Passed this place walking home from lunch on Sunday. My friend and I both love oysters. It was closed so we called back later to see if they had a table for dinner and to my surprise they did, although only at the bar. When we arrived we were pleased to have a table at the bench. It's very small, perhaps 10 seats, a few at the bar and a table outside.I love the way they have a "set" to go with the oysters: soup, vegtable sticks (so healthy!) and garlic bread.They had a good selection of oysters
When we arrived we were pleased to have a table at the bench. It's very small, perhaps 10 seats, a few at the bar and a table outside.
I love the way they have a "set" to go with the oysters: soup, vegtable sticks (so healthy!) and garlic bread.
They had a good selection of oysters - about 8/10 different sorts. To start we ordered a dozen mixed. Small-medium sized oysters all very tasty. The shucker must be expert because they arrived in seconds!
We followed up with scallop and clam. I love scallops and these were very tasty. I had never had clam before - it was nothing special.
After that we decided to go for another dozen oysters so I think we probably sampled all they oysters they had. They were all wonderful!
They had nothing from Scotland or Ireland because the volcanic ash is still disrupting flights from there so we will have to make a return visit.
We finished up with mixed skewers of eel and pork. The eel was delicious. This came with a garlicky, coriander-flavoured dipping sauce which was also lovely.
Service was very good, perhaps a bit too efficient (one plate was removed while I was still chewing my last mouthful). At 10.20 they arrived to see if we wanted to order anything else as the kitchen would be closing.
Also, they don't charge corkage on wine so we brought our own. They kept it chilled, opened it and served it for us with no problem. That is such a brilliant idea.
We had 2 doz oysters, a serving of clam, a serving of scallop and a plate of mixed skewers all for HKD1,000. Great value you'd be hard pushed to find elsewhere.
All in all, a great restaurant, near to home and a stone's throw from the more "fashionable" end of Soho & I can't wait to go back.
