Quality food at for a reasonable price.

I was "gently reminded" by my wife that today was the day I first met her a number of years ago.
I was, on the one hand, trying to maintain a cool facade like I knew it all along, while frantically trying to think of an appropriate place for dinner.
I required somewhere solid, dependable and most importantly - with seats available despite last minute booking. A number of steakhouses and Spanish/Portuguese restaurants came to mind but those were all fully booked. Fortunately, there was the Salted Pig.
First things first, a pint of draft Guinness and Sangria to celebrate getting a table successfully.
True to its name, most of the food here were pork based:
We placed our orders without further ado.Scotch egg:
First came the Scotch egg. This was surprisingly good. Perfect half boiled egg wrapped in wonderfully marinated minced pork and crunchy breadcrumbs.
Definitely one of the best Scotch egg I've ever had in Hong Kong. Those served here was far better than the one served at a Scottish Pub, the Canny Man.
No wonder every table had one of this. Highly recommended.
Scallop:
True to it's theme, even the scallops here were wrapped with bacon. The scallops were firm and their umami mixed well with the bacon. My only quibble is that the scallops were slightly overcooked.I also enjoyed the fresh green peas with cream. The peas were not mashed but were nice and crunchy.
Rub & Tickle:
Nice crispy skin, tender meat and not too fattening. The gravy was excellent, bursting with vegetable flavors. The refreshing tomato base was particularly pronounced. The potion was perfect for sharing. This was much better than the one I had at their Central branch a while ago.
The vegetables that came with the pork belly were great too. The carrots and zuchini were crunchy and very sweet.
Eaton Mess with Banana:
Fortunately, this mess was not as sweet as I had initially feared. The meringue were crunchy and not over sweet. The sweetness of the banana and the cream was just right for me.Conclusion:
The bill came down to about HK$500 per person including quite a number of drinks, good food & good service. I find it very good value for money.
Highly recommended.Post
