Café Gray Deluxe (Hong Kong)

Café Gray Deluxe is located in The Upper House, a hotel situated above Pacific Place in Hong Kong.(@UpperHouse_HKG). Elliot and I went to Café Gray Deluxe for lunch one day (the restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, Sunday brunch, afternoon tea, and dinner). Thanks to Ali at Café Gray Deluxe, we were taken good care of and had more than enough for lunch. Do you understand the reason why I always turn into a fat piggy during vacation???

Everything I had at Café Gray Deluxe was delicious! Great flavours in every dish and nothing was bland / boring. If I had to pick a favourite dish, it would be the Red Curry Snapper....and the Lobster-Barley Risotto. Sorry, it is hard for me to ever choose just one favourite =D
