Brunch @ Madam Sixty Ate

入到十月,是C的生日月份,代表會有很多餐生日飯要吃了。有名氣的餐廳去過很多,但當CD族要去C期待已久的Madam Sixty Ate吃午餐時還是興奮無比!這趟Madam Sixty Ate之旅猶如置身愛麗絲的仙境或童話世界的糖果屋內,雖然菜式很簡單,但真的全都很奇妙又自成一格,別樹一織,成為芸芸高級餐廳中最印象深刻,是我們近來最欣賞的餐廳之一,特別適合愛奇特趣怪的朋友。餐廳是以一堆圍繞著這個女仕發生的奇異事情故事為主題,而它的食物就以古靈精怪的賣相見稱,用料很特別,又能把烹飪與藝術煮出新境界,菜式份量不大,價錢午餐大概每位$200-$300

October is C's birthday month, thus, meaning there will be lots and lots of birthday meals coming up for us.  We have been to many high-class popular restaurants, but we still couldn't help but feel very excited when we visited C's long-awaited Madam Sixty Ate! What made it so special? 




Some restaurants are so quirky and fun that they are so deeply affecting as you are eating. Madam Sixty Ate is one of those restaurants. Located on Ship Street in Wan chai, Madam Sixty Ate does not have a big venue,  but the decor is anything but ordinary, filled with surrealistic paintings of animals, exuding both weird and modern sense of coziness as we immediately felt like we were in someone's living room, dining room and kitchen.  



The theme of the restaurant is based on the fantastic events surrounding a heroine, Madam Sixty Ate, and the dishes were inspiration of those fictional events happening to her. The food here was known for its strange and variable appearance. Chris Woodyard, Chef Director of the restaurant succeeds in expanding the artistic, or artsy, vocabulary of culinary, to explore both wonder and the food that makes wonder possible.  The portion of each dish is not big, weekend brunch is about $200 to $300 per head. 



(1) Each meal came with a complimentary loaf of bread and it was quite huge and full of fragrance with olives hidden in it. Even it did take a long time for the bread to come, it was very satisfying because you could still feel the leftover warmth fresh from the oven steaming from the bread.



(2) For the Eggs Benedict with Crunchy Hollandaise ($110), there's a choice of Cured Salmon, Pork Belly or Spinach. We chose to go with the Cured Salmon. Once we saw the dish, the first thing that came to our hungry minds was "Is this enough?"  But it proved to be remarkable because it was both a fantastic spectacle and an exquisite joyful taste. Not only were the poached eggs nicely cooked, the muffin was sweet like pancakes, which served perfectly with the cured salmon and hollandaise sauce. This attractive dish just made our hearts sing loudly!



(3) Another wonderful dish coming right from was the Pancakes with honeycomb, coffee cream and hot butterscotch sauce ($100). The beautiful taste of the smooth coffee cream, combined with the thick butterscotch sauce-soaked pancakes was just a match made in heaven, or at least the heavens. It captured the essence of pancakes and achieved such a "sweet" dish!

Overall remarks: A visit to Madam Sixty Ate felt like a journey to Alice's Wonderland or  Candy House in fairy tales.  Although its dishes were simple,  each of them was truly quirky and fantastic, and at the same time it offered something wondrous and imaginative, comforting and intimate, the kind of restaurant that made you feel connected to it and left both of us impressed.  Among so many expensive restaurants, Madam Sixty Ate really stood out to be different and fun, sending us to a mouthwatering and dazzling neverland, if such a thing is possible.
