Under the occasion of the HK Restaurant Week 2011, it gives us a chance to dine in a quality restaurant with a special 3-course menu and an amazing price.Orange Tree, I heard it’s the only Dutch Restaurant in HK (there’re several restaurants claimed that they’re ‘Dutch’ restaurants but indeed not traditionally running by Dutch owners, except this one).

Orange Tree, I heard it’s the only Dutch Restaurant in HK (there’re several restaurants claimed that they’re ‘Dutch’ restaurants but indeed not traditionally running by Dutch owners, except this one). I’m delighted to see this name appears on the list for the HK Restaurants Week Promotion. Without any hesitations, I made a call and reserved a table immediately.
It’s a small running restaurant, not spacious but the general environment is cozy and comfy. The staffs working here are friendly and thoughtful. When I ordered a glass of white wine but it didn’t match with my flavor, the manager offered two other choices to let me tasted and chose again! One thing is quite inconvenient is that here doesn’t serve any tap water nor filter water. Every drink has to be ordered (pay).
For the appetizers, we ordered two different dishes: Black Mussels and Dutch Shrimps with Garden Greens. I like the Mussels in the creamy white wine sauce. It mixed well with the diced Carrots, Shallots, Garlic, Celeriac etc. Smell so good and very rich taste, yummy! The Garden Greens with Shrimps look a bit dry and comparatively less attractive than the Mussels. Taste is alrite, fortunately the cocktail sauce brings up the taste of the shrimps.
After it, we started our main courses, we ordered: Lamb Fillets with Eggplants and Mushroom Risotto with Truffle Essence. The weight of the Lamb fillets is not too much. It serves only 4 little rolls. We requested medium rare cooked of the Lamb, it lets the meat tastes soft and smooth. I like the Lamb fillet on the sauce of creamed Leeks and Rosemary Jus. Very refreshing! It’s a must order dish if you come here for your first time! The Risotto is a bit too creamy for me. But the flavor of Truffle and Girolles Mushroom are fairly outstanding.
Lastly, we chose three different desserts to end the night: The Chocolate Truffle Cake with Mango Coculis, Icre-cream with Poffertjes (荷蘭雞蛋仔) - the very typical Dutch food and some selected Cheeses with Walnuts. The Choco Cake tastes ordinary, nothing really special. The Poffertjes, the typical Dutch coin size pancakes, it serves with Vanilla Ice-cream, They matched well together! If I come again next time, I must order this dish again! I regretted for choosing the cheese as my ‘dessert’, I don’t mean the cheese taste wrong, just compare to the rest, they’re juicy and sweet, the cheese is just too salty and ‘dry’ for being ‘dessert’. A note to the reader, you may not feel happy of having something salty to end the dinner for the night…
Overall, I think cuisine here is not 100% ‘Dutch’; it’s more like French mixed Dutch. It’s still worthy to come here for a try. It’s situated at up hill high level in Soho area, a quiet environment. It’s recommended to be visited.
