同事推介法式私房菜,樣樣都好味。

餐單由主廚決定 唔駛自己諗 很好


先上咗小食 生果加豬肉卷 醒胃

麵飽係我最愛嘅法飽,重點係舊牛油,超香。

前菜 翻茄果凍加芝士 好好味 同個汁好夾。

餐湯,湯底粟米湯,加咗cream、濃味肉絲同爽脆豬肉乾,搞混食 Ok。

未食主菜已經飽咗一大半,想食多舊飽都食唔落。

好,到主菜,西班牙豬兩種食法。
一種應該係炆,好似中式東坡肉,味道是ok 的,但要食肥膏我就一般。
另一種係烤,哩個正,肉味勁香。
其他配菜都好好味,雖然飽都清碟。

甜品 蜜桃撻 加薑味雪糕,我真得個餅底好好味。

餐飲 薄荷茶 好fresh 好似朝早刷牙咁haha,可以消消濟。

最後仲有自家製曲奇打包,又食又拎。

A great place for great food, friends gathering with your own wine. Dishes here are on the stronger taste side, goes very well with wine. Every dish has interesting and complex flavours. The chef have fresh menu biweekly and haven't repeated so far since opening 4 years ago. Definitely will come again.

Creative restaurant in many aspects: decor and food. The mysterious entrance through the corridor of an old Tung Lau building with colonial tiles gives the tone of the coming experience. There is a small staircase to get to the first floor dining room, where the decor is carefully chosen: dim lighting, wooden tables, original ceramic plates and tea glasses. We felt very welcome as the staff was always smiling and caring. The food was inventive from starter through main and dessert. We had slow-cooked salmon and it was tastefully soft. We were also allowed to bring our own wine, which we felt was definitely a plus. The mint tea was a perfect ending to the feast. We  were celebrating a birthday with a group of 5 people, the place was spacious for small parties and it felt comfortably quiet. We would certainly come again.

有幸朋友為我的生日book了這間私房菜食慶祝生日晚飯. 私房菜的地方舒適又干靜, 當日的帶子粟米湯, 湯的熱度可以接受, 只是帶子和其他配料就比較凍. 可能廚師要準備多枱的湯, 因而未能將帶子和其他配料keep住熱.  其他的食物都尚算不錯. 而餐飲只有薄荷茶和咖啡的選擇, 如果你想飲其他, 例如熱檸檬荼的話就免問了.

Other Info. : 只有兩件事情令我不滿的 是:1) 餐廳不接受外帶來的蛋糕, 不能切, 也不能食. 2) 發現有wifi 一心想連接, 但是侍應拒絕外來人接駁. 如果你要慶祝生日而想切蛋糕的話, Little Kitchen 一定唔會適合你.

