 Explosion of flavours! An untypical take on beetroot salad, the earthiness from the beets was well-balanced by the creamy parsnip pureé underneath and the beautiful, fresh dill on top. 🌿
🤤 4.5/5

 Avocado 🥑 and so much more - unique spin on traditional street food Chaat. You can taste so much flavours and textures, especially with the punchy pomegranate and crisp papadums.

 Must try! It was actually my first time trying a gougère so I had no idea what to expect. The bread was homemade freshly baked, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. An easy 5/5 if it arrived earlier instead of at the end but still, what a treat! 
🤤 4.5/5

🌱 Vegetarian friendly: Yes! A good portion of their menu is vegetarian (also some vegan and gluten-free options) 
🤩 Simple but effective menu, although the place was small but it felt intimate and cosy.
💰 HK$250-500 pp 

⭐️ Overall rating: 4.5/5

🤔 Revisit? Absolutely! I wish they would do brunch/ lunch as well.

之前見到有人推介就試下依間fusion菜🥳我地用左restaurant week黎食晚飯☺️298 per person!

🤤AVOCADO MESS🤤
個3個前菜都係sharing plate!第一款已經衝擊味蕾😍集咸酸再有啲石榴籽 牛油果醬同yogurt好crunchy嘅感覺😙

👖褲評: 8.5/10

🤤ESCARGOT GRATIN🤤
法式田螺😛本身已經好重青醬味🥰再加啲味道複雜嘅醬 就咁撈沙律食已經好好味☺️

👖褲評: 8/10

🤤 KATHMANDU MEATBALL MOMO 🤤
雞肉momo餃有少少辣辣地都幾特別😆

👖褲評: 7.8/10

🤤 1/4 GRILLED BUTTER CHICKEN 🤤
同平時食嘅Butter Chicken重蕃茄味多 沾滿汁嘅雞都仲食到烤出來嘅脆皮🤣🤩尤其隻雞翼係昇華咗🥰另外個包係外脆內軟好煙韌又唔油😚唔點醬都可以食晒成塊😋

👖褲評: 9/10

🤤BAKED AUBERGINE🤤

墨魚包住啲肉粒說再配煙肉同埋蛤☺️全部都好有鮮味🥰就算啲汁都好重海鮮味加上小小嘅酒香😛

👖褲評: 7.5/10

🤤DESSERT OF THE DAY🤤
對胡蘿蔔蛋糕嘅印象有新嘅定義！呢款係有胡蘿蔔粒同埋cream cheese mix埋嘅蛋糕第一啖可能唔太討好之後都OK😌

👖褲評: 7.5/10

Dining city嘅dinner set依間性價比好高 環境好似喺外國咁chill😍好有小店嘅feel好舒服😌嘢食好特別全部都好出色🤓

    呢間前身叫Black Salt嘅小店，以前都係主打印法Fusion菜，座位好小，坐就一定唔會舒服，比較逼夾，不過嘢食水準都唔錯。轉咗手之後試吓，發現無咗brunch menu，只可以a la carte。Avocado Mess牛油果醬加上鷹嘴豆等配料，尚算清新開胃。Stuffed Calamari食落就係魷魚包免治豬肉，發揮正常。Slow Cooked Lamb Hindshank就真心唔太掂，首先肉質非常乾柴，而且醬汁死咸，原全食唔到羊肉味，再加上本身已經好咸嘅corned rump，原全只係得但咸字。同以前Black Salt比，水準實在差太遠，伏！This tiny restaurant was called Black Salt before.

    This tiny restaurant was called Black Salt before. Despite the packed and uncomfortable sitting, the brunch was quite nice. As my first time trying out the brunch at Pondi, we were informed that the brunch menu was no longer being served - hence, we could only order the a la carte menu. The avocado mess and stuffed calamari were okay - without any wow factors. The slow-cooked lamb hindshank was a huge disappointment: the lamb it self was extremely dry and tough. The sauce was really salty and overpowered the whole dish. And they even put corned rumps on top of the lamb!

      Didn't leave a review for my first visit because honestly was so hungry that night I didn't even remember to take photos - which means I also couldn't judge how good the food actually was.

      Needless to say my 2nd visit did not disappoint. When I sat down, their lovely server Brian who remembered me from my first visit told me that their menu had been updated since my previous meal.

      This time, we got the Avocado Mess (my personal fave), Asparagus & Fava Bean Fritters, Soft Shell Crab Cakes.

      Everything was super flavourful, the service was great and honestly I have no complaints. This might even become a regular dinner place for us.
