Lauren Crothers

2/F Sun Hung Kai Centre,

30 Harbour Road, Wan Chai

Tel: 2598 7222

Open: Monday to Sunday,

12 noon-2.30pm and 6pm-10.30pm

Cuisine: Thai.

Ambience: Relaxed, casual dining.

Price: About $250 per person, including a glass of wine and a 10 per cent service charge.

Pros: We were impressed with how  efficient the service was. We were served  our mains as soon as our starter plates had been cleared. The restaurant boasts an open kitchen, but because of  the  layout only people in the back sections can  see it. When we took into account  how much we'd eaten, we realised how reasonably priced the food is.

Cons: It was disappointing that, despite the extensive wine list, there was only one red and one white available by the glass.   And although it's a Thai restaurant, we would have liked the dessert menu to have had  at  least one chocolate item.  Still, if you've had  enough  with Thai  by the time dessert comes around, you can order dessert from Milano, a sister restaurant on the same floor.

Recommended dishes: Everything we ate was  enjoyable. The starter of  crab and avocado rice paper rolls ($48) came with a lovely dipping sauce, and the shrimp spring rolls ($75) were equally good.  The mains  complemented each other well. The red curry with chicken ($68) was delicious alongside the shrimp fried rice ($75, left). The steamed sea bass ($108) was exquisite, particularly with the lemongrass and chilli sauce.  Mango black and white sticky rice ($58) ended the meal nicely, as did the liquid-centred chocolate pudding ($78) from Milano.

What else? The second floor of the Sun Hung Kai Centre is occupied by four Harilela Strategic Group restaurants, of which Sukhothai is one.
