The pandemic has changed our family dynamics. My siblings are unable to visit the parents, so I become Amma's official photographer and share pictures of her food with the rest of the family. This is probably not a good idea: they can see but not taste lol, but it's a great way to document my weekly meals with Amma and Appa. Appa is as eager as Amma about the food that she cooks: he goes to the market in the morning to buy the ingredients, and over the meal they enthuse over the freshness of the vegetables and the tenderness of the meat. It's a partnership that works. Appa never fails to thank Amma for cooking a delicious meal and then we clear the table while Amma rests. #happymothersday

enthuse

This Papi gives me great pleasure! Solid and affordable Italian fare at this modernly decorated restaurant, conveniently located in the heart of Causeway Bay. The truffle, damon and cheese bikini sandwiches oozed with visual and taste appeal, making it a must order here for me. Pasta here was impressive too, with the briny sea urchin pasta living up to expectations. The truffle cache e pepe was a showstopper, with a SUPER generous amount black truffle shavings blanketing a simple cacio e pepe pasta that is tossed in a pecorino cheese wheel table side. So hefty were the truffle shavings that I literally could not see my pasta underneath (out of sight out of mind, so I guess that means I don’t have to think about carb gains!). What makes the truffle cache e pepe even more attractive that its ONLY *30HKD* a portion! You’ll have to be quick though since only 15 portions of this amazing deal will be available everyday. For group dining, be sure to order the MASSIVE 1kg bone-in steak which is sure to enthuse any carnivorous glutton. So reliable just like any Papi should be! ———————————— 🥪Papi’s Truffle and Parma Ham Sandwich ($108) 🍖Hand Sliced Norcia Ham ($118) 🦑Stewed Cuttlefish with Black Ink, White Polenta ($128) 🧀Scallop, Burrata Cheese, Truffle Paste and Green Peppers (daily special) 🍕Pizza: Lobster, Capers,Buffalo Mozzarella and Roasted Onion ($188) 🍝Fresh Uni pasta, Parsley and Breadcrumbs ($178) 🍝Truffle Cacio e Pepe ($30) 🐮Traditional 1kg Grilled T-Bone Steak ($1508) 🍰Papi’s Tiramisu ($68) 🍦Hot Chocolate Adffogato with Amaretti Biscuit ($88) 📍Papi 🇭🇰 8 Cleveland St, Causeway Bay ———————————— #dflCWB #dflHK
