Grub: Mostly pasta and pizza, but there is a range of other appetisers and snacks.
Vibe: A small, unpretentious place, with young, friendly staff. There are a few tables with stools that offer a view out onto Staunton Street. For those that want to hang out a little longer, there are retro games such as Connect Four and Uno or, for the solitary diner, some brain-teasing puzzles.
Who to bring: Anybody who's over electronic/online games. 
What's hot: This would be a good place to while away a wet afternoon. There games are obviously there to encourage you to hang out a while, and the menu is as easy going as everything else about the place. 
They do a very good poutine here, but on this visit, my friend and I were sharing and she didn't fancy it. The potato skins, onion rings and chicken wings were all very tempting: we ruled out the wings because we'd already decided to have chicken linguini, and decided to play Connect Four to decide between the other two. If I won, we'd get the potato skins; if my friend won, we were to have the onion. 
Luckily, I won - I was especially happy, as the potato skins were a good compromise for the poutine.
It wouldn't be entirely accurate to call them skins because most of the potato is still in them. Only a small amount had been remove to make room for mozzarella cheese, ham and spring onion. They came with a dip that was a little bit too mayonnaise-based for my liking - one to avoid if you're not into the European approach to fries.
The linguini was blistering hot when it arrived and necessitated another two games of Connect Four while we waited for it to cool down enough to eat. (I lost both those games.) The sauce on the linguini was a little on the sticky side, but it was quite delicious nonetheless. Along with chunks of chicken, there were red and green peppers, oregano and a hint of lime which gave it a nice tangy flavour.
There are the usual suspects on the menu when it comes to soft drinks, but we ordered the iced lemon water, a less common choice. This is just plain water with a sliced lemon in it. Ludicrously simple, but very refreshing and an good way to cleanse the palette.
What's not: There are no desserts on the menu, which was beyond disappointing.
Cost: The pastas are HK$72-HK$88, and pizzas are HK$125-HK$160. Starters and snacks are all HK$40-HK$60. Not cheap, but worth it when you consider how long you can sit there playing games.
