Classified

C and I were craving for some quality cheese before our movie date to see The Dictator. We decided to head over to Classified to satisfy our cravings. Classified has a number of branches around Hong Kong and we decided to go to the one in Exchange Square since it was convenient to where we were watching the movie. I have also heard that the lasagna there is the best in town so I definitely was very excited to sink my teeth into that. The atmosphere was very cozy and intimate while service was friendly and prompt.

We got a bottle of Argentinian white wine which was very fruity and refreshing. 

Organic beef lasagne al fornoMmmm mmm this lasagna was absolutely dreamy. It came out on this sizzling skillet with its meaty juices bubbly and its cheese melted to a gooey perfection. The ratio of meat sauce, cheese, and pasta was absolutely perfect. Each bite was rich and luscious. The tomato sauce was very sweet and the meat was incorporated perfected. The cheese was creamy and the entire dish was just divine.
True love?

We told the waitress to be in charge of the selection of cheeses and to choose one from each category. The one cheese we did request was Comté. Unfortunately the waitress picked a lot of cheeses that we already knew of because the original plan was for her to pick us some novel cheeses that we have not tried. Luckily the cheeses were still very enjoyable. Apart from the Comté we also had brie, stilton, gouda, and manchego. We suspected that the gouda was not actually gouda because the texture was very different, therefore next time we will try to find the real identity of the cheese because we enjoyed it very much. The manchego was our least favorite. The stilton was very pungent and strong but that's just how we like it. We were very stuffed by the end of the meal and had a very decent amount of leftovers. 


Overall the meal was very enjoyable and I would definitely love to come again!
