FINDS Restaurant & Bar 評價 相片

This is a compilation of several visits, and I was initially going to just post it as a pictorial, but decided to write a little something, for FINDS is being relocated to the Luxe Manor in TST very soon!Bread Basket – Reasonably good baguette, the other, which was a homemade brown bread sweetened with raisins had a really weird burnt taste which none of my friends appreciated. Salmon Skewers($38/1) – Considering the size of these skewers, $38 is definitely not cheap, but they were grilled so well – the brown marks gave for a crispy texture from the Maillard reaction. The orange sauce is a thousand island sauce, and the other (yellowgreen) is a lemonsomething sauce which none of us were fans of. 7.5/10Zucchini Skewers ($28/2) were not bad on my first visit, but on the second the skin was bitter – this often happens when the skin is not scrubbed well enough before grilling, or if the zucchini was bruised/bad. The sauces were pesto and salsa for this one. 6/10Salmon and Shrimp Balls ($88) is from their ‘Scapas’ menu – it doesn’t have a very attractive name, but I can assure you these are a mustorder especially if you just want nibbles! The ‘balls’ were essentially minced shrimp and salmon paste coated in a very thin breadcrumb layer and deep fried. The ingredients were very fresh, and the outside was crunchy. I liked them plain, but there’s a thousand island sauce accompanying them which was also tasty. 9/10Smoked Salmon Salad ($98) was a generous portion (they have an even larger one as ‘main’ for almost double the price but we were here to taste!), and the smoked salmon is housesmoked, very different from the gravlax (semitranslucent smoked salmon) I usually come across. I think it should be called ‘crumbled salmon’ to be less confusing, as it was fully cooked. Anyway, the mix of greens (mesclun, purple cabbage) were fresh, and the creamy dressing (a Swedish mustarddill sauce) was tasty, and they didn’t overdress the greens in any way. 8/10Asparagus and morels risotto ($168) is the only vegetarian dish on the menu, and arrives as a stunning plate of food. The menu description mentions a ‘trufflepoached egg’, but ours (on two occasions) was just a simple poached egg without any taste or scent of truffles – it was perfectly poached and definitely even better when broken on top of the rice. Surrounding the risotto and poached egg are white and green asparagus with some panfried wild morels in a light shallot confit vinaigrette with pink peppercorns. Peppercorns would’ve been better if they were ground rather than whole or half pieces, but peppercorns aside, the whole dish was really tasty although incredibly filling! No sides and no appetizer or dessert needed if you want to finish this one! The risotto was cooked to a soft –toal dente texture, so a bit less time on the stove would’ve been better for me, but then again my dining partner thought it was the right texture. One of the better risottos I’ve had, the rice was seasoned very well and there was a hint of butter which didn’t overwhelm the dish either – would recommend this! 8/10Blackened Sea Bass ($218) was another main I ordered. It is cooked by panfrying it in really hot oil to achieve a crispy (black) skin, and the other side is more gently panfried till it is done. On the plate was a cauliflower puree and some roasted fava beans and cauliflower. The sea bass fillet was very well cooked, and was moist and soft, reminding me of a rosemary grilled sea bass I had at Dot Cod… The seasoning on this fish could have been more balanced as the skin had parts that were really salty and other parts which were quite bland. Also, the plate could have used more sauce (‘Vierge’) as I couldn’t really identify the taste of it and my sea bass needed some seasoning! 6.5/10Dessert Trio ($98) – was disappointing for me. On the plate was their DAIM parfait brownie, a small square of Baileys cheesecake and a slice of a lemon tart with a red berry sauce. The Baileys cheesecake had a strong taste of Baileys, definitely true to the name, but I thought the texture of the cheesecake was way too dense and could be slightly lighter and creamier. The lemon tart with stewed rhubarb had a soggy base, but base aside, eaten with the berry sauce on the side gave a nice tart and sweet flavour. The DAIM parfait was a tiny piece of brownielike cookie with some mousse, caramel, chocolate and a nougat which definitely tasted like a DAIM candy but could’ve improved in terms of appearance and textures – the mousse was almost liquid and the cookie didn’t taste chewy/soft or crunchy/hard….weird for me. Nonetheless I also think this dessert trio platter was a worsened version than say, ordering one dessert which would’ve been served as a whole dessert therefore could’ve taste more ‘fresh’. 5/10All in all a reasonably good experience! =) For more photos, visit: http://gastronomerr.blogspot.com/2010/09/findsscandinaviancuisine.html

Ordered:EARL GREY TEA MARTINI($110 + 10%):Finlandia Vodka, Cucumber, Lemon Lime, Elderflower, Apple Juice and Earl Grey Tea Foam and Pearls.FINDS has been doing molecular cocktails for a while now, before other shops such as Mira's Lounge, Shangrila's Tapas Bar, SOHO 8, etc, started to follow suit. Although 'Traditionalists' always seem to reject anything to do with 分子料理, it is often because there are misunderstandings of their broad definition and what it can comprise of, especially with regards to Food Science...When it comes to Molecular Drinks however, it is true that they often only borrow the Molecular Food's playful techniques and then try to charge you more for it, whether it works or not ! The base drink was okgood in fact, and using some exotic ingredients to justify its high price tag of $110.This drink's Earl Grey foam on top didn't even had the Bergamot or Tea aroma...the sodium alginate pearls made with earl grey tea, also lacked the advertised tea flavour, also being too solid rather than popping in the mouth like 'caviar's... I suspect they've been made for too long before serving as it had solidified, as the WHOLEPOINT of doing Molecular Ravioli or Pearls, is so that underneath the 'skin layer', they retain the original flavour inside as liquid.Here it failed to achieve this. Perhaps a Reverse Calcium Chloride/Sodium Alginate method might help, as they don't turn from runny to solid as easily.*********FINDS IS BEING RELOCATED PRETTY SOON.

Went to Finds on Nov 4 with 3 friends, this is my second time to this restaurant, this time is kinda disappointing, the steak that I had was very much over cooked, all I wanted was medium rare, the soup was also not too warm when it came out from the kitchen. It was the same for my friend's steak. Don't Know what happened to their kitchen. 2 months ago was alot better. the restaurant is comfortable and nice, but this time the food is really soso, hope they will improve thrie standard soon...., well, I will give them one more chance.

以為 Friday Night 呢度無 book 會無位，但好彩都有 bar table 坐住先見到 d bar tender 不停調酒，仲勁流汗！order 了 Apple Sake green apple, sake, apple schnapps, lime juice, vodka 味道第一淡覺得佢溝得難飲，之後就係無味，個 green apple 佢切到細細粒，但就吸晒淨酒精的味道，唔建議食埋佢個 DJ 播到 d 音樂大聲到，完全係聽唔到人講野，又 order 唔到，大家叫到聲沙，無乜心情黎多 round...d prices 係 reasonable 囉裝飾幾靚既，見到有人竟然係度食 dinner....

同bf去左食...呢間餐廳真係好好味.特別推介佢地個blue mussel...個sauce超好味...
