Grilled butter chicken
烤雞大概係用印度butter chicken醃雞嘅方法,用乳酪配韭蔥+濃厚嘅醬汁醃到入味再焗,令到雞肉鹹鹹香香又有肉汁,配埋大量蔥+京蔥絲,清爽感能夠平衡到肉香油香。白飯係印度香米,乾身偏硬,幾有特色。

最近發掘左一間位於西營盤小巷既小店
主打法式印度菜 - 想講真係非常高質
相比起平時既印度菜較為健康D
不過口味仍然偏重 - 正中我口味呢!
開放式廚房可以睇到成個煮食過程
冇平時法國菜既神秘感 環境好舒適
而且店員都好friendly 同仔細介紹菜式

🦑Stuffed Calamari
呢個係招牌菜之一 - 店員都極力推介
其實呢個係豬腩肉碎釀魷魚筒配蜆
一咬開魷魚筒D肉汁肉碎係傾湧而出🤯 非常香口
配搭新鮮又大粒既蜆肉 鮮味四溢 又索到湯汁
湯汁除左有滿滿既海鮮味之外
仲有開心果 煙靭口感中帶點脆口
再用側邊伴有既Pita Bread 配湯汁食都好唔錯
如果個包就少油DD就完美了!

飲落比較似烈酒 酸得黎帶得有微辣
香料味道都比較重 不過飲飲下都接受到

🍸Jouissance ($120)
Vodka / Passion Fruit / Cucumber / Lime
一開始飲都係覺得酒精味道好濃烈
但係相比Bloody Delight 會多一份清新感
百香果同青瓜味都突出 相對地易入口D

整體黎講 呢間非常高質 值得一試
店鋪雖小 但係氣氛都好好 慶祝特別節日都好岩
以呢個質素黎講真係比得上出面高級餐廳
價錢方面都非常友好 又試到特別既菜式

[ Pondi | 西營盤 ]


A very cozy and small restaurant hidden in the alleyway of third street that serves Indian fusion cuisine. The fuse Indian spices and flavors with French/ modern techniques. Their name is inspired by ‘Pondicherry’ and reflects the colonization period between Britain and India.


I made a booking at 6 and at 6:30 they were already packed with patrons. It was amazing to see them pump out so much food from such a small open kitchen (literally a stove, plancha and a counter) but was reminded they had another central kitchen as well.


As they have an open concept with the main entrance being opened as well, it was freezing when I came in mid December when it was 10°C 🥶 because of this, they should consider offering hot water to patrons.


Their menu is designed for at least two people and even offer a tasting menu to try most dishes on the menu. But I am dining alone so opted for a la carte but even the chef said most of their dishes are for sharing.


—— ——


Prawn & Leeks Samosa $110


A riff of the regular samosa but made with phyllo pastry instead of the regular short crust pastry dough. Thus, it is much crispier and less heavy, the individual layers also have butter between them to provide a smoky and nutty sweetness.


The filling is quite ’meaty’ although there is no meat 🤭 The prawns are more like small shrimps and super savory with a hint of spice. There are a few pieces of them but I can’t make out what the rest of the ‘meaty’ filling is, chopped up prawn? Anyways, the leek is chopped quite unevenly which displeases me but the taste is very pronounced without being too pungent. Not a bad combination with the phyllo but nothing too special.


What pleasantly surprised me were the condiments available. The mango chutney is spicy and tangy with a strong sweetness. The blueberry relish is my personal favorite as it is spiced (not spicy) and acidic due to it being pickled. The cucumber raita is refreshing and creamy, the ideal sauce.


I asked for one samosa instead of two as I am one person but the size is quite small and I think I could have eaten both of them 😬 I also wish they gave me more sauces and I desperately needed them to enhance the samosa.


—— ——


Tofu Korma $128


I really simple but delicious and comforting curry for 10°C weather tonight🥶


The onsen egg may seem unnecessary but it actually provides creaminess to the overall korma and balances out the various spices and chilli used.


