Replacing the Alba restaurant on the 10th floor of Cubus is Town, a bistro serving multi-cultural…read morecuisine with focus on lighter and healthier ingredients. The dining area is modern and clean, with hints of industrial touches. The windows overlook the buildings on the Lee Gardens side, and I imagine would be quite scenic when all lit up during the evening. Town offered a 3-course set lunch (ranging from $178 - $220): starter, main and dessert. For the starter, it was a choice between Anti-Pasti Buffet and Broccoli, Smoked Salmon and Yoghurt. We all opted for the former. The buffet table offered standard salad items ranging from leafy vegetables, cous cous, cold cuts and so on. Quite refreshing and definitely more controlled than a free-flow all-you-can-eat/order brunch. The bread basket was a warm and most breads used heavier dough, giving them the qualities of comfort food. Simple old goodness! We also ordered a bottle of Panna still water ($68), which is not pictured here. Next up were the mains. Iberico Pork Loin, Corn, Pancetta, Celery Root, Peas, Quince ($220/set) was a safe fail-proof choice; the cut was meaty and with a bit of bite, while the sides matched the sweetness from the pork loin. Our other main was Wagyu Beef Burger, Cheddar Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion Jam, Fries($198/set). Like the Iberico Pork, also a staple dish, but with a twist of red onion jam which complemented the heaviness of the patty quite well. Other than that, it can be described as a no-frills classic American burger. Another main that we ordered was Beef and Pork Bolognaise, Spagettini, Porcini Mushrooms ($188/set). Again like the burger, was a classic entry to the American diet. The twist was the use of Porcini mushrooms instead of the usual button mushrooms, giving the dish a bit more bite and character. The desserts were a choice between Strawberries with Mascarpone Cheese OR Upside-Down Pineapple Cake. The strawberries and mascarpone, I believe are a healthier option to the usual strawberries and cream. Those looking for a healthier fresh fruit option would appreciate this. The Upside-Down Pineapple Cake, in my opinion, tasted exactly like the classic Cantonese bakery favorite Coconut Tart (椰撻)! The pineapple added a layer of acidity to the tart, and elevated it above your local bakery tart. All in all, I appreciate the use of quality ingredients as I do the reinvention of classic dishes. I see a small step in the right direction, and do look forward to a bigger more adventurous leap for the menu. But then again, I have yet to sample the dinner menu, which may offer more interesting flavours and options versus the dependable (and rather unimaginative) lunch menu. Town is still a good choice for a straightforward meal with friends in a casual relaxed environment.

It is baked in salt and served with mushrooms in a cream sauce over rice cooked in cast iron casserole dish. There isn't much description on the menu items so I would suggest taking some time to speak with the staff to understand what to order or to do some research ahead of time. I particularly enjoyed the frog legs, pasta dishes, and chocolate dessert.

This is big. This is really something! I have been lucky to wander a little and have never had a chef let us be ourselves wrt etiquette n rules while traveling in Asia. No judgement just enjoy! Boy did we enjoy and love the whole roasted chicken with Petits Pois a la Francaise, the Fluke with Bergamot and Black Lime( delicious- not a fluke!), the millefuille( as my LI friend and sis Christina J would smile & say DAYUMMMMM), Foie Gras with Eiswein and Plum, my fav and two time fun with the Black Prawn w calamansi & eggplant, Dover sole with green asparagus, piny lobster with Swiss chard and Lardo Di Colonatta , the A4 Miyazaki beef with pearl onions and the Madagascar( I'd like to move it move it and I was dancing and singing after the first spoon) Chocolate Royal w Hazelnut.

From the outside, I could smell the food cooking, and I knew that this was where I should spend my dollars. It was the middle of the afternoon and there was not many people inside. We were first brought out some of the best tasting bread in Hong Kong. I ate it so fast and forgot to post it!!‍. I then went ahead to order the roasted duck salad, along with the seared salmon. Within around 10 mins, I received my duck salad. I have only had duck 1 time before many years ago and I was the glad to have it again. The spice and texture were excellent, and the dressing complimented very well with the salad dressing. Another 10 minutes later, the salmon finally came out. Steaming and looking delicious on my plate, I took my first bite. All of the anticipation, and walking before was definitely worth it. I scarfed this down within seconds. I would most certainly, undoubtedly, recommend this place to anyone who ever visits Hong Kong.

