My House (已結業)

As a pretty health-conscious foodie, I have included My House on my to-visit list for quite a while. I'm so glad that I finally got to visit after missing their Restaurant Week promotion a few months ago --- their set lunch deserves  two thumbs up!! Ingredients were fresh, food was delicious and carefully prepared, seasoning was on point, and services were great. For the price of HK$138 for 2 courses and $168 for 3 courses (coffee / tea included for both), the quality and portion exceeded my expectation. I'd say without hesitation that it is really good value for money.As far as I remember, the choices for starters were <Soup of the day>, <Marinated and Roasted Vegetables> and <Beetroot Salad>. Choices for mains were <Paper baked Red Snapper>, <Pumpkin rotolo> and <Beef bourguignon>. Dessert of the day were <Lemon Cheesecake> and <Pecan Pie>.Both my friend and I went for the same options for starters and main. As soon as we ordered, fresh and warm bread were served. The garlic butter dip looked delicious in a devilish way. As a health-conscious foodie, I was able to holdback, and just had a tiny bit for tasting- it was nice and creamy, but too heavy for my liking. So I had my bread with my starter instead. <Marinated and Roasted Vegetables>As a veggie lover, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of this starter.Each type of veg was flavourfully marinated with a different seasoning, all of which were roasted on point.I particularly liked the carrots, which were sweetly marinated with an apt amount of honey, elevating the natural sweetness from roasting.The fresh cherry tomatoes were lightly seasoned  just right and naturally sweet.Everything matched well with the goat cheese (or was it feta...), and went well with my bread.I'm giving this a 4-star instead of 5-star rating only because the red bell peppers and onions were, although pleasantly tangy, a bit too salty on their own for my liking. Nevertheless, I am not complaining as they went well with my bread. Feeling happy with my cravings for veggies satisfied, I sat back lazily, and carried on the enjoyable catch-up with my friend at our comfy sofa seat.We didn't have to wait long for our mains...<Paper baked Red Snapper>served with giant couscous and leeks.Yumm.... this was so, so good... Considering the price of this set lunch, a 5-star rating for this dish is an understatement!The Red Snapper was steaming hot, fresh and juicy.It was hardly seasoned --- and rightly so, because it was so fresh!As someone who enjoys sashimi very much, I believe that good quality fish doesn't need much seasoning. All that is needed is a dash of salt, pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Voila! The perfect fish --- Simple. Delicate. Tasty. Soaking up the aromatic, sweet and beautifully flavourful juice from the fresh Red Snapper, the leeks and giant couscous  were absolutely delicious too!Services had already been great throughout, and oh, thank you so much for the complimentary side salad!  It was yummy.<Red Cabbage and Fresh Mint Leaves>lightly seasoned with olive oil and topped with an apt amount of finely grated cheese.The mint leaves were so refreshingly sweet as well!Fresh herbs are unbeatable.(Well, in fact everything presented was so fresh and carefully prepared ;) )Since the main was so good, I changed my mind and decided to end the (supposedly healthy) lunch on a sweet note We ordered a <Pecan Pie> for sharing.Nice catch-up, beautiful weather, great food and pretty colours cheer me up- Well, it was definitely my lucky day to be spoiled with all of them!The Walnut Pie was tasty, and went well with the coffee ice cream (think it was coffee).The pie filling was, to my relief, aptly sweet. All too often, pie fillings is overly sweet and does not balance well with the fruity / nutty toppings.I also enjoyed the oaty crust, which gave the pie more texture.Am giving this a 4-star instead of 5-star rating only because I wish there were more pecans  Last but not least, our drinks as included in the set lunch.Coffee was so-so, but I am not complaining as the set lunch was all in all amazing --- It is really good value for money.Considering the portion and quality of food, we were both a bit sorry to see that this lovely restaurant was rather empty during our visit (at around 12:30-2:10 on a Tuesday).I look forward to visiting again and trying different dishes!  继续阅读

