Restaurant REVIEW: Wild Thyme | Foodie

Review analysis

Helmed by Chef Tarek Alali, Wild Thyme is the result of this culinary explorer's disappointment in the lack of quality vegetarian Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine available in Hong Kong.

Enter Chef Tarek, who remedies this issue with an exclusive pure vegetarian menu (but fear not, fellow carnivores, he has not forgotten us: Wild Thyme's offerings also cater to meat eaters).

We're big fans of tabbouleh ($80), but we harbour a perpetual fear of the possibility of imbalanced flavours that often accompany the execution of this dish – not so at Wild Thyme.

Their chunky signature dip ($95) was rich in colour and flavour, made of roasted nuts and smoked chilli, and bore a piquant profile, the fleeting kind of spice that stays on your tongue for only a handful of seconds and doesn't dominate your taste buds for the rest of the night.

The fare at Wild Thyme was light and fresh, the portions were right, the ingredients were quality, and drawing from the culinary influences of his childhood, it's clear that Chef Tarek sincerely cares about his food and sticking to the flavourful core of what Middle Eastern cuisine is all about.
