Fast Gourmet

What a good morning in Fast Gourmet! Fresh food ingredient, professional sous vide salmon, excellent coffee!!!

Really nice and friendly staff and delicious sous vide food. Plenty of veggie options. Pumpkin superfood risotto was very tasty and the truffle 63C egg spaghetti was superb! Tom yum salmon rice was refreshing. Pictures of dishes I decorated myself.

I’ve hosted a private event at their beautiful venue and hired them as my client celebration’s caterer. Both times Vivienne, Day and the team had gone over and beyond to make sure their food was delicious and we had an unforgettable experience. My guests were wowed by their first bites and increasingly impressed throughout the whole meal till their exquisite desserts. I would highly recommend Fast Gourmet to anyone looking for exceptional catering services and a place to bring friends and families for quality meals.

Fast gourmet – a recently opened sous-vide specialist who I would gladly help crowdfund so that they can retire, for the sake of humanity and all the poor animals and veg tortured by their incompetence. Something I should’ve noticed from the paradoxical name.

Sous-vide iberico pork belly – a literal block of fat with 5% meat. That pig must’ve been soo fat even the slightest movement could’ve caused a bloody earthquake.

Sous-vide salmon with tom yum. Modern tech has made sous-vide so easy that so long as you can turn the dial on the machine as instructed, it easily yield juicy tender meat. Fast gourmet managed to defy the impossible, demonstrating that even with sous-vide, you can have dry and overcooked salmon. Alas. That tom yum soup, they weren’t referring to the Thai dish.

Sous-vide lamb with black truffle mash. The salmon prepped us well for the Saharan dryness of the lamb. But honestly I wasn’t too sure if it was lamb even, given the powdery aftertaste. Powdery was apparently a running theme, as the mashed potato was equally powdery. I guess real potato is in scarcity.

Scallop with tom yum soup and quinoa rice. A patty of rice (like in cha chan tengs) turned up, with only specs of quinoa visible. Upon query, a senior staff rocked up with a fork to scoop up the scant freckles of quinoa hidden in the rice, informing us that we would have known that it’s rice based if we have watched their media advertisement. Impeccable service indeed. At this point, we were just in hysteria. But since we paid for dessert anyway, might as well see what surprise awaits us.

Homemade gelato – white truffle, Indian tea, cheesecake. They were very generous to ave given us a slightly bigger scoop as remedy to our unpleasant experience. I really would’ve preferred they told us it was sold out and gave us a refund. Cheesecake was the highlight of all. The concoction of artificial lemon flavouring and cheese that has gone off, topped with an overdose of cinnamon sent our tastebuds on overdrive. The texture was bizarrely powdery, a texture the chef seems to find pleasant.

Sous-vide blueberry cheesecake. The same artificial lemon flavour was present, assuming it’s the same gone off cheese. The texture was bizarrely buttercream like which they seem to think is cheesecake. This was all coupled with the burnt digestives crumble they sprinkled on top.

If you are reminiscing 明將壽司, Fast gourmet is your western substitute, if not better.

Nice service, comfortable place, food a bit pricey.

Complete disappointment. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich on food panda and got a sad, fat piece of cold bread and a cup of chicken salad with four massive hunks of chicken that I then had to assemble. Not at all as advertised and quite unimpressive.

Horrible tasting menu and worse service. On a Saturday night no less. Who calls them selves a french restaurant and puts sugar in a beef cheek sauce? No duck on the menu either. And buyer beware you are only getting a teaspoon of gelato for that 3rd course.

用心烹調既餐廳的確令人回味

先說說咖啡
Tiramisu Cheesy將Tiramisu與咖啡兩者結合
一層又一層，上層的芝味也不會令整杯味道覺得膩，味道剛剛好
喝的時候猶如在吃Tiramisu
一杯咖啡就可滿足兩個願望

White Charcoal
將牛奶打正濃濃而緊密的泡泡
竹炭既顏色令咖啡的花紋好似雲石那樣，好美
飲的時候軟棉棉，口感非常特別
不需要特別加糖
牛奶的甜味已經足夠

不單只咖啡用心調製，連食物都別具心思去整
好似依碟慢煮西班牙黑毛豬腩
平時食到既西餐好少會似豬腩為食材
佢慢煮後加藜麥糠同麵包糠一齊焗
食既時候無油膩感既感覺，而且仲入口即融
至於自己最鍾意既superfood risotto
佢就用左生熟薏米加藜麥黎代替普通risotto ，入口又有口感又唔會食到好肚漲
整體不論食物同飲品都見到店主與廚師的用心，值得推介~*

Excellent service, super yummy food! 😋 It’s perfect to end with the white truffle ice cream dessert👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 …

Omg truffle ice cream is amazing !

Male staff working at lunchtime with bad attitude,very awful, terriblely ruining my good quality food……

What a disaster service here, on 3 orders: 1 dish was missing although we asked twice to check our order, and one wrong dessert, ask the bill 3 times mentioning we were in rush due to their delay for serving us, still not presenting the bill after 15 minutes, and the food is so so, waste of time and money

流心牛角飽是Fast Gourmey的主家研發，每一款都充滿驚喜。今次試了流心芝麻餡，甜甜地好特別。 當然唔少得就係小店主打的慢煮菜式，每一道都好有心機。

咖啡、食物都好，難得服務非常親切，很友善！

Terrible service by male staff, same level as a cha chaan tang. He told is to speak Chinese, just because we look Asian doesn’t mean we can speak /read the language! Steak was cold when served, tiny portion, food contains flavor enhancer (MSG, very thirsty afterwards). We ordered the iron steak and bacon wrapped lam, it was mediocre taste. Low value, overpriced food. The drinks are OK, best thing was the water. Not recommended.

終於來試這裡的可頌了, 真的很不錯吃欸! 烤的香脆加上滿滿的牛油香, 我幾口就把他消滅了, 吃完還有點意猶未盡呢🙈 推介～!

跟可頌相比另外點的慢煮五花肉吐司就有點失色, 店員的效率也很有待提升. 但流心可頌真的蠻讚 👍🏻

First time here but probably the best restaurant I have ever tried in the soho area! Quite contrary to some of the reviews, I found the portion quite perfect even for a man. A real gem and hidden treasure !!! The Chef / owner is someone who has real passion in food and strive for excellence at all time. I have already made two more reservations in July. (And don’t miss the dessert!!!!)

龍蝦湯牛角包好食, 其他食物質素都ok

可以一試

Food taste was okay. Portion was too small. Service was okay at the beginning but after the meal which lasted for around 50 mins the waiter urged us to pay and leave.

Drop by this hidden gem the other night, very interesting dishes, love the lava croissants and desserts.

Service was average at best . Food ok portions very small . Will not go back.

Interesting selection of dishes, however the portion sizes are relatively small and in my opinion were not flavourful enough to warrant the small size or somewhat high price tag (although I see from other reviews there must be discount coupons available).

Our group of 4 also had a strange experience where we ordered 1 dish each but were only served one dish at a time and then served the next dish when the previous one was finished.

At first we didn’t quite realize what was happening as we thought maybe the chef needed time to prepare each dish and then sent them as soon as they were ready, but by the third dish we realized they must have expected us to share them rather than have one each.

This miscommunication would have easily been resolved by better service or a simple question (“are you sharing?”), and we probably would not have had to wait ~2 hours for the fourth dish to arrive. Not exactly “fast” gourmet.

Small portions. Food is OK.

Don’t be misled by their name. This is actually a slow cook restaurant.
