Starstreet precinct is an interesting area to explore, no matter for designer goods, clothing or food. Admiralty is deemed as a a 'desert' for gourmets but hope is ignited when you walk from Admiralty to Wanchai, making you pass by this cosy neighbourhood for sure. Having my Entertainer app membership renewed for 2017, Oolaa Petite was my choice for a weekday dinner gathering, though with a second thought of picking Chez Patrick which was just nearby. There are 3 Oolaa-related eateries in Hong K
Starstreet precinct is an interesting area to explore, no matter for designer goods, clothing or food. Admiralty is deemed as a a 'desert' for gourmets but hope is ignited when you walk from Admiralty to Wanchai, making you pass by this cosy neighbourhood for sure. Having my Entertainer app membership renewed for 2017, Oolaa Petite was my choice for a weekday dinner gathering, though with a second thought of picking Chez Patrick which was just nearby. There are 3 Oolaa-related eateries in Hong Kong, all of which are under the Castelo Group. Having tried Oolaa (I bet the biggest one?) in Sheung Wan and having confidence in its food and vibes, I decided to go the Petite one. It was just opposite to PP3 and next to Giando. Strangely not having its shop name lit up at night, it would be easy missed in plain sight, though the crowd at the entrance enjoying happy hour would truly catch your attention.
Don't be scared off by the crowd at the entrance, there are in fact plenty of seats further inside. We did book a table by phone beforehand, so we were directly led to our table. Elegantly though minimally decorated, the interior is gathering-friendly in addition to dimly lit interior. It was a bit noisy due to the low ceiling and the drinking crowd at the entrance so it wasn't really couple-friendly despite the candle light setting.
The drinking crowd should be drawn by the happy hour offer which is at 4-8pm. We ordered several glasses of wine by 8pm as well, around $40-50/each.
The menu is available online in its official website, thumbs up for the transparency of information which saves much hassle. Salad, pizza and mains mostly range from $140-$220. Pricing is acceptable in the area, and of course very attractive given the discount I can enjoy because of the Entertainer app. Comparing to Oolaa in Sheung Wan, this "Petite" version doesn't really offer much less, just that vibe and ambience is less favorable here.
Kick-starting the night is crunchy yet tender garlic bread. So scrumptious that we quickly finished it off, as bread was still warm and cosy when served.

It is a nice place to chill out at night if noise of crowds doesn't really matter. Gatherings should be full of gossips and chit-chats, so a place being too quiet isn't an advantage either. Portion of food is satisfactory, just that details have to be worked on, including taste and texture. May be back for brunch, hopefully at the table near the entrance where sunlight comes in.
