Seems attractive! Do you know if they would open on Sunday night?
Is it good place for 4-5 people to seat long and chat? I mean a 2-3hrs at least.
You know, sometimes you go to a restaurant but the background music is so loud..i hate it.

Yes, they open on Sunday and can cater for private party up to 40 people. But if on any night, there are not more than 10 people, they will not open. I went on a Monday night and there was just e ...

Just curious, do you mean if their reservation list is less then 10ppl, they will close? I think this is quite disappointing if somebody planned to go there one night but it will not open cos of not enough customers?

Besides, if the food is so good, why so few ppl go there? Is it just newly opened so not many ppl know the place?

Not much publicity. They cannot afford to open if less than 10 people make reservation in any night as costs will be too high. Besides, they don't keep a lot of food to ensure freshness and buyin ...

Ok, will bring along some friends and try once.
Do you think it is a good place to celebrate a good fd's birthday?

By the way, any parking space? I don't think I can find one easily at/near star street??

Don't drive.

Yes, very suitable for birthday and quiet chit-chat as well!

Good! Thanks for letting me know.
There should be some good things around that area. I know more and ore restaurants open in that place so what else worth trying?

Do you know a famous restaurant nearby for eating 喇沙?

If you drive up to Star Street, and turn right and go downhill at Cine Citta, there's a multi-storey car park on the right between Star St and Queen's Road East.

You can call up La Fete to ...

Ic, thanks!

I used to go to Cine Citta regularly but have not been there in the last couple of years for meals - and I don't know why.  Last time I went there was for a fashion show in Aug 05. They did h ...

Do you think the restaurant is still there?

Another restaurant I quite like in this area is Ingredients, nice atmosphere, medium expensive if you order their $500-$600 five course set dinner menu (changed monthly).

Thanks for the info. Personally I like foie gras for dinner. Do you know any good place?

(Although I know its not healthy eating foie gras, just once a month is acceptable i think.)

*ahem* it's not foie gras, it's just foie gras "sauce".

about La Fete, it's nice to find a nice and cozy place for good French food, i like t-shirt + jeans too much to eat at Brasserie ...

Thanks for your suggestion. I have been to Simple Thai before, the place is rather crowded and noisy. Not quite comfortable sitting in there. But outdoor is good, but not for summer.

I like laksa very much. Not easy to find good ones in HK.

I don't think a decent pan fried foie gras is that difficult to make.   Nicely done foie gras is quite common place among HK restaurants IMHO.  The problem is I can't remember a single such p ...

It's ok. I remembered I tried twice at the oyster bar (@sheraton). The first time was nicely done, juicy, soft & crispy on the surface. The 2nd time was overcooked, dry & hard. What a waste! Even worse, I found a moving worm in the oyster shell, so disgusting!

I should have complaint...but I didn't cos I didn't want to ruin the night on my fd's birthday!!

Agreed. Despite a 50/50 affair at Cest Bon, their pan fried foie gras was really good. Nice big juicy piece cooked to perfection.

Yummy!
