As a pretty health-conscious foodie, I have included My House on my to-visit list for quite a while. I'm so glad that I finally got to visit after missing their Restaurant Week promotion a few months ago --- their set lunch deserves two thumbs up!! Ingredients were fresh, food was delicious and carefully prepared, seasoning was on point, and services were great. For the price of HK$138 for 2 courses and $168 for 3 courses (coffee / tea included for both), the quality and portion exceeded my exp
As far as I remember, the choices for starters were <Soup of the day>, <Marinated and Roasted Vegetables> and <Beetroot Salad>. Choices for mains were <Paper baked Red Snapper>, <Pumpkin rotolo> and <Beef bourguignon>. Dessert of the day were <Lemon Cheesecake> and <Pecan Pie>.
Both my friend and I went for the same options for starters and main.
As soon as we ordered, fresh and warm bread were served.

As a health-conscious foodie, I was able to holdback, and just had a tiny bit for tasting
- it was nice and creamy, but too heavy for my liking.
So I had my bread with my starter instead.

Each type of veg was flavourfully marinated with a different seasoning, all of which were roasted on point.
I particularly liked the carrots, which were sweetly marinated with an apt amount of honey, elevating the natural sweetness from roasting.
The fresh cherry tomatoes were lightly seasoned just right and naturally sweet.
Everything matched well with the goat cheese (or was it feta...), and went well with my bread.
I'm giving this a 4-star instead of 5-star rating only because the red bell peppers and onions were, although pleasantly tangy, a bit too salty on their own for my liking. Nevertheless, I am not complaining as they went well with my bread.
Feeling happy with my cravings for veggies satisfied, I sat back lazily, and carried on the enjoyable catch-up with my friend at our comfy sofa seat.
We didn't have to wait long for our mains...
<Paper baked Red Snapper>
served with giant couscous and leeks.

Considering the price of this set lunch, a 5-star rating for this dish is an understatement!
The Red Snapper was steaming hot, fresh and juicy.
It was hardly seasoned --- and rightly so, because it was so fresh!
As someone who enjoys sashimi very much, I believe that good quality fish doesn't need much seasoning. All that is needed is a dash of salt, pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Voila! The perfect fish --- Simple. Delicate. Tasty.
Soaking up the aromatic, sweet and beautifully flavourful juice from the fresh Red Snapper, the leeks and giant couscous were absolutely delicious too!
Services had already been great throughout, and oh, thank you so much for the complimentary side salad! It was yummy.
<Red Cabbage and Fresh Mint Leaves>lightly seasoned with olive oil and topped with an apt amount of finely grated cheese.

Fresh herbs are unbeatable.
(Well, in fact everything presented was so fresh and carefully prepared ;) )
Since the main was so good, I changed my mind and decided to end the (supposedly healthy) lunch on a sweet note
We ordered a <Pecan Pie> for sharing.

The pie filling was, to my relief, aptly sweet.
All too often, pie fillings is overly sweet and does not balance well with the fruity / nutty toppings.
I also enjoyed the oaty crust, which gave the pie more texture.
Am giving this a 4-star instead of 5-star rating only because I wish there were more pecans
Last but not least, our drinks as included in the set lunch.

--- It is really good value for money.
Considering the portion and quality of food, we were both a bit sorry to see that this lovely restaurant was rather empty during our visit (at around 12:30-2:10 on a Tuesday).
I look forward to visiting again and trying different dishes!
