At The Salted Pig, Hong Kong’s favourite purveyor of pork-centric comfort cuisine, every day is a tribute to delicious pork in all its glory! However, May is a particularly special time as our popular monthly “Pork by Region” world tour arrives triumphantly in France, the birthplace of modern gastronomy, a world-class hub of incredible pork-based dishes and a country so celebrated for its food that it has its own international culinary festival, Le French GourMay!
You’ll delight in some of the all-time greats in May at The Salted Pig as we pay tribute with our classic French May a la carte specials! From the starters section, the Pork Rillettes with Mixed Pickles and Sourdough Toast ($128) is pure farmhouse delight, enticing the appetite with a balanced profile of tart pickles, robust pork flavour and crispy sourdough bringing it all together. The Lyonnaise Salad ($118) combines fresh frizze lettuce with crispy pork lardons, a soft poached egg and mustard dressing that sets the scene beautifully. Or, enjoy the French Onion Soup ($88) served with gruyere crouton, a dish so revered that it deserves its own chapter in any cookbook.
For your French-inspired main course, we’re pleased to serve the incredibly comforting Confit Pork Belly, White Bean, Bacon & Spicy Sausage Cassoulet ($238), a charmingly rustic dish of satisfaction served with apple jus. You can also enjoy a fork-tender Crispy Pork Knuckle ($298) with French beans, roast potatoes and caramelised onion Lyonnaise, finished with a creamy and mushroom-rich diane sauce. Always catering for varied tastes and preferences, our non-pork main courses include either the Sole Fillet Meuniere ($228) with brown butter, capers, lemon and herbs served with a side of French beans, or the hugely enjoyable Chicken Cordon Bleu ($198) with Provencal vegetables, garlic broccoli and lemon.
Dessert is a choice between a pair of iconic dishes with either the zesty Tarte au Citron ($58) a slice of pure lemon goodness served with vanilla meringue, or the all-time favourite Crème Brulee ($58) with fresh berries and shortbread.
The ongoing Pork by Region tour continues in May as we pack our bags and head for France! Come and visit us at The Salted Pig as we shine a spotlight on France, a true culinary superpower and purveyors of some of the best pork dishes ever seen!
