This place was pretty fancy for lunch, but of course it's all about the location, location, location. It's a very intimate and provides its guest with enough room to have a private conversation. We started out with the Spanish tortilla omelette. Which was perfectly cooked. The Omelette had a lot of flavors and is best enjoyed hot. We also go the crispy suckling pig, which was huge. It's hard to share this with two people, might be best to share it with 3 or 4 people. Now comes the dish of the century, yes i said century! The Hokkaido Sea Urchin tagliolini. This dish was out of this world! It wasn't too heavy and had to perfect amount of sauce and uni to make it such an addicting dish. We ended up getting two of this because we regretted sharing the dish. Most uni dishes I've had in the states were either too heavy or were too bland, but this was just truly amazing! If only I can grab it to-go and bring it with me on my flight back. For dessert they had the caramelized apple tarte tatin. It was a little on the sweet side, so we weren't able to finish it. But adding the vanilla ice cream made it better. Overall,I would return to this place, but next time, i'm going to order at least three plates of the Hokkiado Sea Urchin Tagliolini, or MORE!

NEW HIP BAR ALERT!…read more Ever since Hong Kong jumped on the "overpriced premium craft cocktail" bandwagon, I can't get enough of it! Too bad my wallet hates it. From Quinary to The Woods, Envoy to Baobei, this is one of the best ones. Also commending $150~ a drink. Right across from Tsui Wah, you don't have to PK down LKF to get your munchies anymore. Conveniently in the same building as Honi Honi and close to MTR exit D, this place will only get more and more packed. There is a large bar area where the bartenders work their magic and various couches, and tables that can be moved to accomodate larger parties. The décor did not wow me, it's more of a high-end no-frills type of place; it's comfortable while exuding class. Fortunately, even with the high industrial ceilings, the noise was kept at a moderate level. Their cocktail menu is small but it's quality, not quantity! The presentation of the drinks are rather understated (you may not be able to tell its crafted by a mixologist without taking a sip) its flavours are refined and superior to its more ostentatious counterparts (aka Quinary and Envoy) Every cocktail I got seemed to be better than the previous one, and the alcohol flavour is skillfull masked by its infusion! This was truly a place where you can close your eyes and pick any cocktail and it will come out tasting good, albeit strange or different. Not a place where you are drinking syrup-water. I'm not sure if they change their selections from time to time but here were the ones I tried and also highly recommend: THE CORIANDER $140 As a lover of coriander and hater of ginger, I was blessed with a subtle ginger taste. It's somewhat herbal and refreshing. I didn't find the coriander taste to be that distinct. JALAPENO $160 Can't take the heat? You control the amount of jalapeno put in your drink. I'm not a wuss so I dumped the whole thing in for the extra kick. Best jalapeno drink ever! MARMALADE $150 Don't underestimate this jam jar sized drink. It's flavourful and packs a good punch of alcohol in. If you down this or you may just start slurring sooner than you expect! It's a cognac based, and while I'm usually not a fan, this was truly a bitter sweet drink. SMOKEY JOE $180 An old-fashion drinker? Whisky connoisseur? Manhattan sipper? Look no farther. I'm not big on whisky so I only had a sip, but it's a very solid drink (Or so I've been told). BEETROOT $140 This was a sweet drink, not a beetroot fan but it's one of those fruity sweet drinks that most girls love. I could not discern the beetroot from this. GIN & TONIC TEA $130 Don't like the taste of alcohol, this drink is made for you! It's a more typical cocktail but it's so good, you think you're drinking a mocktail. Infused with passionfruit, the sweetness is not overpowering like what you get at upstairs café. Gin is one of the most tasteless alcohol as well, so be careful if you're a one shot wonder! I'm not actually an alcoholic and I did not actually order all those (I only had 3 to myself). After 3, I had a real good buzz. SPAM FRIES $90 Steep, a bit too salty but oh so good! Get this to share, they literally chop up a can of spam (more like half a can) and deep-fry it. Pair with their sriracha Mayo, yum! *** Tips: ALL cocktails are good! Cute female waitress too ;) This is the place to be! Favourites: Quality (albeit overpriced) cocktails Meh: There's not much of a view Last words: Will I come back? HELL YES!

