When the waitress took my flank steak order, I noticed she didn't ask me how I'd liked it cooked. I told her I'd like it rare and she responded they only did it medium. While the snail ragout was interesting and tasted good, it lacked presentation. The mains however were quite disappointing. The flank steak was rubbery and even after chewing for a while, I couldn't break apart any piece I painstakingly sawed off the main piece and basically swallowed them whole. Also, my companions' eggplants, while not tough like my steak, were unbelievably salty, such that my companions could not finish their eggplant dish at all. In addition, throughout this time, no one refilled my glass of water, and although I did enjoy the dessert, I noticed my napkin had been taken and I wasn't given a replacement, so I had nothing to wipe my mouth with while eating the dessert! Later on they tried to serve us another set of desserts by accident.

I've been here twice, both times after coming back down from the Big Buddha and with HK weather being warm and humid, by the time you walk past here you will be craving a cold beer! There is an outdoor seating area which overlooks the courtyard between the Tung Chung MTR station and the Citigate shopping complex. We spent about 90 minutes sitting here last visit - just relaxing and soaking in the atmosphere and people watching. They had a poster for frozen slushy Asahi beer which turned out to be only frozen froth and is like eating bitter ice ... not particular tasty!

The closest I've gotten to a…read moreroaring good time late at night in TC has been by the Tung Chung Post Office at night when everyone picks up drinks from the much-loved Club 711, or 7Eleven to all the sober consumers. Starz Wine Bar doesn't stay open till late, so it doesn't hold a candle to the cockroach infested corner of 7/11, but it is a good place to go for post-work drinks with a friendly neighbour, or for some day-beers to go with your snacks before movie time. I'm a chicken wings fiend (who isn't in Hong Kong?) and the plate of wings here are pretty good. They go down well with your Stella, Hoegaarden, Guiness, or whatever your beer of choice is. As for bigger meals, I would recommend their laksa which - although not as good as my own ha ha - is pretty satisfying with prawns, bean sprouts, a boiled egg, fishcakes and tofu. Their sandwiches and burgers aren't half bad either. Ashamed to say it but although this IS a self-proclaimed wine bar, I haven't tried their wine list. I feel like a lot of people who go here are, like me, swept away by the (usually hot, sunny) day and prefer an ice cold beer in the open air to a heavy bottle of red. At least, that's what I've noticed from my people-watching here. Starz is NOT rowdy - rather: it's a really chill place to share a few drinks with your family or friends after a hard day's work.

There are more options in bottles. I really love how the place has two sides opening up to the streets, with no French window or door. A variety of tables and chairs provide comfortable lounging. Great to just sit there, watch all the hustle bustle outside while you slowly, quietly sip a beer. Or use their fast wifi to catch up on life. I don't like dingy dark pubs so this is great. I can sit here all day, except for my ambitious travel itinerary. My own grip is that the beer is rather pricey. A glass is about US$10, and a flight like US$23. I get it beer in Hong Kong is expensive compare to the U.S., and this is Central, but "ouch" says my wallet. I can recommend this place though, if you want to try some local beers.

However, fast forward to 2016 and now Hongkongers seem to be completely spoiled for choice (and I'm very jealous)!!! Craft Brew & Co was probably my favourite of the many craft beer bars we visited. As you'd expect with this type of bar its located in the hip and popular So-Ho area. You're gonna find plenty of bars selling bog standard lager around here, but not Craft Brew. These guys really stand out with their rather aggressive marketing of, "Craft not Crap" and you won't find any boring beers in here. To be honest these guys had some outstanding beer on when I was in. I was drinking their very own Kung Fu Lager and Summer Ale as I'd never seen them in the UK. Both were great examples of a modern, hoppy beer. They were super cold and refreshing, not cheap, (as you would expect) but totally worth it in my opinion. With its simple wooden tables and decoration, this is definitely like a craft beer bar you'd get in Europe. The music was pretty hit and miss (I mean Take That, really??) but it kinda made for a fun night. The staff in Craft Brew were really great and allowed me to sample several different beers before finding the ones I was after. This is a top destination for beer lovers, if I lived in HK I'd be in here a lot!

