Fairwood's Baked Chicken and Rice with Cream Sauce is a dish that has the potential to be great, but falls short in a few key areas. While the creamy sauce is delicious, the chicken itself leaves something to be desired. The Chicken: The chicken is the weakest element of the dish. While it's cooked through, it lacks the juicy tenderness that one would expect from a baked chicken dish. The dryness detracts from the overall experience, making it difficult to fully enjoy the other components of the meal. Overall: Fairwood's Baked Chicken and Rice with Cream Sauce is a dish with both strengths and weaknesses. The sauce was delightful but definitely lacking in portion, and the dry chicken holds the dish back from reaching its full potential. The whole dish appears to be a bit dry. If you're looking for a truly comforting and satisfying meal, you might want to consider other options. P.S I think I’m being very nice at this review.

My friend and I recently found myself in Causeway Bay on a weekend afternoon, and with a rumbling stomach, I decided to check out Water Gate Chicken Rice. Despite the late hour, I was surprised to find a queue outside the restaurant. This was a good sign, and it only fueled my anticipation. My order consisted of the classic chicken and rice, a Pattaya salad, tom yum noodles with chicken, fried dumplings, and Wagyu skewers. I also grabbed a milk tea to finish off the meal. The Chicken and Rice: The star of the show lived up to its reputation. The rice was perfectly cooked, boasting a delightful oily fragrance. The chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the portion was generous.
Pattaya Salad: This salad was a refreshing starter, offering a delightful balance of spice and sourness. However, be warned, it packs a punch! If you're sensitive to spice, proceed with caution.
Tom Yum Noodles with Chicken: This dish was another winner. The picture might not do it justice, but the noodles were incredibly tasty and came with a surprising amount of chicken and vegetables. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity.
Fried Dumplings: These crispy, hot-off-the-fryer dumplings were a perfect side dish. They were delicious and satisfying.
Wagyu Skewers: This was the unexpected highlight of the meal. The Wagyu beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, exceeding my expectations for a Thai restaurant known for its chicken and rice. The sauce was such a great complement to the Wagyu I must say. 
Milk Tea: The perfect way to end the meal, the milk tea was sweet, creamy, and refreshing.
Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with Water Gate Chicken Rice. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was friendly and efficient. Despite the initial queue, the wait was well worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying and flavorful Thai meal in Causeway Bay. 
Additional Notes:
- The restaurant was quite busy, even for a late Saturday afternoon, so be prepared for a possible wait.

- The Pattaya salad is definitely on the spicier side (in my humble opinion), so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to spice.

- The Wagyu skewers were a pleasant surprise and definitely worth trying!!!!!!

Forget fancy ambiance and white tablecloths, Tuen Mun Curry House is all about delivering delicious, authentic curries at a price that won't break the bank.

Lunchtime Steal: For a mere $48 HKD, I was treated to a lunch set that could have easily fed two. We're talking soup, chicken curry, mixed vegetables, fries, rice, naan bread, and a drink – a veritable feast!
Flavor Explosion: The curry was the star of the show, boasting a rich and complex blend of spices that had me reaching for more rice and naan to soak it all up. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, leaving a satisfying warmth that lingered.

Final Verdict: Tuen Mun Curry House is a hidden gem for curry lovers on a budget. With its delicious food, generous portions, and unbeatable prices, it's no wonder this place is packed with happy customers.

Grissini at the Grand Hyatt certainly lives up to its reputation as one of Hong Kong's best Italian restaurants. 
Warm and Fluffy Breadsticks: The star of the show is undoubtedly the homemade breadsticks. Served warm, they are incredibly soft and fluffy. Dipping them in the accompanying olive oil and vinegar is a classic and satisfying start to the meal.
Prosciutto Perfection: The 24-month aged Prosciutto di Parma is a must-try. Its saltiness is perfectly balanced, and the thin slices practically melt in your mouth. Wrapping it around the breadsticks, as suggested by the restaurant, is a delightful combination.
Pasta and Risotto: The homemade saffron pappardelle with wild boar ragout and rapini leaf is a flavorful and satisfying dish. The Carnaroli rice with Jerusalem artichoke, sea asparagus, and hazelnut offers a unique twist. While hazelnut in risotto might not be for everyone, it adds an interesting texture and subtle nutty flavor.
Tiramisu Triumph: The tiramisu is a showstopper, both visually and in taste. Scooping into it with a large spoon is a satisfying experience. The mascarpone cheese is incredibly smooth and airy, like melted marshmallow. The cake is also generously soaked in liqueur, making it a truly decadent dessert. It's no wonder it's considered one of the best in Hong Kong!
A Special Celebration: We were celebrating a friend's special occasion, and the staff at Grissini went above and beyond to make it memorable. They kindly prepared a cake for us, adding a personal touch to our evening.
Overall: Grissini delivers a fantastic Italian dining experience. From the warm breadsticks to the exquisite tiramisu, every dish is crafted with care and high-quality ingredients. The staff's attentiveness and kindness further elevated our experience. It's definitely a place worth visiting for a special occasion or a delicious Italian meal.

Tucked away in the bustling streets of Wan Chai, Cat Eye presents itself as a haven for Japanese curry enthusiasts. Stepping inside, the atmosphere is casual and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. I was drawn to the "Creamy Chicken and Beef Stew with Omurice" (忌廉雞肉/燴牛肉汁蛋包飯), a dish that promised a symphony of textures and flavors.

