Met a friend for dinner in the Tseung Kwan O area as she lives there. We decided to try out one of the new restaurants that opened in Park Central. As she doesn't like Chinese food, we chose Moo Beef Cafe. The design of the restaurant was very hip. White and blue with all sorts of Moo mottos.Menu is in English and Chinese.

Menu is in English and Chinese. Apparently they focus on steak and beef. Ordering is by scanning a QR code which will lead you to their menu page for ordering. I don't know if it was my connection, but it was SUPER slow. We decided to share our food.
This is the Moo Beef Platter ($128). From left to right: mozzarella rice balls, mini burger, mini beef wellington. Yes, that atrocious thing on the right is a beef wellington. It was horrific. A chewy, under cooked piece of puff pastry, few bits of mushroom (or their attempt at a duxelle) and one piece of beef (that was surprisingly medium rare but then since the puff pastry was under cooked, that is probably how they got it to be medium rare). I almost wanted to do a complete Gordon Ramsay and toss that "beef wellington" (and yes, I put this in quotes because it is NOT a beef wellington) back into the kitchen. The mozzarella rice balls were just rice with ketchup, rolled into a ball. There was NO cheese in it. The only good thing was the burger! A bit too salty but at least it was acceptable. And also medium rare.
Moo Super Salad ($68) was one of the saddest salads I've ever encountered (not including the free ones that come with a lunch or dinner set). It was literally just lettuce, a few pieces of cherry tomato and a sprinkle of quinoa as if it was a topping. I have no idea where the "super" comes in but it definitely was underwhelming.
Lena Chicken Wings ($56) were ok. A tiny bit spicy but not overly so that I couldn't eat it. The meat was moist and not over cooked.
8 oz Australian Rib Eye ($158). Added $42 for a soup and dessert which my friend did. The soup was a daily corn soup and the dessert was chocolate cake but after a few bites my friend said it was actually a brownie cut like a cake. The rib eye was requested to be a medium rare and it was a bit on the rare side. I am fine with it even if the blood was coloring up my plate. It said "juicy, meaty and awesome" on the menu. I definitely wasn't feeling this. The steak also wasn't seasoned so the gravy was definitely needed. The worst of all? The "nachos". Again I put these in quotes as these were not nachos. Just some overly oily, hard tortillas with only two of them covered in hardened cheese. Even my friend didn't understand the purpose of this. Why couldn't they just provide fries or mash potato? Why plate it up with this sad looking item?
Slow Cooked Red Wine Beef Cheeks ($128) was the other main we chose. This was actually alright. The beef cheeks were moist and tender. The sauce was fine. The mash potatoes were ok but not creamy enough. A bit too starchy for my taste. The vegetables were a sadly small portion but at least they tasted ok.
I've been to some pretty bad restaurants in my time, but this one? This one is high up on my list of no return. Sad really as the design is quite fun, chic and inviting. But the food? For a place that is geared for beef, this is probably the worst I've ever had. Several items were a complete fail. I definitely won't be back unless they change the chef.
