French Onion Soup Gratinee -
Their famous 5 onion soup, this had a thick pile of gratinated cheese on top. I thought the cheese wasn't strong and aromatic enough however. The soup fared better with more onion sweetness and subtly herbed, with some soaked pieces of bread inside.

2008 Château Fourcas-Borie, from Listrac, Bordeaux, France -
This claret is a full bodied and very berries driven Bordeaux wine. Quite decent and went well with the steak.

Entrecote Bordelais - $328
This was a lovely entrecote but made with sirloin instead, topped with a kokumi packed cubes of lovely lardons and marrow, and mushrooms and pearl onions to balance it all with that thick red wine sauce! The beef had a good grilled flavour and and also decent beef flavour. The cheesy Dauphinois stack was also a great side accompaniment.

Pistachio Creme Brulee & Biscotti - $68
Served in a shallow ramekin dish, like a good Parisian bistro! We thought the pistachio was slightly too sweet, and I also think it could do with more roasted pistachio flavour. The brulee sugar top was quite decent and evenly thin for my particular one.

打從零九年起,法國美食節必除法國五月而來,也定必掀起飲食界一輪翻雲覆雨
今年的重點推介城市是南法的波爾多,那裡除了有一支頗不錯的足球隊,更為世人所認識的,當然是其釀製的紅酒
是晚得到了公關和食友的邀請,來到The Press Room品嚐其特別為"法國五月"而設的菜單,其中
工作地點相就,竟成為第一個到達,與公關交談過後,就周圍走走看看
從廚房位置鳥瞰,店內環境確實不錯

湯也隨即送上,未喝,芝士味已飄進鼻子裡
一向很喜歡洋蒽湯,尤其面層是烤有芝士的
這裡做的賣相更進一步,除了面層的芝士,還有粒粒綠油油的蒽花襯托,單是外觀已令人着迷
芝士層極厚,入口十分香滑!

先試極厚的芝士層,入口非常軟綿又香滑,真的很不錯
湯料配有當然的洋蒽,也有麵包,兩者都已煮得極軟稔,極易入口
湯汁十分香甜,幾乎每口都盡是湯炓,說其用料豐富,我更喜歡更多湯汁
請不要說我挑剔,只是精益求精,無論如何,在我喝過的洋蒽湯中,這已算是數一數二
優質的Prime Sirloin,其配菜也絕不可小覷

整個套餐中,最觸目的當然是USDA Prime Dry Aged Sirloin
十安士的份量,Medium Rare,算是吃牛不錯的方程式!
牛肉質地非常煙韌,而且帶一股濃厚的牛香
配上紅酒汁,更能帶味
選五至六成熟相信肉質會更煙韌更多汁!
常看我們劣作的朋友也知道我們從來不好杯中物
不過食友似乎對為吃此牛扒而特配的紅酒也甚欣賞,在此我也不班門弄斧,大家好杯中物的不妨也點一杯來伴食...

亦欣賞其配菜Gratin Dauphinois(即芝士薯批),薯仔夾着帶微香的芝士和忌廉,既不會搶去薯仔的香甜,亦可增加口感的豐富度,讚!
有食友覺得太硬,我倒覺得這更爽口,更合我心意
較少吃到的牛骨髓,質感軟綿,很點像吃肥膏,但一點也不膩

其牛骨髓也很特別,入口軟滑,像肥脂,但又不膩
洋蒽入口也很甘香,帶點微酸
主角雖是牛,但其他配菜也盡現所長
集各種味道於一身,是一個很不錯的整體

已吃得半飽,還有豐富的甜品侍候!

