Kaum @ Potato Head Hong Kong (已結業)

住在西營盤都一段時間了，由充滿本地特色的小店到現在成行成市都是為外國人開的餐廳。最近這裏開了potato head是在Bali很有名的一間餐廳,他分為兩部份餐廳就是Kaum,另外還有一個隱蔽的音樂廳。餐廳裝飾很特別。餐廳原身是一間幼稚園，他們內裏刻意保留了部份幼稚園的原有裝飾。大門進去的通道，如果你細心留意的話，你會發現左手邊的牆壁便用了原有幼稚園的大閘來裝飾。食物質素非常穩定，如果你任意點任何一道菜，味道都有保證。可能是印尼菜，每一道菜味道都比較豐富濃厚，吃慣清淡廣東菜的客人來說，可能會不適應印尼菜的味道。

Kaum is probably the best authentic Indonesian restaurant in town (of the three that I know of). They've got a great open kitchen so you can see them preparing your food too and I like how professional the chefs are.If you have time, try to do a weekday lunch. It's not crowded like on weekends because there aren't any offices around so its nice and relatively quieter. On weekends the place is packed and very VERY loud.Best dish: Gado-gado which is an Indonesian salad with peanut sauce and kerupu

本來今天是想去一家普普通通的café吃個all day breakfast 的，所以在open rice找到名叫Potato Head的café, 怎料進去的時候變了這家Malaysian +Singaporean 菜的餐廳，真是匪而所思呢，純碎是在擺烏龍的情況下找到的，哈哈。這家餐廳氣派非凡，走高貴且現代的工業風，深受外國人喜愛，當然，fusion 菜的特色就是價錢不菲又吃不飽.. 放眼餐牌，可以選擇set brunch menu ($395 +10% per head), 或是散叫small plate sharing 和main dish。 Set brunch menu對於一個casual 的午餐來說未免有點貴了，所以選了一個small plate sharing + 一個main dish。由於男朋友是星馬菜專家，點菜就有他發板了，反正menu 的菜名我也看不明白哈哈。 Small Sharing Plates  TAHU TELOR  $80 (Fried bean curd omelette served with bean sprouts, chives, and sh

Stepping inside the 8000 square foot restaurant that is Kaum, Potato Head Hong Kong is pretty surreal. (It sits on the same block as another Sai Ying Pun fave of mine, Fish School.) The restaurant/ bar/coffee shop/retail space/ multi-purpose space (phew, that was long) is a joint collaboration with PTT Family, the lifestyle and F&B group behind the ever popular Potato Head Beach Club in Bali. The space is beautiful, calming and bright. Blue and bright hues, dark woods, and beach-y vibes are stru

There is nothing more despairing on Earth than having a horrendous dinner and emptying your wallet for it. Sure, you can suggest various forms of torture, or something like a lobotomy. But then again, you don't pay anything for torture and you certainly do not leave with a bad taste in your mouth after a lobotomy. Basically the closest comparison to an expensive meal gone bad is a robbery, where your soul and your wallet are being robbed by the restaurant in question. Here at Kaum by Potatohead,

西上環地區因著地鐵的便利，越來越多食肆進駐，除了西餐外，很多具水準的東南亞菜也慢慢冒起頭來。最近，友人帶我到一個充滿藝術色彩的文化空間Potato Head， 品嚐了一頓非一般的印尼菜。這個文化空間很有特式，除了印尼菜餐廳KAUM外，還有咖啡室、酒吧、音樂室及商店，集合所有元素在一起，就成了這個藝術文化空間。 是日除了品嚐印尼菜外，還有一個目的，就是跟大廚學做分別是Sambal Soto及SambalMatah的兩款參巴醬，各有特式，但製法都相當簡單，而且所做出來的味道卻很美味，除了當醬汁外，還可拿來撈麵也可以。 玩完參巴醬工作坊後，肚子也餓，就開始品嚐美味的印尼菜。先由Soto AyamKaum開始，賣相平平無奇，清雞湯味道很清淡，不過材料卻放得很豐富，有雞蛋、烤雞肉及芽菜等等。可是，加入隨湯附上的配料後，味道變得出奇地不，美味得多，而且純粹依著個人口味來調節，小弟的魔法就是兩瓣青檸、一小匙Sambal Soto及少許特製蒜粒，酸酸辣辣，十分開胃。 如果要說燒烤食物是印尼菜的特式，那麼就絕對少不了Sate IgaBabiKecap ，一串串的肥美的烤豬腩串放在

上個週末，我來到西營盤第三街上度假feel濃濃的Potato Head，享受了一個休閒輕鬆好時光。Potato Head一站有齊餐廳、咖啡室、精品擺設與服裝店，以及還有我們臨離開前的驚喜發現music room。要不是幼稚園的招牌和鐵閘仍保留著，我真想像不到眼前這時尚型格的lifestyle space原來前身是間幼稚園呢！來到Potato Head，首先會在入口當眼位置見到咖啡店 I Love You So Coffee。而在咖啡店對面是服裝與擺設等的生活精品店Canaan。接著就來到裝修摩登時尚、又帶點熱帶風情的酒吧部份。中午時分自然光充裕，感覺分外清新，真想在沙發上懶洋洋輕鬆渡過整個下午呢～而藍色布簾後就是印尼餐廳Kaum，亦即是這日我們吃午餐的地方。我的目光被牆上與天花板的印尼Torajan傳統手雕工藝裝飾吸引了！每一片都是獨特的，加上地上的印尼特色地毯，氣氛時尚之餘也帶濃濃的印尼度假風情。Kaum餐廳主要分成2個部份 - 氣氛較熱鬧的長枱與面對開放式廚房的吧枱座位，而另一邊的用餐區就以散枱為主，想自己幾個朋友獨佔一張枱方便傾計就坐這邊吧。在這環境下，最好就是先來一杯熱帶風情的

Following successes of the iconic beach clubs at Bali and Singapore, Kaum at Potato Head Hong Kong was first opened in late May. The multi-purpose space is set at Third Street of Sai Ying Pun, combines an all-day coffee shop, retail store, a private music venue, a bar and the Indonesian restaurant – Kaum.The room itself is so intimate, the bar session is so comfortable and long, whilst all the beautiful painted ceiling and wall panels are hand-crafted by the Torajan tribe in West Sulawesi, Indon

We had a wonderful meal at Kaum last night with my Indonesian friends and they also loved the food very much. Great atmosphere and place was packed until very late. Not suitable if you are planning to have romantic, quiet evening out since the place could be quite noisy. We are seated right next to the kitchen which may explain why. We loved the Crispy Suckling Pig, Pork Belly cooked in Bamboo and herbs. Tuna tartar marinated with coconut oil and lime was also awesome. Will definitely be back so

Forget about the positioning of the restaurant (contem, fusion, what not...),given this is an Indonesian cuisine, there are typical dishes, such as Gado Gado, satays, Nasi Goreng etc., on which you will have certain level of expectation.  I mean Nasi Goreng, it's a dish that I used to order from room service when I went on a business trip and didn't know what to order.  It's a dish that can't really go TOO wrong.  But, the Nasi Goreng we had last Saturday, was burnt (and thus VERY bitter) and su

First time coming here with a friend because of reading positive article from SCMP. As an Indonesian myself, I did not expect too much for the food, so we just ordered Gado-Gado and Sate Babi (Pork Satay). To my surprise, the Gado-Gado tasted like back home and the Sate Babi's texture and taste were AMAZING (must try). It was Wednesday night but the place was full of people from different backgrounds!! After eating those small plates, we decided to try the main dish (Kakap or Fish with curry sau
