I've been eager to try this place since I saw it open. Things like salads and sandwiches make perfect lunches, especially in the heat, but until now, there weren't any good salad places in Sheung Wan. I'm happy to say that's changed.I got a custom salad. Even though they have all the toppings laid out like Subway, you order everything in advance at the register and then they make it.Here's what I got:Iceberg lettuceCarrotsCherry tomatoesBlack olivesGrilled chicken (+$10)Cheddar cheese (+$10)Crou
I got a custom salad. Even though they have all the toppings laid out like Subway, you order everything in advance at the register and then they make it.
Here's what I got:
Iceberg lettuceCarrots
Cherry tomatoes
Black olives
Grilled chicken (+$10)
Cheddar cheese (+$10)
Croutons (+$4)
Buttermilk ranch dressing
Yes, I know that's not a healthy salad. It's what I wanted. The whole thing was $84.
Negatives: I wish the lettuce were chopped up more, I had many very large pieces, which made the salad difficult to mix and to eat. The cherry tomatoes are enormous (much bigger than cherries, for instance), and I'd prefer them smaller or chopped up. The croutons were tiny and limp with no crunch or flavor. I wish they had pickled jalapenos.
Positives: the salads are generous portions. You can't see it too well from the picture, but the bowl it comes in is deep. The carrots are perfectly sliced for salads. The chicken is good quality and nicely cooked, though I'd prefer to pay more to get more chicken. The ranch is great-- I wouldn't bother to say that, since it is almost definitional, but I have gotten bad "ranch" in HK.
Could go both ways: all the vegetables are hydroponic, which means they're grown in a strictly temperature-controlled and humidity-controlled greenhouse. They're fresh and possibly more nutritious, but the carbon footprint of such an operation is way bigger than getting ordinarily grown vegetables off the boat.
My wife got:
Mesclun mixCherry tomatoes
Chickpeas
Red pepper
Grilled chicken
Croutons
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Hers was $74. She liked it a lot.
Will I come back? Yes, definitely. And I'll try to get something healthier next time. Great B+
