Hmmm...I just wanna say, dining out in Hk is ridiculously expensive. More expensive than NYC.
Came here with a friend around 1:40 pm on a Saturday and still waited in line for about 15 to 20 mins, outside the store. Once we got in, we were tested the temperature, given the hand sanitizer, and menus so we can think about what we want to order while waiting for another 5-7 mins.
There's no table service. You decide what you want, then go to the counter where the sign says "order here", then pay upfront. You also get yourself water, silverware and napkins. So no service charge, which is a plus for someone like me who hate the tipping system in the States.
So I saw the Garden Deluxe salad. Avocado, grilled peppers, scrambled eggs, and toasted bread; $128. Must be hell amount of goodness. So I went for it. When the salad plate arrived at my table, I was a bit shocked. SO SMALL portion like feeding a bird! The taste of each item on the plate was good (but not like "wow so good"), but I was FAR from being full even after consuming those 3 slices of toasts (well, crostino size tho).
My friend had the carbonara. I think if you are hungry or aim for a proper lunch, go for the pasta. Can't go wrong with pasta, although my friend thought it was just alright, at least portion wise you'll feel money is not wasted.
Coffees here range from $40-ish to $65-ish, pricey but as expected. I had the ginger latter. To me it tasted like virgin Delirium but bitter with a hint of ginger, which was okay. My friend ordered the tonic coffee and didn't say a word about how it tasted (LoL).
Anyways, quite a popular place as there were still ppl waiting when we left 2 hours later. Love the industrial decors and ambience, but no thanks, not coming back. read more