這麼大碟的法式焦糖燉蛋,只曾在Bettys Kitschen吃過,今回算是第二次
更特別的,是無論燉蛋本身和附上的杏仁脆餅乾都加入了開心果
不過吃起來又不太突出,卻反而影響了蛋味的發揮,有點兩頭不到岸之感
論燉蛋本身,鋪面的焦糖做得頗厚,於我來說可以接受
內裡的燉蛋入口十分香滑,口感頗不錯的

依是晚餐單,晚餐應止於此
不過卻罷不能,亦真佩服食友的胃口,還有空間試了數款甜品
每款也只淺嚐,以下介紹最值的額外一試的
我笑稱它為鮑魚的Pear Tarte Tatin - 有特色,味道也不錯

這個看似鮑魚的甜品,實是將整個梨浸入焦糖漿內
梨子味道甜美,入口仍保留相當程度的爽脆感
酥皮也雖浸有焦糖漿,但入口仍感到陣陣的牛油香

單價$328能吃到這麼優質的牛扒,取價真是十分相宜,當然,這裡的洋蒽湯,也很值得一試!
只在"法國五月"內供應,要試敬請趁早訂枱!

French Onion Soup Gratinée($85)。本身很愛喝湯,洋蔥湯更是其中一款很喜歡的西湯品,不過在香港要喝到好的洋蔥湯不容易,真正好喝的可能不過三家。首先這個洋蔥湯在香味與賣相方面已經拿滿分,侍應一放在檯上已經散發出濃濃的芝士香,芝士烤成金黃色,上面再加一些翠綠的蔥花作點綴,相當漂亮。用匙羮把芝士層剖開,發覺芝士層極厚,和平常喝的酥皮湯的酥皮厚度不遑多讓,愛吃芝士的朋友一定會喜歡。裡面的洋蔥絲和麵包煮得非常軟腍,基本上湯料充滿了整個碗,雖然我比較喜歡多些湯汁,不過清甜的洋蔥和厚厚的芝士層還是令我深深愛上這個湯。

Entrecôte Bordelais。這塊是十安士的USDA Prime Dry Aged Sirloin,份量真的不小,還配以大大件的芝士薯仔批。切開一塊肉看,裡面是粉紅色的,medium rare的熟度拿捏得剛好。通常喜歡吃Sirloin的人都是愛它肉味濃又有咬口,而我相對地較愛吃肉質軟腍的Rib Eye,不過這塊牛扒的肉味確實很濃郁,再配上用Baby Onion、煙肉和蘑菇煮成的傳統紅酒汁,味道不錯。另外牛扒其實淋了些牛骨髓油,鋪在牛扒上的兩塊淡黃色的就是牛骨髓,口感有點像脂肪。

伴碟的Gratin Dauphinois,其實是一道法國的家常菜,做法不難,就是把薯仔切成一片片,中間加入芝士和忌廉,疊成千層批的效果再拿去焗。薯仔仍然保留一定的爽脆度,夾雜著濃濃的芝士奶油香,簡單美味,不過都幾飽肚。

Pistachio Crème Brûlée & Biscotti($68)。一開始還被這個大小嚇倒,還好盤子是很淺的。開心果口味的焦糖燉蛋還是第一次吃,開心果味不太突出,面層的脆焦糖片也略嫌厚了點,不過中間的燉蛋入口幼滑,另外上面的開心果脆餅也鬆脆香甜。

除了公關為我們準備的餐單中的甜品外,我們還點了幾款甜品試試,其中選了幾兩款比較特別的介紹給大家。

Pear Tarte Tatin($144 for two),其實是把梨放在盤子裡,蓋上酥皮,焗好後再極速把其倒轉的倒轉批,不過賣相好像有點走了樣。至於味道方面還不錯,略為甜了點,不過我喜歡那個酥皮,雖然被糖漿浸濕了,但仍然吃得出充滿牛油香。

Red Wine Poached Pear($68)。賣相很漂亮的紅酒燴梨,旁邊有士多啤梨、奇異果、芒果粒粒做裝飾。把梨切開,裡面藏著玉桂雪糕,燴梨未至於完全軟腍,仍然有少許爽,紅酒的味道完全滲進梨子內,非常濃烈,可以說是我吃過最重酒味的一個燴梨,而中間的玉桂雪糕的甜味剛好可以中和紅酒的澀味。

要留意這個法國五月美食節的餐單只做到五月尾,有興趣的朋友記得要盡快訂位呢!