呢排经常跟住湾仔嘅好友发掘呢区嘅餐厅！呢间欧洲菜新开，连佢都未试过，上到去门口（观察下环境）睇见装修几舒服，中央一个好大嘅吧枱，座位有低嘅梳化位，又有高嘅高脚枱，因为已经过了午餐高峰期，所以只有一枱女性坐梳化位，问埋外籍店员攞午餐餐牌睇，价钱都ok,佢问我们想坐边，我想向窗，所以拣高脚枱，楼层高向窗好开扬，枱面玻璃下系一个黑胶唱片盘！坐低之后，问外籍店员有无识讲广东话嘅店员，因为餐牌好多袋材都唔认识，只系列出材料！食材餐厅好多都自制，例如香肠！吧枱上亦有好多自家浸制嘅辣椒之类嘅配料！佢揾咗个中国人店员出来，经过佢详细解释啲菜色（好多食材名称都系香港比较少见，好似火箭菜都唔系用香港常用嘅英文字眼）经过好友问清楚，店员亦称可以一个午餐分享！呢个餐牌有啲问题，佢写2个菜$188或3个菜$258，最大问题系per person，令人理解午餐系段人头计钱，后来问清楚系段餐计，最后成功落单，呢类西餐唔好急，唔可以用香港人一般速度去计！免费餐包：餐包外脆，有咬口，入面松软，充满麦味！炸蘑菇饭波波：店员介绍蘑菇加饭再炸，好像薯仔波，面头洒满椰丝，火箭菜芝士沙律：好简单，火箭菜用油醋汁捞咗，火箭菜唔会苦，好鲜嫩！上面放咗几片薄芝士，芝士味道唔浓，反而质地几得意，系弹牙嘅，少许水牛芝士嘅感觉！加上腌过嘅桃肉，微酸爽脆，几开胃！香煎鲈鱼：简单煎过再烩汁，鱼肉嫩滑唔腥，啲汁微辣惹味！下面垫底嘅果仁爽口，好味苹果呍呢嗱青柠汁：苹果及青柠味道清新，加上呍呢嗱味，令味道有层次又唔会腻！正！冻柠檬茶：朋友饮，佢话味道清爽，难得睇住外籍店员在吧枱即冲茶，再用调酒杯加冰冲制！店员有礼有耐性，食物有特色，即叫即做又好味（连饮品嘅茶都系即冲再加冰变冻柠茶）呢度又唔催促，好悠闲，不过见来嘅都系英文人，讲真餐牌真系要有中文先吸引新客，至少令人明白用乜嘢食材同煮法（好像其中一款主菜系慢煮，唔系店员讲都睇唔出）英文词汇又跟外国模式，就算英文好都未必明！以呢个水准，午餐一啲都唔贵！希望可以令多啲人认识北欧菜！ 继续阅读

My House has been opened in the QRE building in Wan Chai for a couple of months serving European influenced using imported ingredients and mostly sustainable seafood sourced from all over the world. The restaurant overlooks the other side of Wan Chai facing mountain with its 180 degree open window stunning view.The bright enviornment was really comforting for a relaxing afternoon over the weekend! Before we arrived, we have already heard a few really good comment about this place in terms of its excellent food, service and natural wine. The place is also well stocked with a lot of black disc and customers may pick their favourite tune and play them with their provided headphones.There are a few jars of chili sauce on the bar table, can you guess what they are for? It was actually the bartender's chili for making Bloody Mary! Le Dilettante free France 2014A natural white wine from France that can go well with any kind of seafood on the menu, literally. The natural wine has no chemical nor any unhealthy substances in it, it is believed that natural wine gave no hangovers!Bluefinatto, Sustainable Raw Tuna with a Tuna and Caper Emulsion ($228)The thinly sliced tuna is submerged in a emulsion that is made from tuna and a bit of acidity from the lemon zest. The fresh tuna was soft with a strong savoury taste to it. It was heavy with high protein content to it, I could see myself ordering this for a great started of a cozy meal with close friends.Grilled Scamorza Wrapped in Serrano Ham with Pedro Ximenez Sherry ($138)Smoked cheese was sautéed and grilled before they got wrapped with aromatic ham around and Sherry wine reduction at the bottom. The smokiness was a great match with the sweetness from the Sherry wine. The smoked cheese was chewy, the ham was crispy. Again, contrasting plays one of funky elements from the restaurant.Octopus, Garlic Lemon Whipped Potato, Chili and Smoked Paprika ($168)The House uses Spanish octopus was also sustainable which delivered a chew texture that has a bite to it. The smoked paprika promoted a prominent smokiness to the seafood dish. Meanwhile, the crispy potato crisp on top contrasted with the smooth refreshing garlic lemon mashed potato at the bottom.The House uses the original taste of each raw sustainable and organic ingredients to match wth each other. Meanwhile, the restaurant also tried to offer a contrasting texture in the bite. The size of the dishes were meant for sharing among friends or families. Overlooking for 180 degrees mountain view, this place makes a great place for any occasions from casual, business, to formal. p.s. the restaurant takes no service charge therefore feel free to tip the staff if you enjoyed the service 继续阅读
