It was the first year that I participated in the Hong Kong Restaurant Week. Having tried two participanting restuarants during the Restaurant Week, I decided to try this one as part of the Extended Restaurant Week (as it was voted as the Most Popular). I chose this place partly because of the name - Sal Curioso (spanish for curious?) and partly becuase of the cuisines it serves - South American + Spanish (was curious what food they would serve).The interesting entrance led to an open kitchen
I chose this place partly because of the name - Sal Curioso (spanish for curious?) and partly becuase of the cuisines it serves - South American + Spanish (was curious what food they would serve).
The interesting entrance led to an open kitchen where you see all the staff busy with preparing dishes.
We chose various Tapas to share. The Squid Pop and Black (Mexico) came with squid, mussels and popcorn. The seafood was fresh and the popcorn was lightly spiced to bring in an interesting addition to the dish. Another dish served in a hotpan was the Albondigas (Spain) - lamb meatballs on chickpeas. The meatball was tender and tasty, and balanced well with the chickpeas and the sauce. The Sherry Marinated Tomatoes (Sal's Mum) was a simple tomato salad dish with refreshing flavour (served with mozarella cheese and herbs).
The Clam La Olla (Venezuela) was a supposed to be a hot pot of clams, chorizo sausage and white beans. But it was served in a small plate and while the clams were fresh and juicy I found the white beans too bland and overwheming. And I don't remember tasting any sausage.
The Nacho's Sal Style (Mexico) stood out when I read the menu, but it turned out to be a disappointment. The corn crackers were not crunchy at all. The avocado mousse and cheese sauce and the salsa sacuse all tatsted possessed rather than freshly made.
The Brandara Croquettes (Spain) was a ordinary and not particularly memorbable dish. The presentation was good though.
The Braised Duck (Peru) was interestly served in a jar with a pieace of potato bread on top. It came with a small spoon for you to scoop out the duck leg, which was perfectly cooked with a citrus based sauce. Another creative and yummy dish!
For dessert I picked the My Mexcian Cheesecake (Mexico) and was very happy with my choice. It ws a white chococlate chesecake with guava parfait, oragne and lime meringue. It looked and tasted great!
題外話/補充資料：
Was surprised and disappointed to find out that the restaurant is now closed. Hope they can reopen some time as Hong Kong lacks interesting places like this where you can taste a variety of food from different South American countries served in creative ways.
