2/3 Dolci starring at Cafe Deco Pizzeria
Cafe Deco Pizzeria has been around for ages.
There was a branch at Sheung Wan which I didn't get to visit.
There was a branch at Sheung Wan which I didn't get to visit.
Previously they were on the 1st floor of elements and now they have moved to the 2nd floor next to the cinema.
When I arrived, I was greeted with a gelato cabinet which happened to be my favourite gelato brand 2/3 Dolci.
Their pistachio gelato is highly recommended.
As I was early, I had the salted caramel milkshake which is made with 2 scoops of 2/3 Dolci gelato.
Crostini plate: This was a nice light assortment of crab and salmon on crostini.
Steak Tartare: The steak tartare is highly recommended as there was a nice balanced taste with tart pickles.
Roasted Octopus: Not what I expect to find on the menu but I liked it because of the Mediterranean twist with olives etc.
Pork cheeks cavatalli: It was a creative combination of olives which was really moreish as the sauce was tangy and just the thing for summer.
From the choice of 10 pizzas, we reduced it down to two!
The Japanese free range egg with smoked tuna belly pizza and the M6 Wagyu beef and prawn.
Japanese free range egg with smoked tuna belly pizza:
The tuna belly pizza was really tasty enhanced by the egg and Shichimi oil which gives it a spicy exotic flare.
M6 Wagyu beef and prawn:
Desserts are a must and they have the latest souffle pancakes but my favourite was the cheesecake which was presented in a deconstructed way wrapped in fruit jelly.
The fighting flavours:
Salted caramel mousse with candied peanuts.
The best of both worlds (cheesecake):
Souffle pancakes: Original and Matcha.

Foodwise Wine pairing @ La Mer Restaurant & Lounge
As a FoodWise member, there are lots of events like wine pairing etc.
It was my first time joining the wine pairing event by FoodWise. I attended the event because I have always wanted to try the food at La Mer Restaurant & Lounge which is founded by celebrity Stefan Wong.
As well pairing it with fine wines from Bodegas Corral, the signature dishes from La Mer were also on the menu.Started with the beef tartare paired with Don Jacobo Crianza 2014.
By far this was my favourite beef tartare because it was made with tenderloin so the beef is lean and flavourful.
It contains capers and gherkins which make the tartare moreish.
Next was the French Onion soup, again flawless as it was loaded with onions which were soft and sweet, topped with a lovely piece of baguette with melted gruyere cheese.
The pairing of Don Jacobo Reserva complimented it nicely.
The main course was Wet aged US Prime hanger steak served medium rare to go nicely with the red wine.

The wine pairing was good because Carlos Rubio, CEO & Winemaker of Don Jacobo led us through the wines so for wine rookies like me, I ended up understanding more of the wine pairing journey and how different characteristics of the wine come by. The last act was my favourite!
Cheese.........
On the platter was smoked cheddar, goats cheese, Stilton and Parmesan.
Goats cheese and Smoked Cheddar were my favourites and went well with the wine.
Overall, it was a great event so I will look out for other events organized by Foodwise in future. All the wines we tried that night can be bought at FOODWISE.

