Recommended Spot for Gatherings

Happened to be in Mong Kok East looking for food and came across this restaurant. The decor is simple and comfortable, and the prices are reasonable, so I decided to give it a try. Arrived at 12 PM and there were already a few tables occupied. By the time I finished ordering, the occupancy rate was over half, indicating the restaurant is quite popular. The restaurant's decor is tasteful, with a minimalist style that is both stylish and cozy. The staff were attentive and polite. The menu mainly features Western-style light meals, focusing on burgers, fries, quesadillas, pasta, etc. They also offer lunch sets. I tried the Asparagus and Crab Meat Saffron Cream Risotto. The portion of crab meat was just right, and I enjoyed the slightly firm texture of the risotto. The sauce was creamy without being overly thick, and the flavor was good. My only complaint is that the portion was too small 😆—even for a girl, it might not be filling enough. Luckily, I added a side dish: Baked Potato Skins with Italian Sausage. Served hot with semi-melted cheese and slightly crispy potato skins, it was very flavorful. The set also came with a carrot soup, which was smooth, rich, and genuinely tasted of carrots. For dessert, I ordered the Banoffee Creme Brulee Pancake 👍🏻. The caramelized sugar layer on top was thin and crisp, paired with vanilla custard sauce that didn’t overpower the pancake’s egg flavor but instead enhanced it. It was a perfect match—soft, airy, and accompanied by bananas, strawberries, and a touch of toffee sauce for plating. Both the presentation and taste were equally appealing 🤩. Highly recommended. Overall, it’s a great place. The restaurant is clean, and the lunch menu offers good value for money. Perfect for meeting up with friends.
