Omurice at Hidden Kitchen


It seems like there aren't many places in Hong Kong that have a good Omurice (Japanese Omelette Rice). I tried the one at UCC but I was very disappointed. The rice was really dry and the egg was rubbery.

My problem was solved when I found Hidden Kitchen in Causeway Bay!

Omurice with Tomato Sauce
Hidden Kitchen's Omurice is super good. They have a fluffy, runny omelette draped gently over a bed of fried rice, instead of the fried rice being wrapped in a thin egg "crepe". They use Japanese rice in their fried rice too. The Omurice lunch set was $98+10% (includes salad, soup, and a drink).

Other choices on their lunch menu include hamburg steak in demi-glace with rice ($108+10%). The hamburger patty is moist, but the star is the demi-glace for sure.

Their beef cheek stew ($148+10%) is also very good - the beef is very tender. I just wish that there were more chunks of beef (I think there were only four).


Beef Cheek Stew
Worth a try if you have time for a lunch in Causeway Bay. Unfortunately, they don't take reservations and they are closed on Sundays and public holidays.
