Rustico Shop G01, G/F, D2 PLACE Phase 1, 9 Cheung Yi Street, Lai Chi Kok Lunch Set (Appetizer + Main Course + Dessert + Drink) Appetizers🍽 ▶️ Traditional Spanish garlic soup with poached egg and chili sausage The soup is cooked quite thick.. Drinking the spicy taste of garlic .. after drinking to find the soup is already 3 minutes full 🙈 spring egg cooking time just right! Poke through the egg. The egg yolk will make the soup smoother ▶️ Grilled beef thin slices with tuna salad dressing with Sicilian watermelon strips When it was served, I was still wondering where the beef slices were😆 The tuna salad dressing really has tuna flavor😳 It should be beaten with salad dressing and shredded tuna! The beef slices are not grilled, not chewy~ but the beef flavor is rather bland~ Main course🥘 ▶️ Pan-fried Scottish salmon with green asparagus and mashed potatoes with hollandaise sauce The salmon is not like other restaurants where you can choose 78% cooked 🙈 a bit disappointed 🙈 Luckily, the cooking time will not be too long! It also locks the fish oil flavor 😋 Full of salmon oil flavor! The crust is so crispy and delicious! ▶️ Specialty stewed lamb lasagna Plenty of cheese spread on top ~ lamb has so flavor. However, I like so flavor strong so it feels quite good 😋 The face is more soft .. the face a stick to fall .. If the middle with some cheese sticky would be better .. ▶️Dessert🍮 Peach cheese tart An ordinary piece of dessert😹 CP value: 6/10 Lam Tongue Index: 7/10 #foodie

Spain gives me a passionate and hot feeling! The best way to experience this country before having the chance to visit is to try the local cuisine, and when I think of my favorite Spanish restaurants, Lai Chi Kok is the first place that comes to mind. This is Rustico located in D2 Place, Lai Chi Kok! I couldn’t stop thinking about the main dishes of Spanish chef Javier Pérez Freire after trying them for the first time last time, so I finally made an appointment with my friends to relive the delicious taste together today. The red brick walls in the store create a Spanish-like atmosphere, and it feels even more relaxing to sit next to the glass window for the first time. Start with the homemade crispy cream balls at $128 to whet your appetite! It is fried until crispy and not greasy, with smooth cream filling inside. It tastes superbly good with the greasy air-dried ham. Foie gras mousse with green apple and smoked mackerel $178! This very refreshing looking dish turned out to be from the Axis of Evil. The wicked foie gras mousse is very sweet with a hint of wine in the mouth, and the bottom layer is sour and fragrant green apple slices sandwiched with smoked mackerel, paired with crispy toast. When you put it in your mouth and enjoy it together, the layering and taste are super rich and satisfying. Spanish tomato buffalo cheese salad $158! The sweet tomatoes paired with the smooth buffalo cheese bring out a refreshing and delicious flavor. Spanish runny eggs with spicy sausage $128! This dish can be served with a choice of ham in addition to spicy sausage. After piercing the runny egg, mix the egg juice with spicy sausage and diced potatoes. The rich and substantial taste is very satisfying. The egg is rich and the spicy sausage is salty and delicious. The roasted potato cubes on the side dish are even more fragrant and delicious. Spanish Oxtail Rice $418! The soup is perfectly integrated into the rice, making it fragrant but not smelly, while the rice still has the proper texture. This rice is truly wonderful. Traditional Castilian roast suckling pig with herb-gratinated potatoes $348! This dish is made with baby suckling pig that is slow-cooked for 12 hours and then grilled over charcoal until the surface is golden and crispy. It is very attentive and looks very tempting. The suckling pig skin is very crispy and has a rich aroma. The meat inside is still tender and smooth, and it is full of meaty aroma and is very delicious. A glass of coffee liqueur after a meal helps digestion! It has a sweet taste with a rich aroma of coffee and nuts, but the alcohol content is as high as 30 percent, so be careful if you are not a heavy drinker. Traditional Spanish Churro Crispy Strips $75 is definitely a classic Spanish dessert! The hot aroma is instantly condensed in the space. In addition to the crispy bars, it is also paired with a chocolate mousse ice cream cup. You can dip the crispy bars in it and enjoy the freedom of ice and fire. I recommend Rustico to friends who like passionate Spanish cuisine. I guarantee that your mouth will be filled with joy and satisfaction.

