This is the first time I’m having a meal at the BluHouse. I had been to the other three restaurants/ cafes in this hotel. But BluHouse’s impresses me the most with their service.But since readers of this article may be more interested with the food quality so I’m going to talk about food first.As a first timer, I referred to the ‘most-favourited food sections on Open Rice. Octopus salad, Pizza with Tuna, Burrata, and Tiramisu was all that we ordered. (Excuse that I didn’t note down the Italian n

As a first timer, I referred to the ‘most-favourited food sections on Open Rice. Octopus salad, Pizza with Tuna, Burrata, and Tiramisu was all that we ordered. (Excuse that I didn’t note down the Italian name of the dishes…But I bet you can find them on the menu, you smart ones)
Sour dough bread – It’s complimentary as you would expect. It has a crunchy crust, and is soft inside. It’s everything that you would expect from a fresh sour dough bread, except it’s not obviously sour. ( I guess many people don’t know how to enjoy a real sour dough so it’s a wise choice to serve less sour-sour dough bread in a HK restaurant. And also, it’s complimentary. So it is fine as long as it is fresh.)

Burrata with Pesto & Cherry tomatoes I didn’t want to order this as it’s around HKD290 when (I thought) I could get the burrata with HKD60 from online shop. But I was wrong. This Burrata is huge like a goat stomach XD…Luckily we were sharing.
I can never forget the best burrata dish that I had was with some condense, sweet balsamic vinegar. But perhaps it’s too expense that none of the other places in HK serve burrata like that. At BluHouse, sister chose to have this with pesto sauce. The Pesto sauce goes very well with the burrata, except it has a very small problem which was where the unexpected begins…(if you read this long)
There was something as small as a sour pea pit (caper) but as sharp as an oyster shell in the pesto sauce which hurt my sister’s mouth. She was upset and in pain. (I wasn’t upset as I wasn’t the one who got hurt) But the waiters/ managers were handling her emotions well so there wasn’t a big scene in the restaurant (so that everyone else can still enjoy our meals). This incident has also shown me the extraordinary service that this restaurant can provide. We all understand that accidents can happen, and may even think that the victims are making such a big deal when we’re not the victims ourselves. But waiters/ managers here are calm and empathetic. There were quite a lot of high-end restaurants that my family and I had been to, including those with Michelin stars, or some in top-notch hotels. My sister could still find a way to criticize the food, the service, and everything else. But this time, she made no complains except that sharp object that hurt her. Tiramisu – You think it’s time for me to come back to food? Yes, for a bit. The tiramisu is HKD110! OMG. Yes it is delicious but the liquor is a bit too strong for my taste, coming from someone who had around 10+ glasses of red the other night..But I did finish it (the tiramisu) without feeling too bad. That most probably needs to thank to my iced Americano.
Iced Americano – It has a decent price tag HKD48 and it has totally lived up to it. I thought it’s hard to make a good iced americano as it would be diluted as the ice melts. But the iced americano here didn’t feel diluted even after all ice melted. Love it.Last but not least, even before the incident happened, I was already quite impressed by the service standard here.
The day before the booking, it was typhoon day (T8-10). But I got a call from the restaurant to confirm the booking! I wasn’t expecting that.
Despite everyone of them look so busy and fast-moving all the time (they really look like busy bees in fast-forward pace), when I was holding a menu, starring at them, without raising my hand (I was told that raising hand is not polite so I tried. Go on and laugh at me), I could usually get their attention 3 out of 5 times. (When I failed, I just raised hand a little.)
One more thing. They remembered to put a happy birthday tag on the very small Tiramisu that I ordered even though I didn’t remind them. All I did was marking in the Openrice booking that it was my dad’s birthday. Isn’t that amazing? It is actually a very important gesture to keep everyone happy. So I appreciate it.
Thanks for reading until here. Until then, have a happy life!
