提供以豬肉為主的菜式。焗豬手及豬耳粉很不錯。環境舒適, 服務好, 價錢亦合理。可以一試。Innovative pork based menu;Very decent pork knuckle;Comfy decor, good service and decent drinks list;Great background music selection!Definitely worth a try. Decor:Located at the L. Place, it had a spacious interior with a bar area and plenty of widely spaced out tables. The whole place was down to earth and had an air of casualness. It somehow felt like eating inside a cottage in the countryside. I've been here once for lunch. I was quite impressed

Decor:
Located at the L. Place, it had a spacious interior with a bar area and plenty of widely spaced out tables. The whole place was down to earth and had an air of casualness. It somehow felt like eating inside a cottage in the countryside.
I've been here once for lunch. I was quite impressed by their pork knuckle so I didn't hesitate when invited to try out their new menu. These were what we had that night:
Wild mushroom soup:
The texture of the wild mushroom soup was rather thick. It was very aromatic and had some chopped mushrooms in the soup, which we enjoyed. The bit of cream and olive oil also enhanced the taste. Perhaps the stock was made of pork? Anyway, this was very good. Pork cake with smoke chilli aioli:
It was a bit sweet and a bit spicy. These pork cakes did not use minced pork, they used shreds of pork meat instead. Interesting appetizer.Caesar Salad with sourdough, parmesan & anchovies:
An interesting variation of caesar salad with anchovies added. The lettuces used were fresh and crunchy. The parmesan used was rather rich. The anchovies gave the salad a nice kick. I enjoyed this too. Pancette Scallops on pea & broad bean hash with cider dressing:
The pancetta bacon around the scallops were slightly tough. The cider dressing was quite overpowering and made the scallops fairly sour. Fortunately, the timing was good so the scallops retains its juiciness. Being a fan of mushy peas, I liked the broad bean hash.Pig cheek with carolina pepper sauce & granny smith salad:
The cheeks were placed on a bed of chopped green apple (granny smith green apples). We were quite surprised about the texture. We thought it would be rather soft like pork neck but in fact those were lean with flavourful meat taste.Pig Ear Shaped Pasta with spicy sweet fennel sausage & parmesan:
The pig ear shaped pasta was essentially a thicker and springier version of conchiglie. This was quite spicy with a very nice fennel aftertaste. Somehow this had a comfort food type quality to it. I enjoyed this a lot. Slow cooked Pork belly with roasted apple puree and local greens with chillies:
This really had pork taste but the skin was really tough. I'm more used to Chinese style roasted pork belly with a crispy skin.The local greens (kale), however, were very good. Surpringly better than many Chinese restaurants.
Pork knuckle with sauerkraut & creamy mustard sauce:
Salted Pig's signature: This English version was well marinated yet less salty than most German pork knuckles I've had before, which was good. On the other hand, it was less crispy.* Nevertheless, it did not disappoint. Always good with sauerkraut. The creamy mustard sauce was an interesting condiment.(*I had this again after this tasting. This time it was a lot crispier.)
Norwegian Salmon with lemon, courgettes, basil & white wine:
It's not easy to do pan fried salmon well. Usually its either too salty, too dry or both. This was surpringly good, it was succulent with pronounced umami. Creamy Puree& Eton Mess:
I don't have a sweet tooth but I really enjoyed the modified Eton Mess (made with banana instead of strawberry). We also had some nice homemade cookies - (usually served with milkshake but not this time because we all had quite a lot of drinks) - which was a lovely end to this great evening.
Finally, a special thanks to Smashing Pumpkin & Carmen for inviting me.
I could not end this review without mentioning the great background music selection here which included classics such as:
What a feeling!