I love how they layer in the spice starting with the homemade korma then following on with chilli oil and finally topping with fried shallots and garlic and crisp curry leaves. All of these components contribute to the final savory flavor that this dish provides.


The crispy tofu is coated with corn starch and some sort of sugar as it has a caramel layer to it, similar to the sugar syrup on harden fruits (冰糖葫蘆) (but only for the texture and not flavor) as you can feel it stick to your teeth. This coating keeps it crispy and crunchy whilst sitting on the korma and contrast nicely with the soft and smooth tofu on the inside. The relatively bland tofu is a great vessel to have for this rich korma. It also made for a nice bite with the chewy flatbread.


I want to highlight their fried shallots and garlic and crispy curry leaves that use which adds another layer of flavor and texture. The shallots and garlic are like capsules of flavor as it has been caramelized and thus flavored enhanced, they have a nice bite and chew to them. Whereas the curry leaves are thin and crispy, shattering in your mouth and the flavors just dissolve.


The portion is very sufficient for one and great for sharing between two.


—— ——


Flatbread $40 x2


This ‘flatbread’ is like a crossover between a naan and a paratha. It has been enriched with yogurt and ghee which makes the flavor sweeter and richer, as well as makes the texture chewier and softer. Furthermore, they roll it like a 蔥油卷 (by rolling it into a thin log then rolling up that log) and thus there are distinctive layers and it makes it sorta flaky too. Flaky in the sense that the top crust crumbles but each flake is a piece of dough and not a layer of dough. In addition, the top crust of the bread is so caramelized that you can peel it off as if it was milk bread and eat it like a crisp. So tasty.


Flavor wise, it’s so good that it can be eaten alone. I unintentionally ate half of it by itself because I was obsessed with the richness and softness of it that I had to order another plate of it to finish my korma with 😅 They also use beer to aid the fermentation process which is why there is less ‘yeast’ taste and aroma and a more sour and ‘alcoholic’ smell to it. The beer also adds sweetness to the rich bread.


Portion wise, it is quite small. The originally small piece of bread it cut into 4 pieces. $40 for 1 piece is quite unseemly but at least they make it themselves and it’s delicious. But I did have to order another round of this which made me feel extremely full after leaving. The perfect portion would have been one and a half pieces. After leaving, I feel very heavy and tired (好樓) and I partially blame this fat-heavy flatbread.


Also, they make the bread in their central kitchen and have the staff bring it up when a patron orders it.


I also wanted to try their gougeres but apparently they removed it from the menu just days before I came as it was not very popular and required a lot of effort.

💬 Overall, the food here is great and unique, unlike any I’ve had before. Their pricing is also quite reasonable but their portions could get a tad bit bigger. Since their restaurant is so small, it may feel quite cramped having servers squeeze around you as they have four people on the floor. Saying that, I do want to come back for their other dishes or try their sister restaurant Brut.

The other main was “Butter Chicken” - really tender in a westernised curry sauce, topped with leeks & scallion. The side “Gouegere” went well with the sauce!

Generally the concept & flavours were decent, just that the portion for the #restaurantweek menu was a bit small, I’d have gone for a-la-carte.

Explosion of flavours! An untypical take on beetroot salad, the earthiness from the beets was well-balanced by the creamy parsnip pureé underneath and the beautiful, fresh dill on top. 🌿

Must try! It was actually my first time trying a gougère so I had no idea what to expect. The bread was homemade freshly baked, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. An easy 5/5 if it arrived earlier instead of at the end but still, what a treat! 
🤤 4.5/5

🌱 Vegetarian friendly: Yes! A good portion of their menu is vegetarian (also some vegan and gluten-free options) 
🤩 Simple but effective menu, although the place was small but it felt intimate and cosy.
💰 HK$250-500 pp 

⭐️ Overall rating: 4.5/5

🤔 Revisit? Absolutely! I wish they would do brunch/ lunch as well.

