DINING DELIGHT
While chef director Chris Woodyard doesn't want Madam Sixty Ate classified as a fine dining restaurant, it does present gourmet dishes at a price.
We started with baby vegetables spiced in their own juices that decorated the edge of the wide-rimmed bowl with Manchego cream (HK$110). We also enjoyed the home-made pate (HK$100). It was chunky, full of flavour, but lacked a smooth finish.
Next came two deconstructed soups. The minestrone (HK$90) featured an open onion lasagne that was more like a dumpling with baby vegetables and tomatoes in a clear broth. The other was a white-coloured gazpacho (HK$75) with diced scallop tartare with Spanish almond and peas. For mains the poached halibut (HK$300) was cooked perfectly and we also liked the fesenjan pigeon breast (above, HK$320).
Desserts such as honey parfait dusted in salted caramel honeycomb popcorn and chocolate mousse (HK$85) or the star anise and tequila jelly mango cr?me br?l?e (HK$80) will tempt. BC