You can also expect an occasional rotation of the art. LOCATION It's not that obvious where their entrance is. My best tip is that there should be a nicely dressed guy standing outside.

Anything less than a SIX star would be unfair…read more Ok I knew there was some sort of French restaurant down the Ladder Street (of course they didn't have a proper sign there). I knew there's a restaurant on Hollywood Road that my friends had been recommending to me. I didn't put two and two together, which was a nice surprise when I was there. Stood at the front door for 30 seconds figuring out how to open the door, we found the button 5 seconds before it was too embarrassing. Pretty neat by the way, blended well with the rest of the street. Greeted by the staff leading down the stairs, "Obey the Giant" was there staring at you making you feel very excited already. Oh and there was a mini sculpture from Koons, a skull by Hirst, a wall print of Le Fifre by Manet (which I suspected to be from Banksy), a graffiti by André, and the Princess Peach by The Invader. A few calligraphy graffiti by Tsang Tsou Choi 曾灶財 even. If you love arts, you will fall in love with this place already. You'd have noticed how the restaurant and the menu were inspired by La Compagnie Generale Francaise de Tramway, the original company resided at this very same address at 1930s. They didn't oversell it though, so it was a nice touch to have. We had a 5 course dinner menu to share and a daily special. Foie gras, slow-cooked eggs with crab cake, red snapper, etc. They were all way too good but as they keep rotating the dishes, it wouldn't be the most helpful telling you how they tasted anyway. Trust your servers' recommendations, if anything helps. (Looking back I don't even think I've ever rated any restaurant six stars just because of the food). What was worth the extra start was service here, which was top notch to say the least. Both myself and my partner noted that they had two different servers to recommend to us the food and the wine respectively, and each of the dishes was served by a different server. We kept looking at the arts around us during the dinner, and a server came by and offered to give us a short intro to each of the arts (which we eventually didn't have the time, but that's beyond the point). We also casually chatted up with the last server who served us the dessert. He asked if it's any occasion we chose to have a dinner here, and we answered, "Yeah, not a biggie but just a cheeky celebration of [something personal]." He later, as a surprise, gave us extra set of sweeties with a candle and the "Happy [something personal]!" written on the dish. We went over the moon. Will definitely come back, maybe to try their branch some time. (And if the manager sees this review, please let me know if Le Fifre was Banksy's work!)

Lobster Bar is special. Not only is it located in Island Shangri-La hotel (which screams high end customer service), but Lobster Bar takes unique great pride in their establishment as a Taj Mahal of crafted cocktails in Hong Kong. A friend of mine back in Las Vegas told me that this bar was on a Top 10 list she recently read about. Being a full time martini drinker who takes a vacation from my beverage of choice in the summer time, I was blown away by my experience with their crafted cocktails at Lobster Bar last night. The ambiance of the Lobster Bar that spills into the well-appointed Lobster Grill is welcoming. Light blues, detailed stained glass windows, hard woods, maroons, great lighting...everything is there to enjoy your time at the bar or in one of their comfy couches. After ordering our two drinks, be prepared for a little wait time. Not because the bartender is busy with throngs of customers, but because of the time, care and preparation that goes into making these special concoctions. Really quite special a special craft. We enjoyed a Genever Smash and a Lemon Sherbet Bishop. Order a drink, take a sip and then ask to relook at the drink menu to see the ingredients. The ingredients and flavors come to life when you see them and then consume them at the same time. I realize that booze is a time old tradition shared by millions across the world. Lobster Bar is special and a twist to this tradition. You can get a drink anywhere, but do yourself a favor and go to Lobster Bar and order one of their crafted cocktails. It will be a drink you will not soon forget!
