LE PORT PARFUME

'Value-for-Money' has gathered steam as the mantra for foodies who are always on the hunt for such eateries. Tucked away on Kau U Fong off Central Le Port can comfortably fit that description. Between lunch and dinner my choice is lunch as one gets that distinct feeling of 'taking a break' in part because of the surroundings. The 4 quick words that come to mind are; quality, consistency, value and service ... what more is there to ask, really.

Set lunches are at $138 for 2 courses and $158 if you like dessert. In addition to the more mundane salads there is always a 'special' for an additional $30 and today it was Clams ls Plancha, an excellent recipe for the classic preparation of mussels, replaced by very sweet clams in this instance. For the main there are Poussin ($30 extra) and Rib-eye ($60 extra) but one can have a Pasta or Fish at the set price. I do not have a single sweet tooth but I find their Floating Island with foamy feather weight egg white irresistible. Do not forget the Blue Cheese Gelato either.

Check out the Drinks List especially their beer collection, notably from Japan and America. Dirty Bastard is a stout from a brewery in Michigan, it is beautifully light and tasty.
