It was a girls night out. We need a cozy place where we can comfortably chit chat (and gossip) all night long with nice food and drinks. My girls and I love trying out private kitchens, especially when we need to look for suitable venue for our next private party.
BlueDuck Workshop has been around the private kitchen scene for a while and they do have a solid base of supporters. Its location actually couldn’t be more convenient- it’s right in an old building behind the camera appliances shop on Stanley Street.
The place is cozy which sits around 20, their tables can be easily adjusted to fit different group size, they also have beaded curtains to separate tables for privacy – no wonder we saw two TVB artists the night we went!
They have around 4-5 choices for each of appetizer and main course, menu changes regularly.
We were first served with Goose Liver Pate and Meat Rillettes and their homemade Focaccia. We were already asking for re-fill of bread even before the first dish!
Then came their signature dish – Black Truffle Eggs! We LOVE LOVE LOVE this dish. It looked so simple but it was so good that we asked for more bread so that we could finish dipping the sauce.
I chose Crab Meat Pudding for appetizer. Generous portion of crab meat on top of a layer of orzo. Baked with cheese on top. Winning combination indeed. Soup of the today was Tomato Cream Soup. Comfort food!
I had Market Fish of the Day (Snapper) for main. Served with squid ink pasta in a light cream sauce. You would see from the picture that I actually couldn’t wait to dig in. For desserts we had the simple Chocolate Fondant with Vanilla Ice Cream.
The dishes may look nothing fancy, but BlueDuck Workshop definitely proved that simple dishes are the best dishes – we were extra amazed as there was only ONE chef doing all the dishes and everything tasted brilliant.
More importantly, this full-course dinner only costs $380 per head, which was crazily good value for money in the heart of Central. They do have their stock of house wine at around $360 per bottle, or you may bring your own for the corkage of $100 every two bottles. Great deal for big groups.
We are definitely holding our next private party at BlueDuck, wanna join us?
