I kept reminding myself to blog about what happened last Saturday (15/10/2011) but I always end up forgetting. Anyways, last saturday, Jcel and I decided to meet up for late lunch. She said she was famished. We decided to have lunch at Amici in Langham Mongkok. The restaurant was quiet, clean and was located on the top floor.
Moving along, we decided to choose their lunch set, which included an 8"inch pizza, 3 choices of main dishes, soup or salad and coffee/tea or soft drinks. The thing was, the set lunch was good for 4 people. But we didn't care! As I've said, Jcel was famished and so was I.

| Jcel - enjoying her "Pumpkin Soup" |
The first one they served was the "Pumpkin Soup" with Bread and Butter on the side. It was alright, but was not the best soup I've tasted. The bread that came with it was hard as a rock.
Then came the salad. When comes to salads, I am very picky, but this time I actually enjoyed it. It was good, and it was just enough to get that after taste of the Pumpkin Soup.
I only had a piece of the pizza because of so many reasons. After trying so hard to consume my first piece, I just couldn't have another bite. The thing is, the seafood pizza has this particular smell that I did not like plus it has an "After taste" (which I do not know how to articulate so forgive me for being so vague about it). Jcel thinks it did not taste as much as we expected it to be.
Moving on to the main course...
The Main dish came with a Snack Platter, which consist of - Onion Rings (It was HUGE rings btw), Chicken Wings ( Jcel and I had a good laugh about it, cause it was 1 whole wing cut into halves. So technically, there were just 3 wings and they made it look as if there were 6 wings on the plate. Tricky!!) then there's the Calamari (which I think was the only good thing in that platter).
The Main Dish was the - "Lasagna la forno" more like, "Lasagna la inferno" My first impression was... is this suppose to be like this? It was as if we were served with a "Burnt Offering". But nonetheless, Jcel and I are the type of people that don't want to make a fuss out of the little things so we need not to complain. In all fairness, it tasted good. That is all I'm going to say.
The 2nd Main Dish was The BOMB dot COM! - The Spare Ribs. We enjoyed it so much, we literally finished the whole thing! The meat was soft, the sauce was set on the side which also was good. It came with fries as well, but it looked as if it was reheated. So no one even bothered to touch it.
Jcel can sure make those wacky faces. lol We had leftovers, but we decided not to pack the food cause it was just way too much.
left overs:
2pcs sea food pizza
Onion Rings (untouched)
Lasagna La forno (most of it)
Fries (eekkk)
Potato Wedges
So that's our "Lunch" for last Saturday. My over all review for Amici Restaurant in Langham is 7 out of 10. The best part was, we only paid $328.00 (hkd) for the whole set also we had 2 cups of coffees and 2 soft drinks.
The coffee was too strong so we requested for more milk, instead the server gave us our bill. He was throwing us out of the restaurant?! Hmmp! hahaha Kidding, he just heard us wrong. He was really embarrassed about it, but we told him it was okay and paid the bill. I guess he felt that it was time for us to leave cause we've been there for quite some time from 2pm to 4pm (I think). We were taking in our food as slow as possible.
After Amici, we decided to walk around Langham... we were so stuffed, we could hardly breathe! Then, of course, we went shopping at Cotton On the best place to shop for clothes with good prices and good quality as well.
Cheers!
Bex & Jcel
