What an amazing dinner at Hugo's for my wife and I! Highly recommended! Interior is dark and…read moreswanky. Great date spot. Service is impeccable and very attentive. Wife and I shared a Caesar salad, ribeye and creamed spinach. Originally wanted the prime rib but they ran out. The Caesar salad is made table side, even the dressing is made table side. It's a lighter dressing but actually made the salad very refreshing rather than the normal flavor found in the US. Ribeye was cooked perfectly (med rare) and we chose the pepper sauce which was also on the lighter side but allowed you to really taste the beef. Creamed spinach was richer than expected but still delicious. Even the bread was delicious. They had 3 different types and the only one I wasn't a fan of was the garlic buttered toast. It wasn't gross, just a bit too strong and heavy. We ordered a Manhattan and gin martini. Both were delicious and too easy to drink. They even gave us desert, little ice cream balls dipped in chocolate, served over dry ice Price matched the quality and service so expect to pay more compared to neighboring restaurants. Give it a shot!

It is fine dining at its best. Chef Nicolas Boutin's meticulous dishes are not only beautiful to look at, but tastes just as good.

From the moment we walked in to when we left, everything was impeccable! The service was top notch, flawless and elegant, but not uptight like most other places. Our waitress was very attentive, even threw in a few jokes here and there, which you don't see much at any upscale restaurants, definitely made the experience more unique. They have live music EVERY NIGHT! The singer even dressed better than we did lol. This is definitely the place you want to dress up for, and not just because the dress code is actually enforced. Let's talk about the most important thing: food. Everything is cooked, prepared, and presented beautifully. The food is delicious. Even the breads and butters (3 different types of butter!) that they serve as filler before your meal are to die for! You can request as much of the bread as you want, and you should eat as much of the bread as you can since the food portions are very small. I know fancy restaurants are not the place to stuff your face and get full, but I do it anyway lol. If my meal was going to cost more than $100USD anywhere, I better walk out of there full! Overall, it was a great experience. I just wish the food portion was bigger. Compares to the other fine dining option at the Peninsula (Felix), this is a better choice if you don't mind little to no view at all.

Recalling how amazing the croissants were at Joel Robuchon's bakery in Shinjuku (Tokyo), I elected…read moreto indulge in a plain croissant here, despite facing an onslaught of baked goods and carbs from an impending afternoon tea soon after. The decor is that black and red that many Robuchon establishments wear. There is a diverse offering of baked goods, ranging from breads to macarons to cakes. The croissant here, while not a disaster, wasn't amazing. I mean, it's not the crap you'd see at a supermarket, but I expected more. The texture was reasonably flaky and buttery. The interior was fairly light and airy inside. I wouldn't have a problem eating this but given my experiences with Joel Robuchon bakeries in the past, I was rather underwhelmed by this selection.

My family already had dinner, but passing this in the mall I had to try his famous Rose Cake. I got the Rose Cake and my son got a Caramel Macaron. Macarons are his favorite. The prices of his cakes aren't cheap. The single serve Rose Cake was $7US and the macarons were almost $4US. While many praise his Rose Cake, I didn't like it. It left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. I can't even tell you what it tastes like because it has a taste of its own. I've never tasted anything like it in my life. The edible gold flakes on it was a nice touch. My son loved his macaron. He said it's the best he's ever tasted and he gets macarons everywhere we go.

Maison Eric Kayser now has two locations in the Tsim Sha Tsui area…read more This one, inside Harbour City, is obviously the location that is more spacious and has a more elevated feeling in terms of layout, décor, customer service, and the overall feel. This location definitely gets more foot traffic than the other location and has a more open room concept. Their bakery area is small but is tidy and holds a lot of the baked items as well as a clear case for their patisserie items. They also have a large seating area for folks that want to enjoy their breakfast, brunch, or café items along with good company. My favorite item is their hazelnut passion fruit tarte. Enjoyed it with a nice iced latte. Although at a higher price point, I would very much prefer this over the Starbucks and other chain coffee shops they have in the general area.

Laduree has got some competition now inside Harbour City!…read more Their macarons are on par with a lot of the more popular names out there, just without the large crowds. Grab yourself a couple (or a dozen) and savor the freshness and sweet goodness. They've got a large variety of other sweets as well, ranging from pastries to smaller sized cakes, etc. And their bread and croissants are damn tasty too! I've grabbed a couple just for a quick little snack in the mornings. They do have a proper sit-down area where you can dine. I will update my review when the time comes for me to eat here! =)

Truffle Pizza: 4/5 The truffle pizza looks amazing, however…read moreit is really small and expensive ($200). The crust looks like it was a frozen crust from the supermarket same goes for ham. However the cheese and the vegetables elevated the taste. Lobster Bisque: 1/5 Looks beautiful, however the cream on top makes it super dry and the soup overall just made my throat hurt because of how dry it was. Taste wasn't good either, made my mouth stink for a minute. Fried fish: 2/5 Looks like salty fish from the fish market. Taste awful, the skin of the fish was too oily, made me sick. The fish was also quite dry and I didn't want to finish it. Carbonara Pasta: 3/5 It looked and tasted amazing, however the texture was really basic and the pasta was too firm. It was like chewing thick bubblegum.

