I know it's been in the neighbourhood for some time but never got the interest to try - the first impression was so badly ruined by the laughably pretentious Euro menu; which really makes me curious - is it really legally okay to set a menu in euros while it doesn't accept euros? Wish the owner of the restaurant knew it doesn't make the restaurant more fancy looking; it just makes it look stupid.We gave it a try anyhow. Won't complain about the ambiance - to be fair it's really quite welll-desi
We gave it a try anyhow. Won't complain about the ambiance - to be fair it's really quite welll-designed. Comfortable seats and the backyard looks a cosy. But it has got a strange smell all around; not sure if it's from the rest room or the kitchen.
The fancy euro menu offers a range of pastas, salads and quite a range of coffee - HK-style though judging from such choices like Caramel Latte, Banana Latte etc. I gave the 'House Coffee' a try and the bitterness didn't quite go off. Served with warm milk though.
The dishes - there are two vegetarian-friendly pastas with - as you might have guessed - mushroom. But I decided to have another 'Spaghetti with pancetta, asparagus and chili olive oil' a try, with pancetta taken out. My friend had a pizza.
So for the pizza - it's quite proportionate for one person. Crispy base, but my friend reckoned the anchovies were too few, so it's not salty enough. My pasta - the portion is quite small - that kind of large bowl with only a small pot in the middle. I am really curious about the spaghetti - which was supposed to be homemade. It is so homemade-esque that it looks more like Chinese oily noodles to me than spaghetti, though its apparently al dente texture. We asked the waitress what kind of spaghetti it is - because forgive me I really had never tried spaghetti like this before - and the answer: pancetta. (You know pancetta is a kind of ham right?)
The good things are - I really think the staff are friendly and helpful; and the space is somewhere I would really want to go back again and again. Whilst the cooking and the pretentious EURO menu aren't really appealing; which I reckon is the problem with management. So... lets see if it survives the head-to-head competition in Tai Hang.
題外話/補充資料：
No lunch set. And that you have to do the calculation at the back of your head when you skim through every euro-priced item is really annoying.
