Olive

Not many restaurants serving Middle Eastern or Greek in Hong Kong. I have a taste in both cuisines because of their extensive use of herbs, mutton, cheese and vegetables which I like.

The menu of Olive hinted that its dishes are given bits of modern touches.

Baked Rice Shaped Pasta with Tomato, Red Pepper Confit, Pine Nuts and Feta

Looked like some kind of children food cos of the rice shaped pasta? The pasta was coated in a thin red pepper confit and tomato, nice accompany from the pine nuts and feta cheese.

Chicken Strips and Egyptian Egg on a Minted Cabbage Salad

I was wondering what is 'Egyptian egg' - it showed me that it means fried egg.
The fry gave the boiled egg surface a crispy texture, while the interior was still soft.

Vegetable moussaka with tomato, mint and feta salad

Already quite full when this moussaka arrived. The stripes of eggplant were nice and tender with nice match of mint, cheese and tomato.
