A cozy little restaurant nestled within one of Hong Kong's busiest districts, Rustico is a Spanish…read morerestaurant that offers reasonably good value to its diners. They serve a mean carpaccio with flakes of Parmesan and an olive oil glaze. Their paella was great too, it was al dente and tasted like the sea (in a good way), but what really stole the show was their suckling pig. Underneath the light, crispy skin was the tender and succulent pork leg, well seasoned, and smooth, with enough to share between two. Also worthy of mention are their pecan pies, which while conservatively portioned are surprisingly rich for Hong Kong standards, and pleasantly nutty. I should also add that they have a coffee here that's good enough to have black.

As suggested by the name, you'll be welcomed by a rustic interior complete with brick walls, wooden cabinets, and ceramic jugs lined along the walls. A nice and chill environment to relax after some hectic shopping. The beef carpaccio and arugula salad was exceptional! Our waiter informed us it's made from angus beef tenderloin, hence no annoying tendons or chewy bits, and we get juicy meaty bits of goodness every bite. The roasted half chicken was also above average. The roast was kept moist on the inside and crispy on the out, even for the breast which is easy to overcook, it was handled decently. Would I recommend it? Definitely!

If you can't rough it, can't speak Cantonese, or don't read Chinese, you might have a problem here…read more It is also not easily accessible by any public transportation, so you'll have to take the MTR out to the New Territories, then catch a cab to the spot. The restaurant is a "dai pai dong" style eatery. There is outside and inside seating, but it's not comfortable. You'll be sitting in a crowded atmosphere, often on stools, and things will be discombobulated. However, if you can get past this, you'll enjoy some delicious Chiu Chow food. I am a huge fan of Chiu Chow cuisine, especially since we don't get it in the US. Whenever I'm in HK, I make sure that I get my fill of it. At "Sang Cheong" -- direct translation of the Chinese name 生昌, you'll get authentic and traditional Chiu Chow dishes. My favorite is usually the crab and prawn balls which are fried to perfection and served with a sweet dipping sauce. Check out the mullet which is served at room temperature with a pungent bean paste dipping sauce. On the night of our visit, they had a soup laden with pickled sour mustard greens, pig intestines, pig ears and pork. There is an abundance of white pepper to kill the gamey taste from the innards. I don't mind the soup, but I can't eat the intestines. Fried Bombay Duck is a type of fish which has the texture of tofu. The flesh is soft and I absolutely love it. The Chinese name for this fish is "nine stomach fish" 九肚魚 and it is the first time I've ever eaten it. I'm hooked!! It is prepared salt & pepper style. Delicious! Roast Goose is the most typical of Chiu Chow dishes and the one here is decent. Dip into the vinegar! Food is good, and it's a great local experience!

Wow, if it weren't for the sign in the front -- nothing about this place (small restaurant, sticky…read moretables, lack of air conditioning, etc.) would really indicate that this is one of the best places around to go for Chiu Chow cuisine, especially deliciously prepared seafood (even better than most dishes you'll find at fancier banquet restaurants). This is all for unbelievably reasonable prices for the portion size and quality you're getting. The non-seafood dishes are also prepared deliciously as well, but definitely try all the different types of fish, shrimp, scallops, jellyfish, and other highly recommended items (from their advertisement in the front) first.

You can easily spot this café as this is the only one have people waiting for seats outside. They do not accept any reservations so my friend went there early to try to get a seat. She waited for 15 mins and we got in. Décor is amazing. This is about the owner love to travel so open a shop with all the décor of post card, books and souvenirs all around the world. They do not have a wide selection of menu but all the price are very reasonable. For $100, you can have a soup and main. And all the dishes there is around $100 and the portion is very big enough for 2 people. We ordered 2 sets(fish and fries & Roasted rice with cream sauce), and 2 al carte from the menu (snacks platter & assorted steak). Definitely recommend the fish and fries, the fish are fried perfectly, and size are at least 20cm by 10 cm! We are all impressed with this great deal! And the snack flatter are in great portion(at least 20 pieces of everything) and we got all very excited. Even though it's all sausages, potatoes fedges, onion rings, deep fried curry, stuffed Crab Claw and it's out of my healthy rating, this is just very nicely plated and great taste. I saved some space for dessert and ordered waffle with green tea ice-cream, waffle are freshly made and yes, I do love it. The bill is only $750 for 4 and I am so full after all!

The only thing I would say about this is that it was very noisy, which was to be expected! And it was lovely to see the kids playing on the beach, but if you were after a quieter affair maybe best to visit this lovely park island restaurant on a weeknight, instead of at the weekend. Food was lovely, modern Italian food. Very refreshing and light after some of the heavy stodgy Italian food available in Hong Kong. I had the Grilled Chicken and Aubergine Salad with Chickpeas, which was delicious! My colleague had the Italian pizza which was very authentic and had a crispy thin base; which all the pizzas comes like here. So if you like deep pan pizzas, best to give them a miss here! I would definitely return (maybe on a less noisy weekday evening!) and try a risotto or a pasta.

Reservations are a good idea for big parties.

Pizzas are big, very thin crust, and it's got great views and a chance for the kids to run around and play. A+.

Anyways so THIS place is one of the food stalls and they do Indonesian satay skewers. As of my last visit, the prices are: - beef skewer $12 - chicken skewer $11 - pork neck skewer $11 - pork skewer $11 - beef balls on a stick $13 - I think fish balls on a stick $13 - 1 chicken wing on a stick $14 - red, sliced sausages $5 Chicken steak is $29, you can order additional rice on the side and make it a dinner. It's REALLY REALLY delicious. They also make this yellow, fried rice (sorry "yellow" fried rice?? lol) and I'm told it's super delicious. THE SATAY ON SKEWERS IS REALLY REALLY GOOD.

Our group divided across the restaurant for a solid thirty minutes so we could hawk around and scout for a table. The fans distributed across the location made the weather bearable. Plastic chairs, clear plastic table cloth. Definitely wash your dishes once more just to play it safe - Timing: because of the sheer popularity of this place, I was already full by the time they started bringing our 4th and 5th dishes as it took about 30+ minutes for it to come out. I had already filled up on the first 3. Don't be surprised if you have to wait 45+ min for a table on busy weekend evenings.

Their tofu egg stew with rice was decent. Their beef ramen wasn't bad but why did they serve lukewarm ramen!? I was surprised their marinated egg was done really well and I enjoyed it a lot! Their seafood cream soup was a joke. Their cornstarch to ingredients ratio was like 50:1. I could taste the starchy flavor and maybe they used a little milk, who knows, but I didn't taste any cream at all. Lobster bisque can be missed as well. So yeah, I liked their piping hot tofu stew and their ramen but only if they serve it hot next time. But I don't bother coming back to try other stuff...