Great little gem tucked away under the escalators. The dining area feels spacious (for a small…read morespace!) and very clean - something not many restaurants in SoHo can say! This is a great place to stop for some wine and light fare. The Cordon Bleu fingers were delicious (but of course they were - they're fried rolled up ham and cheese!), as were the burger and fries. The one thing I would skip are the quesadillas - but really, what kind of idiot orders quesadillas in a French American restaurant?! The chicken in the quesadillas was frozen and very strange. I will not make that mistake again. Otherwise, this is a lovely little spot! Greatly enjoyed the people watching, atmosphere, drinks, and (most) food :)

By the time my prawns finally come out, my friend's food was all cold. They were apologetic and offered free ice cream which we turned down. Service was mediocre at best. I had to wave down a waiter at least 4 -5 times before getting someone to take my order of wine. We were in the quiet little room on the side. So I don't think I will be back.

Throw back to Old Shanghai, when its the Paris of the Orient!…read more During the 1920's 30's Shanghai was the place to be in Asia! Very much the centre for commerce and finance, it is also the Capital of anything in Vogue, where new fads and fashions are embraced in this ancient country called China. Food is a way to express the way people live and the way people "want" to live! Hence the invention of Chinese Influenced Western Cooking. Very much like the Yoshoku Cooking in Japan started in the Meiji Period. In China, it is mostly influenced by the influx of White Russians refugees during and after the Revolution. They bring not only their own culture but also their cuisine, some of the more wealthy "refugees" would still hire maids and cooks after their escape, as they still wish to maintain their ways of living before the revolution in Russia. These Cooks later became fully versed in the Russian Cuisine and soon they put in their own signature to make it their own. At Sunning, their influence of the West came from France, Russia and other European cooking methods. They also pride themselves in baking their own bread fresh everyday. Lunch that day was with my family in Hong Kong, we all grew up having this type of western dishes, and its a way of getting back to our childhood times. My Rack of Lamb was done perfectly, very tender and juicy, the doneness perfect, the sauce was a bit on the sweet side tho. The Chicken Caesar unlike anything we see in N. America, it is their own interpretation, chicken breast was poached not grilled, thus its more tender and moist, being a Caesar Salad it's size is not doing justice to the dish. Yes, I understand it is a starter and not a meal size, so if you are on a diet, this will be a very good dish to have! Service is old school, very attentive and warm, all the servers are over 50 and they all seemed to have been there forever! Sunning is still is and hopefully will still be there for a long time, as new generations will learn the history of their grandparents here of how food is being served in the old days of Shanghai and Hong Kong!

Not especially exciting dish but done pretty well. The salmon is served on a piece of toasted bread and topped with greens. The greens were a bit too much and could have used a bit more salt. Overall still pretty tasty. The French chicken dish is a signature dish and I can see why. You get too pieces of chicken served over mashed potatoes with asparagus. This dish is really delicious. I will come back here just to order this. Chicken is really tender and juicy and the asparagus is cooked perfectly as well. For dessert I had the apple tart. This is ok and wouldn't really recommend. Not bad per se but wasn't great. The ice cream was the best part of the dish.

Came here recently a while back take away dinner…read more Tried: the chicken, the sea bass, the gnochetti, and a few others. We also got a whole lot of bread here. I thought that the sea bass was definitely better than the chicken, which itself was not too bad but a little bit on the dry side. It's chicken breast, what can you expect. The gnochetti was definitely not what I was expecting - it's more like pasta, when I was expecting gnocchi, but still quite nice. It felt more like macaroni. Finally, I'm not sure if they bake their bread in house, but they have a whole lot of variety of bread here. Definitely worth a try if you are here; I believe it is free Overall, I think the food was quite nice. Yes, it is indeed expensive. For three people, we spent about $2000 HKD. You have to consider if take away makes sense for you, as I'm not sure if most people would want to pay such a high price for food that you can't enjoy in the restaurant. For me, because I had a coupon here, I wasn't exactly paying for it. However, the food itself is pretty good, and since that was is ultimately what I'm evaluating, I'd say it deserves about four stars.
