LKF tower is always a building of choice when I've no idea where I should go. Casa Lisboa, a name you can immediately connect to Portugal, had been on my list-to-visit for two weeks since I noticed that when I had had happy hour at the Brew House.Atmosphere:Very relaxed, with dimmed and soothing light. We (2 of us) sat at the corner of the main dining area. They also have a private room, which is good for private function. They have live guitar music there and the owner, if he is there, sings

Food
Pork Sausageflambee - $105
The is basically grilled chorizo, but prepared in front of you. It's exciting to see the waitress preparing that in front of you, and certainly draws the attention of other patrons around your table. The chorizo has strong smokey flavour, and it goes exceptionally well with raw garlic. It certainly open your appetite for the coming dishes.
I don't recall this dish being served in Nino's Cozinha, another Portuguese restaurant serving authentic Portuguese dishes in Hong Kong.
Seafood Soup - $60
I didn't try it myself but according to my friend, the fish flavour goes very well with the creamy tomato base. The parsley also brings the aroma into another level. There are chunky seafood pieces in the soup, such as fish and prawn.
Pig Ear Salad - $65
Another dish that opens your appetite. The citrus and spicy flavour are the prefect match to the pig ear. Everything is chopped into small pieces and perfect for enjoying it without using a knife. There is also a big piece of pig ear laid in the bottom and it brings the wow factor when you get to the bottom of the plate. A very smart execution.
Many places serve salad in chunky pieces. Yes, it may look better but the sauce and flavour are also more difficult to get on the green. I just love how they serve it in here, like "just salad" in Central.
Lobster Seafood Rice - $390
It looks very nice and it certainly worths to wait for 30 minutes. To many people in Hong Kong, the flavour may be too strong and salty but that's how the Portuguese serve their dishes.
The lobster is very fresh, so are the prawn and mussel. The lobster meat is tender and juicy and the rice absorbed all the flavour of different seafood, and it's just great. Although the rice may be a little bit overcooked and become a bit mushy, it is still great.
In terms of execution, I'd still prepare the seafood rice by St. Antonio Restaurant in Macao, but for a Portuguese restaurant in Hong Kong, it's just exceptional.
We also ordered House White ($35 per glass), but since I am not an expert of wine, I would not comment on the quality of it. It is, however, fruity and easy to drink.
Before we were ready to go, the owner came over and we held a short conversation together. This restaurant is owned by the owner of Ole Spanish Restaurant, which is 5 minutes walk from this restaurant. He said he opened this Portuguese restaurant with the same philosophy as he runs Ole (a restaurant I like a lot). Basically, it's great food made of fresh ingredient, served in a comfy environment. He hired the Portuguese chef, who also came over afterward, and asked for our comments on the food. The chef commented on the strong flavour especially, and said he wants to bring the real authentic flavour to people in Hong Kong, so he tries to keep the strong salty flavour as in his home country.
In a nutshell, this dinner is well worth the price, and it'll absolutely be revisited by me.
