Daily Menu - I have already reviewed here previously, this is a re-review of some of the NEW or likable Fiat Caffe dishes.
.
Red Wine -Italian wine.
.
Figs with White Truffle Honey and Ricotta - $80I like this combination of flavours but the white truffle is not so apparent, and the honey is over-poweringly sweet. I think the combination of Sheep Ricotta vs Honey really needs judiscial judgment to bring out the best. ~ 6.5/10
.
Fried Pancetta, Tomato, Fried Egg and Truffle - $70This sounded promising, but somehow the Pancetta flavour was overwhelmed by the sour tomatoes, and the truffle influence was muted. Needs more balance. Could have been great. ~ 6/10
.
Sardines and Toasted Sourdough - $70Haven't seen this for a while now, but it was one of the BEST dishes here. With fatty and meaty sardines, served with a capers mayo and tomato sauce. Hope they bring it back 1 day. ~ 9/10
.
Spaghetti with Duck, Tomato -A bit ordinary. Not much sophistication in terms of recipe. But edible. ~ 6/10
.
White and Green Asparagus, Poached Egg, Salted Pork Neck and Truffled Butter - $90 This was great. everything worked well together. The truffle paste butter with the runny egg-yok was a match in heaven. The twin asparagus sprigs were cooked well and not fibrous. Addictive stuff especially with the salty pork neck. *Asparagus are not in season in the Northern Hemisphere but they can be sourced down South, but it works well with the truffle component somehow. ~ 9/10
.
Shrimp with Radicchio, Basil and Linguine - $85Pastas here were never that great, but as time goes by it has improved!! The linguine was finally not limpy but cooked spot-on, and for the price a lot of prawn was given. The Radicchio and Basil balanced the meal. This was quite good and didn't tasted all localized Hong Kong at least by execution. Good job. ~ 7.5/10
******************************
Overall, you can spend under $100-$150 per person here on average, and there is no 10% surcharge. The food is done adequately but not exceptional, but then again as a Caffe, it was always meant to be daily approachable!
