Sunday is always a lazy day for me. A time to wake up late and having lunch and breakfast in one go. It is always the perfect day for brunch. Boyfriend and I decided to go to Sheung Wan and see what was available. That is when we cme across a new place called O WOW. There was a small number of diners but it wasn't too busy. The staff came out eagerly to introduce us to the menu and concept. We decided to take a chance at something new.The restaurant has some outdoor seats. The interior is narrow
The restaurant has some outdoor seats. The interior is narrow with all chairs facing the open kitchen. More casual during the day, at night it offers a chef's table experience.
There are drawings on the wall along with a mural that are drawn by local artist, Virginia Ng. Apparently, they also will showcase local artists as well.
For brunch, the only have a brunch menu. Menu is in English and Chinese. As they are still new, the menu said they offer a free Americano, English Breakfast tea or sparkling wine with any order. Or upgrade to any other coffee for $18. When we asked if it was still valid as we came in March, they said it still was so ... we got ourselves a free drink.
I didn't want an Americano, so I did upgrade to a Latte ($18). Nice latte art with a minimal amount of foam. The coffee was not too strong but smelled nice and had a smooth texture.
Boyfriend chose the Sparkling Wine. A light amount of bubbles, it was sweet and not too dry.
We shared everything and started with a snack of Crispy Chicken Wings ($28). This was served with a Sweet and Chili Caramel Sauce that was really good. Sweet and not to spicy but enough to give you a kick. You get three pieces and they were piping hot. The skin was crispy. The meat was so juicy, the oil just squirted out when I bit into it.
Originally, we wanted the Reuben Sandwich because it's been a long time we had a pastrami. But the staff informed us that it wasn't available but would subsitute with a Classic Double Cheese Patty Melt with Fries ($138). Though I really wanted pastrami, I didn't regret choosing this one at all. It was really good and it was originally on their weekday lunch menu. I'd definitely come here for lunch for this. The slices of bread were buttery and held everything together well. Toasted to a good crispness without being too hard. The best was the meat patty. It was juicy and moist. Seasoned well. Lots of gooey cheddar with some pickled onions to give it acidity so it wouldn't be too rich. It was served with some piping hot fries that were thick cut and crispy.
We shared something sweet and chose a Thick Buttermilk Hotcake ($118). Topped with whipped cream, mix berries, pistachio and a bit of maple syrup. This was more like a skillet butter cake. Very rich and indulgent. And such a large size ... definitely shareable. The berries were fresh.
The waitress was very friendly. The food was delicious and beautifully plated. A good casual eatery that is also reasonably priced. Definitely try out their lunch menu next time.
