Anna's comment: My colleague had a promotion recently. For celebration, he took us to a private label dinner. I must say that these dishes are very finely done, look good and taste good. It is kind of a new style of eating in Hong Kong. The menu is not publicly available and are mainly the private receipe of the restaurant owner. Thanks to my colleague who brought me this new dining experience in Hong Kong.

公館私房菜, 菜式用料都很家常, 但看得出廚師的心思和手藝, 用心去把尋常的食材做出獨運匠心的口味, 值得一讚. 但我問過服務員, 菜單不是自選的, 廚師要你吃什麼, 你便吃什麼, 一般是六小碟, 兩熱葷, 五主菜, 再加湯和甜品. 而且菜單大約每季才轉換一次.
