Gave my first Jamie’s to HK. There is one in Birmingham but never had the chance to try.Reason why I enjoy watching Jamie Oliver’s programme: down to earth, practicable, always a huge dish to share with others.Cooking is about sharing. Share of amazing food God has given us. Share of joy and love.Food by head chefs in hotel. Well..yes..they are exquisite. Yet, their pea-size portion cannot possibly feed one’s stomach (at least not mine)The opening of restaurant in his name in HK is long-awaited.

Cooking is about sharing. Share of amazing food God has given us. Share of joy and love.

The opening of restaurant in his name in HK is long-awaited.
We are not surprised that we have to wait. What leaves us a good first impression is that they are able to tell you the exact time to return for your table. For us, 1.5 hours. We took a nice little walk around Causeway Bay. Table is assigned to us as said 1.5 hours later.
We are led to the lovely bar area to wait for a while longer. Menus are offered.
Decoration is warm and cozy. Mainly in wood. And of course, in HK style (HK was once a fishing port, I believe they applied that concept to their internal design)
Food was served a little slow. Understandable, with that amount of customers.
First to serve: Crab & Avocado Bruschetta
Presentation is nothing to be worried about.
Taste of mint is too overwhelming. Crab is okay (there was apple in it? not too sure). Not a remarkable dish (because I already forgot the taste of it at the end of the meal, which is definitely not my usual practice towards a yum one)
However, their service makes up for the loss in taste. They provide us a larger knife and explain what it is for (the sourdough could be a bit hard to cut into parts)
I enjoyed the Pumpkin Panzerotti very much! First off with hint of sweetness (pumpkin).
Creaminess by rosemary butter. The most interesting part: Amaretti! (almond flavoured cookies)
Cookies in pasta? You never know. It has done a great job in adding crunchiness to the dish.
You can see creativity of Jamie.
We both had some snacks before Jamie, so we did not order much.
Finish off with a dessert! Lemon pie is a bit too sweet. But still, it did not fail giving the zesty flavour.
I d say..wouldn’t hurt to try!