同成班女仔friends聚會,最好就係一間環境美觀坐得舒服的餐廳,所以今次特登預約左呢間新派餐廳😋唔使點等就有人帶位,入座非常smooth👍🏻點左幾款菜式體驗下呢排流行既fusion,平時同朋友都少食either印度or法國菜,所以老實講無從比較,但係真係好食同個taste感覺好新鮮,唔係平時食既一般西餐會食到既味,係幾特別👍🏻人均5百幾,但食到好飽,坐既環境都唔錯所以cp值都幾高,會再去同recommend to others

Chef tasting menu only $500,質素超級好,服務態度又好!Tasting menu 可以試晒佢哋最受歡迎嘅菜式。呢間舖頭細細地,我係有預約咗先來。我覺得呢間舖頭超級有心,而且菜式好有特色~Menu:由佢appetizer 開始,到甜品我都覺得做得好出色。全部食物都係即煮的,一個open kitchen 咩都見到晒😂😆🤣我自己最鍾意佢哋uni appetizer同埋佢哋個grilled butter chicken,特別係個麵包好好食,點個sauce喺一流。Stuffed calamari 都睇得出係用好多時間煮嘅菜式。可以好肯定,我一定會再嚟😆😆😊😊

We decided to opt for the Tasting Menu ($450 each), and the first course served was Avocado Mess. A spread that was prepared with avocado, black chickpeas, pomegranate, corn and yoghurt dressing, it was great in taste with the different elements harmonized together in flavours, with impeccable and appetizing acidity. The papadums were crispy and having nice peppery tone. A very nice starter.

The second course was Tamarind Roasted Beetroots. The beetroots were presented in two styles, as thin slices and roasted pieces. There was a nice parsnip puree underneath, with some goat cheese, honey garlic vinaigrette, dill oil to add to the flavours. The interesting pieces of soaked walnut gave a contrast on the bite in addition. Another nice one.

The third course was Dry-Aged Beef Tartare. Served in a crispy puri, the beef tartare was mixed with some sambal mayo, together with pickled watermelon skin. On the top were the balsamic vinegar pearls which further enhanced the delicacy with savoury taste. My personal favourite among the appetizers.

The fourth course was Escargot Gratin. The escargot was stuffed with the traditional garlic spread which had been modified with the addition of some chilli and coconut, with the effect complementary and not feeling awkward. The cabbage slaw not only helped to reduce the heaviness of the garlic butter spread in the escargot but also absorbing the flavours from the jus and puree underneath.

The final small bite was Duck Kanda Bhaji, The duck confit had been shredded before mixing with a batter and deep-fried. Paired with sour coconut gravy and parsley oil, the duck meat was nice in taste but cannot avoid the problem of being a bit dry with this preparation technique. Still overall an enjoyable dish.

Coming to the main dishes. We could smell the Stuffed Calamari when it was being cooked in the open kitchen, and on the flavours it also delivered. The calamari itself was not rubbery, and the fillings were tasty. The chef added some pork belly and fenugreek leaves to enhance the flavours, and at the same time having the clams to cook with fino sherry for a tasty broth, plus plenty of pistachio to give a crunchy bite.

The other main dish was Grilled Butter Chicken. The traditional Indian dish was reborn in another style, with the chef adding leek ash yoghurt and scallion salsa to the curry, reducing the heaviness one often felt with the curry and at the same time with the chicken having a nice smoky note because of the grilling.

For dessert it was Fried Coconut Milk. Rather like the Chinese Shunde fried milk, the coconut milk was not too strong in taste, with the coconut caramel provided additional sweetness and luscious happiness. The chef also added some pistachio to give some contrast in texture. A good finale for the meal.

The service is nice, with the staff friendly but can perhaps do a more detailed explanation of the dishes. Together with a few glasses of wine and some drinks, the total bill was $1,496 which was quite reasonable. A nice place to try out how the chef smartly integrated the Indian cuisine utilizing his French cooking knowledge.
