Sunning Restaurant (Shop B, 16/F, Lee Theatre Plaza, 99 Percival Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, tel : +852 2890 2029 / 2576 3301) has the same kind of vibe that old school institutions back home like Shashlik, The Ship or The Tavern have. That's what they are. Restaurants that were classy as defined from their era, enduring and a lot of nostalgia involved for a certain demographic who have spending power.
The bread basket is better than what Shashlik and The Ship has though.
Mushroom cream soup. I was surprised that the soup actually had some flavour of mushrooms. 😬
This one was oyster bongo soup. The name got me intrigued.
I don't know how the name was supposed to describe the soup but it's a cream soup with spinach and a large oyster. And yes, there was some oyster flavour in the soup. Even though it looked just like the mushroom cream soup. Oyster's great.
Menu called this baked pickle ox tongue with rice so I was curious as well. 'Pickle' was probably an inaccurate translation. The more appropriate word would be 'corned'. Like corned beef.
Lots of tongue in the creamy rice layered with a bit of toasted cheese.
Their rack of lamb was breaded and fried instead of grilled.
We asked for medium but it's close to well done. Pretty tender and fatty though. Tasted better than it looked.
This one not Hainanese coffee. It's freshly ground beans and better tasting.
whats corned tongue like ? like corned beef ? any difference in texture ?
ReplyDeleteYeah, kinda like corned beef as it's salt cured. Less chewy than the regular variety but then again, it also depends on preparation.
