It doesn't take itself seriously (I mean, their craft beer list on the wall includes a height chart that has both world leaders and dictators' heights) and the bartender that evening knew how to chat us up and keep us off our phones. Cocktails are strong and they all cost $100HK, which makes everything easy peasy lemon squeezy. Since our table became available 50 minutes earlier than expected, we were unfortunately forced to down our drinks quickly so we could get our spot. What a way to get a buzz ASAP! Next time, we'll stay a little longer and perhaps try their beer selection!

I was a little bummed out by the beer selection, which included HK breweries but very light beers. I was also not particularly jazzed about the whiskey selection, though the shelves include the classics. This bar definitely seemed like an ex pat bar with large work groups hanging out after the work day. The space is small, so with large groups in the space, it was a bit hard to hear each other. The bartender on this given Wednesday - I missed his name - was friendly. He was new to HK so didn't have many recommendations, but he's a good conversationalist.

My coworkers and I have a tradition of coming here to spend our hard earned money on pricy food. On one occasion I simply ordered an appetizer: I tried steak tartare for the first time here, and became a fan. Being the opportunistic people that we are however, our main draw to this place are its daily special discounts. My first time dining here was on Wagyu Wednesday, an awesome discount for getting the Wagyu burger on a Wednesday. Mussels Monday (all-you-can-eat mussels of different flavors, on a Monday) is my most recent Frites endeavor. Be careful with mussels, especially if they're all-you-can-eat. In my childhood I had read about the dangers of eating bad mussels (mussels that don't open after cooking), but I mostly ignored them this time around and faced the repercussions the next day. It wasn't too bad for me, but I am taking a break from mussels for a bit. The Laksa Mussels were notably delicious. My coworker and I were particularly interested in the unlimited steak offer they had for the weekend, named "Strip Night". We wanted to challenge ourselves to getting our money's worth of meat, and possibly risked developing heart disease in the process, but in the end it was well worth the experience. As with any all-you-can-eat situation, the more food that we had already eaten, the less active the service staff were in trying to help us, i.e. they often stopped looking in our general direction, pretending to not see us. I understand their tactics: I am also always looking to save money, which is why I came to their all-you-can-eat deal nights. I still got what I wanted, as there is no time limit per se (except during the period of time in Hong Kong when dining-in was banned after 6PM). The steaks were delicious, and I was able to experiment with eating different cooking temperatures of steak. No more well done steaks for me!

    Ever since Hong Kong's colonial days, Western foods have had their dominant presence in the food…read morescenes in the financial and tourist districts, such as the Central District, Wanchai, Causeway Bay and Tsim Tsa Tsui (TST). They cater to locals and tourists, as well as the constantly growing expat population. So I was not one bit surprised when I saw a Belgian restaurant in the food section of Causeway Centre, across from the Wanchai Ferry Pier and next to the Sun Hung Kai Financial Building. It's a somewhat trendy place with an European ambience, and upon entering, I found that the language spoken by the receptionists and servers was English and not Chinese. (For those of you who have never been to HK or China, this means that your wallet will be emptied but your stomach will not be full.) Set lunches with their at best mediocre selections run about USD30, which is pretty steep even in the expensive financial districts in HK. If you want to order a la carte, items are around USD 30 - 40, although steak frites will set you back about $50. Bear in mind that this is not upscale as in Morton's or Ruth Chris. This is more like a Yard House kind of place. SCHNITZEL AND FRITES: It's a popular European dish which is a thin pork cutlet that is tenderized, coated with bread crumbs and deep fried. The bread crumb coating ewas light and crispy; the meat was tender, flavorful and yummy. The frites (fries in English) were less impressive though. There were literally numerous Belgian Fries stalls, carts, and kiosks wherever we went when we were in Brussels and we loved Belgian fries. The most distinct difference is that the potatoes are not soft and starchy, and they are fried twice. Sorry... but the fries here tasted nowhere near those in the streets of Brussels. THE GOOD WIFE SAUSAGE: It was an interesting looking sausage that was in the form of a coil. Although I've tried various sausages in Brussels, I never had the opportunity to taste this particular variation. It looked and tasted like a "Boudin" sausage which is typically made with pork and is lighter in color. I liked the texture and its taste; and if you are an European sausage fan, you'll probably like this. The gravy was tasty with a strong aroma of onion, but I was hoping for a rich gravy with an authentic Flemish dark beer flavor. The mash was good, but nothing to write home about, especially at these prices.

There is great open seating and the arrangement has a big community feel. The menu is pretty straightforward with a large beer selection and typical pub fare available. Steak and frites were a popular choice as well as the mussels. They have many sauce options and the mussels are all served in steam pots with a side of really srunchu bread. I ordered them house style and they were prepared with cream garlic and chives. The half order was very large and very satisfying. My sister ordered the chicken parm and it was huge! Big enough for two to share certainly. The service here was excellent and I would return!

With a playgound and kids trucks, this place is a paradise for kids. Luckiy it's better on a Sunday night tonight, where only a few families were having dinner and around 10 kids running around (still tolerable). The food was suprisingly good. The crab starter was interesting, a bit spicy and very refreshing. We have ordered a ribs stew with truffle mashed potato, which was very yummy. The wife's sausage was good too but we were already stuffed. Satisfying overall.

TST has managed to see the opening of several German establishments over last few years, so why not a few more? 尖東 has effectively become a western melting pot of establishments with waterfront views and rapidly pricey area. Overall, Brotzeit surprised me. Decent beers on tap, much of which are largely German and epic platters that will satiate any big eater, and much like the rest of their neighbors: a revamped interior with indoor and outdoor spaces. Be it a casual drink meetup or an alternative dinner option, this place just works. The staff is comprised of mainly local folks with a good command of English. As expected, their German is virtually non-existent, save for a few beer names and their prominent dishes. Overall, they're efficient and friendly, which is as much as one can ask for in HK. Western fare will not come cheap and the same applies here. The bathrooms are two floors up in the TST Center and the views of Hong Kong are somewhat obscured by the highway barricades, but it won't diminish a good weather night. Come thirsty and preferably with good company.

    OK this place gets major kudos for the waiter who informed us how to get a free Germain beer mug (…read morethe huge good quality ones, that typically will cost a few bucks)...needless to say our restaurant neighbors weren't pleased as their waiter didn't follow suit and I should add it was Oktoberfest so I don't think this practice is typical. I'm not really a fan of Germain sausages and such so we ordered a sampler, which was just OK, but the beer was tasty and at that moment that's all that mattered
