SML at Times Square

After going to a primary schools seminar, we were so hungry. It was 1:25PM when we got out. We flagged a taxi to head out to Times Square. And it was still a lunch rush at 2PM. This is Hong Kong! We settled for SML.

My hubby and I both had the set menu for HKD 88.00 with starter, main course and dessert. I can say that my niçoise salad was a joke of minimalist, I was just glad that the main course was a full bowl of lamb curry cause I was really starving by the time the dishes came out. It was really good or I was super hungry I don't really care for what I ate and what I tasted. The spice was just enough for me. Not overly spicy that I had to constantly get my glass of water refilled by the minute.

Lamb curry is so so.

My hubby got the soup which was puree potato. He didn't really like it. So hence our non photo of the starter.

Apple crumble and in the background mango Pavlova.

For dessert, I ordered the apple crumble with vanilla custard and hubby ordered the mango pavlova. My bowl of warm apple crumble was just right in the amount of sugar level without getting my teeth chatter with soreness. On the other hand the pavlova was beyond sweet tooth for anyone. It is basically a meringue with a crisp crust and with mango syrup drizzled on top. And this dessert has some interesting history behind it as it is named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova during her visit to New Zealand in the 1926 on her world tour. A hotel chef in Wellington, New Zealand created this dish. And of course there was a clouded argument whether the dish originate from Australia prior to 1926.
