Drawing Room Concept's latest venture puts Portuguese food front in center at the always busy Ocean Terminal. Alma literally means 'Soul' in Portuguese which is shown in the Portuguese home cooking dishes made to be shared family-style. Drawing Room has an impressive resume: which I've mentioned countless times. From the beautiful and exquisite Ammo to the fun and loud Isono (to name a few.)

 We start the night off with a pitcher of delicious red wine sangria, a basket of warm dinner rolls along with a gorgeous view of Hong Kong Island.

 The signature Caldo Verde $68 is a delicious and rich creamy potato based soup loaded with lots of flavourful Portuguese sausage and leafy kale. I slurped this baby right up.

 Bacalhau & Potato Croquette $60 came next. This came out piping hot and I loved the creamy Bacalhau fish filling but wished it was just a tad bit crunchier on the outside!

 Bairrada Roasted Suckling Pig $250. Mmm Mmm Mmm good. I love suckling pig. If I see it on a menu, I want it (and I usually get it.) The Bairrada Roasted Suckling pig was plump and juicy with the perfect amount of crunch and crackle from the skin. I loved the spicy green dressing that it comes with- it adds a great peppery kick to the juicy pig.

 Baked Duck Rice with Chorizo $150. Last but not least for the savoury foods is the baked duck rice with chorizo. I needed just a bit of rice to feel complete- and this went well with our dinner. The salted duck and chorizo bits added just enough salt and flavour to the baked rice. Polished off two mini bowls easily.

 The grand finale: the Portuguese egg tart. These babies are not to be missed. I loved the flaky, buttery crust that encased the sweet, creamy egg custard. I loved everything about this sweet ending. I've always enjoyed egg tarts and Alma nailed it. Next time I have a sweet tooth in Harbour City: I know where to go. ;)
