Paparazzi Style Pub Grub?

Was doing some pro bono work around LKF the other night when I got a little hungry. Knowing that its Central, there wouldn't be anything too cheap around the area. And the bars and pubs gave me a little craving for some pub grubs, so I remembered this new shop called Nuke'Em Wings in the alleyway on D'Aguilar St, that hilly road that leads up to LKF.

This joint is obviously catered towards drunkiness looking for a place to sober up after a wild night of binging. How did I know? the prices dude! It's ridiculously expensive and you have to be completely smashed to think its reasonable.

For a little bucket set of 10 wings, the bill came up to a whopping $50 HKD. Like pub wings, they are ordered alongside with the spicy level. I tried hot which is 3 chili, the highest being 'Nuke 'em' at 10 chili and I found it managable. Kinda softcore compare to the Sichuan Place I went earlier. The wings itself came in this weird unappetizing orange colour, look at the photo below.........kinda looks like errrrrr.....stuff you floating at the bottom of those outhouses in campsites? Yeah, uber unappetizing.
How did the Wings taste? Surprising....just normal average breaded wings. Skin is cripsy, as it should be. Also freshly deep fried, which gives it a slight edge over the local KFC. Chicken wasn't too dry, but the hot sauce was alittle weak, and too watery to be like actual pub grub.

On the Flipside: Beer comes cheap? At $20 HKD per bottle, its alittle pricy than club 711. But hella cheaper than those happy hour prices in actual bars. And the outdoor high tables gave an odd culinary experience to the place.

Being at the foot of the hill to LKF (next to the eyecatching Ben & Jerry's), it is an awesome place for people gazing, as you see beautiful dressed girls glide through the crowd, equally as entertaining are the sterotypical tourists that visits the area. Be it the suit wearing mainlanders or the crocs wearing white tourists. This paparazzi style grub eating kinda makes the place enjoyable. But I have a feeling this will allll change when REAL HK summer arrives. When its too bloody hot to be anywhere outside.

Final Verdict: Skip it. Not worth the Money and not good pub grub. If you like people gazing, stand in one place and ponder slowly about life.....maybe give it a try?
