Ok yeah, we found it. Ok yeah, the door was secretive. Nice gimmick, but what really matters is the food inside (that said, the door is a totally nice touch. Super creative, so kudos to whoever thought of it!) And what of the food inside? Mouth-watering. Powerfully flavoured. Memorable. Give me more. Chide all friends who haven’t been here yet. All these phrases describe the delight rumbling through my mind (and stomach) upon dining at Mrs. Pound. Seriously, this review is gonna be glowing.
It was pig-out night with @hangrywifey, so we let the food flow a bit more than usual, which is never a bad thing! So, everyone’s been raving about the Sriracha Sweet Corn (58HKD), and rightly so!!!! The Sriracha flavour is buried between layers of butter and parmesan, and only kicks shortly after first bite. I fell in love with the creamy consistency of the perfectly grilled corn kernels causing me to want another, and another, and another. However, this was not *that* kind of pig-out night. This dish though, obviously, is the most accessible and the one not-to-be-missed. Enough said. I’m still imagining the flavour. Visions of kernels float in my head.

The Xinjiang Spiced Lamb, (40HKD/skewer - minimum 2) came next, and it was a taste explosion. The meat was lean, juicy and full of flavour. I loved the slight hint of spice and, paired with the light and refreshing homemade pesto sauce provided as the side, the meat just couldn’t go wrong! Warm, plump and delightful, I could have gone for another order of these as well!

The only dish that slightly disappointed was the Rendang Poutine (125HKD), but that was only because the fries were not very crispy. That was completely forgiven due to the multilayered textures rippling through the rendang itself. The meat was so tender and the rendang (I lived in Malaysia for 4 years, so rendang has become an old friend quite quickly) was just beautiful. Sweet and spicy at the same time, it brought back memories of rendangs past. A tad expensive for the amount of poutine received, but utterly delicious all the same.

The final dish was the Double-fried ‘Ma La’ Wings (75HKD), covered in fried garlic and chilli peppers. Not overly spicy, the garlic/pepper combo added to the complexity of the dish, but for me the pièce de résistance was how extraordinarily tender and succulent the chicken meat tasted. Sweet goodness, I was in love. I may have even written a short song including the lyrics “Ma La, you could never be gau la”. Teehee.

For drinks, @hangrywifey ordered a Bohemian Sour (110HKD), and couldn’t stop raving about the spice (or was it tea?) placed on top which yielded a smokey flavour in her nose while drinking. We neglected to find out what it was, so you might just have to ask for yourself! I opted for a Japanese Craft Beer, Yona Yona Ale (68HKD), and, as should be expected with beer, loved every drop of it.

All in all, there wasn’t a bad bite in the place. Every bite seemed better than the last, and that is a special thing when eating such delicious food so regularly.
Finally, the only negative about Mrs. Pound is how tiny the space actually is. I continually felt that I was enjoying a meal with the table next to us, rather than with my fiancé; but that’s oftentimes just how HK is, so we put it past us and focused on the meal itself. If one can keep that focus in mind, I have no doubt that Mrs. Pound will deliver every time. Keep it up!
