Situated in Tsing Yi, tucked away on the podium of Mayfair Gardens, this is apparently the brainchild and jewel of a thoughtful proprietor. Decorated with a distinctly bourgeois-bohemian touch. As the only decent western restaurant in this corner, this place prides itself in slow cooked dishes and changes its menus on a monthly basis. The prices at first glance were a bit high but we would see if it's worth it. The crisp white toast was fair as an appetizer. The clam chowder soup with diced potato and was creamy and still light. Salad with smoked salmon and balsamic vinegar was so-so. Spaghetti Bolognese with a dash of spice and lots of red kidney beans was fair - interesting seasoning. Rock salt marinated slow cooked pork belly - meat was quite tender though a bit hard to cut through the skin. The garnishes were slightly sweet pineapple chutney, roast broccoli and purée and diced beetroot - not bad at all. Panna cotta of a unique shade of blue - coloured with edible Asian pigeonwings and underlying poppyseed in tofu. Coffee was satisfactory - and that's high by my standards. For $260 per head, quite a decent dinner after all.
