School Food (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

School Food has been the talk of the town ever since the trendy Korean chain landed in Hong Kong this September. Situated on the 13th floor of the iconic Times Square, School Food prides itself as a fusion restaurant serving Korean cuisine with a modern take.

There's a "no reservation" policy here at School Food so expect waiting time to reach 20-30 minutes during the peak hours. Fortunately, it was almost 3pm when we got here so we were able to get in without much of a wait.

True to its "Made to Order" philosophy, dishes are freshly made allowing diners to experience the natural flavors of the meal at its peak.



One of the most popular dishes on the menu is the mari, or Korean-style sushi.

I particularly liked their Squid Ink Mari which contains chopped squid wrapped with thin slices of seaweed and rice that’s been dyed with black ink. Very sweet and a little chewy. 




I have been searching for the perfect kimchi fried rice in Hong Kong and finally found it here at School Food. The pan-grilled Kimchi Bokkeumbap (or kimchi fried rice) was everything we was hoping for and more. 



Another house specialty is their Korean rice cakes which are also known as topokki.

My personal favorite is the fusion dish – Carbonara Topokki, which is Korean rice cakes served with carbonara sauce. Very creamy and silky smooth texture.




Korean cuisine could be very delicious even without barbecue meat and haemul pajeon.