It was so full of truffle aroma and flavour, (I don't remember if I had to pay for it but if I didn't) I'd pay for it!! The lobster risotto is also a safe choice! CONS: Entrees were bland. They ARE topped heavily in truffle slices but there was no flavour coming out of any of it. Truffle is what this restaurant is known for so having my truffle pasta taste like regular pasta is highkey upsetting??? To be honest though, if it weren't supposedly known for truffle, the food is actually good! Would I go back? Mmm. Probably not. 3/5

My friend booked Maison Eight for a girly dinner. Firstly, it's quite a walk from the MTR, Tst east…read moreend of observatory road, and walking from TST station rather than TST East station is closer. Food was delicious. I had the tuna as entree and it was an interesting combo with buckwheat noodles and sea urchin. For main I had the duckling. When it was served we had to ask twice to make sure it wasn't steak, because it very much looked like steak! It was delicious ... The meat was juicy and soft and great tasting. Dessert was nice, nothing spectacular though. Service was abit disappointing. No one bothered to serve me when I walked into the place, which was basically a bar with a restaurant on the side. I had to look around myself for my friends. We had a waitress who was a little bit curt in her manner and tried to sell us the most expensive thing on the menu from the word go. There was also a waiter who openly admitted it was his first day when asked for recommendations. However he was attentive and nice. The biggest disappointment though, was that the lounge became a very noisy, not very classy, bar after 10 pm ... A bit like the bars on Prat Avenue. The staff closed the partition between the bar and restaurant but the atmosphere was strange. A bit of a shame as the restaurant had a fantastic view, but the set up with the bar was quite strange.

Ambience: 5 stars Food: 3 stars…read moreService: 4 stars I went into this place with high expectations because the ambience was amazing, the views were great, and the overall feel of the place was great. For appetizers, my family and I ordered the salmon, tuna, and pigeon. Salmon was great, tuna was meh, and the pigeon was great too. Portions were really small. As for the mains, we ordered the $688 steak and foie gras as well as the pork chop. The pork chop was a disappointment because my first thought was "wow I make better pork chops". The steak and foie gras was better but not worth it. The steak was tender but almost tasteless. I asked for salt which made it better, but it was still not as good as I had hoped. For the price we paid, I'm sure there are better places out there. If you're looking for drinks at the bar, this is the place to go. If you're looking for good food, I'd go somewhere else.

Wah wah wah! Another hidden gem!…read more The food here is so good and there's quite a few unique dishes!! Seafood is very fresh and tasty. The deep fried tofu is bomb! Super silky and smooth, without a chewy skin. The salted egg yolk shrimps are coated evenly and the shells are edible! The mantis prawns are very juicy and fresh. I also loved the clams soup and the pork chops! Must haves: salted egg yolk shrimps, deep fried tofu, and mantis prawns. Prices are also very fair. Probably even cheaper than many other places that aren't as good! I saw a few michelin signs on the walls, but I'm not sure if it's referring to them or the alcohol they're promoting. But I do think their food is good enough to be Michelin!! It is quite a busy place so be sure to book a reservation!

On the track of looking into the sik siu culture in the university, similar cultures are also…read moreobserved in the dance community, but instead of going to places every time after rehearsals, the more legit reason for dancers to pig out would be after shows and performance. Also known as "Hing Gung" (慶功), it literally means to celebrate and to reward the hard work the crew put into the show. Much like sik siu, since the eaters are of high exertion, the food would most naturally be as trashy as can be~ Healthy eaters might want to hit the return button now as the foods may be despicably fattening. Deep fried is almost the golden rule for every trashy food, even in Hong Kong; the famous shrimp toast is actually minced shrimp smeared on a piece of bread and deep fried to crunchy perfection; and you got it, the piece of bread is soaked with grease. To make it even more damaging, mayonnaise is served on the side for you to dip the toast in. Damaging as it seems, but it is also very gratifying and is often the dish that is cleared the soonest. Hing Gung is often an event of the nights and there aren't a lot of joint cater to this batch of customers at this time of the day. I still remember walking into this shop with the waiter asking us to wait outside the shop at 11 in the evening, while they were trying hard to rearrange the tables to sit the 15 of us down. For a restaurant that is still crowded towards midnight, you know they must have done something right.
