I have been wanting to try this place for ages but I was too lazy to pop over to Sai Kung. I went today as there were other stuff to check out such as Camden Town, Fiesta, and various western grocery stores.
It was a little hard to find at first, as I assumed it was on the seafront side, however it was near Sweetheart dessert.
Its a nice little restaurant that distinguishes itself from its surroundings, wooden front and ceilings, there is a reptile area too, but they are display only.
The staff were very friendly, a British one and one that looks like Louis Koo.
I ordered the starter platter so I could try their starters, I ate the ones that I thought were the most tasty, and left the samosa and fish roti last.

The fish roti was the best! I never expected it to taste the best out of the five, the filling was purple made with Sri Lankan purple potato, and it was a dense paste of grounded fish and purple potato with hints of black pepper.

I also liked the Samosa because it was made of chicken instead of the usual pork.
The other breaded items were also good, they reminded me of FINDUS crispy pancakes from UK, but with spicy fillings inside.
The Fish cutlet was ball shaped rather than fillets that you would expect from western cuisine.
As for the Pittu, it was rice mixed with coconut, various pulses and some herbs steamed in a bamboo.
The rice went perfectly with the coconut rich curry.

Wish the reptiles were ALIVE!
