A decently decorated private party room for rental. Spacious enough to hold a party for 80+ people…read moreprobably (my own estimation - better check with venue) if not more... it also has an outdoor section with BBQ facilities. Friend booked this place as we want some privacy (as we can be very noisy...) and one of our friends would like to bring her dog. One can discuss with the venue for the preferred catering option and we asked the venue to provide the steam seafood congee pot. Was starving so didn't take any pictures of the food lol. But as far as I remembered we had shrimp, geoduck, razor clam, giant grouper, clam... and of course the congee in the end. All you can drink soft drinks and Haizhu beer (?) are available as well which is quite a good deal for HK$285 per head

Tian and Di are actually two separate function rooms inside the Landmark Mandarin Oriental. Tian is…read morea larger space that caters to a bigger reception. I was here for a press event with a Hollywood celebrity because on my own, I wouldn't be able to afford to rent out the venue as it is the most exclusive function room in town. First off, this function room was hard to find. When I was inside the hotel, the staff didn't understand when I said I needed to go to "Tian and Di", and instead directed me to the hotel room elevators. At some point, I was thinking "does this place even exist?" because no one knew how to get there. I walked around for about 15 minutes and saw that it was on the same floor as Amber (consistently ranked the best restaurant in the city), so I just popped on an elevator and press the 7th floor. Getting off the elevator, I took a peek at Amber to my right, knowing that I would have to blow serious dough just to afford an appetizer there. Upon entering the venue, I sensed the intimate nature and privacy of the place. It was really quiet, classy, and exuded luxury like no other function room that I've been to. The staff in charge of tea and confections were highly trained, moved fast, and were rarely seen as they seem to blend with the surroundings. The carpet was exquisitely velvet and the chair comfy as a cloud. As I sat down, I received the press release for the event and the rundown, which they happily gave to me in Chinese while a woman who sat next to me had both the English and Chinese version. Overall, if you've got the greens to book Tian, Di or both(!), go right ahead as the venue is truly stellar and totally discrete. I find this place perfect for high-level corporate meetings and exclusive gatherings.

The mood is decidedly chill and relaxed, its lighting a welcoming orange glow which is a stark contrast from the garish fluorescent lighting throughout the sasa store. One would think that because of the shop within a shop concept this restaurant wouldn't be a top-of-mind choice for lunch but boy was I glad I made reservations. The menu offers simple bistro fare with a few platters to share- would be ideal for the happy hour crowd, I suppose. Food is simple and quite tasty, portions are generous. This restaurant is fast becoming my first choice to entertaining my fellow ladies who lunch. Bottomline: chicken quesadilla, the limonate (with refreshing mint), onion soup and the fact that you can usually still get a table at 1pm in causeway bay without booking.

Cost me 40$HKD but I was wired! At another time we had a salad and a sandwich. I can't remember what it tasted like, which makes me think that it probably wasn't memorable. Sorry friends! I guess this is all I can say about that.

However, they bake fantastic bread - we'll almost always buy groceries at Taste, but bread at Stanley Cave. Their crepes are delicious, pastries are amazing, and their sandwiches are pretty decent.
