After arriving and checking into the hotel, I was just wandering around the Peninsular Centre looking for something, preferably, vegetarian. As I was walking past this cafe, (a litle more than a hole in the wall), the lady standing outside, figured out my nationality and instantly poked a Jain/Vegetarian menu into my face and invited me in. I had a look and excused myself mumbling that I'll look elsewhere. I was clearly not impressed. But after wandering around a bit and not finding anything to my liking, I walked into this joint. The lady was delighted to have me and instantly poked the same menu at me saying I should try their Penne Arrabiata. She was joined by her colleague, a genial young man. I gave in as I was very hungry by that time. For the side, I ordered garlic bread and a hot lemon tea to wash it all down. I resigned myself to a mediocre tasteless meal as my first impression about the place wasnt good. The food arrived and I got down to the business. The food was really good. The arrabiata sauce could have been a little redder (meaning more tomatoes), but it tasted good. The garlic bread pieces were grilled crisp with generous dabs of butter and went well with the pasta. The best part were the portions. They were generous and I couldnt do justice to both. The lemon tea also was particularly well-brewed and it was a fitting finale to the meal. The cost of the entire meal was very reasonable by HK standards The next day, I went there again with three friends of mine. We could meet the owner of the restaurant, a Bangladeshi gentleman. He pointed out to us that he catered to the strict vegetarians and Jains and kept a separate kitchen for these people so that they can dine without burdening their conscience. Very nice of him! It is very rare to find an eating joint catering to a niche population in a place like Hong Kong. Needless to say, the lunch was also excellent and all of us enjoyed it.
