The Optimist (Wan Chai)

Stepping into the emerald-green @theoptimisthk is just like entering an urban tropical jungle with authentic Northern Spanish gourmet 🌿 We came for restaurant week last year and tasted some of their signature dishes that can still be found on the menu One thing that can always be expected from @piratagrouphk restaurants is the generous hospitality despite no service charge 🥰 Our experience here was no exception - kudos to our friendly waiter who offered us coffee and tea on the house! [𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐠𝐠𝐬 𝟐.𝟎] The soft confit potato base was topped with a delicate poached egg and loads of iberico ham for the ultimate comfort food. The only flaw was that it was a little too salty and oily for my liking 🤨 [𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐧] Delectably paired with lemon cream and almond crunches, the egg flan was absolutely amazing and the sweetness level was just right 😊 📍 The Optimist G/F-2/F, 239 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai (MTR exit A2) #hongkong #foodie #spanishfood

Michelin ⭐️ - Rùn (part II) As a big fan of char siu, it is usually a must-order for me in most Chinese restaurant. Rùn’s signature Iberico pork was melt-in-the-mouth tender with a nice honey glazed crust ; however the pork was a bit overpowered by the honey, the fundamental charred crust which all char siu fans love was missing here. With expectations high over a Michelin-starred culinary offerings, I was a bit dissappointed at their signature dish but other dishes were nicely crafted , only some of them were over seasoned. Overall it’s a pleasant visit and I would love to try their dim sum menu next time ! Recommendations: - Barbecued Iberico pork with honey - Fried rice, dried Sakura shrimp, mullet roe - Chilled pink guava cream, sago, coconut jelly Deliciousness: 7.5/10 Value: 6.5/10 Service: 8.5/10 Recommendation: 7.5/10 #foodie
