I was searching for new restaurants in WanChai on OpenRice and noticed this restaurant!
It reminded me of OhFood at Fortress Hill. I have been a fan of Arabic food since trying out Sham Fast Food before it refurbished into Sham Dining, then lastly into OhFood.
I tried to go to Oh Food, but when I got there it wasnt open.
I really like their food and enviroment, Sham Fast Food was similar to the food at Uni. I am not sure if they still cater for universities in Hong Kong because I remember they had a branch at some university, but I havent tried it.
It was really cool because it turned out to the same group and now the location is even more better, there is no need to walk up the steep road at Fortress Hill.
It is located in a commercial building which I rarely go for food, but this is an exception, same as Ziafat and if your going for curries at Chung King mansion.
Anyway, the decor was a mix of Sham dining and Oh Food. Flashy young logo with formal fixtures.
The owner of this places speaks really good English and he was probably educated in the US because of the logo design and the really yummy scrummy food such as fried chicken served here.
The menu was A3 menu laminated, and it was really environmentally friendly because they provide you with markers to tick your orders and the ink is wipeable.
The set costs $75 and includes a a choice of appetizer, soup, main dish or noodles, and drink.
The choice appetizers and soup are:
Hummus
Arabic salad
Brown pea garlic salad
Coleslaw salad
Egg salad
Mushroom cream soup
Egg corn soup
Vermicelli and vegetable
For the main dishes they are served with choice of Arabic rice, Beryani rice or fries.
Beef steak with black pepper sauce
Beef kebab with tomato sauce
Mutton cubes with vegetables
Sliced mutton with cheese and mushroom
Chicken Sheesh Taook
Roasted chicken
Fried chicken
Sliced chicken with cheese and mushroom
Vegetables with tomato sauce
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Coleslaw
This was slightly different to the one at North point, the colour was bright orange and slightly sweeter.
Minestrone soup
Although it may not be Arabic food, but it contained cumin and some other spices which made it really really nice.
It even tastes better than the fake minestrone soups served in Chinese restaurants that do not even contain noodles.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hummus
This was not as thick as I would have liked.
There was more sesame in it than chickpeas which made it runnier.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Milk curd pudding
This is similar to the Chinese double boiled milk except that it was too sweet.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
TAKEOUT - Apple pie
This looked more like an apple crumble
It was quite flourly and sweet.
The packaging was really cute, they have got clear plastic stickers with their logo which they have stuck on the lid of the apple pie box and even on the white vest take-out bag
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chicken sheesh taouk with Beryani rice:
The chicken was tender with lots of herbs.
The white gravy on the chicken was a bonus, it tasted good with or without.
The rice was soft and fluffy just like the Indian type long and slender.
The taste of the beryani rice was aromatic but not spicy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fries
This was my favourite since Sham, they are the shoestring type with lots and lots of lovely spices on top.
There was THOOM sauce too which is fluffy garlic sauce, however the one here tastes slightly different to the one at Sham.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For the drinks I wish they had Apricot juice like before, but the current selection is ok.
The coffee was a bit strong.
Apart from the above items they also serve pastas and sandwiches!!
Shrimp pasta, Chicken pasta, Vegetable pasta, Beef steak sandwich, Sliced mutton sandwich, Chicken Sheesh Taook sandwich, Sliced chicken sandwich, Hummus sandwich and egg sandwich.
