Well well, its another Central lunch with my mates
As we're all poor people (at the moment), we couldn't afford to have lunch in places like MO, Four Seasons ... etc., and today we came to Stanley 11 for lunch. Since we were running out of time, we rushed straight into the lifts. My friend suggested Japanese food, fed up with the meals we had, we quickly closed the doors of the lift and moved on to the second floor.
What we see The environment was pleasing and modern, with a bit of retro black n white style (honestly I don't quite like black n white)
The restaurant was quite packed during lunch hour (okay thats pretty normal?)
We waited for a couple of minutes at the entrance and we were brought to our table, we thought the service was fine
Since we had a look at the menu during our wait, we quickly ordered our lunch.
What we order The lunch menu offers a variety of food (ofcourse not as broad as the you would expect on a "HK style Cha Chan Teng") Just a general idea of what they serve: steak, pasta, risotto, pizza, the normal kind of food you would expect to be on a western menu. As you would see, they serve risotto, I'm not entirely sure whether you would categorise that as Australian/American cuisine (as you would note in the info box on Openrice).
The gentleman who took our orders was very tall and handsome, you don't expect to see such man in a restaurant, brilliant (the "Gentleman"). The Gentleman clearly has good memory, we spelled out our orders and food, soup, etc so quickly that even I can't remember what exactly I have ordered but he delivered the food without a single mistake. well done mate!
For the Apps, we were given the choice of a salad or soup of the day, and ofcourse we asked what the soup and salad is. The Gentleman responded the soup of the day being seafood soup (he didn't specify what seafood soup, and if im not wrong, lobster bisque and a clam chowder tastes a bit different) and salad......... (and this is a direct quote from the gentleman) "is just some salad" he said, as well as laughed.
I'm sorry but it appears to me the Gentleman simply didn't know/care about their own menu.
Warm bread was served with salted butter, I would say, fair.
Yet no plates were given for our bread, leaving bread crumbs on the table, perhaps this is their style? I saw them sweeping bread crumbs off each table after diners left, what is the point... but who cares when the bread was nice and warm!
Soup arrived and before we were being served, we were told the "seafood soup" had been sold out, and the waiter offered an alternative, we were left with little (if any) choice and a cream vegetable soup was then placed in front of us.
As usual, my mate chucked her leftover bread next to my soup for photo, I have absolutely no idea why she kept doing that, it doesn't help much with writing a perfect food review does it? So, dear respectful Editor, please ignore this photo.
The vegetable soup tastes milky and creamy but slightly watery. I can taste broccoli in the soup, i mean the taste was alright, but it would be better if it isn't that diluted.
My learned friend did complain about the lack of correct cutleries, she asked if that was for the soup. We paused, then nodded and continued with our meal.
What about the entrees?
Three of us ordered the following:
1. Lasagne 2. Salmon fettucini in cream sauce 3. Mussels and scallop with pumpkin risotto
Risotto was perfectly cooked, the pumpkin sauce was not too sweet but just right, the sweetness brings out the freshness of the scallops, it was brilliant. However, not so brilliant were the mussels, I can see they were seasoned with pepper and spices but not evenly, resulting in two out of the three tasted a bit fishy, what a pity. Although cherry tomatoes doesn't really match with the dish, I liked it.
Risotto normally doesn't come in a big portion, but look at the picture..! I was very full after the lunch!
Tea and coffee followed, we ordered iced lemon tea and syrup served separately
What we think
I mean, honestly, I think its a fair lunch, the food certainly meet the standards but there are rooms for improvement. The atmosphere was friendly.
題外話/補充資料:
During check out, it took them a while (10 minutes) for the credit card to come back.
No explanation was given by the waiter, we walked out straight to the entrance (where the cashier was) to wait, since it was taking so long and we were in a hurry. Eventually they told us the credit card got mixed up and someone took my mate's card. Clearly this was untrue was he was holding the card in question.
Then they said in fact it was the bill that was mixed up and he showed us a voided credit card receipt with someone else's signature on it. It took them another 5 minutes to tell us the story. The manager did apologise, but we were not so impressed by the carelessness of their staff.
I'd really love to give it a :) but after the incident, maybe just an "OK".