It offers a little, comfortable oasis in the middle of the busy Causeway Bay crowd, and even though it's definitely a little on the pricier end for a lunch, the food is yummy and I came away super satisfied. APPETIZER BAR: A good selection of salads, as well as cocktail shrimp and clams. Was a little too excited when filling my plate and was partially full by the time I'm finished with this course! SOUP: It is served in the tiniest (and cutest) cup ever (think an espresso cup, but smaller), but the creamy mushroom soup in it was packed full of flavor. Hits the spot transitioning from the cold appetizers to the main course. MAIN: I got the grilled chicken breast - the portion size is on the small side, but perfect considering the plentiful appetizer buffet bar and the upcoming promise of unlimited desserts from the buffet table. Each component of the dish was yummy - chicken was juicy, mashed potatoes absolutely creamy, and vegetables roasted perfectly. DESSERT BAR: A pretty decent selection, with highlights being this nutty, sweet chocolate wedge and the hokkaido milk pudding. They have 2-3 other desserts as well as a small selection of fruit.

I gotta say I absolutely love the location. It's situated in a discreet spot on an uphill slope…read morethat was a good 15-minute walk from the central MTR. The journey from the MTR to Mo Bros was a stunning window into Hong Kong - from the office ladies crowding the central streets to the central mid-levels escalators offering great views into the little apartments and the many bars and restaurants welcoming you with open arms from the lopsided streets. Ok enough about the beauty that is Hong Kong. Now onto the food: We ordered about five dishes (not including dessert) for a group of seven girls who don't normally eat that much, but I think it was too little since the portions are on the smaller end. The bruschetta looked so aesthetically pleasing and the taste was wonderful too. I wanted seconds but decided it was best to save my stomach for the other dishes, including the truffle risotto and carbonara pasta. Unfortunately it's been over a year since my visit so I don't quite remember what I thought about those dishes. For dessert, we got the cannolis and tiramisu. I've never been a big fan of cannolis so I didn't really care. On the other hand, I have just developed a newfound appreciation for tiramisus so I was excited to try Mo Bro's. It wasn't as life changing as ciao Chow's but it tasted decent!

The food is traditional Italian. It's an amazing happy hour spot because it's open air and you can see the sunset. Everyone hangs out and they pass around free appetizers.

La Piola is an Italian restaurant and bar based at the end of Lyndhurst terrace. More specifically,…read moreit specialises in cuisine from Piedmont, a region in the North of Italy. The focus of La Piola is to introduce HK to the concept of Piedmont food and culture, and they do a pretty good job of it. The venue is very pleasant and welcoming. Of all the times I have been there, I think I have only ever eaten downstairs in the bar dining room, which is small, but with only a few tables, and opens out on to Lyndhurst Terrace. The upstairs dining room (which you pass through from downstairs en-route to the bathroom), is again small, and perhaps a little more "cosy". They do have an open kitchen, so you can see the chefs at work. The staff are wonderfully nice, and pretty efficient. They are certainly at the better end of the Hong kong service sector. So to the food, yummers! It is great, so tasty, and really well cooked, and very consistent (I'm starting to always have the same dish now!). I always have the agnolotti filled with castelmagno cheese, and cooked in a butter and sage sauce, all served in baked "parmigiano" basket. It's so cheesy! My only gripe is that the portions are small, and the cost a bit toppy for my liking. A small starter of burrata cheese and tomatoes is HKD170, and the agnolotti is HKD240, for a dish about the size of my fist. Yes, it's great food, but it's so pricey for what you get! By all means give it a go. Try and get a seat upstairs, as the bar noisy (especially on Friday night) can be a but irritating. And also give the wines a go, again pricey, but some very nice varieties.

Went with my friend and we thought it was alright…read more We might have ordered the wrong things though. Burrata was yum! It was a good redemption for me since I had burrata-fail at Pici (Central location) a few nights earlier. Cauliflower was meh - too greasy. Bone Marrow was yum. They might have needed another server when they are packed. Service was fine. A bit silly to over the wooden cutlery box when it only had 2 sets for us. You might as well set the table. Will likely come back to try other things on the menu.

