Fika Restaurant & BAR — Restaurant in Sai Kung District

Went here ages ago. La Piazza is renowned for economical pastas as well as fine pastas. It used to be a good location especially when ATV's Clear water bay studio used to be located there but the crew and actors usually go for Chinese food and there is a really good canteen there (which should be listed on openrice) that does delicious chicken steak with garlic and spring onions and crispy pork patty with salted fish. Ordered the ravioil and squid ink pasta. ++++++++ Squid ink pasta with asparagus and prawn I mentioned that the ravioli was not hot enough so the chef ensured the squid ink pasta was piping hot. The pasta was stir-fried with garlic and some fine celery stalks in it. The pasta was extremely al-dente and slightly too oily with some odour from the pan but since I went late the pan had probably cooked many more pastas before so it accumulated some odours from the other dishes. The asparagus was big and it was surprising that they were not woody. The only thing that let it down was some sand in the pasta and I wasnt sure if it came from the prawns or the asparagus. On the menu this pasta is called shrimp and asparagus tonnarelin but when I googled tonnarelin I was referred to Tonnarelli. Tonnarelli is a thicker, more squared, version of spaghetti. I think the pasta was made in house because it had a different texture to the normal pasta and it was...

Fika has quickly become one of my go-to lunch spots in TKO. I've visited a few times now, and each experience has been equally delightful.

On my first visit, I opted for the slow-cooked chicken breast wrap, and I'm so glad I did. The tender, juicy chicken was wrapped in a soft, warm and crispy tortilla, accompanied by creamy avocado and a zesty dressing. It was the perfect balance of flavors and textures, leaving me feeling satisfied but not weighed down.

During my most recent trip, I decided to try something new - the crab meat spaghetti. This proved to be an absolute delight. The crab meat was sweet and succulent, expertly combined with a creamy spaghetti sauce.

What I appreciate most about Fika is the care and attention they put into their ingredients.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit...

Went for the first time last night on the recommendation of a neighbour who has lived in Clearwater Bay area for a long time. We are relative newbies to the area after a decade in Kennedy Town. The little Hang Hau village is also lovely for a stroll through at night makes me feel like Hong Kong of years ago. The restaurant is owned by two partners for over 18 years. Gary, one of the owners, was working when we were in and was extremely friendly - my wife really enjoyed his Margaritas on the rocks! The food was great and the portions were generous so we were easily able to share everything that we had ordered. With all of the chain restaurants everywhere, this is a little gem where you are looking for reliably yummy food with a personal touch that can only come from the owner...