[Pivo Czech Bar] A great night out
Hong Kong is a small place yet you can practically find almost every cuisine here.
Went to Pivo Czech Bar as I have not had many Czech dishes before.
Czech cuisine is influenced by the countries surrounding it like Germany and Austria.
As well as Czech dishes, there was quite a variety of other dishes to go for so we ordered a mix of other dishes as well.
*************
Started with the tacos which had a slight Japanese twist to it with nori tempura as a base.
There were three to choose from: smoked salmon, beef or eel!
Pivo Salmon Nori Taco:
It was pretty good because I love nori tempura and it had some orzo on it so this was quite an appetizing teaser to start with.
*************
We had two salads, the Irish Crab Soba Salad and the Pomelo shrimp salad.
Both were good but as a carbs person I liked the soba as it was filling dressed in Japanese style creamy sesame sauce.
Shrimp Pomelo Salad:
Irish Crab Soba Salad:
*************
Snack Platter: Wings, Spiced Watermelon, Achiote Tuna and Truffle fries
The snack platter was good for sharing.
The wings were spicy and crispy and the watermelon was topped with my favourite feta cheese, while the tuna was slightly spicy.
*************
Classic Monte Cristo Sandwich:
Again I picked this as you don't see many places offer it.
Monte Cristo is American and it is basically a fried ham and cheese sandwich!!
This one had a poached egg on top which made it even more delicious with the runny egg yolk.
*************
USDA Striploin 10oz with peppercorn gravy and bacon:
Although the beef was the star of the show, my eyes lit up on the bacon which was crispy all the way through!
*************
The Bohemian Goulash Mac & Cheese wasn't very cheesy but nice and hearty with chunks of beef in it.
Conchiglie is used as stated on the menu.
*************
The Mussels in Beer were plump and soft.
*************
For dessert we had the Dutch Babies!
There are three Dutch Baby Pancakes to choose from: Original, berries and apple and cinnamon.
Each flavour was good in different ways, the original was just simple and satisfying while the berries had a lovely mascarpone cream topping and the apple on would satisfy any sweet tooth.
Overall a great place to hang out with lots to choose on the menu.

Instadelicious dishes at [Time Park Lounge]
Time Park is a brilliant new hip place to hang out in TST, located in the Basement of Minden Avenue. I felt like I was in London because of the decor and vibes.
Started with drinks and the Snow Elf visually looked like a trifle so I was really chuffed. It was made with pineapple and passionfruit.
The other drink was Taishan Mountain which was more refreshing with crushed ice and grapefruit.
As well as drinks, Time Park has nailed it with instadelicious dishes.
I liked the way they have used sea urchin shells as part of the presentation especially the abalone which is inside the uni shell on a nest of hay.
The abalone was slow cooked topped with glistening salmon roe pearls and a melon molecular gastronomy sphere.
It was simply divine popping the melon ball and mixing it together.
The other instaworthy dish was the Arancini balls which were served in sea urchin shells. On the side were dried barley grass which also bought me back to fields in UK.
These Arancini balls were stuffed with rice and I liked the way fermented beancurd was used making it taste cheesy without the heaviness.
My next favourite was the tartare, it was cubes of tuna tossed in this tantalizing shoyu sauce mixed with my favourite salmon roe topped with air dried beef.
On top of that was my favourite garden cress which made me thing of egg cress sandwiches.
Last but not least was the panfried seabass which was tender with a lovely crispy skin again topped with more garden cress so I was really happy.
Overall, I enjoyed my time there escaping from the city.
Food was brilliant which makes the whole experience wonderful.

It comes wrapped up like a burger.

Nostalgic Paradise dishes at Paradise Classic
Paradise Dynasty is a successful restaurant chain from Singapore serving the finest of northern and southern China cuisine and now they have a new restaurant under their wing called Paradise Classic which serves nostalgic dishes.
At Carnavon Plaza, they are right next to each other!!
I was more than excited to try because of the nostalgic dishes that are slowly fashioned out in the modern era.
Started with the floral elderflower and melon tea which was sweet and refreshing.
The first nostalgic dish was the crouching tiger available in a spicy and non spicy version.
You get to savour the sweetness of seafood in this inimitable pot of crabs, prawns, clams, squid and fish.
The seafood broths brings out the taste of freshest seafood while the thick vermicelli soaks up the flavours of the broth.
Next was the stewed silver pin noodles which came in a huge pot in thick delicious soup that is mixed with egg.
It was hearty and filling, great for the coming winter.
For light bites, had the mashed tofu with seafood which is a must try as they make the tofu in house.
Finished with my favourite spinach cooked with salted egg and preserved egg for a balanced meal with vegetables.
