Always on the look out for the next pizza or pasta that impresses, we have been to a few recently opened trattorias and ristorantes in town. I will come straight to the point, Placo in Chai Wan which I blogged earlier, remains the winner. It is best for casual pizza and pasta nights with family and friends, I can guarantee satisfaction. The attention to details can be felt right across the board, as in this traditional Marinara pizza with tomato and mozzarella, adding a twist of poached eggs. It would bring the blood pressure of a die-hard Italian way up but the yolk did bring a bit of 'Carbonara' to the party, quite refreshing. Our second pizza was a super fragrant black truffle with ceps, and we also had gooey oven baked raclette with new potatoes, 3 pastas - pesto, mushroom cream and braised oxtail - simple, classic, wholesome, authentic and rewarding.
No stars (yet) and no pretenses, just fresh ingredients cooked in the best way Chef Ken and his crew know how. What more can you ask for? Palco is still located in mid town Chai Wan but it will soon be relocated to Wanchai. Go soon .. like in the next few weeks .. as the new venue will bring teething issues and you might end up blaming me for false reporting.