I don't eat Spanish food often, but my wife loves it. As a considerate husband, I'm more than happy to join her for a great meal. Rustico at D2 Place in Lai Chi Kok has been around for many years, but I had never tried it! Tonight, I finally had the chance to taste the new chef's dishes with my wife. The main decor theme with red brick walls really gives off a Spanish vibe, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant is quite nice. My wife mentioned that the restaurant recently welcomed a new head chef, Javier Pérez Freire, so we immediately invited friends to try his culinary skills. I always feel that Spanish cuisine must be accompanied by Sangria. My wife and I chose one red and one white Sangria. The white wine was refreshing, while the red wine was sweeter. The Andalusian-style Spanish bluefin tuna sashimi was prepared using a Western-style marination method. The tuna's texture was very tender, and the slightly sour vinegar flavor was quite appetizing. The Catalonian olive oil roasted vegetables with oil-preserved Spanish bluefin tuna belly offered a different sensation! The tuna belly was slow-cooked in oil, making it even more tender and flavorful, and the unique pear wine vinegar seasoning added a special touch. The Canary Islands wrinkled potatoes with dual traditional spicy sauces were a hit with my wife. The potatoes themselves were already very flavorful, and the spicy red and green pepper sauces made them even better. The Asturian-style stewed white beans looked like soup but was actually a juicy bean stew. Besides white beans, it also contained spicy sausage and blood sausage, making it rich and filling. The Madrid-style stewed tripe had a strong beef flavor! The honeycomb tripe was tender and well-seasoned, and the dish was packed with chickpeas, spicy sausage, and Iberian ham, offering a rich texture. The Basque-style Pil Pil sauce cod cheeks! Everyone knows how tender fish cheeks are, and this black cod was exceptionally tender. The slightly sour and fragrant sauce made it a unique and special taste experience. Now for the highlight of the night! This was the top-grade aged Rubia Gallega ribeye from Galicia. Rubia Gallega is a native cattle breed from northwest Spain, and I was curious about how it would taste. Chef Javier first let us take pictures of the huge piece of beef before cutting it for us to savor slowly. Wow! This was my favorite medium-rare, so tender and mouth-watering! The chef simply seasoned it with salt, without any extra sauces, allowing us to taste the beef's original flavor. The super tender ribeye had a captivating color! The meat was soft with a nice beef aroma. My wife doesn't eat beef, but she appreciated the green peppers and fried potatoes on the side. The Aragonese slow-cooked lamb shank with nut garlic sauce! The slow-cooking method made the lamb shank incredibly tender, and the nut garlic sauce added a delightful flavor. This traditional Castilian roast suckling pig was a performance dish, as the waiter used a plate to cut the pig, showcasing its crispiness. The suckling pig's skin was crispy, and the meat was tender and juicy! It was flavorful but also indulgent, perfect for sharing with friends. For a filling dish, we had this large pot of traditional Valencian chicken paella! Besides chicken, it also included white beans and green beans, making it very hearty and sure to fill you up. Finally, everyone should try the Porrón Cider to test their drinking skills! Share this cider jug with friends without touching your lips to the jug, making it fun and enhancing friendships.

The slow-cooked pork retains rich gravy and a light herb flavor. #Hongkongfood #goodplacesforfamily #foodie #localtravel #goodplacesinhongkong #goodplacesinsummer #summerfoodierecommendations #hkfoodie #hkfoodblogger