主菜是Entrecôte Bordelais,牛扒份量不少,有十安士,生熟度點了Medium rare,表面烤得微微焦香,內裡肉帶嫩粉紅,口感軟稔,肉味也濃。伴上兩小塊牛骨髓,脂肪油潤著牛的肉身,加上本身牛肉內豐盛的肉汁,味道就更濃郁。配菜的Gratin Dauphinois,一層層薄片薯仔夾著少許忌廉組成,表面焗得微脆,同樣美味。吃著牛扒,喝一口紅酒,更能把肉味帶出。

After reading Jason's review on The Press Room, it had been on my to try list for quite sometime but its only today that I went. The drive was originally for the frites, but I forgot to order it until I became full lol. Even so, I pretty much enjoyed my visit there and perhaps next time I could try it.

The Press Room is under the Press Room Group who also owns restaurants like The Pawn and The Classified. The Press Room is the first restaurant that the group founded, the idea behind the restaurant and the group name was from the fact that the location was once the offices of the Overseas Chinese Daily Newspaper back in the 1920s. I generally enjoy dinning in the restaurants of the Press Room Group, the nice and chilling ambiance is probably the main reason I love spending time there. It is always nice spending time in their restaurants with intimate friends and my loved one. (Remark: Please omit SML from the list though)

They have a really good deal on the two courses diner, so we each ordered one and added a salad on top.

Rare Peppered Beef Salad $98 (8/10)
Well balanced salad leaves (Palm Hearts & Watercress) with halved juicy cherry tomatoes and lightly spicy beef topped with shredded parmesan and truffle oil, which indeed was a lovable and appetising salad choice. Portion was generous to share between two.

French Onion Soup (6/10)
French Onion Soup is no doubt my favourite, I can't resist ordering one if the restaurant has it. The cheese was nicely baked with a decent aroma and tasted the best at the rim where the cheese was crusty and strong. However the soup itself was flat, so I didn't like it too much.

Duck Confit (8/10)
I think it's difficult to make nice duck as their meat is rougher in general. I had tried restaurants that messed up duck confit, but it's still one of my favourite dish.

There were two parts of the duck on the plate, offering two different textures. The duck breast on the right was tender, juicy and savoury, where as the duck leg on the left had a slightly rougher texture but very crispy skin. The wild berry jus was surprisingly overly salty, and hence ruined the spinach which was soaked in the sauce. The whole dish would be much better without the sauce. I enjoyed my duck confit in generally.

Slow Braised Lamb Shank ($239) (3/10)
The lamb shank was nicely presented, I bet the big chunk would immediately make a guy smile. I am a lamb lover but this lamb's taste was very strong in an unpleasant way. The only thing nice on the plate was the buttered potato. My friend and I were hugely disappointed.

TO CONCLUDE
The food was fine in general, it is the ambiance that I like about this restaurant. Just as I said at the beginning, I would definitely go back sometimes to try out their other dishes as well as the frites.

- Duck Confit

普通的$138 pre-fixe lunch set, 基本上也是三道菜,要飲品加十元,非常抵吃.餐牌定期更碗,這天的也不錯. 先來的也是麵包,頭盤則選擇了smoked salmon with capers and melba toast,三文魚小小一片充滿油脂香,伴著酸味的capers和多士片,令味覺更有層次,也不錯. 另一pan-fried chicken livers with lardons & red wine,雞肝微微煎過的頗香,入口酥而不臭,紅酒汁的甜更令雞肝更甜美易入口.多士夠香脆沒甚可投訴,唯獨是沙律菜少得到喉唔到肺,可以多一點嗎? 主菜點選了慢煮豬腩肉配mustard mash and creamed leeks,午市吃這麼一大塊肉真的多了點(而且還是腩肉!)皮也烤得香脆但有點硬,肉的中心也有點乾身的現象,汁顯得更少了.相比之下,那肉底的mash更易消滅. 顏色有點弔詭的fetticcini,意粉韌而沒甚麥香,蔬菜汁也帶酸,beetroot的獨特酸甜味更是突出.相比之下,這vegetarian fetticini簡單是清新無比之選擇. 甜品是甚麼呢?是chocola

Vanilla panna cotta端上時已有點溶的迹象,幸好入口未見太溶,香草籽是可見的多,味道也很香濃沉實,奶香重了點.幸好上面的水果甜酸有致,平衡了過重的奶味.

