My best buddy just got promoted this week and we decided to go out and have a fun night in LKF just to celebrate (or so we said). Before all the booze started flowing, we had to get dinner taken care of in somewhere close by. I heard of Lily and Blooms once from a colleague of mine and it’s located right in the middle of LKF, so there it is. Once we walked into Lily and Blooms we were swiftly noticed and greeted warmly by the manager (thumbs up for service there), we did make a booking and were
My best buddy just got promoted this week and we decided to go out and have a fun night in LKF just to celebrate (or so we said). Before all the booze started flowing, we had to get dinner taken care of in somewhere close by. I heard of Lily and Blooms once from a colleague of mine and it’s located right in the middle of LKF, so there it is.
Once we walked into Lily and Blooms we were swiftly noticed and greeted warmly by the manager (thumbs up for service there), we did make a booking and were then led to our table. The environment was quite decent and decorated well. Lighting was just right, dim enough to chill and drink but not need-my-iphone-to-read-the-bloody-menu dim.
Had a look on the wine list, nothing really exciting and since we were going out for a drink later anyway, we didn’t order any wine.
And here it all begins, a homemade bread to start with. The outside was quite crispy with a moist and mushy texture inside. The olive oil that came with it was average and I have definitely tasted better balsamic vinegar. But not bad overall.

Here comes the entrée – Cedar River Beef Tartare, made with, of course, chopped raw beef, and with some mustard aioli, fresh capers, quail’s egg with crispy shallots on the side. It was served on a funny plate that's chilled to keep the food cold. The plating looks wonderful. The aioli went really well with the flavor of the beef. The sauce was done right. It wasn’t too sweet to mask the humble meaty taste of the raw beef but with a pinch of pepper to bring up the flavor.

I actually wanted to order the grain fed rib-eye at the first place, but my mate ordered it and curiosity got the better of me, so I went for this risky main. I called it risky because ordering a savory waffle/pancake kinda thing could too often end up in a drastic disaster. Once that delicate line is crossed, the dish turns from a delighting, refreshing main to a weird, disgusting mixture of leftover being put together. I almost regretted it after the moment I ordered it, but god thank you, the chief pulled it off well. There is nothing much to say about the fried chicken other than perfectly cooked, crispy skin with juicy and tender meat under. The flavor was quite interesting, it tasted kind of like rosemary grilled country chicken but with a twist, lack of vocab here and really hard for me to describe it accurately . The chicken and the waffle who were supposed to not like each other, was brought together well by the chipotle gravy. Good work Chief!
(4 stars/5 stars) There was a side that comes with my main – Grilled corn with mayo, it tasted great....it’s grilled corn with mayo after all, whatever you do you can't make it go wrong.
(3.5 stars/5 stars)Here comes the last dish of the night – Pear crepes with baked walnut and salted caramel ice-cream.
(5 stars/5 stars)The crepes were still hot and crispy on the edge when served and have a lot of pear puree in it. I am THE BIGGEST fan of crepes and I had had many of them from many different places before. The thickness, texture and the taste of crepes from Lily and blooms made it one of the best ones I have had. The pear puree in it was mind blowing, I was guessing that it was freshly made every time when the dish is ordered. They also used some of the best pears to make the crispy yet sweet pear slices. The salted-caramel ice-cream was delicious, it was really soft and melted quite quickly though (yea I know it’s ice-cream), but still, much of it were melted and ended up left on the dish before I can dip all my crepes on it.
As we were going for a drink later, we didn’t order any wine, just a grape cocktail the waitress recommended, it was alright.

题外话/补充资料：
You won't expect a meal in LKF is as cheap as in Mong Kok.
I would say, it worth. As you can see in the photos.
All in all, I am satisfy what I get from what I paid
