Ship Street in Wanchai is taking a long long time to become a foodie street. Many restaurants here are really just budget restaurants. Nice variety, not so nice in taste. The only really high end place is Bo Innovation and now this, Madam Sixty Ate.Very nicely done decor. Open kitchen. There is a painting of using an ingredient of their specialty dishes. For example, for rabbit pasta, there is a painting of a split open pea pod showing three peas inside which are baby rabbits. The plastic chand
Very nicely done decor. Open kitchen. There is a painting of using an ingredient of their specialty dishes. For example, for rabbit pasta, there is a painting of a split open pea pod showing three peas inside which are baby rabbits. The plastic chandeliers are a nice touch. All these things work together to signal a serious foodie place. So the expectation is not too low.
Came here for lunch twice, each time ordering the more expensive dishes on the a la carte menu.
The food? Wonderful presentation. When you see a dish being served at the next table you want to order something like that. Nice color combo and nice visual textural combination too. But the taste? Well, from passable to not so good.
They achieve colorful, country cooking like rustic presentation using a lot of micro leaves and flowers, and foam. The pate in a small glass preservation jar is a good example of this. It is topped with colorful blue, green and yellow leaves. The pate tastes quite dry, though. Somewhat acceptable in a rough textured country pate. No big problem but not my favorite.
Particularly disappointing for me was the slow cooked woolly pig shoulders for two. At around $400 a dish to be shared by two, by no means cheap for lunch. When it arrived, it turned out to be quite dry and stringy. Actually, very dry and stringy. A classy foodie restaurant should not make this kind of mistake. We abandoned this dish after some valiant effort.
Two dried out dishes? I wonder if this is how the chef here perceive food textures? I need succulence and juicy dishes. If that is what you are looking for, you should go elsewhere.
The chocolate mousse, tiramisu like dessert is quite good. It is really creamy and fattening, though.
I might come back for drinks and may be a small plate to nibble on, but not for meals.
