Tom Aiken second restaurant in Hong Kong brings in a new concept, it only serves pork from nose to tail, no leave behind. The Fat Pig took over the space of SML on the 11th floor of Times Square with a big catchy neon sign.Open kitchen in the far end of the restaurant, a big bar counter at the other end, restaurant looks very spacous, tables are not too close to each other. drinks: Same as the Pawn, moonzen has a special brew for the restaurant called the bacon ale (5%) we thought it would have

Open kitchen in the far end of the restaurant, a big bar counter at the other end, restaurant looks very spacous, tables are not too close to each other.

drinks:
Same as the Pawn, moonzen has a special brew for the restaurant called the bacon ale (5%) we thought it would have smoky favor, turned out it didnt taste smoky at all. it was indeed a bit sweet.

The menu also has a different concept. The food is listed according to the cooking method, instead of starter, main etc.

All the dishes are small like tapas, thats why most of the dishes are below $100.

for 3 of us, we ordered 9dishes.

first we had the charcuterie board. it has their dry in the house salami with some pickles. There was 2 pieces of white slices.... i tried to eat it, but i honestly couldnt swallow... they are the lard..... argghhh.

Pulled pork brioche bun with fried onion ring. The pulled pork was hiding inside the onion ring and it tasted lovely. brioche was very fresh.

this cha siu bao was a surprise. its a good twist of chinese and western food. love it.

The best cumberland sausage we have ever had in hk. It's like proper cumberland you can get in England.

The meat ball is just as good as the sausage. these two dishes are our favourite

Anothet good twist of chinese and western food. the pork belly is very nicely roasted. The skin was very crispy, the meat is tender and melt in your mouth. this is definitely my favourite of the night

This mac and cheese was ok, slightly salty. It didnt stand out among the food we ordered.

This is the last dish we had. unfortunately, also the least we like. The steamed pork shoulder was ok, the soup was quite salty, i couldnt really eat it like a soup. cabbage is ok, just a bit boring...
