Here a great place to go when you're craving a different tradition of spice, style, and texture in Hong Kong - Ebeneezer's Kebab. Tucked at the back of happening Ashley Road, this Middle-Eastern cafe in TST boasts foods that'll jump out at you and excite your taste buds, not to mention fill and satisfy any appetite. Its signature dish, of course, is the kebab. The menu describes this chicken kebab we ordered: "Roased chicken served in Lebanese Pita bread with salad and your choice of dressings."

雞肉卡巴 Chicken Kebab

The pita bread wrapping is not only quite nutritious, but its crispiness wraps a delicious and filling core, fired up to the right temperature to ignite a smorgasbord of flavors and spice. If you order the lunch set, it also comes with a drink for a pretty good deal. I got some coffee.

咖哩羊肉 Lamb Curry

With a little more spice and a little more flavor than most curries in Hong Kong, some people would prefer Ebeneezer's curry over others. It's really good, but I've had better; as far as curries go Tak Lung's oxtail curry or Macao's Porto Interior's curry just overshadows it. This lamb curry just doesn't have the same tasty complexity of what I've had, but it's a good one nonetheless.

咖哩角 Samosas

Samosas are really popular in Hong Kong, but are mostly Hong Kong-ified, a fusion of Cantonese and Indian style. These samosas are of the western tradition, rounder, crunchier crust, and tightly filled with Middle-Eastern style spiced potatoes. Dip it in the green dressing for a cool minty taste.

Ebeneezer's is definitely a nice, convenient and cheap place to get a meal. It draws a young professional crowd and more foreigners, it's got some hindi music videos playing on a TV, and it's located on a road with bars and restaurants of all sorts of international cuisines, giving the place a nice colorful metropolitan vibe. Together with its good quality food, it's already a regular feeding spot for me, and I'd definitely recommend anybody to go have a try.
