Tapas A’Peel, Soho, Hong Kong

There seems to be a lot of tapas around Hong Kong – the in thing for 2013 perhaps? Tapas a’Peel can be found in the hidden tiny lane in the heart of Soho – took me a while to find this restaurant, it is actually on Peel Street, overlooking Pak Sze Lane Park. The restaurant is tiny – probably fit about 20 diners and a private room is also available. Décor is quite rustic and warm, it was quite dark at night, making it hard to take photos!

We started the garlic loaf with rosemary and sea salt which was freshly baked and wonderfully warm. It was incredibly aromatic and came with extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic  which I love. Dragon really enjoyed this bread and could not stop eating it.

I couldn’t go past the avocado, Italian vine tomato and campana buffalo mozzarella with lemon dressing. It was incredibly light and refreshing and delicious!

The grilled pork skewers with tzatziki was ok – the pork was a little on the tough side but I do love tzatziki.

The sautéed chorizo and olives in olive oil, chili and garlic were a little on the salty side – even for ‘The Mother’ and he loves salty food!

The grilled beef tenderloin skewers which were marinated in garlic, ginger and soy sauce was infinitely more tender than the pork skewers.

Unfortunately we weren’t blown away by the choices of desserts hence decided to save our stomach and our calories. Meal was ok, there are definitely better options for tapas I think. Service was definitely friendly and polite.
