難得清閒,約了一班好友出外聚餐,順道 Happy Hour!「11 Westside」由好友介紹,主打墨西哥菜,店內同時設有酒吧。 一如其他墨西哥餐廳,首先送上的當然是粟米脆片「Chips and Salsa」。小吃的重點在於附上的辣茄醬汁,微酸帶辣十分適合佐酒享用。「Echo Park Sweet Corn」的主角是稚嫩的小粟米,蘸點酸忌廉吃同樣醒胃。 牛油果是在墨西哥餐廳另一常見食材,這道「Guacamole」以六種材料拌勻牛油果即場製成,當中以洋蔥及辣椒粒最為搶味,牛油果蓉口感滑溜亦值得欣賞。 「Tacos」是餐廳的招牌菜式之一,款式繁多。「Al Pastor」及「Baja Fish」分別以豚肉及魚肉作主要材料,前者肉味較濃,味道仍以 Guacamole 為主。後者味辛,外脆內嫩,各有特色。 「Jardin Chef's Salad」與「Beetroot Salad」皆以味濃的火箭菜入饌,味道可謂一枝獨秀,以至兩者差異不大。「Beetroot Salad」當中的甜脆開心果是小編最欣賞的地方。 原隻「Fire Roasted Chicken」與原條「Sea Bass」雖然經過

USDA Hanger Steak」約煮至四五成熟,肉色紅潤。味濃富嚼勁是 Hanger Steak 討人歡愛的地方。牛扒下方的小椰菜波波味道很甜,並帶微微焦香。

11 Westside」是市場上相對少有的墨西哥餐廳,提供不俗的墨西哥菜。同場附設酒吧,不吃晚餐的朋友亦可單點小吃多喝兩杯。不說不知,在餐廳的「深處」設了另一個「隱蔽」酒吧,bar tender 能按酒客喜惡調配具個人化的酒品,亦值得試試!

墨西哥向來盛產辣椒,據說全球約有一半的辣椒都是生長於墨西哥境內,由紅色、黃色、青色,以至綠色等的辣椒,都應有盡有,所以每次提起吃墨西哥菜,總給人辛辣的印象。不過筆者近日就應友人邀約,來到堅尼地城爹核士街這間墨西哥餐廳「11 Westside」,品嘗了多款地道墨西哥菜,發現那裡的菜式,不但唔會一味死辣,而且更依足墨西哥傳統多菜少肉的方法來烹調,實在令人驚喜。原來店子入口好神秘,要經過其他鋪頭,走入小巷,上埋樓梯才找到。沒想到原來這裡地方頗大,而且餐廳入面佔咗一半係酒吧。未踏入餐廳前,還以為店內會以經典嘅闊邊墨西哥帽子、仙人掌擺設等作裝飾,沒想到映入眼簾,是不經修飾的水泥牆身,加上壁上的流線型燈具、雲石餐桌,以及金色裝潢的酒吧,設計概念非常破格,完全跳出傳統框框。餐牌很簡單,一張過,分成底面兩頁,有前菜、玉米餅、特色小食、主菜同甜品,另外亦有一份飲品餐牌。好友向來識飲識食,所以點菜任務就一於交由她發板。先點飲品,我揀嘅呢杯 Agua Verde ($60),係由菠蘿、薄荷葉、龍舌蘭及蜜糖等炮製而成,味道飲落有點似 Mojito,冰涼清爽,一掃盛暑的悶熱。至於友人點嗰杯就叫做 No Make

先點飲品,我揀嘅呢杯 Agua Verde ($60),係由菠蘿、薄荷葉、龍舌蘭及蜜糖等炮製而成,味道飲落有點似 Mojito,冰涼清爽,一掃盛暑的悶熱。至於友人點嗰杯就叫做 No Makeup (Her Vice) ($120),用上熱情果、青檸、薄荷茶同薑等製作,據說味道亦不俗,入口清新又 refreshing,醒胃提神。

先來一客 Guacamole 牛油果醬配粟米脆片,點完菜後,見服務員推著一架餐車走近,原來店員會即席在客人面前將新鮮的牛油果搗爛,再混合青檸、紅洋蔥、辣椒、墨西哥白芝士及芫荽等製成又香又滑的牛油果醬,可以用來伴金黃香脆的粟米脆片吃。如果想食得豐富啲,客人亦可柯打 Guac + Salsa + Chips Combo ($180),除了有牛油果醬外,還配以一碟莎莎醬同吃,味道天然又健康。

接著是一客 Echo Park Sweet Corn ($58),呢款其實係墨西哥街頭常見的燒粟米, 不過餐廳就用咗「粟米仔」嚟炮製,面頭灑上芝士粉,並以沙律醬伴吃。玉米筍金黃小巧,入口質感脆嫩,味道鮮美。