總的來說,其實平日的pre-fixe午餐已經非常超值,菜式選擇不錯而且有substantially different choices available,無論你是重口味也好,輕口味也好,在這裡也會找到心頭好.

不過吃了幾回也只是吃套餐,下次來,要點a la carte 的.最好當然是來吃brunch,我看上那名字都誘人至極的lobster benedict/risotto,已經很久了,哇哈哈.

為期一星期的Restaurant Week 2012,第二站選擇了到上環的The Pressroom吃午餐。餐廳屬於第二類,午市$158一位,晚市三百多,不貴。位於荷里活道的The Pressroom,餐廳一邊是大窗戶,頗影響室內燈光,第二次來就因天陰陰的感覺不太光猛.Restaurant Week的特別午餐,頭盤和甜品是二選一,主菜則是四選一.其實食物都很對胃口,這也是為甚麼會訂了這餐廳的原因.先送上麵包和牛油,麵包是sour dough,質地是夠鬆化了,麥香則不足,也不夠熱.牛油更是晒鬼氣,完全不香也不軟,塗了在麵包上等於沒塗,還是前幾天那煙燻牛油出色.頭盤是生牛肉薄片和魚餅.魚餅以麵包糠蓋之炸熟,中間的薯仔和魚肉都很香,保留了兩者的咬感,不俗.伴碟的niçoise sticks軟稔稔的也太重香草味了,反而帶酸辣的smoked chilli aioli吊起了魚肉的鮮味,也能解滯,非常令人驚喜.生牛肉薄片上面佈滿貌似森林的rocket leaves/capers/lettuce...充滿纖維的咬感,也很清新的味道.牛肉薄片新鮮甘甜,就是肉質鞋了點,也有少許酥味.不過顧及午餐的相宜價錢

生牛肉薄片上面佈滿貌似森林的rocket leaves/capers/lettuce...充滿纖維的咬感,也很清新的味道.牛肉薄片新鮮甘甜,就是肉質鞋了點,也有少許酥味.不過顧及午餐的相宜價錢,也算是相當合理甚至超值的味道.

也有濃濃的白松露’油’香,大家應該知道松露油是沒有松露成份,也沒有了松露那earthy的泥土氣味,所以雖然香,卻流於單薄,也下得重手了點,加上有重味的Parmesan cheese,整體偏咸.說回來,這裡的’裝假狗’beetroot Carpaccio甜中帶點酸味,比這牛肉的更清新,喜歡頭盤比較輕怡的我偏好前者呢.

主菜四選一,從魚,肉,雞,南瓜中,我們選取了第二和第四.

牛肉的選擇是炭燒hanger steak.記得去年突然出現一陣hanger steak熱潮,也許是因為這部份的牛肉肉味濃郁,適當處理後也相當軟稔好嚼,所以大受歡迎吧?但從前無牛不歡的我,其實一直也未吃過hanger steak, until today.因為部份的原故hanger steak切成比較小片,重重疊疊的毡在菠菜上,伴以薯條和茄汁.

牛肉質地的確很稔,纖維雖然不甚幼細但如經過適當處理,也是易嚼的。不過如果喜歡’肥’的朋友可能不太適合吃hanger steak了,因這部份是沒有甚麼肥膏的!肉味也很濃郁,更令人想起在日式燒肉時想吃的牛胸腹肉,用的就是同一部位了吧?整體是滿意的,除了那多得滿捨的紅酒汁和乾葱,調味實在甜得過火了,令人有在吃韓燒,用水果醃過的牛肉的感覺.如果可以輕手一點,牛肉本身的味道會更突出.-不過其實這汁用來點薯條吃反而更對,因為如果用ketchup(!)點這幼得來充滿薯香又脆身的薯條,實在是個侮辱-如果有個Frites的mayo,就好了.

南瓜是指risotto.我愛吃risotto,雖然有不少撞版經歷,而且早前才在Madam Sixty Ate吃過,但這天再吃一次也不覺厭,this is love,哈哈!顏色是pleasant的橙黃色,上面有一片片羊奶芝士,散發著酥香.

