Garlic infused Fried Chicken Wings- These babies were good. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with the perfect amount of garlic and sweet delicious honey. Nicely crunchy on the outside but with a perfect juicy bite inside.
What could these raw vegetable sticks be for? Looks...unappealing. But, looks can be deceiving...that sweet corn, was perhaps the most sweet and delicious corn I've ever tasted.
This is what the raw vegetables are there for. The dip is this heavy on the oil and salt...It's a salty, oily anchovy dip....in all its delicious but dangerous glory. BEWARE: Use with caution! This dip defeats the vegetable sticks purpose.
PASTA. Carb heaven. Japanese + Italian = Foodie Heaven. Tagliatelle Alla Carbonara $180, a pasta made with Japanese egg and thick cuts of fatty bacon. Probably my fave of the night...its creamy, rich, thick, cheesy, and the perfect mix of hot, flavour, and fat! I really liked this...or maybe because I just really like pasta.
The arista di maiale, roasted organic pork $280, is smothered with a white creamy cheese sauce and then served alongside Chinese flat white kidney beans and thin crunchy sweet corn sticks. Its not too rave-worthy. The pork is a nice cut, but the taste is completely awash by the heavy cream sauce. This tiny bistro is cute....and perhaps improved a lot since I went (during their soft opening phase) but its definitely not for the diet friendly.
Quite a few restaurants have entered Hong Kong's dining scene this summer; renowned chefs from the world and smaller scale bistros are setting foot on this metropolitan city. Making an effort to stay away from the crowd for a night, I discovered this rather new trattoria in Central/ Sheung Wan. I could not manage to get a table on the first attempt, but succeeded finally to call in early to reserve a place for me and my friend on a Monday night.

Quite a few restaurants have entered Hong Kong's dining scene this summer; renowned chefs from the world and smaller scale bistros are setting foot on this metropolitan city. Making an effort to stay away from the crowd for a night, I discovered this rather new trattoria in Central/ Sheung Wan. I could not manage to get a table on the first attempt, but succeeded finally to call in early to reserve a place for me and my friend on a Monday night. The restaurant only housed a dozen seats, but I loved the interior design that there were mirrors on the wall and windows at the kitchen to make it seem more spacious. Dishes on the menu were of Italian cuisine, infused with Japanse sourced ingredients and cooking style.
As soon as we had placed our orders, we were served with the hot bread basket. Would be better if the olive oil came with balsamic or we could simply have butter.
We had an appetizer to begin with, Oven Roasted Eggplants with Mozarella.I am a huge of mozarella and tomatoes, but I did not realize until this meal that it actually went well with eggplants too! The oven baked hot melting mozarella and eggplants were all infused together, each complimenting the other. The eggplants were quite good to my surprise that they were not in the usual cooked Chinese form, which was oily and sloppy. I felt like having a Magherita except there was no dough beneath. Loved this dish.
'Taraba' Red King Crab, & Sea Urchin, Butter Sauce, Bucatini was a distinct hybrid of Italian pasta with a Japanese influence. We loved the Japanese King Crab for its sweet and thick meat and succulent texture. Bucatini was al dente and the butter sauce sprinkled one final magic trick to make it a very scrumptious dish!
As for main, we had Sauteed French Duck with Truffle. Loved the duck which was tender while the outer edge remained its crisp. Though it seemed the truffle had not succeeded in enhancing the flavor and aroma of the dish.
We were glad the portion was not too heavy that we still managed to fit in one dessert for the night's wrap up.We choseHomemade Panna Cotta (with black sugar from Okinawa)and indeed it was a great choice. The rich milk and cream made a perfect blend with condensed black sugar.
They have performed a nice interpretation of Italian cuisine, complementing the food with 'gems' with Japan. Though there was not a big variety on the menu, I hoped regular changes or new inventions would be seen on the menu. Looked forward to visiting again, to enjoying a quiet night in the city with good food.
下雨天,好不容易才走到這店。一扇大金屬門,很重啊!店面的裝修十分雅緻。只有幾張枱,廚房有一扇窗,可看見大廚在裏面準備食物。先來一紅一白的sangria... 甜甜的帶有些酒香。order 了芝士八爪魚,很香,連另一張枱的食客也被香味所吸引,隨即order 了一客。接著是帶子蟹腳扁意粉。意粉軟硬適中,帶子很鮮甜!跟著是雞肉卷。雞肉弄得很軟滑,加入了意大利蕃茄,酸酸的,賣相十分精緻。味道好加上視覺享受,令人有很好的印象。Last but not least, home made 焦糖燉蛋, so sweet.Overall, 食材質優,味道很好,環境舒適,只是每張枱靠得太近,加上旁邊的幾位談得太開心,破壞了一些閒逸的氣氛。

六月下旬‧有雨在香港賣東洋風意大利菜的地方不多,這間開業不久的小店子水準很不錯。看店名「Trattoria」就知道這是供應意大利菜的小酒館,而一邊的酒櫃也放滿紅、白酒。估計店名的「Queen」及「Hollywood」是因為這是位於皇后街及荷李活道交界的原因吧,這純屬個人推測。試了幾味,包括Polpo con Moaionese all'Aglio,Spaghetti al Nero si Seppia及Pollo Arrosto,賣相佳而味道好。甜品就只是區區兩款,雖然本人不太熱衷於甜味,不過日本廚做得甜點也有興趣一試,就選了當中的黑糖奶凍。賣相簡簡單單也不修邊幅,看樣子還有不少小泡沫在面的。口感是比想像中滑,而用上的是來自沖繩的黑糖,奶香味濃再加上味道香甜,是不錯的。會再來。