I came to FoFo for their Sunday brunch. The brunch set will set up back 368 hkd before service…read morecharge. The set comes with an appetizer, two tapas, a main, dessert and tea or coffee. I sometimes will not be full after eating at a Spanish restaurant but that isn't the case here. My four star rating is based on the following: Food: 4 stars Environment: 5 stars Service: 3.5 stars Value: 4 stars Recommendations: 1) ham, truffle sandwich, 2) charcuterie, 3) tomato bread, 4) onsen egg w/chorizo The meal was really strong at the beginning. We had the charcuterie board and oysters for the appetizers. The cold cuts were nice and thin packed with flavor and not too salty. The tomato bread that it was paired with was really simple and delicious. I also really enjoyed the oysters. The best part of the meal was the tapas portion. They do their own version of migas where instead of chunks of potato they use crispy potato strips and replace the poached egg with an onsen egg. This disease really good and I would definitely order this again. My favorite part of the meal was the ham and truffle sandwich. I'm a sucker for black truffle and the truffle really shines through here. The cheese was melted nicely and the bread was nicely toasted. This hits all the notes I look for in a sandwich. The fried white bait was also good. Of the tapas this was my least favorite but it was still tasty. These little fried fishes paired really nicely with the aioli and would be a nice complement to a beer or alcoholic beverage. The mains were ok and not as good as the tapas. We had the sea bass and the pork. Of the two the sea bass was better. It had a nice crispy skin and the dill and onions paired nicely. The sauce it came with I didn't like too much. Next time I think I will pay the extra 40 hkd to upgrade to the beef. We had the lemon parfait and the churros for dessert and both were pretty good but not great. I was a bit disappointed with the churros. They didn't come out hot and weren't as crispy as I would like. The chocolate sauce it came with was good and helped make up for the churro. The lemon parfait was different from what I expected. It was more like a lemon cake. It was nice and tart and the cookie crumbs it came with gave a nice sweetness and crunch to contrast the texture of the parfait. All in all I would definitely come back. At a minimum for happy hour to have some tapas and cocktails.

This review is for the rooftop only, not the restaurant itself…read more The views and happy hour were what drew me. I love rooftop bars and am on an unofficial quest to visit them all. I can say that FoFo's rooftop bar is solidly...middling. The happy hour deals were middling: 30% off house wine, beer, and sangria. I tried several reds before settling instead on a glass of prosecco which better fit the warm air. The reds were fine but nothing special. The prosecco was nice; dry and light. My buddy had the red sangria, which tasted like sweet fruit punch, almost like an Xmas drink. The views were middling: from Lan Kwai Fong sweeping east across Central and Admiralty into the hills above the Zoological and Botanical Gardens. No stunning harbour views or dizzying heights, but totally enjoyable nonetheless. Perhaps improved by the surrounding office windows which become fishbowls for observation at a certain evening hour. The atmosphere was superb! Just kidding. It too was middling. There was a nice breeze blowing across the roof, but the decor was strange - it was very dark and there were little orb lamps that just hadn't been turned on. The tables and chairs seemed to be lacking something, whether they just needed a good wipe down or their matching cushions were gone. And the whole place gave off the air of being a bit forgotten and empty, parts of the bar covered in plastic wrap and only one lonely server inattentively serving because his phone was more interesting than the clientele. Not sure if I'll be back.

Café 360 is an Americanized Western café that serves fusion-type dishes. Located in Dragon Centre…read morein Sham Shui Po, Café 360's menu and food offerings certainly draw in a crowd. I would say that the interior (and cute exterior) is very typical to what you'd see in the hip, trendy LA Asian American cafés - pretty quotes on the wall, cute decorations, dim lighting. This is definitely a good date place - and you can roam the mall after! I came with my family during their afternoon teatime, thinking that there would be some specials offered around 2 PM. I think they had a lunchtime special, so even at 2 PM, the restaurant was packed with customers and guests waiting for a seat. After you're seated at a table, you have to go to the front counter to order your food. You're given a number, and when the food is ready the waiter/waitress will serve the food to your table. Since it's Hong Kong and you can split dishes without anybody really caring, we decided to order fewer items to be shared amongst ourselves and eat elsewhere if we were still hungry. Porcini rice with pork and kimchi in stone pot: $46 HKD and with an additional $12 HKD, we were able to add on a puff pastry soup. I have to say that the rice was really good. Very similar to the Chinese sausage in a stone pot, except this rice had flavoring and ingredients to it. Along with the pork belly and kimchi - flavoring of everything was on point, and it definitely filled us up. Cream of mushroom puff pastry soup: When the waitress brought our soup to us, one of them was slightly burnt, and without us even commenting, she said that she was going to ask the chef to remake a new one for us. I don't think we would have really minded, but that was really nice of her. The soup is definitely something you must try! Rich flavoring of mushroom in a creamy broth. The puff pastry was light and flaky, with really good flavor. As you break into the puff pastry, some of it drops into the soup so you get a crispy texture as you drink the creamy soup. I really liked it. Spaghetti Bolognese with puff pastry soup: This set lunch combination was $56 HKD or roughly $8 USD. I thought it was fairly priced, since it came with the puff pastry soup. The spaghetti wasn't too unique. Tasted very similar to how my mom cooks her spaghetti, except it was slightly sweeter. I probably wouldn't recommend ordering this dish if you're looking for something unique or different to try. Hot tea and hot milk tea - nothing special. The hot milk tea was pretty strong, but not as smooth as some of the other places I've tried. tl;dr - Overall, a really cute place to go for lunch or brunch. They also serve waffles and breakfast items. I really like the interior design of the place. The workers are super nice and friendly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice place for brunch!
