Been hearing so many mixed reviews about the newly opened Bluhouse located at the Rosewood Hong Kong. Finally gave it a try to see what the hype is all about! Pic 1️⃣&2️⃣: Assorted Mini Pastry Selection from the Vitrine (4 pieces)- $188 hkd (prices have increased significantly! during my visit in mid July it was priced at $110 for 4.) 🍰 — Can’t deny that their pastry counter is every dessert lovers dream, the sheer variety they offer is quite impressive! However, it does look better than it tastes.

— Can’t deny that their pastry counter is every dessert lovers dream, the sheer variety they offer is quite impressive! However, it does look better than it tastes. The flavours were quite one dimensional and lacking richness. My favourite among the few was the lemon tart which had a nice sweetness to it balanced by the tanginess.
Pic 3️⃣: Rigatoni alla Carbonara - $210 hkd 🍝
— This was pretty good but a bit too peppery in my opinion, masking the cheesy/eggy flavour. The pasta had a nice chew and was cooked to a perfect al dente. Really loved the crispy pancetta bits which added a nice smoky, salty flavour to the dish.
Pic 4️⃣: Parmigiana Pizza - $88 hkd 🍆
— Pizza base was quite dry as it was simply reheated from their deli counter. The toppings were tasty but nothing spectacular.
Pic 5️⃣: Porchetta Pizza - $98 hkd 🐷
— Even drier than the parmigiana pizza. The base was crunchier than a cracker 😅 The pizza itself is also quite dry and lacks a saucy element to it. The flavours in this are very interesting though, think Spanish cochinillo but on a pizza 😂 It’s also quite salty.
Pic 6️⃣: Half Rotisserie Chicken (Diavola) - $268 hkd 🐓
— Was warned that this was going to be spicy but I couldn’t taste any spice at all 😂The chicken itself was alright, meat was tender and quite juicy but the marinade was way too salty.
Pic 7️⃣: Arancino - $95 hkd
— Good to munch on whilst waiting for the mains. Flavours were nice and smoky, nicely deep fried and the cheese filling really gave it a nice flavour.
Pic 8️⃣: Tiramisù - $98 hkd
— Pretty good but way too sweet for me. The mascarpone was smooth and light, and the ladyfingers were adequately soaked in coffee and liqueur. Love that its nice and cold too.
Overall rating:
😋Taste: Food is slightly underwhelming for the price tag and definitely expected more from the Rosewood restaurants considering how good their other restaurants have been.
— Great as a grab&go spot but would opt for their other restaurants for a sit down meal.
📍Ambiance: casual eatery vibes, tables are quite small though. The dining room might be a better option for a nice sit down meal.
⭐️Would visit again?: Try once