米粒飽滿,但外表偏硬,中芯卻煮得不錯而且幾入味甘甜,想不通;南瓜汁的味道也是甜得來很subtle的,一塊塊烤南瓜肉也軟綿綿的,反而是那些’勁抽’羊奶芝士太酥太搶味了,如果單吃會太濃,同吃兩者的感覺又不很平衡.幸好整體也是幾好吃的,這天好像餓鬼上身的本我也是清了碟.

最後是甜品,一道是傳統的朱古力暖心布甸,一道是pavolva。兩者記憶中都不是法國的甜品

朱古力暖心的饀只是少許流動,可可味香而不太醇厚,幸好布甸質感不會過濕,保持了應有的企身,配合着一小球雪尼拿雪糕,一凍一暖的感覺相當刺激,不錯。

Pavolva其實是澳洲甜品,和蛋白meringue差不多,看似簡單要做好卻很難.這裡的很不錯,眼白外層又薄又脆,裡面是剛好的流心狀,味道不會過甜,上面的雜果酸咪味的更是清新.

雖然沒連咖啡或茶怎樣的,但這個Restaurant Week的午餐也是非常令人滿意的.其實晚市的餐單也是差不多,不過用料會再高級點,而且甜品會有超級美味,卻已不幸從餐牌被剔除的Lemon Meringue Pie選擇.不過價錢也貴一倍有多,值不值得大家自己決定吧!

Lobster Risotto (Half Portion) - HKD $155
This is a bargain!! There are a lot of boston lobster meat and a strong crustacean taste in the well cooked risotto which was al dente. But there were 2 problems, this was overly herbed with both dill and thyme which really distracted from the flavour, and most importantly much like the mussels dish above this was too bitter from alcohol input. Lobster risotto has been a signature at The Press Room for many years even before one of their chefs had left, and on this occasion it seemed promising but that bitterness and herbalness made it unbalanced… ~ 6.9/10

To be continued...

On a recent trip back to Hong Kong, I was dying dying dying for some authentic french food.
Not sure what was the source, but Press Room has long been on my list of to try restaurants, so on a sunday morning, my friend and i hastily made a reservation and rushed to The Press Room.

The perfect brunch always starts with the perfect cocktail, and the Pimm's Cup at Press Room is pretty decent, the cucumber flavor is strong, but definitely refreshing. Whilst the french toast was delicious and very simply presented, the characterie plate was a bit disappointing. Many of the items were too oily, and the pate was definitely not up to par. Needless to say, after craving french food for so long, I was a little disappointed.

However, I am willing to come back and give it a second try....the oysters on display looked quite phenomenal

上個月看自己喜愛的本地女歌手 - 林憶蓮的演場會,在她出道時已經有聽她的音樂,但真正開始喜歡她,大約在華納唱片年代,一系列City Rhythem大碟,充滿時代感的快歌。。

在系列中最後一張大碟Faces and Places,短短數十分鐘的音樂旅程,憶蓮對著大家說到巴黎,怎樣令人多麼入神,微微雨在撲,滿花都灑落的浪漫。。。。

賣相像意大利的Beef Carpaccio,只不過由牛肉換成紅菜頭,將紅菜頭切成薄片,佐以羊芝士,火箭菜,合桃同吃,規格也與Beef Carpaccio大同小異,。紅菜頭的鮮甜味,與濃鹹帶騷的羊芝士,有種此料不及的相襯,芝士的味道,提高了整道菜的層次感。

每一道菜也配一款餐酒,頭盤的餐酒為Bourgogne Cuvee Saint-Vincent Chardonnay 2009。帶有果香,酸度平衡,入口柔和,很容易令人接受,尤其是不大喝酒的女生們。

黑松露圍堵著肝醬的外層,中間的肝醬濃香軟滑,配合著黑松露的幽香,兩者渾然天成,香味在口腔內彌留,真不捨得一口氣吞下。

主菜三選一,我與身邊的彭彭聲,對面的龍少爺,各自點不同的主菜,互相嚐試。

Chargrilled Spatchcock , garlic butter, lemon, thyme & wild rocket salad。此雞肉是否即殺,那就不得而知,外層的雞皮烤得很香,雞肉更是非常鮮嫩,以蒜蓉牛油,檸檬做出來的醬汁,作用有如護膚露一樣,將雞肉塗得更加滑溜。

