Salmon Tartar (HKD 138)
Homemade Foie Gras Terrine Served w/ Chutney (HKD 158)
Snails in Garlic Butter (HKD 88)Bread basket was brought over once we ordered but the bread was rock hard. The snails were a let-down. I was envisioning the ones still in the shell, instead they were out of their shell, submerged in a butter seasoning. I found the seasoning not rich enough. The foie gras was so so, chutney that came with it was normal thai chilli sauce but I like how it cuts the richness of the foie gras. The bread that came with the foie gras was plain white toast, I would personally prefer something fancier.
Of all the three entrees, I like the salmon tartar the most. Flavours mixed together well, but I did think there could be a bit more salmon inside.
Lamb Rack w/ Tomatoes with Garlic & Parsley and Fondant Potatoes (HKD198)To my surprise, the lamb chop was cooked perfectly. We went for medium rare and it was just right. The portion was quite generous with three chops. The presentation with a wilted herb stem was not a good look.
Chocolate Fondant w/ Vanilla Ice Cream (HKD 68)We were quite full after the entrees and main, but my friend wanted to try their chocolate fondant. As expected, the gooey rich chocolate center oozed out once cut and it’s not overly sweet. On the other hand, the vanilla ice cream was too sweet to have it on its own. The combination of warm and cold was good tho.
With a bottle of wine, the total bill came around HKD 900. I don’t think I will return any time soon. With the money we paid, there are many more places I would rather go to. If I were to visit again, I would try more of their mains.