Dull and lacking execution.
At the end of the day if the butter and mint tea are the hilights of the evening, someone in the kitchen probably has no clothes on.
8 of us had dinner here last night, in this delightful Dioxin laden dystopian wasteland. BYOB worked well for us and luckily the HKD 600 per head bill did not leave the impression of having been excessively kicked in the groin.
First impression: the website with it's clumsy attempts at offhand flippancy, only confirms the English language is best left in the hands of those qualified to use it.
The restaurant was brightly lit, so one could actually see the food- marvelous innovation for Hong Kong, where lighting 'consultants' appear to be dominant these days. Top marks for bright lights.
Music- none. Utterly fabulous- again top marks for allowing customers to converse.
1. Amuse bouche. I must have missed the explanation of what this was. I couldn't tell but apparently it was a confection of puff pastry duck and red pepper.5/10.
2. An enormous slab of butter arrived for each individual diner. No one bothered to explain why this butter was special. Perhaps it wasn't special, but I reached for a spare Crestor and spread a bit on the bread.
3. Bread. Obviously not made in house, lacking salt and a poor impersonation of sourdough if that what it was supposed to be. My usual dining partner Would have here stated "this much bread implies there's not much food coming" 4/10
4. Menu description-"roasted pumpkin soup, first hard squash of the season, roasted pumpkin 2 more ways, repetition is key, browned butter toasted seeds, of course". What tosh.
Well-pumpkin, squash or whatever you want to call it is frankly culinary elevator music. Indeed, portentously announcing "these are the first Japanese squash of the year" is never going to be up there with "these are the first Alba truffles" or "these are the first percebes from Galicia this year". And so it proved- roasted pumpkin 2 ways was like having a double hernia operation. Oddly the roasted seeds weren't even on the plate- "of course". The "soup" tasted only of a heavy chicken stock. Note to chef- a properly executed squash veloute finished with cream and egg yolks might lift this dish. Takes effort though.4/10.
5. Menu description "Cold- water seafood terrine. Cooling but not chilly, celery root remoulade,(it usually is celery root chef- nothing new there) classic preparation, other celery things not so classic". This was ok- too much gelatine and a turgid brown colour, a bit like the tap water on a 40 year old Kowloon housing estate. There was some remoulade- I couldn't taste any mustard. There were also random rounds of vegetables strewn on the plate.4/10.
6. Menu Description: "Roasted Pluma of pork, Iberian Spanish cut, roasted apples, from the French countryside, braised Italian fennel, viva Europe" oh dear.
So the mad dash to find Ever more esoteric and unfathomable cuts of meat careers ever onwards. This is apparently the porcine equivalent of hanger steak or onglet. What next "saddle of hamster"? It tasted ok. A chop would have been much better.
There was a purée of apples resembling baby food pooled below the pork. The fennel lacked coloration and was insufficiently braised. Other vegetables were lurking on the plate. They'd been cut so artfully I couldn't work out what they were. There was a very poor attempt at a "cider vinegar gastrique" which was too thin, utterly devoid of acidity and lacking flavour. Chef was proud of this though... And offered seconds, which were poking declined. Oddest of all on this dish was a small cylinder of something akin to paper pulp. I thought it might be heart of Palm. When chef was quizzed the chefly response "it's a sort of fennel flan with a bit of Parmesan. We don't know what to call it" was culinary comedy of the highest order. We didn't know what to call it either other than 'devoid of flavour'. 4/10
7. Menu description" dark chocolate "cake' not like your momma's, bits of orange things, oh the mysterious wonder of the unknown" I was at this point fumbling for the ejector seat button and the humane killer..
So the chocolate deluxe was very nice. There was a poorly executed quenelle of a nice mandarin sorbet which was nice. There were orange segments which given the chemical taste may have come from a tin- I didn't have the heart to ask. Alternatively they MIGHT have been sous vided for a couple of hours.. Hmm.. Also on the plate were 2 more examples of chefs utter lack of skill with gelatine. One jelly was clear and the other opaque. Both were utterly devoid of flavour.
8. Coffee or mint tea. I chose the mint tea- mint leaves steeped in boiling water. Delightful, full of clean purity of flavour. An utter joy after what had preceded.
-8/10
On a final note the website states "those who know come up
the back". The mind boggles and one might add "those who know won't come back".

Dear David,Indeed we love your food and cooking style a lot because we could taste your passion towards cooking through your delicious food. Unfortunately one of my friends doesn't eat cold served food and lamb, so she missed out the chance to try your cooking in different perspectives. Nonetheless, we would like to thank you for charging a partial price voluntarily for her portion. Salute to your kindness and passionate cooking!Warmest regards,JC

一家餐廳能否令食客「回頭」,我認為最重要的在於「心」,即是有無HEART。有沒有用心,客人會感受得到的。最近到訪的這家西式私房菜,隱身於西灣河區的唐樓中,餐廳環境雅緻,大廚的用心經營更令人留下深刻印象。老闆兼主廚David來自加拿大,多年前在港落地生根,太太是香港人,還有個可愛的女兒,一家就住在附近。我與男友D.S.用餐當天還見到他的女兒出現,小女孩蹦蹦跳地走去開放式廚房找爸爸拿餅食,原本正經地準備食物的大廚瞬間露出溫暖的笑容,整個畫面很有愛。女孩與媽媽出現短時間後就離開,沒有打擾認真工作的爸爸。特別一提,餐廳周日會休息,因為是family day (欣賞!)。這裡的菜單每星期更換一次,據聞菜式沒有重複過,有誠意又有創意!食材和醬汁配搭豐富,用料新鮮,味道有驚喜。四道菜,每人$500(沒有加一),雖然價錢在西灣河區來說不便宜,但食物有一定質素,我認為物有所值。一開始先上餐前小食,我們用餐當日是一杯暖湯。餐前麵包外脆內軟。前菜是法國蘆筍配mozzarella芝士與香草沙律。蘆筍十分鮮嫩,整道菜食落感覺好清新,真的有如menu所寫的感覺「it’s just around the corne

