Vroom Vroom with Fiat food !! @ Fiat Caffè

 

 

There are not many car themed restaurants in Hong Kong, although they are getting increasingly popular.
Not long after this was opened there is now one in Central which features Mini's called Mini dans la Ville.

Anyway checked this place out with IVYCWK.

When we got there it was already full and lots of people were waiting for tables.
In the Cafe, there were many Fiat related items for sale such as gear stick nobs and other mechanical bits.

The only disappointment was that there was only one table near the entrance which was actually a partial car, the rest were normal tables and chairs.

I just felt that for a car themed restaurant, there should be more of these car themed tables.

Finally sat down and ordered a panini and a Sardines bruschetta.
The table for two was so small that the two basic items we ordered and drinks could not be all placed on the table.
Luckily the waitors were extremely attentative and helpful, they helped us put the food on smaller plates to fit on the table.

Ricotta cheese, egg and anchovy panini
I really liked the panini, especially the cheese which was white, and the egg inside the panini was not overdone.
The anchovies were there to give it some flavour.

Nostromo sardine with dill caper mayonnaise and tomato sauce
We ordered this because the presentation was fun!
Usually the fish comes from the tin and here they have put the sauces in the tin and the sardines intact on top of the bruschetta.
The Sardines tastes like the usual sardines but without the tomato sauce and it was slightly drenched in olive oil.
It was fun with the sauce in the tin.
The dill caper mayonnaise was my favourite, it was evidently creamy and there were lots of dill in the sauce which can be visually seen.
The tomato sauce tasted like pizza sauce but it was sligthly too sweet for my liking.

Tea by tea forte
The tea itself was exquisite, especially the packaging.
However it could have been served better because the tea and water was served separately so by the time you put the teabag in the glass the water is not hot enough.
Secondly the tea should be served in a tea cup or a tea pot because the amount of water that was in the tall glass is nearly twice as much as a tea cup which will make the tea bland.
Thirdly this tea bag is different to other teabags because there is a hook at the top and keeps the tea bag afloat and given the tall glass, the tea bag could not diffuse properly with the water.

Cute Salt and Pepper grinders

 

As well as the exquisite tea, I found these grinders quite cute by Drogheria & Alimentari
