歧視中國人既餐廳 (restaurant with racism!)
2008-09-01 20 views
Yesterday, friends and I went to Cheung Sha for swimming, the youngsters were very hungry and we saw there was a nice western restaurant, we went inside and wanted to sit down & have something to eat.However, when I stepped into the restaurant, one mid-age chinese woman already talked to me in very rude manner: ' we are a WESTERN restaurant'.'Of course I know you are serving western food! not chinese food!

Yesterday, friends and I went to Cheung Sha for swimming, the youngsters were very hungry and we saw there was a nice western restaurant, we went inside and wanted to sit down & have something to eat.
However, when I stepped into the restaurant, one mid-age chinese woman already talked to me in very rude manner: ' we are a WESTERN restaurant'.
'Of course I know you are serving western food! not chinese food! Could you please give me a menu to review first?'
And then that woman replied me in a very rude way...'did you reserve a table? if not, we can't offer you...' But it was empty inside the restaurant! Only some outdoor tables were occupied by foreigners.
I was so angry and left that restaurant right away.
I never thought such western restaurant could have such staff with bad manner.
I beleive they wanted to serve foreigners, but with these staff, I guarantee no people would like to have food there.
So I decided to leave a true comment and warn the Chinese People not going there.
I have also informed all my foreign & local friends, not going to this restaurant. I don't know about the food, but if you want to go to a restaurant, you want to enjoy the good food together with the services, right?
昨天, 一行10幾人去長沙游水, d 細路肚餓, 諗住去呢間餐廳食野, 因為都幾多外國人係度, 同有d氣氛, 我地四個女仔先入到去, 有個中年亞嬸已經毫不客氣黑起塊面話: 我地係食西餐架wor.
我超嬲,就回應, 梗係食西餐啦, 唔通食中餐咩, 唔該你俾個餐牌我睇...
佢跟住就仲衰...'你地有無book 枱架...無book唔做你地生意wor...我地無枱wor'.
嘩...有無攪錯...果時早上11點幾,只有d外國人坐哂係沙灘上既枱, 入面既枱一個人都無...有無攪錯, 今時今日咁既服務態度超唔掂, d 野食唔方好食啦, 係d外國人收'tum'姐. 狗眼看人底, 真係佛都有火, 我即刻走兼通知哂所有人, 千祈唔好去果間野食野.
我食野咁耐, 第一次遇到咁既餐廳, 老闆真係多得個亞嬸唔少, 不過我相信近朱者赤.

The restaurant is pretty much the only choice on the beach. I don't think many of us really liked the food. The best thing for me was the bread!

The green salad was so-so...cucumber, lots of onions, some green peppers and a few iceberg lettuce leaves, with a very mild olive/vinegar dressing. But at $30 I guess I shouldn't complain.

Being a Mediterranean/South African restaurant, I had high hopes for the ostrich steak. What was delivered was tough, dry, and what's the deal with the sauce? I thought the menu said something about green peppercorn? Not only was there no hint of pepper, it tasted like alcohol and very strange. In the end I had to sprinkle it with lots of salt and pepper, and even then we didn't feel like finishing it.

The waitress recommended the ribs, and my friend who ordered it thought it was reasonably good. But really not sure about the quality here.

Oh and they are just too busy with too few staff to handle the customers. Service definitely poor. And the lights on our side did not work - it was so dark we couldn't read the menu properly. And the staff didn't call any taxis for us as we requested.

Bad food, bad service... can anyone think why we should ever come back?

Ok, after reading the reviews, I decided to try this place.

- Ambience - I agree, it is good, but then, all out doors, beach fronts are classified the same anyways, right? why else would beach front properties costs two arms and your family fortune.

- BBQ meats, beef was not top quality but edible, there was a piece of beef sausage, again, not too tasty yet acceptable, the chicken breast was dry and way over Q'd...the lamb was barely acceptable.
- the order came with these potatoes and these were simply heavenly...yum yum. I dare not imagine the calories but they were good. So good, that I wouldn't have mind if they just skip the meat and bring in a full plate of potatoes.