一家餐廳能否令食客「回頭」,我認為最重要的在於「心」,即是有無HEART。有沒有用心,客人會感受得到的。

最近到訪的這家西式私房菜,隱身於西灣河區的唐樓中,餐廳環境雅緻,大廚的用心經營更令人留下深刻印象。老闆兼主廚David來自加拿大,多年前在港落地生根,太太是香港人,還有個可愛的女兒,一家就住在附近。我與男友D.S.用餐當天還見到他的女兒出現,小女孩蹦蹦跳地走去開放式廚房找爸爸拿餅食,原本正經地準備食物的大廚瞬間露出溫暖的笑容,整個畫面很有愛。女孩與媽媽出現短時間後就離開,沒有打擾認真工作的爸爸。特別一提,餐廳周日會休息,因為是family day (欣賞!)。

這裡的菜單每星期更換一次,據聞菜式沒有重複過,有誠意又有創意!食材和醬汁配搭豐富,用料新鮮,味道有驚喜。四道菜,每人$500(沒有加一),雖然價錢在西灣河區來說不便宜,但食物有一定質素,我認為物有所值。

一開始先上餐前小食,我們用餐當日是一杯暖湯。

我與D.S.對前菜已很滿意,想不到之後的第一主菜都令我們讚不絕口。此道菜用上八爪魚、蝦和小蘿蔔等蔬菜,配以紅酒醋等醬汁,味道鮮甜又refreshing,八爪魚切成粒狀,混合其他配料一起食,口感很豐富。總之味道很特別,是全新的感覺。

最後還送上新鮮出爐的曲奇餅,味道不錯喔。(可惜忘了拍照)

食完四道菜後,主廚David與我們閒聊了一會兒。他說餐廳選址在西灣河,因為喜歡這裡很「香港」,是一個本地人居住生活的地方。我們又談到一些餐廳出名後質素走下坡,他說因此不認同將餐廳擴充為連鎖店。他開餐廳的原因很簡單,卻令我印象深刻的一句:「I like cooking… cooking for people」。嗯,我感覺得到。

This is the second time i visit the restaurant with my friends and both visits were nice.
If you are looking for a friendly place to spend a good time with your beloved ones and enjoyed some outstanding food prepared by an excellent chef and still pay a very affordable price then don't hesitate and go try Little Kitchen.

The weekly menu will almost make you want to go there every week.
Yesterday we had a very smooth bold broccoli soup followed by a seared Halibut fillet with seasonal veggies. The main was a braised pork belly with apple puree.
For dessert we enjoyed a home made rice pudding along with spring strawberries and yogurt icecream.

Everything was perfect and presented like in a Fine dining.

A worth to try !

And if you are still hesitating here is the final point you should take into consideration: no corkage fees for the wines you bring !

For someone who is perfectly content to never venture far beyond Sheung Wan and Sai Yin Pun, Little Kitchen in Sai Wan Ho presents a destination of sorts. And what a destination.
A review for Little Kitchen is tricky because the menu changes every week and with the chef/owner’s boundless creativity and energy, unlikely to repeat. So each review is a brag of: "Look what we had! And you missed! Ha!"

But do not fret! Because when you do go, I am certain you won't leave disappointed (unless, of course, you can't get in).

The half dozen times or so I’ve been, I’ve always left (i) fed – seriously fed, grandma’s house fed and (ii) introduced to something unique, special and in some respects outside of my usual comfort level.
My approach to restaurants, especially when presented with a long menu of too many choices, is to go for the tried and true. I’ll be happy but bored and boring. At Little Kitchen, I encounter the luxury of no choice which coaxes me to try new things. And, of course, love them.

Other Info. : Check out the weekly menu, bring your own booze and say "hi" to the chef! Seating is limited (so make a reservation) but once you show up, you won't be kicked out to make room for the next patron.

I've been to Little Kitchen a few times now and have been really impressed with the consistent quality. It's a set menu that changes every week, so I've begun checking out the facebook page/website every Monday to see what will be on offer for the week. I'm one of these people that is happy to let the chef wow me with his creations and just enjoy what is put in front of me. For people who aren't that inclined, I would suggest they visit the site and check out the weekly menu, since there isn't much room for substitutions when you get there. The chef/owner David is pretty good about switching out a few things if the customer has an allergy or serious food issue, but for the most part, you go to Little Kitchen to enjoy what David has decided to serve.