食墨西哥菜又點可以無 Taco,餐廳現時有 7 款唔同口味嘅墨西哥夾餅可供選擇,仗著人多勢眾,當然要一次過將餐牌掃匀。餅皮據說是自家製作,上桌前略為輕煎,再配不同醬料及餡,每個分量小巧,食完也不會過飽。最好味嘅當然係 Carne Asada ($48),牛肉燒得夠曬香口。另外 Al Pastor ($38)  味道亦不俗,配料除咗有豬肉外,更加上菠蘿及牛油果醬,可中和油膩感。茹素嘅可以試下 Caulifornia Veggie ($38),餅皮特別塗上菲律賓 Adobo 醬,再加上烤牛油果及椰菜花,味道濃香可口。

主菜點了 Sea Bass ($280)  同 USDA Hanger Steak ($268),海鱸魚原條上桌,面頭鋪滿紫洋蔥並伴以意大利青瓜,另配上一小份墨西哥薄餅。鱸魚燒得外香內嫩,配醬料同吃,入口鮮酸辣香,滋味獨特。牛扒亦同樣做得很有水準,食落不但牛味重,油脂香,而且肉質不會太過腍身,有嚼頭。

眨下眼又到甜品時間,其實店裡嘅甜品,選擇不多,只得 Ami’s Tres Leches Cake ($88)  及 Churros III Ways ($78) 兩款。墨西哥三奶蛋糕味道很特別,成品烤好後再浸在三種奶製品入面,包括淡奶、煉乳及全脂牛奶,面頭唧上忌廉,入口綿密濕潤,奶香十足。Churros 即叫即做,炸得金黃香脆,上桌時伴以雲呢拿雪糕同爆谷,加上頂頭的焦糖醬,吃起來層次豐富又不膩口,更為這晚墨西哥美食之旅完美作結。

While a little on the pricey side, the food was some of the best Mexican food I've ever had in Hong Kong. The fresh, made-at-the-table guacamole that was part of the GSC (guac, salsa, and chips) was a highlight of the meal. The fish tacos were hot, fresh, and crispy, while the steak tacos were flavourful and tender. The staff were extremely attentive during our meal and exceeded our expectations. Overall, a fantastic meal!

Warning: This review is super long and it's not only about the food!

A few months ago, my friend in LA tagged me in a post about Salazar opening in HK. I was super excited coz #1 Tacos! #2 My bro is the amazing pastry chef at the LA one. I couldn't wait!
Then life happened and I completely forgot about this place until I was graciously invited to attend a birthday dinner there. It has just opened and it's called Eleven Westside.
First, it's located at The Hudson in Kennedy Town. The entrance is down an alley on Davis and up a flight of stairs. Beautiful patio with 6 large tables. I hope they will install fans later since HK is mostly hot and humid!
The space is big and spacious. The bar is beautiful and there's a pool table in the back room.
As we walked in I noticed 2 x 2 Tops and our table of 13. Unfortunately, we couldn't believe their bench design wasn't large group friendly. We were split into 3 tables with quite a large gap inbetween. We requested to push the tables together which meant someone was going to be sitting on the decorative table/bench without cushions or backing!
Anyway, after that incident we sat and were quite excited for this gathering. I came with low expectations coz it's new. Glanced over the menu and it looked good. Couple of pairing etc.
Our first pairing was Paloma, tequila based cocktail. It was light and refreshing which I quite enjoyed. We had salsa and chip and the table side Guacamole. I have always LOVED guacamole. Both were for sharing and with unlimited salsa and chips. Awesome start. Then everything went downhill.
My friend didn't like the Paloma, so he ordered a margarita. (Side note: No cocktail menu available when we dined!)
The server initially refused to get him a margarita because it was coming at the 5th course. That was kind of a what the heck moment. Finally after some words, it was made and served.
We wanted to get more guacamole and they wouldn't let us order another one. We weren't asking for a free one either.
Next course was Seaside Caesar Salad for sharing. It was a nice salad but nothing outstanding and the crab tasted out of a can.
3rd course was corn. Mexican street corn is amazing! However, that's not what we got. We shared the baby corn dish. It tasted good but all of us were pretty disappointed we were sharing such small dishes.
4th course was Ceviche Pacific also a sharing plate. Paired with a dark beer. Food came, we all ate tho most of us questioned why the Ceviche was cooked. The prawns in there were grilled and chopped into pieces mixed with chunky salsa and avocado. Not particularly good tho not unpleasant but I definitely wouldn't call it Ceviche. The beer pairing arrived after we all finished eating this course. Oops?
Finally it was tacos! Yay! Finally we got our own plate! 3 tacos each, Al Pastor (my fav), Carne asada and Pollo Asado. Paired with Margarita which was quite tasty, a bit on the sour side but good.
The tacos arrived and we were all like, what's that tortilla? Is it Indian roti? Chinese scallion pancake sans scallions? Where's the corn tortillas? Ok, maybe the filling is on fleek.
Chicken - what the actual heck? No seasoning, plain grilled chicken, topped with guacamole, raw onions and a whisper of cilantro. I already threw some Smokey hot sauce on it to make sure it will have taste...even that didn't save it. Only redeeming quality was the tenderness of the chicken and it wasn't dry.
Beef - upgrade from the chicken but where's the seasoning? Even salt and pepper would have been ok. Same dollop of guacamole, onions and cilantro. Redeeming quality was also the tenderness of the meat and it wasn't dry.
Pork - Thank God this was respectable. The amount I've eaten from taco trucks while I was living in LA meant I know a little how it should taste. Thank you for giving this Pork the spices and flavor it deserved. I would've been such a happy camper to have had 3 of these instead! Flavorful & juicy.
However, I really hope they get rid of the doughy sad excuse of tortillas for some real homemade corn ones. It would've made the Al Pastor tacos perfect.
6th course, both Hanger steak and Fish came. Both had the living hell cooked out of them. I never ever eat well done steak and this was more well done than the one given to our pregnant friends. Luckily it wasn't dry and was tender but 1 piece was enough. Not much flavor and the grilled veggies on the side was cold. Cold like a salad.
Fish....the texture was like eating chicken. Given it wasn't dry out 100% but damn, I've never eaten fish so cooked that it became like eating chicken breast. Flavor was better than the steak but that's a pretty low bar.
The wines paired with this was ok. Both from Mexico which was interesting.
Final dessert course. The wait time between the 2 courses was ridiculous even after requesting for it and for the horchata pairing first.
As we got bored of waiting, 1 friend ordered another glass of red, after waiting for a while, we asked another server, still nothing so I went up to the bar to ask the bartender. 5 mins later it finally came. Total time was way too long for 2 bartenders who were not doing anything but chatting with the servers.
But the horchata was no where in sight. We then had the birthday cake and a bottle of champagne. Another friend ordered a round of tequila shots. That came pretty fast.
Then the desserts finally came. 3 Tiny flans for 13 people. The flan I liked. A bit thick but well made. The churros finally came and it was pretty tasty tho they need help with plating.
I think I liked the dessert course the best coz they didn't disappoint like the others. Btw, Still no horchata.
When did the horchata arrive? When the bill came. It was also a shot, explained to us as a farewell shot since we had the tequila shot before the desserts.
Cost came to $850 HKD per person.

