My daughter wanted beef noodle soup and chose Explorer's Club for lunch. I was surprised to find that it was semi-buffet (you choose an entree and then can go to the buffet for appetizers and dessert), so lunch was more expensive than I was expecting ($655 HKD for two people, including service).
For starters, they had a fairly big selection of items - salad bar, cold cuts, fried chicken, and international fare like masala lotus root with potato, carrot and cashew and pork floss salted egg yolk sauce with purple sweet potato. Nothing was particularly good, but I was glad to at least get some veggies in the salad bar.
We both selected the beef noodle soup for our entree. I was a disappointed by the lackluster broth and the beef was not as tender as I had hoped.
There were a ton of desserts with international flavors - Russian honey cake, Egyptian Earl Grey tea cheesecake). Normally I would have been excited to eat as many desserts as possible, but while they looked pretty, they failed to dazzle. At least there was fresh fruit an orange juice available.
I just saw that the semi-buffet option is no longer being offered at lunch, only for dinner. At least the Explorer's Club is a nice place to sit and escape the hustle and bustle of the park. read more
