Formidable! il'ya un Fleur de Sel en Central

I love French Crepes and there was a good one called Le Kramphouse but it closed down.

Anyway I have previously tried their crepes at the Causeway Bay branch which was delicious and they are the only crepe place that I know so far that serves the duck crepe but I prefer dining in Central and this restaurant is on street level, however on a slope so you need to walk up there!

Tried two crepes, a savoury one and a sweet one.

San Pellegrino Sparkling Juice - Bloody orange:

 

I really liked the taste of this and the orange colour matched their colour theme too.
It tasted like non alcoholic cocktail punches and it was not sour.

La Poire:

 

 

This was caramelized pears with lavender, creme brulee ice cream and chocolate sauce.
You could visually see the lavender buds too.
I do not like lavender but with the pear it tasted surprisingly nice. I suspect the ice-cream was Haagan Daz's creme brulee ice-cream.

La Pissaladiere:

 

 

This was caramelized onions, anchovies, black olives and fresh tomatoes (cherry tomatoes).
It was good because the crepe base was not burnt, it was crispy and slightly soft in the middle.
The cheese was grated really finely and parts where it melted made the crepe nice and savoury.
Overall I really liked the pizza ingredients on the crepe but without the tomato sauce.

Photos of the restaurant :
I prefer the Central branch, although it is cosy, it is not as cramped as the Causeway Bay branch.
I liked the way they have matched the orange and black and white colour theme in the restaurant.

Delicious Apple and BBQ pork turnover @ DDSSS

I came here purely for the BBQ pork puffs which had apple in it.
I thought this was a good pairing because Western roast pork is served with apple sauce.

When I sat down, I saw that this place was recommended by TIMEOUT and NEWSWEEK both Western publications so if two Western publications recommend restaurant this then the food here should taste as good as the Dim Sums in UK.

 

In the end, I liked it because the items were not too sweet or oily which was different from One Dim Sum which was also recommended but by Michelin.
I am not sure how Michelin rates the restaurants in Hong Kong and if the people who try the foods are local people or Westerners because Westerners and locals have different requirements and tastes.

Anyway I only ordered three items including the Summer combo because I already had dinner.

 

 

In general the menu range is quite good and innovative.

Apple and BBQ pork turnover:

 

 

I did not like the pastry because it was the typical extremely buttery and heavy type of pastry.
However the filling was really nice, there was lots of stewed soft apples inside, but if it tasted tart as well then it would have been perfect.
The shape of these puffs look like the Western apple turnovers so visually they were quite cute because they were quite small.

3.6 Hokkaido Milk pudding with strawberry sauce:

 

The sweetness was just right and the pudding texture was really light.
The milk taste was not that strong.

Honey comb pudding:

 

 

 

It is not literally a honeycomb but I guess they named it a honeycomb because of its structure.
I wanted to try this and I thought I was not going to finish the rest due to its sweetness but it was so nice I finished the lot.
It was delicioius eating it hot too because the black sugar taste was really prominent. and its texture is really moist and different to cakes. It has a structure similar to a crumpet but the capillaries are much finer!
The texture is not exactly like a cake and not exactly like a steamed cake but springy.
Anyway this was my favourite item and it also tasted like an American Pancake but the taste was much stronger but not too sweet!

Restaurant interior:

 

There was a toilet as well which was reasonable clean.
