Ask for Alonzo opens a second location in Tai Hang
Sleepy nook Tai Hang has recently welcomed comforting Mediterranean flavours into its midst in the form of Ask for Alonzo, the restaurant’s second location in the city. Paying homage to Italian family recipes and generations’ worth of culinary experience, the neighbourhood trattoria gathers together a focused menu centred on elevated home-cooking, premium pasta, and classic Italian starters. Tai Hang’s signatures are the Deluxe Spaghetti Carbonara ($188) and Deluxe Rigatoni Amatriciana ($188), both featuring homemade sauces, shavings of Roman guanciale pork, and vibrant flavours.
Pair your smooth Deluxe Negroni ($98) and hand-picked Italian wines with mains like Roasted Italian Suckling Pig ($168) and Baked Mushroom and Cheese Fondue Rigatoni ($148), a New York-style, skillet-baked pasta topped with Taleggio, Gorgonzola, Parmesan and Emmental.
The mysterious man behind the name, Alonzo, also keeps a ‘specials bible’ close to his heart, chock-full of original recipes like the TLC Panini ($128), filled with Bolognese ragout, melted mozzarella, red cheddar, and served with Parmesan fries. Each week, he pulls a dish out of the bible, meaning you’ll have to check back often to try and get a taste of family-favourite TLC Linguine ($148), cooked in a creamy tomato sauce with organic apple-smoked bacon.
