Catching up with Peggy and Wing at a nice Italian Restaurant near where we used to live.

A nice hidden gem in Mid-level, Mosque Junction can be hard to find.

A great restaurant with excellent service and a chef of 3 star michelin quality.
Executive Chef: Philippe Groult; Chef Propri?taire: Jo?l Robuchon.

We decided to try the many small dishes to get a flavour of wide variety of food. Quail, lobster, chicken soup, frog leg, oyster, shrimp and lamb. Chocolate dessert and coffee. All delicious!

Regarding the price, it is on the high side, even more expensive than say Caprice at Four Seasons and Pierre at Mandarin Oriental.

Irene: I don't really like the atmosphere of this restaurant. The showroom concept is like an upgraded fast food bar and the table area is not spacious enough. I prefer Pierre. Although food and service are of high quality, this amount of money can buy same quality of food and better dining atmosphere in other top restaurants. The private room is HK$5000 for lunch of six seat table and HK$8000 for dinner, the room is facing the terrace. Maybe better to pick the private room with friend to enjoy the whole evening with great food and cozy surrounding.

Japanese in Causeway Bay
12/F Continental Diamond Plaza, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
+852 2838 3928
Price per person: HKD 90 (with discount)

A newish Japanese restaurant in Causeway Bay with a Hong Kong chef (I think). Good value for money.

Japanese in Causeway Bay
3/F Kyoto Plaza, 491-499 Lockhart Road, Causeway Bay
+852 2136 1271
Price per person: HKD 180

Buffet Japanese dinner, quality is only so so, thus over priced... besides some of the food taste off. seems like the food are not fresh or expired. For this price, it's better to go to other places. Never go to this restaurant

Western in Central
Level 3, The Rotunda, One Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central
+852 2522 2246

There is also a Chinese food section which is cheaper. Finding a place to have a quiet lunch in Central is such a headache! Tho' this restaurant is not on the cheap side, it's as noisy as Cafe de Coral. I should consider somewhere else next time.

Revivons les ann?es 60?s & 70?s

Rappelons l??re du « Flower Power »: les ann?es 60 sont connues pour la nouvelle vague des cin?astes, sa mode des jupons et pantalons color?s et effleur?s ; les couleurs gaies ?taient « de rigueurs ». Les ann?es 70 sont connues pour son ?nergie, Glam Rock, Disco, Punk, et son « angst ».

Venez d?guis?s : soit une mini-jupe Mary Quant, soit Courr?ges? Space Age, La robe pinafore de Cardin, ou si vous le pr?f?rez, Twiggy, Sid Vicious, ou bien Tony Manero (John Travlota) dans « La Fi?vre du samedi soir». Portez vos cheveux en style de l??poque : « Afro » ou « hippie ».

Faites comme vous le sentez ! Surtout, venez nombreux, et venez pr?ts pour d?cha?ner. Evidemment, il y aura un prix pour le meilleur d?guisement

Asian in Repulse Bay

Had dinner here, the service is excellent and so is the food. We love the curry goose with lai chee and the Singaporean "meat bone soup".

Irene; Actually the 'meat bone soup' can never beat the one in Singapore. I love this restaurant, reasonable price for good food and atmosphere ;)
