Pizza party at Motorino, new Italian restaurant in Soho, Hong Kong. Liz Lisa coordinate & Camper shoes.
O Hong Kong! I’ve eaten some of my best meals in Central, a district of upscale international restaurants and clubs.
On my most recent trip, I found a new favorite hangout: Italian pizzeria Motorino HK. Keep reading for food photos and a Liz Lisa outfit!
Heidi and I were invited for a meal. We rode the famous Mid-Levels Escalator to get there (14 Shelley Street in Soho). Couldn’t resist goofing around with the decor.
This cocktail, called Cyner Tea, was so good that we ordered several. Motorino also has a nice wine selection, and I ended my meal with a suitably spooky green chartreuse.
Chef Mathieu Palombino opened the original Motorino in Brooklyn, NY. This Hong Kong branch is his first international foray.
The squash salad, with roasted vegetables and buffala mozzarella on top, sums up his simple, classic approach.
Motorino cares about every detail: the wood-burning Ferrara oven, hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte cheese, and Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil.
This bare-bones Margharita pizza, fresh out of the oven with a thin and crispy crust, is one of the best I’ve tasted. (And I’ve traveled all over Italy!)
His Neapolitan-style menu includes this “pizza salad,” with cold toppings. A relief, in the hot Hong Kong weather. We ended as one should: with tiramisu.
I had a fantastic time at Motorino, catching up with friends and chatting up the staff. Hopefully you can taste the pizza for yourself, in New York or Hong Kong.
I wore a romantic-girly-Gyaru outfit…

If I cut my hair to shoulder length, it would look something like this. What do you think?

This dark purple bouquet matches my current red-violet ombre hair color.
I’ll end this with a neon night scene. The store SaSa is my favorite place to buy makeup. For more shopping favorites, see my HK and Macau posts.
