Garlic Christmas
2017-01-08  647 瀏覽
Mad for Garlic is a garlic themed restaurant where every dish has garlic in it, even the desserts has garlic as well, franchised from Seoul, Korea.

I don't normally eat in Korean eateries because everything has kimchi but some dishes at Mad for garlic doesn't.

Comparing the decor, the Hong Kong restaurant is too bright and not goth enough because Hongkongers are a bit scared of the dark side.

The Christmas tree was good because they had garlic bulbs as baubles

What I didn't like was that I had to sit in the middle of the restaurant at 5:45 when there were no customers, perhaps they wanted to make the restaurant look busy! On the last visit, they were collecting the plates when you hadn't finished.

Ordered the garlic tower, gorgonzola pizza and steak saam,

++++++++++++++

garlic tower:


Guaranteed a garlic breath after eating this but they should label this as spicy because they put chili in it.

++++++++++++++

gorgonzola pizza:


It was good that they serve the honey garlic sauce separately.

The gorgonzola was yummy as expected with a strong pungent salty taste but the rest of the cheese on the pizza didn't have much taste.

++++++++++++++

Steak saam:
The English says naan but the naan looks like a Calzone.



Anyway, the steak was good, it was juicy and tender, again with a strong creamy garlic sauce that will give you a lovely garlic breath.

Calzone!!

++++++++++++++

The pickles were strangely served last!

As you enter The Place, you will be greeted by a vintage red telephone booth and a miniature London Eye as they are doing The Britannia Buffet from now until March!!!

I went here especially for the Yorkshire pudding because my favourite place for roast in Wanchai has closed.

Some items are on different nights so it is best to call and check to avoid disappointment.

Roasted rib eye is available from Sundays to Thurs while the Beef Wellington is available on Fridays and Saturdays, both served with Yorkshire pudding and homemade gravy, Guinness beef stew, Shepherds pie, scotch eggs and Toad in a hole.

As a Brit, I was more focused on the items above but they do have seafood for HKers such as the North Atlantic lobster baked with English cheddar, fish and chips, whole salmon with salt crust and Tri-coloured salmon.

In the desserts section, they had Spotted dick and Eton's mess

Here was all the yummy stuff I had but my favourites had to be the crisp and light Yorkshire pudding drowned in gravy, Shepherds pie and Scotch eggs.

Yorshire pudding:

(I had about 3-4 that night!)

Shepherds pie and scotch egg:

The toad in a hole is a bit different because the appearance and the sausage is not quite the same as the one in UK but they probably sliced the sausages as it is easier to serve in a buffet.

For desserts there was spotted dick but looking slightly different as they used red berries.

Eton's mess!!

Anyway, I will be coming back very soon!!!

Since my last visit, this place has been recommended by Michelin and there are some new items.To be honest, I had this at Christmas hence the Christmas decorations.
I had the new Custard puffs which were crispy and light filled with creamy vanilla custard in the middle.
I also had my favourite chougettes which are really delicious light puffs with crispy meringues bits stuck to it.

Now, they have a savoury version called gougeres which are a must for me because I love cheese.
Gougeres are baked savory choux pastry made of choux dough mixed with cheese.
