I came across with the Instagram of my friend and saw this restaurant. The food and environment look great and I decided to go to Sai Wan to give it a try.
Environment and decoration
The distance between tables are not close and you could...still enjoy a certain extent of privacy. Although the ceiling is not high enough, the restaurant is surrounded with a 180o sea view with window wall, which make the restaurant more spacious than it actually is.
Special Compliment
The sea horizon is snapped in your eyes, with blue sky and a bit of clouds. I believe no one would be tired of this view. In daytime, having lunch under the sunbathe makes your day. My friends and I stayed in the restaurant from 12- noon to 3ish and with no guilt as waiters would not show a bit of dissatisfaction on your long staying. Bravo!
Food and Presentation
In this regard, I have ordered a set lunch, with baby squid with chorizo and US chicken breast with tomato and cheese.
Baby Squid – The taste is a bit salty, but the taste is well-balanced. Slightly fried chopped/minced chorizo as the seasonings of the dish, with the balsamic black vinegar on top makes the dish remarkable.
US chicken breast – The presentation is really far less comparable to the taste. The chef slow cooked the chicken breast in order to keep the juice in the meat and avoid the possibility of over chewy. Cheese is melted inside the chicken breast. The combination is nice. However, the colour of the dish is somehow too pale. All in all, it is a dish with good taste and smell, yet dull.
Conclusion
Overall, the vibe is awesome, service is good and the food is surprisingly outstanding. Value-for-money wise as lunch, I will rate 8.5 out of 10.More
