Here’s what we had at SML at the trial dinner:
There were just too many dishes and our table was a little cramped and busy, so I had forgotten to take photos of the grilled prawns / chilli / garlic, meatballs / spicy tomato sauce. Whoops.
My favorite dish? (MUST GET)
classic lasanga al forno
meatballs / spicy tomato [...]
From the folks who brought you The Press Room, Classified, The Pawn and Classified Mozzarella Bar, now comes “SML”, a restaurant, bar and patio concept offering – you guessed right! – Small, Medium and Large portions from their menu.
I quite like the concept because it almost feels a bit like going to a tapas restaurant [...]
Following my less-than-satisfied experience at Meet Lobo, I was offered another chance to try out another private kitchen, Su Casa. Before I go on, I should probably explain that my definition of a “private kitchen” is any dining area open to the public in old residential buildings (and usually not ground floor) and is run [...]
Last week, I was invited to a friend’s birthday dinner, which was held at a private kitchen called Meet Lobo. This place is situated right opposite Times Square in Causeway Bay inside one of those older buildings (Entrance is between Body Shop and Emperor Watch and Jewelry).
As a side note: To the left of the [...]
Edit: Thank you everyone who corrected me on the price. The set dinner of HK$ 350 + 10% is only for the trial runs. This price will be revised.

Sticking to my promise that Siuyeh.com is as much about local delicacies as it is to culture and all things tradition, I present to you Chan Chi Ying Medical Clinic (陳志英醫館) on Lockhart Road in Wanchai-borderline-Causeway Bay (under the bridge, next to OK convenient store). This place has been around for over 40 years now [...]
I got the Classic Cheese Burger at Freshness Burger (at Windsor House) the other day + 1 side + 1 cold drink totaling HKD 61. The environment was tidy and my meal arrived in less than 10 minutes, which I thought was a little longer than expected given there were only 6-8 other customers in [...]
Tried Burger Room the other night and I went for a Bacon Cheese Burger; didn’t want to try anything too fancy. The patties were were a little burnt for my liking and definitely too dry. The fries and the mozzarella cheese sticks were also average. Its not bad, just … average.
Note: Photos taken with iPhone [...]
Siu Yeh Alert: Bad Review
So after having tried Australia Dairy Company, naturally, I thought maybe Yee Shun Milk Company would be similar. I was sadly mistaken.
To begin, the 10+ servers in the empty restaurant were late (or lazy) to respond to my repeated requests for the menu. They all gathered at the back of the [...]
Looking for something light for a snack? Perhaps you might want to try ????? (Mandaron: Ren He Dou Pin Chang / Cantonese: Yan Wo Dou Bun Chong). There are quite a few branches in Hong Kong; the one I’ve shown here is on Jardine’s Bazaar. There’a another one in Causeway Bay on Canal Street near [...]