On this evening, the meal started with a lovely, fresh tasting and complex salad with a whole assortment of elements. It had various greens but also sour and sweet elements, which I liked. While we were eating it, David called across to us and said if we could identify the mystery ingredient, he'd give us extra cookies at the end of the meal. We couldn't and it turned out to be this very fine shaving of some sort of lettuce root? I forget the name but it sort of tasted like Chinese Jade and was really unique. 

The next course was excellent and was almost like a Japanese croquette but made with salted cod and on a bed of celeriac puree and this onion soubise thing. I had to look it up since I'd never heard of soubise, but it was tasty!

The main was a beautifullly cooked French chicken with 4 or 5 kinds of heirloom carrots and a stunning thyme jus. The waiter kindly informed us where each carrot came from and it was like the UN of carrots. All had different flavors, which was surprising. The coolest was a super-rich carrot puree, which was seriously decadent.

Dessert was a persimmon cake with two kinds of persimmons (also from different countries) in a salted caramel sauce. The cake had a high-class twinkie vibe and when my date pointed it out, David said that was exactly the inspiration! Funny. He likes to insert whimsical elements to his dishes and this is not the first time when he's decided to do that.

I can't recommend this place enough. It's the only place in HK where I actively go to check the weekly menu and pimp it to friends. Little Kitchen is also in one of the coolest locations in HK... a renovated Tong Lau building on a local street in Sai Wan Ho. David keeps the atmosphere professional but warm, which is a rare thing in HK. I'm tired of places where the chef/owner is nowhere to be found and the waitstaff is impersonal and could care less. This is clearly David's place and he keeps a watchful eye over everything from his open kitchen.

 住西灣河咁多年, 要食好d只有鯉魚灣一個選擇(只是好d, 不是"好好"). 上星期街市樓上竟然有新餐廳開張,望落格局似西餐廳,不過因為樓下無宣傳, 所以只可以上網睇下係咩~不過老實講,睇完網頁睇完Menu其實都唔太清楚係乜菜式, 只可以肯定係西餐, 因為菜名係食材+用料+感覺, 所以頭盤會見到"Potted Shrimp, Mildly Spiced, Buttery, Remoulade, Lovely"......係有點一頭霧水, 不過可能大廚想保持神秘感. 所以我地一行4人都係打左電話訂位。原來餐廳係固定menu,一行4人都揀左4道菜廚房係open kitchen,可以睇住大廚煮野(大廚原來係外國人, 即刻加左小小分數)頭盤:類似牛油蝦沙律,個蝦好爽好新鮮,牛油味同其他香料好夾,沙律個底d粒粒同個薄脆都好食 次盤:呢個竟然食完先記起未影相,個蒸青口好清,唔似平時用cream煮那種, 好彩味道都幾鮮亦算大隻主菜:牛仔肉煮得好林,牛味又好重,因為有一個朋友唔食牛,所以訂位時侍應幫我地轉左一碟係雞,抵讚甜品:朱古力雲呢拿合桃蛋糕呢個最好味,朱古力味好濃又唔甜,蛋糕裡面又幾個layer

頭盤:
類似牛油蝦沙律,個蝦好爽好新鮮,牛油味同其他香料好夾,沙律個底d粒粒同個薄脆都好食 

次盤:
呢個竟然食完先記起未影相,個蒸青口好清,唔似平時用cream煮那種, 好彩味道都幾鮮亦算大隻

甜品:朱古力雲呢拿合桃蛋糕
呢個最好味,朱古力味好濃又唔甜,蛋糕裡面又幾個layer, 有時滑有時脆, 連唔好甜品嘅朋友都話唔錯

個餐4道菜唔包咖啡,不過因為食甜品, 所以最後我地都有叫左4杯咖啡,上枱竟然係一壺,仲要係滴餾架,好好飲!!

4道菜每人$500, 杯咖啡好似三十幾, 呢區來講價錢當然唔算特別平, 不過食得出d用料好靚, 煮得亦好食, 食完大廚同我地傾左一陣, 會問我地食物點, 又話menu會每星期轉一次,叫我地下次再嚟試下其他野
