Craving for western food, we went to Duke's Deli for a try out. The furnishing in Duke's Deli is eye catching, very American café like. The black and white checked floor tiles, wooden tables and chairs, open kitchen and the bright illuminating lights all behold customer's attention while bypassing the restaurant.The restaurant is separated in 2 sections, the outside for café seating and inside quieter section for formal dinning. Seats are pretty spacious in the inside seating area with comfy sof
The restaurant is separated in 2 sections, the outside for café seating and inside quieter section for formal dinning. Seats are pretty spacious in the inside seating area with comfy sofas, My boyfriend and I grabbed a corner seat. Later the waiter came over and handed us the menu. The restaurant runs by ordering the food ourselves at the cashier.
The food range was hideously many which I was not sure it was a good or bad thing. As all the pictures on the menu looked very apetizing which gave me a headache in choosing what to order. After a while, we made our decisions and went over to order our food. The delivery speed was prompt, so you don't need to wait for a long time for your food.
1) Buffalo Wings $48/5pcs
Duke's Deli's Wings are from Nuke'em Wings. Nuke'em Wings are famous for their seriously hot & spicy wings. The bucket of spicy smelling wings arrived soon after we ordered the food. Plastic gloves were given along with the bucket, and the wings always taste better by eating them with your own hands! The wings were hot and spicy, the meat were smooth and tender. Yet the fried skin was not as crispy as I thought it would be. The secret recipe of the spicy sauce poured over the wings had made the crispy layer soften, so I was a bit disappointed by that.
2) Pepperoni Pizza $34
Duke's Deli serves the largest pizza in Hong Kong. They made 22" pizza starting from a price of $190 only. The shockingly giant pizza could be ordered by sliced and one 22" was sliced by 8 portions. We ordered a slice and it came out to be quite a big slice already. The pepperoni pizza was served hot and every single mouth bite was full of mozzarella cheese. Yet I would not say the pizza tasted good because the amount of pepperoni was somehow not enough for the big slice of pizza, or that the pepperoni was too thinly sliced. Moreover, the pizza became cold pretty fast, probably because of the big surface area. Anyway, biggest does not equal greatest. Local chain Pizza Hut may already be a better choice than Duke's Deli's Pizza.
3) Roasted Skinless Chicken Steak with Mozzarella Cheese $42
This was the greatest dish out of the four, this was simply amazing! The roasted skinless chicken steak was served hot on a toasted multi-grain bread, topped with a layer of melted Mozzarella cheese and sided with some nice fresh green salad. First the toasted bread is scrumptiously crispy! It was totally toasted to give the crust. The chicken steak was soft, tender and was nicely seasoned to give a sweet taste. The salad on the other hand was great too! The leaves were freshly prepared and there were also my favourite rocket leaves in the mix too. Not a restaurant I encountered would include rocket leaves as side salad leaves, I was ecstatic when I saw it on the side. Super thumb up for this dish.
4) Macaroni & Cheese with Mushroom $45
The Macaroni was made to order so it took more time before it was served on the table. The Macaroni & Cheese has an appetizing look with a slice of cheese on top and melted cheese on top of the macaroni. When we started mixing the Macaroni, I was dazed to see the sizzling smoke that came out of the Macaroni. The dish was boiling hot that the smoke kept coming out non stop, it was quite a scene. The Macaroni was not that nice. The sauce was too hot that it kind of burn the cheese, there were too much sauce that made the dish very liquid and did not give a creamy mouth feel. The liquid sauce was also too thin that it did not give enough taste and extra Parmesans cheese had to be added to it to give some taste. Overall, this dish was nothing amazing except the startling smoke. I had the smoke recorded for fun.
Overall, the dinning experience in Duke's Deli was enjoyable and fun especially with the chimney Macaroni & Cheese. The environment was pretty nice to dine in, the food overall was average but the Roasted Skinless Chicken Steak with Mozzarella Cheese is highly recommended for a try.
