This is not the first time we visited this little french restaurant in Sai Kung , Ive been missing the food they do for nearly a month and im really glad that we came here again tonight
So, this is friday night and we tried to make the reservation at 8 but Raymond the owner asked for if 8:30pm would be ok as it will be busy untill then which was fine for us , when we arrived , the restaurant was full except that they've left a table for us
In such horible weather in HK , once we sat down and we cant wait to order a beer , the waitress asked us if we want to try the french beer from the city Lille , yea sure ! why not? the flower favor is quite strong , the taste is a bit like Hoegarden , not impressive but not bad at all
Beer is not bad but it is not why we are here so we asked for Raymon's recommendation , we dont really like the Sauvigon Blanc from NZ but the french one is totally different , its dry but fruity , subtle & nature in favor.
Obviously the menu has been updated , not a big change but the starter - quail that i was hoping to order since last time has become the main course now which is quite disappointing , anyway , the scallop cooked with white wine caught my eye !
Here we go , scallops look bigger size than i thought , it came with asparagus and creamy sauce , no overcooked, sweet , soft and firm , however , the creamy sauce was a bit too sweet for me but not for my bf
from the side u can tell its quite thick as well
And so , for the main course , we both ordered the 300g sirlorin steak , my bf ordered medium well and mine was medium rare , the outlook was perfect but the only bad thing is mine was ready before his so it wasnt as hot as his and the top was a bit dry as well , anyway...
after cutting the first slice and i found it stunning , u can see its still quite juicy insdie and the meat was pink which just the way i want them to cook , after a bite , u can tell the quality of the beef is not bad , the meat was tender . the herb butter adds favor as well.
There is no way to have steak without dirnking red wine , Raymond's recommendation again , full body , meaty and lots of favor
french cheese platter , well , it looks pretty good but im not a fan of cheese , only had a small bite of each , doesnt taste like anything for me except stinky but my bf loves it , the price is very resonable as well , only HKD 120 for such decent selection
for the dessert , as part of the set menu , about 5 , 6 options but there was a mystery dessert that u have to pay extra $ 50 for it , well , I was being a bit cheeky , asked the waitress for some hints about the mystery thing and she said one is macaron and the other one is a secret , Ive tried quite a lot of big brands of macaron , even had it in France but still ... cant change my opinion about it - just lots of sugar so i asked for the other one.
Wow , i was surprised with what i saw, starting from the left , was a house made lemon tart ( i really apperciated seeing this one cox it was advertisied on the blackbroad as a chef"s recommendation and Im always excitied by ' HOUSE MADE ' stuff ).
The dessert was stunning !! On the left was lemon tart ,the lemon favor is not too strong but refreshing ; to its right was vanilla ice-cream , molten chocolate cake which was nice and finally, an excellent lemon sorbet which i thought was tiramisu becox it was covered in coco powder ! If I had known it's a sorbet , I would've eaten it first
Raymond gave us a nice shot of rum after the meal
Would definitely come back again soon !
