For a long time, it just didn't occur to me that many bars in Lan Kwai Fong had another life - as a restaurant serving up food long before the party goers come.
Calfornia (we're not talking about the Fitness club, also located near Lan Kwai Fong) is one such restaurant bar. After 11 pm on the weekends it turns into a pulsating somewhat dubious - fun but some would say rather meat marketish - nightclub, it serves up pretty decent lunch sets at lunchtime, and good dinner grub. Lately, it's become a favourite among us girls that head out for a supper after our boxing classes in Lan Kwai Fong.
Ambience: The interior of the restaurant is dominated by the U shaped bar on one end, and booths lining the walls and tables in the rest of the space (some of which make way for the dance floor later in the evenings). Somewhat at a basement leve, one side also has high windows which look out onto the pavement of a lane linking D'Aguilar and Lan Kwai Fong.
Menu: It has a broad western menu ranging from nachos, tacos, meat & veg dishes, pasta, soups to salads. Our favoured post boxing grub right now include the Cobb salad, which is a hearty salad with grilled scallops, prawns, chicken, avocado, bacon served with asparagus and a bed of mesclun salads (tossed in a light salad dressing) gives us the illusion that we are not putting all the exercise to waste. My personal favourite is the honey mustard chicken wings served with a cheese dip. Stay away from the cheese dip, the honey mustard marinate is enough to give the wings the full flavour, and delicious it is. Recently we discovered the chicken tacos which comes presented on a large square plate complete with 3 deep fried taco shells, slightly spicy chicken and bean salsa, and small separately bowls of tomato salsa, guacamole, cream cheese and cheese.
Price: ~$100 for lunch, $200 for supper + drinks, and more for dinner.
