Located in Hung Hom plaza is this set menu Italian restaurant, Cafe Idea. A small place and need to call for reservations. I had to book one month ahead. The menu is set by the chef/owner, you just need to let them know how many people and what your preferences are. We started with this signature crab cake dish. Crabmeat, mango, cheesecake crust. Not bad.
Second came the seafood bowl. Shrimps, clams, squid, and the crab served with a tomato sauce. Yummy!
Salad with big bacon slices.
Seafood Soup. This soup was only so so. It tasted like the seafood bowl just more watery. There was a piece of cod or some sort of fish fried under the onions and tomatoes.
The mains came after the soup. The beef steak was juicy indeed but not the best beef of course. It isn't bad, just not the best, haha.
I recall they did mention this was Iberico pork chop. Pork chops are hard to cook because pork needs to be fully cooked, thus hard to maintain juicy. The pork chops here were cooked well. I would say 8.5/10. =)
After the meats, came pasta, but the 6 of us were already stuffed!! We had to take some back home. The taste was quite good~ very garlic'y'.
Dessert was ice-cream on waffle. The waffle was good! I think they are Belgium waffles, the texture was thick and wasn't too sweet.
After the dessert, you can also order a cup of coffee. They serve barista coffees. Good as well!
For the price under 400HKD, you get 8 dishes and 2 drinks (tea/coffee). Is a pretty good deal!!!
