Decided to try The Salted Pig as part of the Festival of Restaurants. They had a set dinner menu which looked pretty tempting.The restaurant space is huge by Hong Kong standards. It was busy and loud, but when I looked around, there were still plenty of available tables.The wait staff were very friendly - attentive but not overbearing, and I was impressed at how the courses were paced.Our starter was Japanese scallops with chorizo and potato and red pepper mash.

The restaurant space is huge by Hong Kong standards. It was busy and loud, but when I looked around, there were still plenty of available tables.
The wait staff were very friendly - attentive but not overbearing, and I was impressed at how the courses were paced.
Our starter was Japanese scallops with chorizo and potato and red pepper mash. There were 3 decent-sized scallops and they were perfectly cooked. I wish there'd been a few more on the plate! The chorizo didn't overpower the scallops either. Each bite was a great combination of flavours and textures.
The main was Spanish pork belly with roasted vegetables, for 2 people to share. There was a mustard sauce on the side, but it really wasn't needed. The pork had so much flavour and melted in your mouth. There were 5 large pieces and there was nearly a fight for the last piece.
For dessert, we had a pistachio mousse and a chocolate orange tart. Both were delicious, but I was still relishing the pork belly!
We also had a pitcher of The Salted Pig draught, so by the end of it all, I definitely felt like a pig.
The regular menu also looked really promising. While pork is obviously the star, there are some other interesting options, including a fish & prawn pie and vegie options.
I liked the feel of the restaurant and found the service excellent. Add that to a hearty, satisfying meal, and you have a winner.
Definitely going back for more.
