Heartwarming handmade pasta shop
Dinner with a friend who knows how to eat and drink, of course, by him to choose the place, he sent me a very unfamiliar shop name, Nocino.
Immediately looked online, it turned out to be a handmade pasta expert, the headquarters is in Tai Hang, and Guan Tong has opened a branch, I really a big countryman.
Small shop, very popular, Walk in do not have to expect to have a seat, even if you book a table, have to wait for a while.
The staff will recommend the restaurant's signature food, not put down the menu and leave, the impression is good.
First came the beef heta, beef cut relatively large, not bad taste, green those made of celery and onions, etc. made of sauce, no annoying grassy taste, did not expect with his beef heta can fit, mixed with the top crispy fried potato strips, texture more layered, I like.
The staff recommends Malakoff, a traditional Swiss snack. Made with Gruyère’s Swiss hard cheese, the outer layer is coated with breadcrumbs and fried until crispy. At first I thought the inside would have a melting effect, it turned out to be just a little slow flow, but the crispy outside plus the cheese flavor of the product, has successfully captivated my heart.
When you come here, there is no reason not to order handmade spaghetti! My friend decided to choose the bread crab black pepper pasta. The texture of the handmade pasta is naturally excellent, the crab meat ingredients are rather more, plus the cheese and black pepper, heavy flavor and very filling, if you have to be picky, the black pepper is slightly too fierce, a little imbalance.
Tiramisu is moist, smooth and full of coffee liquor aroma, traditionally made.
Another, the chestnut and blackcurrant cheesecake, has a wintery feel and tastes no less than traditional tiramisu.
Appreciate the clerk on each dish, will explain carefully, then will also ask diners' opinions, in Hong Kong has rarely encountered such a temperature of my small shop.
There are still diners waiting for a table after 9pm. Don't stop the earth from turning. After eating, pay the bill and leave. Seeing the staff treat the waiting diners to drink white wine, a small gesture, already very heartwarming.
When it comes to pasta, another popular handmade pasta specialist shop next door seems to be slightly superior. But in terms of overall Dining Experience, here wins.
