Lee lo Mei was the first stop for our reserved dinner on our HK trip, and boy did it disappoint.
First up the atmosphere , nothing bad to say, it was hip old school Chinese super cool place! For the service it's there, people are friendly.
We arrived a little earlier and sat at the bar until our reservation came and had some happy hour promos.
Let's talk about food the reason why we came here. We ordered 5 things and 2 HH drinks.
HK fries- served with cheese and salted egg yolk, side truffle mayo. The salted egg yolk can't be tasted but you could see the crumble, eating it by itself didn't taste anything at all. The truffle mayo was the star of the dish. Nice and pungent very addictive.
Lemon grass shrimp- a play on Viet snack with sugar cane. Shrimp mixture was like a fried fishball though the mixture needs salt. Was served with a side of vinegar mixture, you'll need more than what they gave cuz there barely any taste.
Squid stuff dough fritter- highlight of the meal, crispy exterior nice interior, sauce matched
Grilled scallop- rip off. A play on bacon wrapped asparagus, but instead of bacon they use scallop. How ? Probably made a thing paste roll it up and grilled it. The scallop flavour is close to nothing might have just used fishball paste ... uni sauce was for color can't be tasted as well. Truffle sauce was good. Not worth ordering this dish. Almost a price of a large dish.
Mini char Siu buns- delicious moist patty good chutney.
Overall I was hoping for Lee Lo Mei to be a winner with exciting food options but it was barely there. Very disappointing food option . Though for cocktails and drinking different story. Review is based on food