Dessert, um...strange dark looking chuck of foreign matter, the ice cream was local and tasted exactly Diary Farms.

Jug of Carlsberg, not too watered down, so...

overall, I will go back, perhaps to try a Sunday brunch setting.

Unfortunately, I did not manage to try the praised items - their bread and their corning chicken.

Perhaps another time.

值得一試的美味
2007-09-26 9 views
因到大嶼山住兩晚，亦想找找有新意及有情調的地方，所以找來The Stoep Restaurant因不太熟如何去，乘著巴士由司機告知下車；下車後附近只得樹木，幸好那兒亦只得一條小路；或許是平日晚的關係，到了只得一家外籍客人，我們亦可晚晚選擇座位，當然靠近沙灘更是舒服．內裡有狗，大大小小的，怕狗就要小心點，但可能常接近人，也很和善．Mixed BBQ - served with scallop potato and salad，內裡有燒雞胸，牛扒，肉腸，羊扒，再加上沙律及薯菜．火口十足，將各肉類的肉汁全收得好好，食落很有口感．本叫牛扒是五成，但來卻過火了，不過仍很嫩；羊扒是全碟最美味，還有暖暖的薯菜，正合我倆的口味．雞胸的醬汁很好味，肉汁又多，肉腸內似牛肉制成．必定要試的一款．雜菜海鮮湯，味道可以，因我不太喜歡青口及蝦，但才料亦算足，朋友仔吃過青口十分好味．香煎三文魚扒（鐵板），真的十分香口，而且味道十足蒜蓉飽，半條法包加入很多蒜蓉，十分好吃，因開了大風扇，令不是太熱，失了一點分．朋友仔要了一杯橙汁雜飲，只是一般，沒有驚喜食物方面真的十分好味，如果下午來可以看著美麗沙灘，更是不錯，若不怕遠

因不太熟如何去，乘著巴士由司機告知下車；下車後附近只得樹木，幸好那兒亦只得一條小路；或許是平日晚的關係，到了只得一家外籍客人，我們亦可晚晚選擇座位，當然靠近沙灘更是舒服．內裡有狗，大大小小的，怕狗就要小心點，但可能常接近人，也很和善．

Mixed BBQ - served with scallop potato and salad，內裡有燒雞胸，牛扒，肉腸，羊扒，再加上沙律及薯菜．火口十足，將各肉類的肉汁全收得好好，食落很有口感．本叫牛扒是五成，但來卻過火了，不過仍很嫩；羊扒是全碟最美味，還有暖暖的薯菜，正合我倆的口味．雞胸的醬汁很好味，肉汁又多，肉腸內似牛肉制成．必定要試的一款．
雜菜海鮮湯，味道可以，因我不太喜歡青口及蝦，但才料亦算足，朋友仔吃過青口十分好味．
香煎三文魚扒（鐵板），真的十分香口，而且味道十足
蒜蓉飽，半條法包加入很多蒜蓉，十分好吃，因開了大風扇，令不是太熱，失了一點分．
朋友仔要了一杯橙汁雜飲，只是一般，沒有驚喜

食物方面真的十分好味，如果下午來可以看著美麗沙灘，更是不錯，若不怕遠了點，這兒的環境及食物，真的值得一試，而且又不太貴（起碼被我預期中平宜點）結脹也只是$300，環境及情調，又很接近大自然，真是一個休息又滿足的地方．

You need to get away from the Clutter? On Weekend? Make your way to this nice uniquely humble restaurant and let the rest of the day take your breathe away.

Restaurant by the beach is nice of course. You sitting on or by the sand, listening to the waves, usually people start forgetting about the taste of the food and will remember the restaurant by its environment.

Yes yes the sand the sea is all great but... Well I remember Stoep by their consistently great homemade bread. Your get a choice of Farmhouse Loaf or Seed Loaf. A Loaf is really A LOAF. So if you are there for a romantic dinner with just the 2 of you, don't get stuck with a LOAF of bread, get 2 pieces of each, and you will ask for more later.

