Tang Lung st in Causeway Bay is known for its various eateries including ramen, yakiniku, hot pot (we always go to ‘Paradise of King Asia Seafood hot pot’ for their drunk cow~) and of course it’s where Sound View Plaza is situated where people are lining up for Jamie’s Italian.
The Point is a new comer, right on the corner and everytime we are passing by we see it crowded with a line outside. Finally curiousity killed the cat one said evening and we decided to have pizza there for dinner.
The wait wasn’t too long, around 15 minutes and when it was our turn there were no more tables left so we were directed to the communal high tables. The menu is one-paged, a few options per category for appetizers, pasta, pizza and salad.
We started with chicken lollipops and truffle cheese fries.
The chicken lollipops came as 5 per serving, and they were quite tiny with a drizzle of sweet, smokey bbq sauce. Luckily they were fried nicely, crunchy while remaining juicy and flavourful on the inside.
Truffle cheese fries were a given as who could resist TRUFFLES and FRIES! This was disappointing as it was a meager portion and the chips were lukewarm. The scent of truffles could be smelt, but not tasted meaning they were stingy on the truffle oil.
When it comes to pizza, Mr. C likes absolute minimal toppings so margherita tends to be the choice. This came out quickly after the appetizers as The Point uses a 300 degrees oven which can cook a pizza in 3 minutes. Lookwise it gets topmarks, nicely charred, melted mozzarella cheese with a generous scatter of cherry tomatoes. The base is thin and biscuity which I am not a fan of as the middle ends up soggy and floppy while the crust is stiff and hard. The first couple of bites are pretty good, juicy tomatoes and stretchy cheese, but it quickly becomes boring.
It was a last minute decision to add a pasta dish, I was already pretty full, but Mr. C didn’t seem too satisfied. We picked the Vongole spaghetti and it was surprisingly tasty. Nicely al dente pasta, with a slight chilli kick.
I think Hong Kong has much better choices for pizza so unless I was in the area and craving pizza I would revisit. Many reviews had mentioned the staff’s bad attitude where they acted expressionless and emotionless, two of the female servers were like that, but it didn’t bother us too much since we got our order promptly and correctly.
