comments
very good! the 芝士腸熱狗 + 車打芝士 + 洋蔥 + bbq sauce would have been better if the extra cheddar flavour wasn't lost in the onions. good quality juicy 芝士腸. mmm. and they use flavoursome cheddar as topping (not that tasteless "cheddar" they use at dan ryan's). hot chips, although brownie points awarded for being crinkle cut, were disappointing. not crispy or tasty enough. the fact that this place offers bbq sauce makes it a winner. will be back to try out their mash (sold out today).

recommended by irene. r says that this is the best sea urchin in hk. the best. the BEST!!! the filling in their hand rolls goes right to the base of the cone. the 海膽炒飯 (although a bit pricey at $120) is so delicious, although the 海膽 flavour is lost in the goodness of the fried rice, overall this dish is so good it may make you tear up! would suggest asking for the 海膽 to be put on top of the rice rather than mixed in with it. all sashimi is extremely fresh. no credit cards. photos to follow.

the BEST lemon chicken IN THE WORLD

comments
recommended by irene. ok, so it may be a bit pricey for lemon chicken, but since we believe that it is the best in the world, it is definitely worth ordering (again and again). the chicken is very tender and lemon sauce is unbelievably delicious! the 蛋白炒鮮奶 (with甜醋) is also super yummy. all other dishes although not exceptional are all above average. fantastic choice for a garp soong 食飯 dinner. yumcha is also very good.

b's favourite casual dining café in hk. pasta cooked perfectly & flavour is just right. crunch cake is one of the best in hk (if not the best), and perfect when accompanied with the rose lychee tea. great environment for a relaxing lunch. weekday lunch bookings need to be made weeks in advance (probably because they can only fit about 10-15 people per sitting). photos to follow.

comments
absolutely divine. b's favourites are the chocolate & strawberry pavlova (pavlova with chocolate inside! but could be done without the chardonnay gelee which is very strong) and sift chocolate cake the special feature being its many textures created by the layers of valhrona chocolate sour cream cake between layers of jivara cremeux, praline crunch topped with 72% araguani chocolate ganache (i.e. it tastes superb). cupcakes are also excellent, but since you can buy them from the patisserie, its best to try the desserts only available at this dessert bar.

* not always available here, but available for purchase at Sift Patisserie (51 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, HK) open 12:30pm-8pm (closed Mondays)
