I found this restaurant on a local food magazine. They have not mentioned about the prices on the menu. So i headed to that place to check it out myself. They priced it so high that I think i’ll not have another eat-out meal for this and the coming month. I’ll just tell you about the prices on their Belgian import specialty beer – around $80+ HKD each bottle. And the one I particularly ordered is a raspberry flavored beer. It’s good just not worth that much..and it’s only 25CL. That’s 250ml.
The Food
I wanted to order a set meal with their highly praised Sweet Potato Fries on OpenRice.com. So sad that they said we can’t do that even to add extra money…I ordered them separately instead. $40 HKD for a small basket of fries, it’s very well enough for 1 person. I kept munching and munching. It was great!
Sweet Potato Fries is Good. And must have.
I’ll not mention about their salad. Technically It cannot exist on their menu for the price we’re expecting. They drizzled balsamic vinegar like it’s free!! The bottom of the plate was all vinegar..
There’re gourmet burger restaurants in many parts of Hong Kong. Their prices are competitive, by all mean, I’m saying they’re competitive in their segment around $70+ HKD for just a burger. And in Brat, I ordered a Bourbon hotdog. The sausage is not particularly spiced or at least I didn’t taste any cajun sh|t in it. I had been to the Bourbon Street, New Orleans. I have a rough idea what their food tastes like. There’s a topping for the hotdog too, i picked sauteed peppers. Goddamn..it tasted like it’s only microwaved for 15 seconds. I really don’t want to complain too much. Sautee means on a pan with high heat, browning the food briefly to produce a caramelized surface and still tender and juicy on the inside, am I right? $80 bucks for it, hehe..i’ll just very well buy all the ingredients myself from grocery store.
The beer was comforting and I think their beer selection are extremely rare to find in HK.
The Price
Too high, not worth for what i’m paying.
The Place
Comfortable when it’s not crowded.
Verdict
Go there only for the sweet potato fries and get out.
