I don’t really venture into Hung Hom to eat because the location is really inconvenient unless there is something good that I want to eat and it better be worth it!!

Anyway, Hotel Sav is funky new hotel that shines on the corner.
It is definitely the hotel for me because I love anything that is colourful.
Each floor of the hotel has a different colour scheme.

The restaurant is called Palatte and there is a different cocktail each day.
There was an impressive buffet selections which satisfies the basic requirements of locals namely oysters and lobsters.

For me cheese and good breads are a must.
My favourites were the hydroponics salads.
There was made to order pasta where you can choose the sauces and ingredients.

The tandoori chicken was delicious because it tasty but not spicy and the chicken was springy and tender.

To finish off, there were so many desserts but the Korean icecream is a must try!!

Again the curry was flawless, I chose the non spicy curry with okra and tofu cubes.
The curry sauce tasted like gravy and not sweet like the other Japanese curries.
Compared to the previous visit, there was more okra but the okra was old and stringy.

Sweet and sour pork:

The pork was not lean so every bite as soft and squidgy. The sweet and sour sauce was quite good on the other hand.

Spaghetti bolognaise:

The spaghetti bolognaise was really good compared to Maxim's fake bolognaise which tasted of sweet garlic.
There was generous bolognaise sauce made with finely grounded beef that tasted spicy.

Chocolate rain is a well known brand adored by everyone.

I have always wanted to try this place when they started this Eat and Play experience at PMQ because you get to literally eat and play but it was hard trying to persuade someone to come with me.

For Easter, the eat and play includes a six course meal with egg painting.



The six course meal is prepared by a chef who used to work for a Michelin Three star restaurant.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tomato Tomato:

steamed lettuce, corn custard, cucumber, tea air.
The corn custard was a sweetcorn consomme jelly which melted in your mouth with sweet umami flavours.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
mini savory surprise:

This was a delight with light foamy whipped cheese and a crisp cheese cracker.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
My dumpling:
chives, scallop, bonito broth, sesame, snow fungus

A nourishing soup with a gelatinous piece of snow fungas
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
spring is coming:
avocado salsa, parmesan, market salad, eggplant and more

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
shrimps land:

This was a bowl of pretty pastel colours containing springy prawns, potatoes and prawn crackers tossed in a buttery sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sweet sweet me:

This was a light and dreamy molecular creme brulee with a fragrant caramel taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
mini sweet surprise:

Finished with this pretty dessert that was garnished with refreshing lime dust and airy whipped cream followed by tea.

Playtime~

You are given a lovely cook book to take home and here is the DIY that I did.

[Review 4211] Fried chicken with Chimichurri sauce @ Iberico & Co.

Initially came here for the brunch but the options available were not really exciting so I went for the a la carte items.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy chicken legs with Chimichurri sauce:

I love chimichurri sauce which was why I chose this.
When it came, there was a generous amount of chimichurri sauce so I was happy.
The chicken was a bit too crispy and hard because it was overdone otherwise it would have been delicious and I wished the chimichurri sauce had more lime juice in it.
