Belgos East

Beef & Beer Stew with frites was my lunch at Belgos East. A main course this time instead of a set lunch, they serve as well. On the menu it also showed typical Belgian dishes like Waterzooi, shrimp croquettes, endives salad and obviously cooked Mussels. The stew meat was tender and together with the stew sauce very tasteful. You could clearly tell the use of different spices, including cloves, and Belgian beer.
Belgos East is located in the lobby of one of the office buildings in Quarry Bay. Not a typical place to go for a lunch or dinner. However, the interior is quite relaxed and doesn’t give you the impression you are actually in an office building. As the place around 1PM was almost fully booked, it was quite noisy with echoes of voices through the lobby. For lunch time you seem to need a booking ahead or come early; the crowded place indicates it is a popular place in Quarry Bay (Oxford House, Taikoo Place).

Sushi Hiro

On the 10th floor of a building in the shopping district of Causeway Bay we had a delicious dining experience at Japanese sushi/sashimi restaurant Sushi Hiro. On a Sunday evening we ordered the special menu of ten dishes. Dishes included very fresh tuna, tasteful salmon, yummy fried eel and good flavored miso soup. Despite the fact that some dishes were not my favorites (i.e. snail, roe and octopus) their taste was not bad at all; I guess it is the mind rather than your mouth telling you the food experience. The menu was priced at about HK$ 450 per person and included an aperitif and ice dessert as well. Sushi Hiro is a very good choice if you go for the food and are looking for high quality sushi and sashimi. You should care less about a tasteful interior like you find at Zuma and Megu. Address: 10/F Henry House, 42 Yun Ping Road, Causeway Bay.
