I was looking for somewhere to have a celebratory lunch and happened to see this lunch sets on a few selected days in November with guest chefs of Blend Brothers from Zeeland, The Netherlands. Price was HK$508 (4-course: 2 appetisers + 1 main + 1 dessert) and HK$488 (3-course: 1 appetiser + 1 main + 1 dessert).WELCOME APÉRITIF餐前酒Gin Basil Smash | Virgin Basil SmashWe went for the mocktail instead of the cocktail. It smelt very rich of mint and basil. Flavour was of the right degree of sweetness. There were some crispy Barley added on top. Yummy.There were three types of round bread, raisin, sour dough and baguette. They were served by a server at our table. They were still warm. The raisin bread was soft and rich in raisins. The sour dough had a very crispy surface. The other one was something not worth trying. Simply too hard.SALAD AND APPETIZER BAR前菜沙律吧There were a lot of choices at the salad and appetizer bar. Hot dishes included mussels and bacon quiche. Cold seafood included scallops, seared tuna, prawn, crab meat salad. Cold meat included beef, sausages. Cold cuts included smoked salmon, three types of ham with super sweet and juicy Italian melon. There were quite a number of different bowls of mixed salads, and also single types of veggies (asparagus, pumpkin, mushrooms, etc.). There was a type of soup which was tomato soup. I must have also missed some dishes here because there were too many to describe. Quality was reasonable and choices were plentiful. It was quite a great value for money salad and appetizer bar.This salad and appetiser bar is counted as one appetiser. It wasn't clear on the menu until the server told us so.ORDUTCH CROQUETTEbrioche | Holstein neck | Rubia Gallega fat | mizuna salad | shallot compote | smoked eel | Périgord black truffle牛油麵包｜霍爾斯坦牛頸肉｜牛脂｜水菜沙律｜乾蔥醬 | 煙燻鰻魚 | 黑松露醬A small piece of toast was topped by a piece of super crispy croquette with super smooth lava fat flowing out. It was topped by some mizuna salad and a server shaved some fresh black truffle slices on top. Texture wise it was perfect. Flavour wise the shallot compote was a bit strong. ORHAMACHI AND SCALLOP CRUDOJalapeños | yuzu油甘魚帶子刺身墨西哥辣椒｜柚子Hamachi and scallop sashimi slices were placed nicely alternatively with yuzu and spicy Jalapeños in between. Some flower petals were added on top. The sashimi were very smooth. Flavour was light and appetising. This dish looked very nice.ORSOUPSPlease choose one from our selectionFrench Onion Soup | Bouillabaisse | Cream of Mushroom法式洋蔥湯 | 海鮮湯 | 白菌忌廉湯MAINSBLACK CODsmoked eel mousseline | spinach | sea vegetables銀鱈魚煙燻鰻魚慕絲｜菠菜｜海藻蔬菜ORBELCRISP BBQgreen asparagus | crispy ketchup | mousseline脆皮豬腩肉青蘆筍｜脆皮番茄醬｜慕絲A big piece of pork belly was served with crispy skin. It was quite salty and the saltiness was balanced slightly by the crispy ketchup sauce, but it was still salty. It was accompanied by four fresh asparagus. Overall I found this dish too salty. ORROASTED U.S. BEEF SIRLOINasparagus | crispy onion慢燒美國西冷蘆筍 | 香脆洋蔥Portion was big. We asked for medium rare but it was slightly overcooked. Although there was no sauce just some spices, it was not too dry. It was tender and juicy. It was accompanied by a fresh asparagus and sweet carrot mash. PORNSTAR MARTINI 雞尾酒almond crumble | pineapple tartare | mint julep granite杏仁金寶｜菠蘿他他｜薄荷朱利酒冰沙There was only one dessert. Dessert was served like a cocktail glass. From top to bottom, it was mint julep granite, followed by pineapple tartare in the middle and bottomed by almond crumble. It smelt very good of pineapple! Texture-wise it was perfect because there were different layers and we could even eat some super crispy chocolate thin slices in between. The sweet & sour flavour balanced nicely with the chocolate crisps, and the flavour overall was very refreshing! Overall, it was a very outstanding dessert!Iced chocolates We both ordered iced chocolates with skimmed milk. It was not too sweet.Petite fours were four Dutch shoes made of white chocolate coats with honey and tea jelly fillings respectively. It looked super nice with green grass crumbles. Flavour wise only soso. But crumble base tasted better haha.In general, food was nice and we were both very full afterwards. Environment was very decent with high ceilings, bright and large windows overlooking tall buildings. There were lots of flowers inside. Tables were not so close to each other. We were seated at a corner and it was super private and quiet. Service was quite good. We had a great time here.…查看更多
