Pretty good Taiwanese food, definitely better than anything in the states (I'm looking at you, 626!). My theory is anything closer to the country will have better food from that country, and TeaWood definitely proves my point. I got the beef noodle soup and Taiwanese sausage. Both were really good, and the flavors and textures were on point! The noodles were thick and chewy, and the soup-noodle-beef ratio was solid. I would've liked a few more carrots and daikon radishes to cut the dish. I also got some berry dessert that was a special, but the staff was a bit inattentive and I had to ask for it again. They legit thought I was just sitting there after my meal not paying . The dessert had some pieces of strawberries, two French macarons, two blueberries, two overwhelming strawberry frosted donuts, and a scoop of ice cream with a little glazed cake thing on the bottom. The macarons were not good, the donuts looked frozen and then thawed out and were way too sweet, the ice cream was redeemable, and the glazed cake thing tasted like a jello cake. If I wasn't so interested in the way the dessert was decorated, I would have just gotten the pineapple cake dessert. Maybe that was the way to go ‍

Honestly, I have tried the toast box last time and don't think I'm really into it. The whole…read moreconstruction is just too sweet and plain. While the ice cream tastes quite artificial and the toasts cool down too quickly, I have lost my interest after taking a few pictures and tried a few bites. Anyway, I like the lunch set here. This is my twice time here and I've order the same beef brisket, minced meat rice and veggie as the last time. The beef brisket is quite impressive and tasty, perfect to go with the rice. Also, the latte is good, authentic Taiwanese style.

My review is based on the following: Food: 3 stars View: 5 stars Convenience and variety: 4 stars Recommendations: Bombay fish curry They have a wide variety of offerings. There is a table service restaurant, coffee bar with salads and quick bites, pasta bar, meat carving station, Indian, and pan Asian food. I typically will take a look around and end up ordering something from the Indian stand. Both the chicken tikka and Bombay fish curry are good. The portions are quite generous so you will definitely not be hungry afterwards. You have a choice of either rice or naan. The naan isn't the best and I would recommend going with the rice. I have had the meat carving station a few times and don't find it to be very good. It looks better than it tastes similarly to when you go to the carving station at the buffet. The view here is really awesome. You get a panoramic view of the Victoria harbor and the neighboring mountains. Definitely would recommend to come by for a quick meal and to enjoy the view.

You sat across from me at the family style table because at lunch time, though the seating is ample, the place is an absolute zoo. Maybe people come for the beautiful views that you get from the 37th floor, or maybe it's just super convenient if you work in One Island East. I know I go for the same reasons. I saw you looking at my sandwich. That's OK, it was a really nice sandwich of surprisingly flavorful pate with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, all between a pleasantly squishy demi-baguette ($55). Were you surprised as I was to find such a bold sandwich combination at a rather sterile looking place such as Public? That's OK, I am always pleasantly surprised by the somewhat unconventional menu at Public. Yesterday I had the corned beef and emmental mini-baguette ($30) which was surprisingly filling despite its small stature. I'm afraid the mushroom soup was still pretty weak. You were eating the pick-three salad combo ($55), which is my favorite thing at Public. Today it was fresh heirloom cherry tomatoes, roasted veg, and penne with peas and pesto. It was lovely.. I hope you'll agree with me in thinking that Public is one of the best places to lunch in the area. Signed, Chris H

Good quality dishes at great value here. It's actually one of the better restaurants that I have…read morecome across during this last trip. Tables weren't packed too closely to each other and service was polite and prompt. Portion on the group dinner set was also plentiful as well. The highlight of the meal was definitely the spicy lamb rib dish. The skin was so deliciously crispy, I just kept going back for more. The lamb itself was gamey, so if be warned if that's not your preference. Peking duck was very good as well, though I think they serve quite a bit of meat along with the skin nowadays. The spicy pork belly with asparagus and okra was boldly flavored and I would recommend if you're comfortable with a bit of heat. Of course, what Northern Chinese dinner would be complete without some XLBs? Solid work on the XLBs here. Would recommend giving them a go. Downer was the fried prawns with salted egg. The shrimp just wasn't fresh enough and it had that mushy texture. The flavor of the salted egg didn't really come through either. So fried giant mushy shrimp... Overall, above average for Northern Chinese in Southern China with all things considered.

