Monsieur Chatte now has a lunchtime salad bar on the second floor. After the opening of Jenny's Salad and Purple Tomato, and now this, the salad competition is getting pretty thick in Sheung Wan. For my vote? I actually think M. Chatte does it best.Here's the deal: for $60 you get lettuce + 3 ingredients, with an additional $10 per ingredient. The ingredients (and I probably don't recall them all) include: turkey cubes, chicken, ham, roast beef (?), emmental, feta, goat cheese, broccoli, carrots
Here's the deal: for $60 you get lettuce + 3 ingredients, with an additional $10 per ingredient. The ingredients (and I probably don't recall them all) include: turkey cubes, chicken, ham, roast beef (?), emmental, feta, goat cheese, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, macaroni, and some other stuff. Additionally, you get free red onions, crutons, and some seeds and nuts.
I chose the chicken, carrots, and goat cheese, with onions and crutons, and a little bit of French vinegar and oil. Here are some things I liked about the salad:1. The woman making it makes it Subway-style, by adding the ingredients as you ask for them. I don't like the style where you order all the ingredients at once and then they make it. That's when things you don't want start to sneak their way in.
2. They are very generous with the cheese and meat. I like Jenny's Salad and Purple Tomato, but there is much better value here.
3. The crutons are amazing. Not so at Jenny's Salad.
4. They toss the salad for you before packaging it so you don't have to figure out how to stir it in a tiny plastic box. Not so at Purple Tomato.
5. Free stuff. All the other salad places charge you for things like onions, when the actual value of a few thin slices of onion sits around $0.00.
6. A little! Since they make the salad in front of you, you can get "a little!" bit of dressing and it will actually happen.
I have two complaints though. First, I was unimpressed with the quality of the chicken. There was lots of skin and I got a few inedible bits. I think I'd go with the turkey cubes next time. Second, of far less importance, I wish they'd throw a bone to Americans and have ranch dressing. I know, I know, but it's the thing I like most about salads.
All that said, and like I said, I think this is the best place for salad in the SW area right now. So get in before they give up the ghost or jack up the prices.
