Stormies @ Lan Kwai Fong
On a Thursday night my friend and I decided to try out the ladies night promotion at Lan Kwai’s Stormies. Their menu is not extensive – a couple of soup and salads, sandwiches and burgers, steaks, ribs, pastas – reminds me of a shorter version of Hard Rock Café’s menu (which is re-opening nearby in LKF this year apparently!!!). We decided on a spinach salad, burger and king crab legs.
Spinach salad ($88) was definitely a starter size. Dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette, toppings included strawberries, blueberries, goats cheese and pecans. Quite tasty and we both liked the pairing of fruit and spinach.
Stormies’ Burger ($88) was a medium sized burger with a thin beef patty that was ordered to be medium-well. It came with a side salad and seasoned fries. The burger itself was pretty much…..bad. The beef was way too tough – especially on the outer rims where it had been fully cooked – and there was no natural beef juices at all present. Comparing this to my last burger at HKJC’s Food Plaza this was…. unimpressive. Fries were pretty good according to my friend and she proceeded to finish them all, since I hate dislike potatoes.
Alaskan King Crab Legs ($128 for small size) – was served warm. It tasted quite salty from the parsley butter sauce but really tasty. They came with two long pieces of garlic buttered bread which were nicely charred from the grill. The crab legs were meaty and in general very good.
For this meal we ended up paying about $100 each, quite reasonable for the quality of food we received. But whether I would pay their original listed price for the salad and burger in particular is another story – I didn’t think the portion or quality of beef justified their standard prices at all.
