PICI Pasta Bar

When my favorite pasta bar in town was set to make its long anticipated debut across the harbour, I was determined to check them out on opening day but a few things that cropped up including a stint at the hospital postponed my visit. I really like PICI Tsim Sha Tsui a lot. It's a much bigger and better place comparing to their St Francis Yard location. And not just counter tables here too as they have sofa seats all over the place. Some bread, vinegar and olive oil to ease my craving a little bit. Pappardelle with porcini mushrooms - Oh, I really miss their eggy pappardelle. This was pretty tasty with a lot of porcini and shaved parmesan but I remembered the flavors to be a little sharper at St Francis Yard. Tagliatelle Amatriciana - This came with a little extra kick. Again the bite of the homemade pasta really stood out nicely. It was tossed with guanciale in a spicy tomato sauce with the same shaved parmesan providing the finishing touch. I'll take thi...

Beet

About a year ago, Beet quietly took over the space which was previously Le Port Parfumé , one of my favorite French bistros in Sheung Wan. While they still maintain the rustic and industrial-chic décor, the menu has taken more of a modern European approach with a focus on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. At the helm of Beet's kitchen is young Singaporean chef Barry Quek who cut his teeth at Joel Robuchon Singapore and Les Amis, before going on his culinary journey in Europe and Australia. His stint at Melbourne's Attica really caught my eyes because when I was there last year, I was fascinated by their unique fruit and vegetable driven menu and how it worked with progressive cooking techniques. I am still trying to stay away from all those meat dishes so this appetizer was perfect for me. Looks like the chefs here have been working with local farmers when they were developing their menus. Underneath the leafy spinach was a layer of local Chinese cabbage s...

Sun's Bazaar

The revolving door of Pacific Place 's restaurant scene spins again with Lai Sun Group replacing Operetta with Sun's Bazaar , a casual food concept featuring pan-Asian comfort food and bubble tea. $148 is definitely not a small price to pay for congee, noodle and fried rice but at Pacific Place, nothing comes cheap anyways. I have never been a big fan of Taiwanese bubble tea so cold soy milk suited me right fine. Pan-fried flat rice noodles, pork ribs, black bean sauce - This was reasonably good. The "wok hei" (鑊氣) could have been better and same goes for the presentation. But the flat rice noodles were actually not bad. Steamed plain rice rolls - My server told me it's one of their signature items around here. These were really silky smooth. On top of the soy and peanut butter sauce which have been added, there were hoisun sauce, chili paste and a side dish of minced meat served on the side. Personally, I found the minced meat particularly i...
