A good place for a quick meal in the Pacific Place Mall is in the basement of the Seibu department store. It's a high quality food court, better than the one upstairs. Noodles, oysters, Vietnamese, Korean, Italian, and so on.

You get a card on entering that you present at the counter of each "station" where you get food or drinks. You present the card to the cashier at the exit and pay the total.

I must concur, the basetment level at Seibu (Pacifc Place) is a gourmet paradise. The prices are reasonable (compared to prices paid in gourmet food stores in the USA). Godiva chocolate that are really from Belgium, helpful staff, amazing selection of Japanese products, outstanding products from Europe, Fortnum & Mason tea, Jules Destrooper biscuits...

Oh, how I wished I lived in Hong Kong...

Great food search engine for HK eating:

Seibu in Pacific Place is great. Not a bad little wine department either.

But nothing's like Thanksgiving with all the other lonely expats, at Dan Ryans. As happy as I am to be living back in the U.S., I do sorta miss those days.

I rate Seibu basement almost same level as Harrods, for variety of food. City Super (Times Square, Causeway Bay) is also a good supermarket.

Seibu food court is much better now after renovation, but usually my choice at Pacific Place is Grappa's (good food but bad service), sometimes Dan Ryans when I'm into burgers.

The great thing is now they offer Netvigator wireless broadband at the mall, so I've been working from there when lazy to go to the office... (a couple of days a month)

Anyway, I'm at the opposite side of the globe and will only get back by Jan. How about you PremEx, plans for Hong Kong anytime soon?

The part about Seibu food court that I especially appreciated were the plates that showed what each of the dishes on the menu actually looked like. For a Westerner unfamiliar with many of the offerings, this was incredibly helpful.

The system at Seibu is very similar to the system at the Marché chain of restaurants: when you enter, you get a card, and the card gets marked each time you order food. (At Seibu, the mark is electronic; at Marché, it's a stamp.) When you're finished, you give the card to the cashier, who totals up your bill. One big difference between Seibu and Marché is that the bill at Seibu is very reasonable, while at Marché it's usually 3 times as much as you expected (or thought the food was worth).
