too watery, however the balance of getting this right for a risotto dish is difficult, therefore it's an extremely good effort, still there's room for improvment, as in Italy or Spain the chefs classified this as basic
The what matter most is the taste - very good - I also like the diced beef very much, not to chewy, nicely cooked.
The open kitchen offers us a view of the busy kitchen and also provides a bar table for alternative seatings, as well as there are seating outdoors as well.The prices are typically expensive compare to other Kwun Tong restaurants, but the theory - the more you pay, the better you'll get - it true regarding to Loft Kitchen. So it's expensive, but well worth it!
In conclusion, this is a good dining experience, I enjoy it very much, definitely will come again sometime.
题外话/补充资料：
Book tables well in advance, Loft Kitchen is so popular and it's always fully book. I reckon walk-in is almost impossible....
