Browsing through the web looking for a lunch venue in Admiralty, I came across a fairly new restaurant named AMMO. An interesting name, not only is it a short form for ammunition - the building housing the restaurant used to be an old ammunition warehouse, it also stands for Asia, Modern, Museum, Original (sounds like they were probably trying too hard)-part of the building is now a Museum of Asian Culture (or something along that line).
I have worked in Admiralty for almost 18 years and never knew that there is a building at the end (or top) of Justice Road! So, I called up to reserve a table. Guess what?! They told me the earliest available lunch date they had then was over a month later on 18 September. And I thought, why not, I'd take it.
18 September arrived and we made my way up Justice Road.

| The restaurant was behind the main building separating it from the hustle and bustle of the city. |
 |
| The interior which was decorated mainly with copper pipes gave it a contemporary retro look |
 |
| We ordered the set lunch and they started us with some nice warm bread. The one made with black pepper was delicious! |
 |
| I had the Zucchini Trumbetta Gateau with Anchovies and Crispy Mozzarella. The gateau was ok but I was more impressed with the fried mozzarella. |
 |
| G thought his Seafood Soup with Rouille Sauce and French Baguette was excellent. |
 |
| I had the Fettuccine with Quail Ragout and Parmesan Fondue which I thought was very well done. |
 |
| G's Tagliolini with Tuna Tartare and Yogurt Sauce was an interesting mix of East and West. |
|
|
I loved my Chocolate Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream.
|
 |
| And this Hazelnut Praline Parfait with Chocolate Sauce was just sufficient to complete G's lunch as he is generally not into very sweet western desserts. |
 |
| And of course the mandatory coffee. |
We thought the quality of food and service was very good and value for money at the lunch-time prices. We were more impressed with the decor and the location of the restaurant. Felt like an oasis in the middle of HK.