小試彭彭的Rosemary Marinated Lamb Chops , mixed beans salad & mint pesto。很多西餐廳做出來的羊架,不是沒有味,就是肉質太過粗。這裡的羊架,生熟程度較得恰好,羊肉帶有點點騷香,質感軟淋,是有水準的羊架。另外還淺嘗公關N手上的Grilled Darne of Salmon,從來也說燒三文魚很難做得好,淺嚐一口,魚肉外熟內嫩,更帶有油脂感,可見此魚肉的肥美程度。

主菜的餐酒是Deux Montille 2008 Bourgogne, Burgundy Pinot Noir。哈哈,Pinot Noir一向是我吃燒鵝的良伴,但通常是喝南半球的出品,這款來自布根地的Pinot Noir,果香濃郁,柔和而不太霸道,很適合在中午時間喝。

I have been to The Press Room few times and this is my first time write a review because of BC’s request.

It’s Friday night, so I made a reservation few days in advance and I got my table on time.

When we marched in the restaurant, we saw there’s a seafood bar at our right hand side then we walked further, there’s a bar area with few high tables, bar stools and leather sofas, I saw some people sat there and had having a light meal or bar snack while they were sipping their bear.

The server led us to the dining area and we both found the table is pretty small and quite closed to the next table, that’s something I don’t like.


Four of us, me and Mr. J ordered the Seafood platter for 2; Ms. K & Mr. A are more meat lovers so they ordered the meats platter for 2. I am a huge fan of French Onion Soup, so I got it as my 2nd starter  For the seafood platter, it’s difficult to goes wrong but personally I only like the oyster so I let Mr. J finished most of the seafood
and yet the onion was not the best in town, probably the 2nd best.

My main course, I ordered the rabbit it comes with linguine + wild mushroom sauces, quite yummy and the sauces was very light. Mr. J & Ms. K ordered beef and Mr. A ordered lamb, they enjoyed their main also.

For the desserts, Mr. A ordered Crème Brulee and the rest of us preferred Chocolate Marquise. Yummy


Overall it’s a pleasant meal and compared to most of restaurant in HK, The Press Room’s wine list have quite a lot of good choice there. We ordered 2 bottle of red, 1 bottle of white 1 bottles of dessert wine.

老實說,這個羊真的是非常好吃!羊身煎得香口,肉質是非常軟腍那種,沒有太騷,啖啖肉之餘亦充滿香草味。不得不提那放在羊骨架上的薄荷醬,伴上羊肉同吃真的很搭配。這道菜相信本少爺下次再來時都是會再點的!

另一款Foie Gras Ballotine是以黑松露包圍鵝肝醬的四周,下面櫬以青新沙律.鵝肝味道濃烈但絕不油膩,亦因鵝肝是凍食的,所以酥味未有蓋過那點點松露幽香,入口軟綿的鵝肝和帶點顆粒的松露,香味在口中融和,味道非常合拍,吃來比賣相精緻呢.

主菜選了喜愛的Rosemary Marinated Lamb Chops,在不少地方吃過不酥的羊肉,總有受騙的感覺,這裡就很清楚自己在吃的是甚麼.有烤紋的羊扒看來好像很老,但其實生熟度還可以,入口更是滿嘴油酥香,肉質又軟滑,是久違了的好羊肉味道!頂上的mint pesto充滿清新橄欖油香,就選單吃也非常味美;以各種豆組成的沙律也是粒粒粉綿香甜,好味道得令我清了碟!

其實三款主菜都是我喜愛的,但魚於熊掌之間還是選了最愛的羊,不過也和朋友分吃了點雞和魚,滿足了我貪心的胃!這Chargrilled Spatchcock可真的不得了,肉質鮮嫩不在話下,那雞味更是濃郁非常,更有點野雞的野性味道(是我想太多了吧..),和平時吃到的’淡淡肉’雞完全是兩碼子事,非常令人回味!

