Traditionalists that we are, we weren’t all that excited about Megan’s Kitchen. With its rainbow-colored cuttlefish balls and novelty soup bases, we felt it was all a bit gimmicky. But with our low expectations, we actually had a great time.

Illuminated by fairy lights and candles, and bursting to the seams with pretty silk flowers and quirky bric-a-brac, Le Blanc is one of Wan Chai’s best-kept secrets. The two orders of foie gras arrived promptly, but while one was delicious, the other was cold. Mains were excellent—a generous angus steak cooked to perfection, and a duck confit which fell off the bone and had the perfect amount of crisp skin and fat. The star of the menu, however, were the desserts—an apple strudel with cinnamon ice cream, and a fluffy, crisp meringue with fresh berry sauce and ice cream.

If it weren’t for the couple of kinks in the service (friendly but inattentive) then it would definitely have been a four-star experience. No corkage.

We were super excited to hear about a new Japanese restaurant at the Tiffin Tower, owned by the same folks who run the popular Mirror Restaurant a couple floors below and a sister restaurant called Ippo in Azabu, Tokyo.
At Ippou, specialties include yakimono and chicken hotpot as well as a more adventurous raw chicken sashimi. The keyword here is chicken—and not just any chicken; the poultry at Ippou is the highly prized “satsuma miyabi” species from Kagoshima.
Ippou is the latest resto to occupy the Tiffin Tower—which is home to Mirror Restaurant, one of the best French venues in town.
Imagine a counter with five stools, behind which two apron-clad dudes make sushi.
Yup, that just about sums up Yummy Sushi Ya, a quirky hole-in-the-wall that’s hidden on a quiet residential street near a public swimming pool. Though the official address says this little joint is on Wan Chai Road, it’s actually located just off of it, on the perpendicular Tak Yan Street.
