It is directly connected to the MTR station by an indoor air-conditioned walkway and boasts a good number of car parking spaces in-building.” 

 

Saizeriya Italian Restaurant first entered Hong Kong in 2008 and their first branch was located right here.  “We are committed to bringing healthy and delicious food to our customers at affordable prices. We decide to stay with 8½ for the attractive pool of potential customers from nearby residential estates, office towers and hotels,” said Mr. Sato Tomoyasu, General Manager of Saizeriya Italian Restaurant. “We have full confidence in the management and marketing teams here and we look forward to serving our new and old customers at the new branch in 8½.”

In the early 1910’s when Castle Peak Road was built, the addresses along the road were marked in “milestone” to represent the distance from Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier. For instance, Anglers' Beach is at “13 milestone Castle Peak Road” and Cafeteria Old Beach is at “18¾ milestone Castle Peak Road”. Although nowadays the street name and numbers have been standardised, the milestones indicating the distance still exist. 8½ is located at 388 Castle Peak Road in Tsuen Wan, which is right between the 8 and 9 milestones of Castle Peak Road, hence the name “8½”.
