Dropped into the new Saporito Italian Deli (G/F, Sports Mansion, 161 Wong Ngai Chung Road, Happy Valley, 2895 4133, just around the corner from the new Crowne Plaza hotel) on my walk home from work a few months ago. I was just looking for a snack but found something much better - a real life food hero. On that fateful first visit I ended up sampling different types of Parma ham and a range of Italian cheeses. I left with much more food than I expected but there were no complaints back at The Valley residence.
On my second visit I could smell the lovely aroma of fresh roasted chicken. Steffeno told me they're imported from Italy and only cost HK$68. I love roast chicken so I had to buy one. It was delicious. Fresh roasted chicken flown in from Italy and only HK$68 - it has to be the deal of the century! Steffeno then mentioned he was settimg up an oven to bake fresh Ciabatta.
Last visit I had a piece of the tomato infused Ciabatta with a slice of Parma ham in the middle. Wow - it was sublime. Now you know where I'll be heading for lunch everyday. Thank you Sfeffeno for waking up my taste buds with all your wonderful food (and some well selected Italian wines) - you are a true food hero.