因為頭盤和主菜都吃得太放肆,所以此時已是十成飽,但沒理由不吃甜品吧~要從四種甜品中選一款實在令人頭痛非常,最後捨棄了法國傳統的crepe和mille-feuille,選了向來都喜愛的Lemon Meringue Tart.

這個甜品份量也真太大了吧!檸檬批有一隻小碟大小,批底是討好的充滿牛油香味,只是略嫌厚和硬了點點;而檸檬餡可能是要配合港人口味,所以不算很酸,個人可以接受更酸的(雖然後來發現如果配合塗在碟邊的lemon jelly吃酸味會增強不少).頂上的蛋白忌廉甜度適中,也夠挺身,質感未見過份打發至充斥著氣泡甚麼的,掌握得非常不錯.

再上面搭著的一條像shortbread的lemon sable,配著那酸得來很清新(但其實算很肥..)的檸檬批餡,另我像著了魔般完全停不下來,一口接一口的吃,最後居然吃了四分三有多,還是經過一論爭扎後才成功逼自己停手的,可見這個檸檬批有多好吃!只是可以再酸一點點就更好了~

另一甜品Strawberry mille-feuilles,酥皮非常薄但不弱,custard幾幼滑,充滿蛋香,是不錯的,我個人還會比較喜歡檸檬批一點,但完全是個人口味作祟,這一味mille-feuilles也是非常出色的.

吃過三道非常精彩的菜式,加上配搭食物的幾杯的wine,這一餐實在美味得令我吃過份了-此時來杯解滯的breakfast tea,就是極妙的結尾.

實在感謝公關和餐廳的安排,這頓午餐的食物非常令人滿意,就算不懂法文也要說句:Merci beaucoup

是日吃的是 3 courses lunch set,前菜、主菜、甜品皆有三款選擇,而餐廳的葡萄酒總監 Kavita Devi Faiella 更安排了三款 fine wines,為我們帶來一次美酒佳餚的享受,偏偏我當日感冒在身,未能嚐出名酒的真味,實在可惜。

前菜選擇了 Beetroot Carpaccio,將紅菜頭切成薄片,賣相竟跟常見的 Beef Carpaccio 十分相似,入口質感腍中帶爽,伴以 goat's cheese、walnut 佐吃,使味道不至太過單調,另外也很欣賞這天的火箭菜,清脆不苦,反給人清新的感覺。

主菜 Rosemary Marinated Lamb Chops,烤羊鞍的火喉掌握得好,輕輕切開,中心位置呈粉嫩顏色,入口軟腍,肥脂位更帶點羊羶味,連同最佳拍檔 mint pesto,徹底的搶去伴菜雜豆沙律的風頭!

最後上場的 Lemon Meringue Tart 是亮點,賣相精美,入口盡是酸酸的味道,連同富有牛油香的脆餅底同吃,是一大享受,份量其實足二人用的,但吃著吃著竟然清掉了一大半,突然發覺自己越來越喜歡 Lemon Tart 這東西,是因為年紀大、口味變了的關係嗎?

感謝有關方面的邀請,很滿意 The Press Room 的食物,更欣賞餐廳予人輕鬆舒適的感覺,遲些當被繁重的工作弄得頭昏腦漲,來這裡歇一歇準沒錯!

Saturday night and not an empty table there.We started with the escargots and the steak tartare, the former suitably garlicky and buttery, the latter a generous portion of well seasoned beef with the condiments on the side for you to mix in.

Saturday night and not an empty table there.

We started with the escargots and the steak tartare, the former suitably garlicky and buttery, the latter a generous portion of well seasoned beef with the condiments on the side for you to mix in. An Absinte55 went very well with the beef.

It proved quite a feat to get the attention of the waitress who seemed to look in every direction except that of the customers.

Our mains were the calves liver which I thought was overcooked but was perfect for my wife, and a whole poussin on a bed of lentils which was cooked perfectly.

The food here is competent but certainly not exciting.

With a beer, Sprite and a glass of decent, but expensive at $82 a glass, house red the total came to $978.