In my opinion, there's plenty more places to eat in HK for better quality service and food at that price.
I think total covers during the hrs we were there was 3 x 2 tops, 1x 4 Top and our 13 Top. From 7:30pm to 10:30pm.
Overall our group really enjoyed ourselves because we were among friends and had great conversations and discussions all night. The space is great, I hope the food and service can improve for their survival sake.

As a resident of Kennedy Town, I was super excited to try out this new restaurant. I love Mexican food and read-up ahead of time that this place was being opened by a famous Californian chef.

As a resident of Kennedy Town, I was super excited to try out this new restaurant. I love Mexican food and read-up ahead of time that this place was being opened by a famous Californian chef. Of course, by the time it opened the hype had spread through the city. The first time my boyfriend and I tried going it was full, with waiting time being one hour.

Yesterday it was full again but we decided to wait since it was 'only' about 30min. The reception desk encourages people who are waiting to take a seat on the terrace, where you can order drinks or snacks. 

FOOD
We ordered guacamole and chips and three tacos each. I must admit the tacos overall were pretty good. We especially liked the chicken tacos and shrimp tacos - they were well seasoned. The fish tacos and beef tacos were ok - good, but not spectacular. We ordered a second serving of chicken tacos each because they were great, but also because the portions are small and we were still hungry. 

But turning to the guac - that is surely the most overpriced guac in restaurant history. HKD150 for a portion with some tortilla chips.. That's US$20. Would this chef ever be able to charge that much for guac in his native California? For that price the restaurant had better produce the best guac on Earth. However, when they deliver your order you realise that what you're paying for is the 'show' as well as the food itself. The waiter brings a pestle and mortar, two avocados and a bunch of ingredients on a tray to your table, and proceeds to assemble the guac in front of you. For me, this would work if the waiter prepared it with a real flair and maybe went through the various ingredients on their tray, giving you a real sense that you can adjust the guac to your own taste. However instead you're asked if you want 'everything' and we did because their selection included all the things a normal guac should have anyway - cilantro, onion, tomato, etc. Maybe they could have suggested a few slightly more original flavourings for us to try (diced jalapeno perhaps or a variation with mango?) to make the experience more exciting.

All in all, given the price and 'show', the guac was very mediocre. It lacked salt and lime juice, we had to ask for more - but that's a personal preference.

We did not try their drinks last night, but hear they're good - although again, quite pricey at about HKD130 a pop.

SERVICE
We were approached by about 4 different servers during our 1-hour dinner. Overall it felt like there was a lot of confusion on the floor among the staff. We had to wait a while to get a refill of chips and waited even longer  for our bill. Whoever approached us though was always friendly, which is important. 

 ATMOSPHERE 
The place is very popular among locals and non-locals alike. The restaurant and terrace outside was absolutely packed the whole time we were there. Definitely not a place to go if you are looking for an intimate conversation. 

Overall, I don't know if I would recommend this place... Food is good, but I just feel the hype and the price don't match what you're actually getting. And the price on that guac is criminal!