The star of the show was undoubtedly the creamy chicken and beef stew. The sauce boasted a rich, savory depth, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the cream with the umami notes of the meat. Each spoonful was a delightful journey for the taste buds. The omurice itself was a masterpiece – fluffy eggs enveloping perfectly cooked rice, creating a comforting and satisfying base for the flavorful stew. 
However, the experience wasn't without its flaws. The beef, while flavorful, was slightly rough around the edges. A touch more tenderness would have elevated the dish to new heights. Additionally, while the portion size was adequate, the balance between meat and rice felt a bit skewed. As a self-proclaimed meat lover, I couldn't help but yearn for a more generous serving of beef and chicken to fully complement the exquisite sauce and omurice.

Despite these minor hiccups, Cat Eye delivers a satisfying Japanese curry experience at a reasonable price point for the Wan Chai district. If you're in the area and craving a comforting and flavorful curry adventure, Cat Eye is worth considering. Just be aware of the potential for a slight meat-to-rice imbalance and a touch of toughness in the beef.

Stepping into Kenko Shokuhin Ramen is like stepping into a little corner of Japan. The cozy space, run by a Japanese team, exudes authenticity and warmth. I opted for the Roast Pork Ramen, eager to delve into a classic. The broth was undeniably the star – rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The noodles were cooked to perfection, boasting the ideal texture and bite. However, the roast pork, sadly, was a letdown. Instead of melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, it was disappointingly rough and chewy. To accompany my meal, I tried their highball. It was a decent drink, refreshing and well-made, but nothing extraordinary. While I enjoyed it, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as a must-try. Perhaps on a scorching summer day, it would hit the spot.

On a previous visit, I sampled their bento box, which turned out to be a delightful surprise. The variety and execution of the dishes within the bento surpassed my ramen experience.

Overall, Kenko Shokuhin Ramen is a mixed bag. While the atmosphere and core elements like broth and noodles are spot on, inconsistencies like the roast pork hold it back from true ramen excellence. However, their bento offerings hint at potential beyond the ramen bowl. If you're in the mood for Japanese, it's worth a try, but perhaps explore beyond the ramen options. The highball, while pleasant, is more of a situational choice for those seeking a cool, refreshing beverage.

Hidden gem in SSP Last night, I embarked on a tantalizing culinary adventure at Tao's Thai, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the city. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with intricate Thai décor and friendly staff who greeted me with genuine smiles.

Shrimp Fried Rice: A Symphony of Flavors My first course was the shrimp fried rice, a classic Thai dish that exceeded my expectations. The rice was perfectly cooked, with a fluffy texture that absorbed the delectable sauce. The plump shrimp were succulent and tender, adding a burst of ocean freshness to each bite. The dish was generously portioned and adorned with colorful vegetables, creating a vibrant and appetizing presentation. The secret to the shrimp fried rice's exceptional flavor lies in the use of shrimp oil. This imparts a rich and aromatic scent to the dish, without making it oily or greasy. The result is a perfectly balanced and flavorful fried rice that tantalizes the taste buds.
Tom Yum: A Spicy and Sour Delight Next, I savored the Tom Yum soup, a spicy and sour broth that is a cornerstone of Thai cuisine. The soup had a rich and velvety texture, indicating that the restaurant had poured their heart into making the broth. The complex blend of herbs and spices excited my taste buds, and the broth was perfectly balanced, with a harmonious interplay of heat and acidity. The generous portion of tender seafood and vegetables added depth and texture to the dish. The use of lemon was particularly noteworthy, as it enriched the flavor of the soup without overpowering the other ingredients. The result was a truly exceptional Tom Yum soup that left me craving more.
Chrysanthemum Drink: A Refreshing Oasis To quench my thirst, I ordered the chrysanthemum drink, a refreshing and delicate beverage. The drink was made with chrysanthemum flowers, which imparted a subtle floral aroma and a slightly sweet taste. It was the perfect accompaniment to the spicy dishes I had ordered, providing a cooling and soothing effect.
Authenticity Guaranteed by Thai Chef One of the highlights of my dining experience was the fact that the chef at Tao's Thai is Thai.

The moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the charming and festive decorations that adorned the restaurant, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Even during the Christmas season, their attention to detail was remarkable, adding a touch of magic to the dining environment.

Now let's talk about the food, which was the true highlight of my visit. One dish that immediately caught my attention was the curry with beef brisket. The rich aroma of the curry filled the air as it arrived at my table, and the first spoonful was a burst of exquisite flavors. The tender beef brisket melted in my mouth, complemented perfectly by the velvety curry sauce. What truly impressed me was the harmonious fusion of flavors, as the curry seamlessly blended with the distinct nuttiness of the peanut, creating a taste sensation that left me craving for more.

Another standout dish was the pineapple fried rice, which was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The vibrant colors of the dish were visually enticing, and the portion size was more than generous. Each bite was a symphony of textures, with the fluffy rice, succulent chunks of pineapple, and an assortment of fresh vegetables and aromatic spices. It was a delightful medley of sweet and savory flavors, leaving me completely satisfied and impressed by the quality and quantity of the ingredients.

To complement my meal, I ordered a refreshing mint soda. The vibrant green color and the invigorating aroma of fresh mint instantly transported me to the streets of Thailand. The soda had just the right amount of sweetness and a zesty kick, making it a perfect thirst-quencher and a refreshing palate cleanser between bites.
