Bread Street Kitchen

One of the joys living in Hong Kong is having all the quality restaurants from famous chefs in your neighbourhood. Sitting around the open kitchen, bar area with a modern mix of table lamps and pendants, and furniture in an obvious warm tone, we started our weekend brunch with a glass of cocktail and a bakery basket (pain as raisins, croissant, pain au chocolate) ($38)!


Breakfast gimlet ($98) is certainly a wake up drink, complemented with a great complexity from Bombay sapphire gin, grapefruit bitters & orange , marmelade tomato paste, ginger and lime juice. And best of all, Bread Street Kitchen launched the heavenly "Bottomless Lazy Loaf” to enjoy free flow of cocktail and wines for the two-hour brunch with an extra $188!


Yellowfin tuna ceviche ($158) is such a fresh appetizer to start our day! The fish melted in mouth and finished with creamy avocado, but then giving us a pleasant shock by the sweet onion and sesame vinaigrette.


And if you are looking for a comprehensive egg affair, be prepared to make some tough decisions from the brunch. Don’t miss out the Eggs Royale ($148 HKD). Take a gulp of silky smooth smoked salmon and poached eggs cushioned on an avocado complemented with the never gone wrong Hollandaise sauce, is simply heaven.


For mains, we opted for the highly recommended daily roast with root vegetables & yorkshire pudding ($428 for 2 to share) which cannot be missed. Individual sweetness of each veggie make for a powerful and moreish taste;beef were grilled to perfect pink complemented with a pungent truffle balsamic vinegar. The overall presentation showcased the best part of every ingredient beauty on the plate! Yum!


I am still able to recall the episode Gordon ramsay showcasing sharper’s pie at his home cooking TV series few years ago. And now back to his restaurant at the expensive street in HK, Shepherd’s pie with braised lamb, potato puree, brioche garlic crumbs ($208) is well seasoned, with a crunchy top of crust, without overpowering the unique lamb flavour.

Make sure to save room for dessert as numerous desserts are well designed to satisfyy everyone. Failed to just pick one, we sampled a wide selection. We have a lovely mug of strawberries, chantilly, eton mess that is topped with my favourite meringue ($88) and Coconut sorbet and generous layers of mellowed pineapple carpaccio($88) dressed in passion fruit sauce that makes up for the tropical approach to dessert.

Getting our sweet tooth satisfied, we concluded our meal with sticky toffee pudding, muscovado caramel and clotted cream ($88), is a sweet and comforting kind of dessert with a very rich texture; miles away from the sickly sweet one.

Brining the high standard of food quality and consistency to Hong Kong, Bread Street is a successful case, satisfying our picky stomach!
