I can't seem to find this restaurant listed on openrice, therefore I am posting comments at the old address.
However you can find the new address at ipick.

Tel: 23466918.
Surprisingly there are branches of Kim Gary in Singapore and Malaysia.
At this branch, there is a security camera at the entrance, so people can see you on the screen before you come in.
The steak is sodarized but pretty good because it is quite thick and tender.
The noodle and tofu pots were also good.

I don't often have Japanese food because it doesn't taste right in Hong Kong.
 0 讚好

Tried Toyosu Suisan because of the fact it has endless queues and good comments from bloggers who know their Japanese food.
Started with the soup which comes with every bowl.

It had a strong miso taste with lots of fish in it.

It was really difficult to choose because every bowl looked good.
In the end I went for the Minced maguro and snow crab bowl with yam.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Minced maguro and snow crab bowl with yam:
To be honest, it was soooo tasty I didn't need any soy sauce.

The ingredients are freshly flown from Hokkaido and the wasabi is freshly grated not the powder.
There were bits of yuzu peel and tomato that did wonders.

maguro eye:

This was the prized Maguro eye that I have always wanted to order and it is hard finding a place in Hong Kong that serves it.
It had a rich sweet taste and it was very gelatinous.


+++++++

I cant wait to come back again and hope that it will be consistently good.

There are two branches of Santorini in Hong Kong, one in Central and one in Wanchai.

Went here for dinner.

Started with banana and yoghurt smoothie which was a great wake up for the evening.

Greek food is not complete without dips and it was comforting they had Taramosalata which you can commonly get in the UK.

We got the dip sampler so we could try the other dips.

Taramosalata (100% cod eggs with potato purée and lemon)

Eggplants Dip (Chargrilled eggplant spread)

Fava Beans Dip from Santorini (Yellow fava beans purée served with spring onion, capers and cherry tomatoes)

Tzatziki (Greek yogurt with cucumber and garlic)
My favourites were Taramosalata  and Tzatziki which were both creamy but Taramosalata has a salty twist.
The eggplant dip is on the sweet side while the fava beans dip is nicely spiked with cumin.

Next was the Sagnanaki Cheese which was runny and stringy in the middle with a mild cheese taste and a hint of salt in it.

Ordered the Spanakopita which is a classic Greek puff with spinach and feta cheese.
There are other fillings as well but I like spinach.

The Octopus salad was surprisingly tangy and tasty and the octopus had a balanced char grilled flavour to it.

Finished with my favourite rice pudding which was thick and creamy.

[Review 5499] Consistently salty @ 吉豚屋吉列豬扒專門店 Ca-Tu-Ya

First time I went here, I had the chicken with garlic and chili a la carte so the chicken and garlic crumbs were placed on top of the rice making it bloody salty.
It appears to have red colouring too because the chopsticks go red.
On the second visit, I went for the set because the rice is served separately.
Anyway, the chicken was consistently salty.
The hygiene could be improved because the plastic cups for the water stink of wet cloths.

[Review 5498] This place did not disappoint. Keep it up @ 莆田 PUTIEN

Glad Putien didn't disappoint me this time because they disappointed me earlier at Diamond Hill twice.
Anyway, it is good to see they have new items all the time.
Cute rice bear!
I wonder if the rice is that touching to make you cry from the Chinese wording.
Overall, the food was good this time, there was no smelly pork or overly oily dishes.

Went here because I love CATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs.

As well as cats, they had great cakes so that was a bonus.

I tried the blue stevia pea cake which looks blue but  tastes like a normal black forest cake.
Finished it off with a pot of red tea.
The staff there were REALLY NICE and FRIENDLY.
They encourage  you to return your plates when you go but they should have it in English too for those who can't read Chinese .

[Review 5496] For Arabic food, come during the evening @ Kenoz

For Arabic food, come during the evening
2016-10-07  591 瀏覽
To be honest, I ended up dining here because the food I wanted at Kasa down the road was sold out.

For lunch $98 is quite reasonable but not reasonable if you want Arabic food because two out of the three choices were not Arabic.
 0 讚好

I understand that for real Arabic food you have to come back in the evenings but some people are only in Central during the daytime and will only give once chance to the restaurant they try.

Started with Ruose salad which was just peas, carrots in mayonnaise dressing that tasted like peas in a creamy salad cream dressing.
 0 讚好

For the mains,  I went for the tagine because pasta and the pan fried beef rolls were not Arabic, but strangely the seafood tagine is not on the main menu and they don't serve seafood in the evenings.
Judging the main menu, it was quite reasonable with Mezzes, grills and Sharwamas, but for lunch I wish there was proper stuff like Hummous, grilled meat with a side of Arabic rice or a choice mini Sharwama rolls.
 0 讚好

Luckily dessert was good, it was my favourite rice pudding which was creamy without being too sweet.

Hoping to see more options on the lunch menu like "Oh Food" in Wanchai which serves Halal Arabic Food.
Persian food is also delicious because they have lots of tasty rices especially the one in London called Simurgh.
