Recounting ... have been visiting Le Vow for the past 3 years whenever we are back in Hong Kong …read more.. change of management did not affect the overall experience, the kitchen remains. Stepping into the main hall immediately gives you a feeling you are not in any ordinary restaurant , as its open and bright with a vaulted high celling! Mainly focused on Cantonese cuisine with a twist, some modern, some traditional all executed with care & precision! Highlights .. Baked Crab .. fresh crab meat in a "creamy velouté" a typical Hong Kong invention where east meets west in melding flavours & cooking methods. Siu Mai with "onsen" quail egg ... shrimp & pork filling, tiny quail egg burst into your mouth with a warm yolk ... creamy umami explosion! Le Vow is also a very popular wedding venue, so make sure they are not closed for special banquet or events, best to call ahead! Ample "free" parking available .. ( there ticketing machines is out of service at the moment )

The place has insanely cheap meals and sets that are valid around the clock, with veggies thrown in for good fiber and even some yummy soy milk. Service is very curt but nothing less than you'd expect. The kitchen is right in front of where you eat so you can watch if you'd like, though there's nothing special. The place is very well lit and has an oddly cheerful-feeling, though it was pretty empty when I went. The food they serve is paired with some pretty spicy sauces and soups, adding a little bit of zing to your palette. There's where the soy milk comes in handy. They don't provide napkins, but for the killer rates they offer for their food, you can't really complain.

My friend suggested this place as she saw an online article for afternoon tea for two for HKD88…read more(about USD11). That's a great price, and I figure if even the food is awful, it's still not much more than two drinks. As others said, this place is somewhat a hidden gem. Its entrance is a narrow commercial building entrance on Nathan Road, right by Hillwood Road, closer to Jordan than TST. Located on the second floor, the big windows look out to verdant shades, totally blocking out the hustle and bustle outside. The price of afternoon tea has increased, but at HKD128, still a fair price if no longer a steal. We ordered flavored fresh-squeezed lemonades (or you can choose tea, coffee or soda), and our food arrived on a wooden board: two hamburger sliders, two salmon croissants, bacon wrapped asparagus, mac & cheese, BBQ fries and brownies. All is quite tasty except for the mac & cheese, which I find really bland. Applegreen bills itself as offering Californian cuisine. Their menu has lots of salad, and pasta ranging from carbonara to tequila lime chicken to mentaiko. There are also carne asado quesadilla, Jamaican chicken wings, jambalaya flatbread and more, just to show how international the menu is.

My last review of 2015 goes to one of my favorite not so hidden gems in Hong Kong! Located on the…read moreborder of Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui, Applegreen is one of my favorite lunch spots. For Hong Kong, this restaurant is quite spacious. I've always been able to grab a seat every time I came in the afternoon. I've tried many different dishes here and usually it doesn't disappoint! What I like the most about Applegreen is that they're not just a salad house. They have a pretty wide array of dishes and drinks on the menu. But of course, if you want to eat "healthier", they have plenty of salads to choose from. Most of their salad has "half" servings, which is actually misleading. Their half portion is enough for 2-3 people if you order it with a second or third dish. Their "full" serving of the salad is humongous. Probably more suited for 3-5 people. Just be warned! Also as a tip, if you order salad you can request FREE banana bread to go with it. For their other dishes, they have your typical pastas, but what I like is their Flatbreads. Think of it as a very thin crust pizza. Quite tasty and large in portion. They also have some more unique items from their varying breakfast menu, such as honey glazed bacon, eggs benedict, or other experimental items. As for their drinks, most of their tea-juices have unlimited refill! Surprisingly an uncommon thing in Hong Kong. Applegreen is moderately priced. But for the portion and quality, its a pretty good deal. Its also conveniently located by the Jordan MTR station.

Came by for a local breakfast the other day and it was decent. The restaurant is on the casual side…read morewith outdoor seating, very basic interior, along with waiter service. Most of the diners seemed to be blue collar. Started off with the satay beef soy sauce chicken Nissin ramen which was okay. The satay sauce for the beef was pretty strong and the beef quality was mediocre as it was slightly rough. The soy sauce chicken wings were barely passing as it didn't taste super fresh and was rather bland. The iced milk tea when it first came out was okay but was rather watered down after 10-15 minutes. Service was okay by the staff. They accept cash only. Parking might be challenging...

The menu is suspiciously wide with congee, doll noodles, BBQ, & steamed fish all in the same place so they do a decent job but not a great job. Proper outdoor seating is very nice.

Cash ONLY…read more Ironically, I had just returned from Seoul a week before coming here, but after walking through the entire food court, I somehow found myself standing in line waiting for bibimbap. At first I was a bit worried, because it seemed that I was the only one waiting at this particular food stall...but then twenty minutes in, a horde of people began lining up behind me. I guess I beat the dinner rush hour? There is one cook and I don't know how she manages it, but she somehow gets through each and every order on her own. She is so nice and gracious. I asked if I could get my bibimbap without pork and she kindly offered to give me an extra egg. There is a bit of a wait seeing as how she is the only one running the entire food stand, but she tries to serve everyone as quickly as possible. Of course, there is also the issue of hygiene but then again...this is Asia. If you eat at a food stand, don't expect the cook to clean the pots and pans every time they're cooking up a new dish. They just reuse the same pan, with the same old sauces left over from cooking the previous order, and the same spatula. There's nothing unusual about this. Regardless, pushing this thought to the back of my mind, my bibimbap turned out to be delicious. The hot sauce, the fried egg(s), the vegetables -- everything was put together nicely. Unlike the one I had in Seoul, this one had a Cantonese twist to it. Instead of providing kimchi, the cook added some picked squash and radishes. Still had that tangy spicy flavor, but just different texture. Comparably, I'd still have to say that the one I had in Korea was the best bibimbap by far. However, the one I had here was satisfying enough. 4 stars for service, 3 stars for quality of food. Based upon my observations of the huge line waiting at this place AND from my own experience of eating here, this place is decent if you're craving some Korean.
