Searching for a great pizza in HK can be a difficult and trying task, especially if you have tasted the delicious offerings on every street corner in NYC.  That's why we were ecstatic to hear Motorino was opening a branch right here in our city.  The authentic NYC pizza joint located amidst the busy escalators leading to Soho, incorporates cozy seating and a state of the art wood fired oven, perfect for making Motorino's famous pizzas.  We started with a selection of appetizers and instantly fell in love with their Meatballs, made from both pork and veal.  It was hard to make a decision between the mouthwatering selection of pizzas but settled on one white base and one tomato based.  The Brussels Sprouts pizza was fresh and light with a unique combination of flavours. Our favourite was the Soppressata Piccante which was melting with delicious cheese and spicy soppressata. Don't miss the insanely rich and indulgent Torta al Cioccolato for dessert and you must try the Gragnano wine which goes perfectly with everything on the menu.  An ideal spot for a bite with friends or to take away if you are craving comfort food at home.  Can't wait to try more of their pizza selection.

We are huge fans of Socialito here at Hungry Hong Kong and were very excited to sample their new summer menu.  Set just inside the popular and always buzzing Taqueria located on Wyndham street is a decadent and luxurious dining spot.  Think dim ambient lighting, cozy booths and large dining tables, enticing music, and Latin American fine dining.  Many of our favourite dishes included their delicious and fresh seafood.  You must try their Scallop Tiradito and Panamanian Tuna Tostaditas.  Both packed with flavour and a perfect antidote to HK's humid and heated summer.  For your main course do not miss the perfectly spiced Brazilian Spiced Pork Loin and juicy USDA Prime Bone-In Ribeye.  Add a side of Black Beans with Cauliflower for a cool twist on a Latin American classic and pair everything with their new cocktail list.  The perfect spot for a big dinner with friends.  Order plenty, drink plenty and stay after hours to party.

Don't forget to pair it all with their light and sweet sangria and check out the discreet outdoor area and private dining rooms for a perfect dinner party venue.

Don't miss out on dessert either.  The galub jamun is always a favourite of mine and a perfect way to end a satisfying meal.  Great for dinner parties so you can order and share from the hunger inducing menu.  The location is quiet and discreet acting as an ideal escape from Wyndham Street's busy evenings.  Pair everything with delicious Indian beer and bring plenty of company so you can drink and share.
