Dinner at The Optimist (Wan Chai, Hong Kong)
I have been to The Optimist for brunch but this time it be will my very first time to eat dinner here. As mentioned in my previous blog about this restaurant, The Optimist have 3 floors and we were assigned at the 2nd floor with the sofa seat.
For starters, we had a platter of Oysters with bloody Mary shots, Grilled Octopus and Broken Eggs

Overall, my first dinner experience at The Optimist was great. The food were all tasty and up to standard. My most favorite dish was the Seafood Charcoal Baked Rice. I am the type who like to eat rice with savoury taste and a little bit of sauce, I call it "soupy rice". I can't wait to be back.
PS: They do not have 10% service charge. All tips goes to the lovely staffs.
Yours Sincerely,
