| - I have been a fan of Jonathan Poon's cooking for quite some time now - had great experiences with Chantecler (both with the original menu and after they changed the menu, before he left) and Bar Fancy. So I was excited to try Super Point.
The place itself has a hipster/retro vibe - neon signage outside, and very dim lighting inside, with a neon pink/purple backlight and mostly-wooden interior. It's cosy- seats about 30-35 people. I think there's a back section too, but it's not visible from the main dining area.
We started with the shrimp and pork spring rolls. They're not your run-of-the-mill skinny Asian spring rolls - these ones are quite thick, with substance. It's a full length shrimp (think like tempura size), which is encased in ground pork and house-made spring roll dough, then deep fried. The dish was served with a sweet and sour chili-type sauce. It was a great dish - hot, crispy, and meaty.
Surprisingly, the pizza was the most disappointing. We ordered the nduja deluxe pizza. It's New York Style pizza, with nduja sausage, fresh mushrooms, and green peppers. The size of the pizza was decent, but I agree with Peter T. - there was a serious lack of sausage! There were maybe 1-2 tiny pieces of sausage on each slice of pizza. The tomato sauce was also quite runny - I would remove a slice of pizza from the tray and sauce from adjacent slices would be leaking slowly onto the tray, like a puddle of water spreading on a table. The crust was cooked well (thin and crispy, not soggy like Pizzeria Libretto tends to get), but it lacked flavour.
We also ordered the beef cheek reginette. This dish was fabulous - the beef cheek was so tender and the tomato-based sauce was not too acidic (albeit a tad salty). The house-made pasta was on the harder side of al dente, but I really like a good bite to my pasta. This was definitely the stand-out dish of the evening.
For dessert, we got an order of donuts and grapefruit curd. The curd was sweet, thick, and delicious, not as acidic and citrusy as I had expected. There were 2 donuts, they're about 2.5-3 inches each, deep fried and are served hot and fresh and dipped in granulated sugar. They were so light and fluffy on the inside. A very delicious treat.
Service was nice - the servers were friendly and refilled our water glasses often. I would eat here again for sure, but I would skip the pizza and go straight for the other kitchen items, because that's where I think Mr. Poon works his magic.
