With most of my friends living in New Territories, and only a few on Hong Kong Island, I seldom set foot in Lan Kwai Fong. Even when I do go to Hong Kong Island, I would go dining and shopping in Causeway Bay, so Central isn't somewhere I frequently visit. This time, the restaurant my friends and I checked out was Lily & Bloom.Turns out, Lily & Bloom is a suitable place for birthday celebrations with friends and lovers. The evening I was there, there were two groups of diners celebrating birthda
Turns out, Lily & Bloom is a suitable place for birthday celebrations with friends and lovers. The evening I was there, there were two groups of diners celebrating birthdays. When waiters and cooks came bearing cake and singing Happy Birthday for the first time, I found it surprising and heartwarming. The whole restaurant joined in celebration. I thought at first that this was special treatment for some senior staff member, until the second group came along. It dawned on me that this was standard practice at this restaurant. What a pity that it wasn't my birthday that evening, but you should definitely come with friends for their birthdays. After all, it's little things like this that makes an enjoyable dining experience.Lily & Bloom was also decorated with a romantic theme throughout, from the walls to lighting and ornaments around the restaurant. And the ornaments, mostly flowers and small candles, made the atmosphere doubly romantic.

The homemade bread was warm, even a bit hot, when the server presented them. Extra points for this nice touch, something we don't see all the time. Meanwhile, the server prepared balsamic vinegar and olive oil for us, which goes with the bread. The bread was luscious, and with the insides soft and very hot, you could tell it was not just reheated by microwave.

This beef tartare is served with mustard aioli, fresh herbs and capers, smoky red pepper sauce and crispy shallots. It was my first time having raw beef in a restaurant, which made me nervous, because I wasn't sure if I had the courage to try it.
The presentation of the dish was very attractive. Without second thoughts, I helped myself by mixing the beef with egg yolks and crispy shallots. The texture of the meat was tender, while the flavours of the pepper and the beef was just the right mix. Mixed in with the crispy shallots, the combination of tenderness and crunch made this an excellent dish.

How can one go without alcohol on Lan Kwai Fong? On the waiter's recommendation, I ordered a Shades of Grapes, with grapes, white wine, Hennessy VSOP, elderflower, ginger and celery. White wine is a personal favourite, so I chose this over another cocktail, The Mad Hatter, which the waiter also initially recommended. With a mild taste, a tinge of fruitiness and the added celery stalk, this cocktail had an atmosphere of a seaside resort around it.

This mac and cheese came with red wine angus beef, pimiento peppers and fresh herbs. The cheese didn't melt as expected, which was disappointing in terms of appearance. Once you took the first bite, though, the rich flavours of cheese fills your mouth! The macaroni was a bit too soft to achieve the ideal al dente texture; nonetheless it was a treat overall.

At last, my main course, served with fried chicken, buttermilk waffle and chipotle gravy. Even though I already had quite some cheese before, my love for chicken was simply unstoppable. It looked like your average deep-fried chicken from the outside, but the inside was nothing like that. Beneath the crispy outer crust was a well-seasoned piece of chicken, marinated with spices throughout and not oily at all. The chicken was also very thick, enough for sharing among three people.
On the other hand, the waffle underneath the chicken was savoury, not sweet, and filled with scents of lemon, which was out of my expectation: I was used to having waffles for dessert.

I just had to order some when I saw them on the menu. Crispy yet not oily, the fries from a high-end restaurant like this certainly didn't disappoint.

The restaurant's homemade Blueberry Cheese Cake was nicely done. With delicate texture and just the right level of sweetness, the cake felt different from the usual cheese cake.
