A Thai fusion lunch for less than US$12 at Clicked in Sheung Wan
- Clicked combines East and West on its menu: the highlight was the pad Thai
- The bland decor is offset by the flavourful dishes and the potential for people- watching
If you are looking for a lunch spot where you can splurge on Maine lobster tail or an Angus tenderloin one day, then opt for a more modest seafood fried rice or vegetable curry the next, Clicked in Sheung Wan could be your answer.
The new restaurant offers excellent service, reasonably inventive Thai fusion dishes, and bistro-style dining. Seating around the central bar opens up onto bustling Bonham Strand for prime people watching, with a quieter back area.
Although colour was lacking in the space’s grey, bland decor, we found it was not missing from the cuisine.
At first glance, the “absolute Thai fusion” menu looks like a hodgepodge of southeast Asian restaurant staples with some higher-priced or popular Western-style dishes thrown in.
But a closer look shows inventive combinations, with flavours such as mango, toasted coconut, kaffir lime leaves and Thai sweet basil getting extensive play throughout the menu, which is divided into small plates and mains, with a separate lunch menu.
