Thanks to Mjqueen7e and the restaurant's PR for inviting us to try their food in such a lovely environment.
Sowelu is located on Lockhart Road near Causeway Bay MTR,
The restaurant has two floors, the upper floor has a cocktail bar and the lower floor has two canopies with alfresco dining.

Appetizer platter:
There was Parma ham, Menma, Camembert and diced tomatoes.
Menma is basically Japanese bamboo shoots in sesame oil, they were slightly spicy too.
The Camembert was lovely and creamy, and the parma ham and diced tomatoes paired together nicely.

Four cheese Pizza:
When it arrived, it looked like an Indian Naan.
The pizza is topped with four cheeses: blue cheese, Cheddar, Mozzarella and Parmesan.
I really liked it because the pizza was not entirely covered with cheese and the pizza base was light and chewy just like a naan.

Mentaiko pasta:
It was lovely and pink and the pasta was al-dente.
The taste was really nice because it was not very creamy packed with mentaiko and the delicious spring onions and seaweed gave it some freshness.

Caesar salad:
The greens in this salad was really nice, it was a nice mixture of different greens.
The duck was flavoured nicely by the appetizing caesar sauce.

Lastly we were served drinks and they asked us our preferences so they could come up with some drinks.
I was expecting them to be fruit juice cocktails, but they came up with some really cool cocktails that had vegetables in it which were celery and apple, virgin bloody mary and kiwi and apple.

Virgin bloody mary:I tried the Virgin bloody mary and it was surprising because the ones I have had before were made with tomato juice straight from the carton, but here they used freshly blended tomatoes.

Ice cubes:
For alcoholic cocktails, they have ice balls and square ice blocks.
