Neighborhood- Michelin Star and Asia’s 50 Best restaurant. The world famous chicken rice is a must order! We also had short rib with gem lettuce and “potatoes that taste like hash browns but better”; baby squid and duck garganelli. Also not pictured was the classic staple warm vegetable casserole, Mille feuille and tart tartin! Everything was consistently impeccable as always!!! Thank you chef @davidtlai 😋😋😋 #neighborhoodhk #soyummy #nomnomnom... More

Back to Neighbourhood last night and ordered all the fav dishes .
The Salt baked chicken is a must pre order . Coming out of its salt crust , it is lightly tanned, perfectly juicy , and full of flavour . The rice is studded with morels plus all the chicken bits , gizzards , heart, liver etc.. are found after a bit of a forage . The rice also plays a starring role and you must grab your fair share of the rice crust at the bottom .
Mackerel was the smoked fish of the day , judiciously handled and... More

Somehow 6 months have flown by since my last Neighbourhood visit , so popping in for a quick bite before boarding an evening flight was the very least I could do . This visit just cemented that I have to return ASAP.
Sizzling and tender baby squid with a trinity of garlic , herbs and chilli pepper , all balanced and evoking strong Mediterranean vibes .
One of the better tartares that I have had ( and I essentially love them all ) , beef and Sicilian red shrimp is combined , the shrimp both chopped... More

#chef @jimmy_limty ‘s famous Singapore style #curryfishhead . #neighborhoodhk x #jlstudio #taichung #4handsdinner , second series of Hong Kong x Taiwan collaboration. #fishhead is a staple of Neighborhood, and this curry version was the perfect solution for our menu.

2022 Top 10 Dishes
(No. 9 in chronological order)
Fish Skin, Fried Shirako, Potato Salad, Neighborhood, Hong Kong
December 2022
Neighborhood is one of those places I really miss when out of town. The menu changes everyday depending on what seasonal ingredients is available and David always manage to come up with new dishes that just works. Fried shirako here added creaminess and texture to the dish and the flavor reminds me of Chinese-style salt and pepper preparation
In addition to Hong... More

There are a few places that do good caneles, Neighborhood is one of them. They do a mini version as the final sweet treat. And if you are not into dessert 🤔, there are always some good cheese around. David knows his thing. Always the good stuff

The boss pulls out all the stops when Mr. Plotnicki comes to town. An amazing feast that threatened to put me in the emergency room of a hospital from having too much food.

As this place was highly recommended by a lot of international bloggers, I really thought I have to go there. After we have checked the menu, select basically every course on the menu, we tried to figure out why this location is hyped so much. OK, it is in Central, the quality of the food was fine, but you will find hundreds of restaurants in Europe with the same style and quality. Maybe that is the reason. The service and hosts are really great, but the food was disappointing for me. And also the... More