So this Northern Chinese Spicy Food restaurant offer pretty good service, venue and food with an…read moreacceptable price. I first tried this with a group of colleagues for a celebration. That allowed me to taste more than ten dishes of their food. They all tasted great without much to complaint. And the bill ended up at 1500$ that fed about 12 big guys. I particularly loved the fish dish which they cooked the entire fish with spices and additional meats and mushroom on the it. It tasted great with lot of flavours while the texture was smooth at the meat and crispy at the skin and bones. In comparison to the Peking Duck, the duck was a bit too thick cut. Other dishes are not big, so you may try more dishes with our limited space of our stomach. The service was attentive, even during the busy lunch hour with a lot of tables to fill, the waiting staffs gave us lot of attention to clearing our plates and even changing our dining plates as well. For the price of 100$ to 200$ per person, I think the overall service was outstanding. However, there is still room for improvement. For food, although they all tasted wonderful, I have a feeling that some of them could be better, such as the peking duck. As for service, if they are to welcome us verbally, I think they should have done it with greater enthusiasm. Anyhow, I will come back when I ever need to drop by in the weekend.

Food: 3.75 stars Service/environment: 3.5 stars Overall: 3.75 stars Recommendations: hainan chicken rice, nasi goreng The hainan chicken rice here is really good. It's worth coming here just for this dish. The chicken is nice and moist and the rice is fragrant and not too oily. It also comes with a bowl of chicken soup. The nasi goreng is also really quite nice. It comes with two pieces of chicken sate and a fried drumstick and is topped with a fried egg. The drinks were not as nice as the food. The the Tarik here really tastes more like a Hong Kong milk tea than a yeh Tarik. The lime soda also has a bit o a Hong Kong flavor to it and more resembled a salty lemon seven up than a lemon soda.

We had two young children with us and the waitresses made us feel comfortable (children are noise machines :D ) Once I start to talk about the food, everything goes downhill! They have extremely small portions for the price, something I'm okay with if it were decent. The sweet and sour pork was amazing- the most battered I've eaten drenched in sauce. We also ordered some fried rice, vege stir fry and a fish all of which was sub par even compared to your local corner Thai restaurant. It seems their ingredients are the best but also the chef isn't experience enough so home cooked food could easily pass the grade of food here.

Why would I get French food in Hong Kong? It just really didn't make sense to me at first. Well,…read moreI've been back more times than I can remember and I've gone through a few of their stamp cards to get free quiche or chocolate cake so I guess my question was moot. While the chicken is good and getting the meal is a quick and relatively healthy swap for when I don't feel like cooking. I'm a big fan of their baguettes, the chicken sandwich that comes on the baguette as well as just buying a couple of loaves if I feel like splurging on eating carbs. The sandwich is a tasty well prepared little thing-it kind of reminds me of the mini subs that Blimpy's used to have but packed with a a lot of chicken and veggies. The potatoes are also a favorite side dish of mine but a few people have said it's a little too greasy because it's cooked in chicken juice. The only real complaint I have is that the servings are usually pretty small-like most places in HK. I end up buying the dinner for four deal for two people.

Amidst the noodles and the dim sum is this tiny takeaway place that serves...French roast chicken??…read moreI don't know what makes this place so French, other than the fact it's run by a French guy. We have roast chicken back in Canada too. But damn, it was good chicken and the sides were delish! No Swiss Chalet baby chicken and bland veggies here. It's becoming clearer to me that HK isn't the cheap food haven as I was led to believe. Still, La Rotisserie is rather reasonable. On the weekends, 1/4 chicken + 2 sides is priced at HKD $86 (CAD $15). Weekday lunch sets include 1/4 chicken + 1 side + drink for HKD $68 (CAD $12). They also take Octopus. I was kinda surprised at the price discrepancy between locations though. I recently moved so this Sai Ying Pun La Rotisserie isn't very accessible to me anymore. I'm still close to Wan Chai, but that one bumps its lunch special price to HKD $78. I know that area is a work-centric, rich expat-filled area, but I'm an expat on a budget!!! Every dollar counts! Regardless, it was still really, really good chicken. It was moist, the roasting was flavourful, and the portion was very reasonable. They also topped the chicken with a drizzle of chicken gravy and a sprinkling of fresh ground pepper. You got to choose between chicken breast or leg and they had 3 side dish options. For my two sides, I picked roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables (the last was some sort of couscous thing). The veggies were great and were a mixture of sweet carrots, broccoli, and squash. The potatoes were nicely cooked and even better when soaked in the chicken gravy. For a Hong Konger who grew up in the West and is craving a bit of the West in Hong Kong, La Rotisserie fulfills that craving with amazing chicken. The Sai Ying Pun location is mainly a takeaway store with a couple of bar stools, so don't expect a comfortable dine-in experience. As with most shops, it's completely open on one side onto the street, which really maximizes its impact. The whole store is practically spilling its seductive aroma and hitting everyone within a 5 meter radius. It's like crack to an addict and La Rotisserie is the best dealer around. (28/100) - 2017
