Hitting Lan Kwai Fong should be mostly for drinks, but before letting alchohol reigns your mind, you should always eat first. Quite a random search in the Entertainer app makes us a visit to Bungalow - not one, but twice. It is a classy club-cum-restaurant, but like no other, food is surprisingly good and definitely not to the mere standard of "bar food" to fill your stomach.
Tuna Ribbon
not like pieces of tuna sashimi to get in Japanese restaurant but in strips. Fresh tuna sashimi is worth a try regardless of its shape! More flavourful than mere tuna sashimi because of the highlight brought by creamy and refreshing taste of avocado and lime broth, though I admit that it is somehow a bit pricey if one would compare the price of tuna sashimi at Japanese restaurants and here.
Smoked wagyu brisket
simply from the name of dish, you wouldn't have imagined that it was serving like a lobster roll! A superbly made combination of melting and intensely flavoured wagyu brisket and buttery bun makes it a main course that we would like to encore after the first bite.
Beef brisket is frequently cooked in broth in Chinese cuisine, but rarely smoked like this. A nondescript taste of grill together with the robust and unique taste of wagyu makes it so decadent.
Rib eye steak
given this price and the portion, we couldn't ask for more. It would of course be better if it was thicker (willing to forgo surface area) and with less seasonings.
Seafood spaghetti
rest assured that it is the best place and timing to consume squid ink spaghetti, as traces left on your teeth wouldn't be easily spotted under dim light! Portion isn't really big but fine for bites, satiating cravings for decadent uni and caviar.
Pear Almond Tart
a classic French dessert to wrap up the dinner, not in a big portion but those having sweet tooth were happy with it. Buttery tart base with tender pear pieces made it a zesty bite and a palate cleanse.
We will definitely return before drinking hours in Lan Kwai Fong and even without drinking purpose, it is worth a visit to enjoy the posh French fare.
