What we got:
First of all, apologies for the pictures in this post. As we're only using our phone cameras (no DSLRs!) and the lighting at Black Market wasn't ideal (it was not well-lit enough for proper pictures), the pictures are pretty dark and low-quality.
Garlic butter scallop (RM16)
We started off the meal with an appetiser of garlic butter scallop. The amount of scallop more than justified the RM16 price tag. Enjoyable, especially for those who love the fragrantly stinky bulb (this dish was loaded with 'em!).
Black Market's grilled pork shoulders (RM38)
We wish we could say we were wowed by our mains (we wanted so much to be) but sadly we can't. While the chicken was succulent, the pork turned out tougher than expected. The sauce for both also tasted rather similar, in that both were quite overwhelming and salty. Save for the different meats used, we couldn't really taste much difference between the two. Truth be told, I regretted my rather ordinary pork order (which costs almost RM40 before service charges). I'm not saying the mains were bad, but I suppose we had higher expectations of the food, especially after seeing how many people were raving about the place in their blogs.
Red velvet cake (RM13)
Our dessert of red velvet cake was quite forgettable.
Our dinner at Black Market worked out to be a very cheap (relative to the place, that is) meal for us. Because the group discount site was running a campaign where you could get RM25 off any single purchase of RM50 and above, we only paid RM25 for a voucher worth RM100. After taxes, we only had to top up RM1.20 so our entire meal at Black Market only cost us less than RM30. You can bet we were pretty happy about that!
(We weren't happy that parking cost us RM5 though.)
Tax: Service charge of 10%
How much we paid: RM26.20
