Finding a cost-effective boutique buffet in Hong Kong is not an easy task, and a casual hotel-style buffet restaurant will cost at least HK$600 per person. Mr. Steak, a key shopping mall in Causeway Bay, in the World Trade Center, is not a star-rated hotel, but it also has a high-quality buffet standard and affordable prices, making it a "Pingliangzheng" boutique buffet restaurant recommended by locals.
The restaurant's hottest spot is the Saga Wagyu beef section, where chefs prepare fresh food on the spot, and many gourmets line up to get their food as soon as they're seated. Wagyu sukiyaki is a sweet sukiyaki soup made with beef, slightly boiled, and immediately removed to give it a soft, fatty texture that melts in your mouth. Grilled Wagyu sushi is made by spreading thin beef with clear marbling and fat on top of the rice, then swept with sauce and grilled on a stone slab. These two dishes are must-haves at the restaurant, and diners will have to wait patiently in line to get them.
The cold seafood section includes freshly opened oysters, Boston lobster, Scottish brown crab, champagne crab legs, fresh mussels and frozen shrimp, some of which are subject to seasonal adjustments, but the overall quality is relatively stable. The barbecue area includes Australian lamb rack, pan-fried duck liver with caramelized apples, and Japanese teppanyaki prawns, which are also popular. The sushi sashimi section has a daily airlift of freshly selected ingredients, including salmon shellfish, fresh scallops, and sweet shrimp, as well as a variety of hand-held rolls, but unfortunately no cold pasta. In the hot dish fresh steaming area, there are steamed scallops with gold, silver and garlic vermicelli, steamed halibut, etc. The Hong Kong-style dim sum platter of sea cucumber and duck paw, braised shiitake mushrooms with oyster emperor, and sea red shrimp with salt and pepper can best restore the local flavor. In addition, there are also appetizers such as boiled snails in spicy wine, scallops with scallops, clay pot with lettuce, nourishing pork knuckles with ginger vinegar, turquoise Sichuan pepper chicken balls and beef ribs with pepper.
The restaurant's Southeast Asian section also serves a variety of dishes, including Malay beef brisket curry, Thai red chicken curry, Indian crispy, Indian cracker, Malay pancakes, scallop steak and homemade lotus leaf rice, but Wagyu beef and Chinese dishes will largely overshadow the show. There are a variety of authentic cheeses, black-haired pork dried legs, Norwegian smoked salmon, etc., although there are not many types, they basically cover popular Western dishes. Finally, there are a variety of handmade eye-catching desserts, among which the most recommended is to try the signature heart-warming is too soft, the taste is soft and sweet, and it is also deeply loved by children. In addition, there are various cakes with small shapes, ace 3.6 milk pudding, super popular cheese tarts, a variety of traditional fresh Chinese desserts, and free matching banana boats.
The interior of the restaurant has been renovated to become bright and spacious, and the spacious lobby also provides diners with a comfortable dining experience. The service staff in the restaurant will be a little unable to take into account when they are busy, although they can complete the basic service requirements, but the overall quality is indeed not as good as the finishing of the star hotel, and a service fee will also be charged. The restaurant's prime location in the World Trade Center, the mall's high foot traffic, and its cost-effective ratio attract many diners, so you need to make a reservation in advance to avoid waiting for a table. In addition to Hong Kong dollars, the following payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, AE, UnionPay and JCB.
