於11月27 日，為美國的感恩節。當天，美國人會相約親朋好友於家中，一同品嘗豐盛大餐 。踏入十一月，The Salted Pig 特別推出美國主題菜單，包羅一系列經典頭盤、主菜及甜點，佐以美國佳釀，讓大家感受節日的熱鬧氣氛。
頭盤「免治豬肉火雞肉丸」（$128），免治豬肉、火雞肉與菲達芝士、麵包糠、辣椒片和多款香料混合等，搓成肉丸後煎香，頂層再淋上芝士醬，口感香嫩彈牙，配以酸種多士和紅莓醬品嘗，倍添開胃。天氣轉涼，最適合品嘗熱湯暖暖胃。創自 1893年的 Bookbinder’s soup，於美國多間餐廳甚為流行，早期會以大鱷龜作配料，後期則改以紅鯛魚。今次菜單可品嘗到這款著名的「紅鯛魚湯」（$98），將洋蔥、甘筍和芹菜等炒香，再加入番茄湯、月桂葉、芫荽和百里香等帶出香味，最後加上煎紅鯛魚，味道鮮甜濃郁，風味十足。
主菜「煙燻雞肉鮮蝦雜錦飯」（$218），雜錦飯（Jambalaya）為新奧爾良地道菜式，源自西班牙海鮮飯，選以煙燻雞肉、蝦、豬肉腸和秋葵，與百里香、洋蔥、辣椒片、紅椒粉和cajun 粉等一同炒香，後加入番茄湯、雞湯、番紅花米飯、車厘茄和粟米等烹調，吃時滲出香料辣勁，濃郁惹味，米飯則吸收了湯汁精華，夾雜番茄酸香，啖啖滿載滋味。另一道「BBQ Pork Sloppy Joe」（$198），改良自美國經典漢堡包「Sloppy Joe」，將芝士通心粉壓成漢堡扒形狀，再裹上麵包糠炸至金黃，外脆內軟，濃濃的芝士香，加上煙肉、手撕燒烤豬肉、牛油生菜和燒烤醬等餡料，份外滿足。吃至尾聲，有香甜的「蜜桃餡餅」（$58）作結，外脆內軟的餡餅內包以蜜桃果肉，味道芳香，伴以雲呢嗱雪糕，一冷一熱，口感非常豐富。
除美食以外，餐廳亦為客人帶來數款啤酒、葡萄酒及雞尾酒，如「Firecracker」（$78），以伏特加和 blue curacao藍柑橘酒作基調，加入檸檬汁和石榴糖漿調成，酸甜清新，非常容易入口，加上紅藍漸變色襯托，份外艷麗搶眼。另有兩款美國加州佳釀，包括白酒 Cloud Break Sauvignon Blanc（$358/瓶），帶蜜瓜、桃和梨三種清新果香，香氣誘人，充滿熱帶水果風味；紅酒Cloud Break Merlot（$358/瓶），酒體順滑柔和，帶成熟布冧、黑莓和櫻桃香氣，口感甜美飽滿。
For the next stop on our Pork By Region Tour, we head straight into the heart of this holiday season’s festivities with some of America’s classic favourites and Thanksgiving-themed creations.
To get your taste buds tingling and appetite ready, we begin with a cheese lover’s delight – enter our Minced Pork & Turkey Meatballs ($128) served with a velvety cheese fondue, toast and cranberry sauce. Next up is our Chopped Salad ($118) with tomato wedges, sliced cucumber, grilled BBQ corn, savoury bacon, smoked chicken and cheese in a tortilla chip basket, topped with a creamy Caesar dressing. For a taste of the ocean and to warm up your stomach, try our Bookbinders Red Snapper soup ($98) dipped with toasted sourdough bread.
We kick off our mains with something for those who don’t mind getting a little messy: our BBQ Pork Sloppy Joe ($198), a deep-fried bacon mac & cheeseburger, bursting with flavour and enjoyed with a piquant cabbage slaw. We head south next with the Jambalaya ($218), a classic Louisiana dish of seafood rice, pork sausage, scallions, okra and smoked chicken. Nothing says classic American better than a Chicken Fried Steak ($218), featuring a deep-fried breaded rib-eye steak accompanied by mashed potatoes, beans, corn and luscious white gravy.
Make some space for our delectable desserts and indulge in our fragrant Peach Cobbler ($58) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or reminisce over your childhood memories with our sticky Banoffee Pie ($58), showcasing banana and salted caramel on a digestive biscuit base, drizzled with coffee cream.
Pair any of our dishes with our Firecracker ($78), blending vodka and blue curacao with lemon juice and grenadine, a cocktail ideal for the holiday season, or down an icy-cold Anchor Steam Craft Beer ($78) from San Francisco. Wine lovers can celebrate with the Cloud Break Sauvignon Blanc ($358) with its lively flavours of honeydew melon, juicy peach and ripe pear, or the silky-smooth Red Cloud Break Merlot ($358), with its well-balanced notes of plum, blackberry and cherry.
