During my quest to find the best-rated restaurant in Kwai Fong, I stumbled upon The Salted Pig and decided to bring my significant other along. As we arrived, we patiently waited outside for around 5-10 minutes, only to find the restaurant packed with customers.
First and foremost, the service left much to be desired. The staff seemed overwhelmed and barely attended to us. Their attitude lacked friendliness - they appeared rushed and cold. The level of service fell short of expectations, especially considering the 10% service charge we were charged. Needless to say, we were left feeling disappointed. To add to the frustration, we were handed the bill while we were still enjoying our meal. The cramped table and the feeling of being hurried out tarnished the overall experience.

Sausage Around The World (6 TYPES) $258

Moving on to the food, we started with the "Sausage Around The World (6 TYPES)" which featured a selection of bratwurst, boerewors, klobása, käsekrainer, smoked beef sausage, and chicken krainer. Most of the sausages were delicious, and it was a delightful experience trying out different varieties.

Slow-Cooked Crackling Pork Belly $258

Next up was the highlight of the night, the Slow-Cooked Crackling Pork Belly. It was a symphony of textures - crispy, juicy, and meaty. The accompanying spicy vinegar sauce was a revelation. Despite its spicy label, even my partner, who usually avoids spice, could enjoy it without any issues. The sauce itself was exceptionally flavorful. It was a perfect dish in every way.

Col de' Salici - Rosé di Salici (per glass) $48

To accompany the meal, I ordered two glasses of Col de' Salici - Rosé di Salici, although I cannot provide a comment on the taste since I do not consume alcohol much. I simply wanted to try out the Valentine's Day special.

Conclusion
The food at The Salted Pig was amazing. The flavours were outstanding, and the portion sizes were moderate. However, the service fell below average, and the restaurant had a noisy ambience that made it difficult to hear my partner. It's a shame that a remarkable culinary experience was dampened by these shortcomings. Despite these drawbacks, I would be willing to give it another try for a special occasion, solely because of the fantastic food.