Farmhouse is not exactly extraordinary, but its softness is Just great for dips. They have around 6-8 dips to choose from. We tried the Cooked EggPlant and Hummus. The eggplant never fails to surprise me with the layers of taste and texture, (looks like a cookie dough). Hummus has a gernerous touch of Saffron and its very mouth watering. 2 dips balanced out each other. Great choice.

Seedloaf is a lot more dense as a bread, with a whole lot of black sesame embedded, lending to its fragrant bouquet. It is more filling than the farmhouse.

Greek salad is BIG. Served with a very generous amount of Feta, its just the right salad.

By the time you finish the Bread and Salad, you are basically full. But if you walk away then, you will miss out a lot. So do take your time eating this meal... I would suggest order the rest of the meal while having your starters.

Remarkable Charcoal Lamb Kebabs, Sausages, and Fillets. Poach Salmon is bit overdone. Can't wait to try out Lamb Entres next time round.

Their Wine selection is not exactly Grand Cru, offering South African and Australian selections. But who cares, you should be drunken with the great environment and ambience if you have the right company there. Their food tend to go better with lighter wines, white definitely. Sauvignon Blanc is the mainstay, whilte the Chenin Blanc offers a tad sweeter finish to go with their great Cods/Salmon.

I will make sure I am equipped with a bottle of light Champagne next time I am there, if not 2. Finish the 1st bottle sitting on the beach doing nothing, and the 2nd sitting by the restaurant doing the starters. Its going to be a min. 6-hour stay.

OH BTW, if you are a dog=lover, you won't be lonely, Stoep's over-friendly cute doggies will keep you company. They actually walk us out to the beach, guiding us along the beautiful Cheung Sha. My buddies.

How do you get there?
What I do is drive up to Tung Chun, and hop on a Blue Taxi for a $50 ride to Cheung Sha Lower Village. On the way back I would get on a bus back to Tung Chun. I do recommend doing the taxi if its your first time, cuz the hidden driveway is not exactly very easy to find, especially with the Grunting Lantau Bus Drivers (they aren't overly friendly).

If you are going by the other side (Ferry to MuiWo), the ride to Cheung Sha although not far, just adds on to your stress before you get to this nice secluded beach. Dats why I prefer Tung Chung.

See you there.

My 2 Cents.

環境好好啊!!!!
2002-08-04 16 views
依間係一間由菲藉大廚開o既?廳。開係大嶼山長沙，我以為會好少人去。點知7pm已經full晒!!!! 可能係依一帶，唔似南丫島，好少有依一類o既餐廳。所以有好多外國人都會o黎依間餐廳食飯，甚至好似當晚咁，開party。間餐廳位於長沙下村沙灘邊，一邊享受悠悠o既海風，一邊享受地中海o既美食。尤其係夜晚，係昏黃o既吊燈下食飯，好有feel~~~ (不過，入夜時會有好多好多蚊！！再夜d就冇，但係到時就未必有位)我地order o左：Fried Greek Cheese ($45) - 用鐵板上,一條煎香o左o既greek cheese,外皮脆，入面"煙un"，咸咸地幾開胃。Greek Salad (~~$50)- 加o左olive & greek cheese o既green salad。Mixed BBQ ($150) - served with scallop potato and salad (double o左個salad ), 有steak、lamb chop、chicken breast同一條唔知乜野o既sausage。條sausage有d似係肝臟做，味道普通。lamb chop

我地order o左：
Fried Greek Cheese ($45) - 用鐵板上,一條煎香o左o既greek cheese,外皮脆，入面"煙un"，咸咸地幾開胃。
Greek Salad (~~$50)- 加o左olive & greek cheese o既green salad。
Mixed BBQ ($150) - served with scallop potato and salad (double o左個salad
), 有steak、lamb chop、chicken breast同一條唔知乜野o既sausage。條sausage有d似係肝臟做，味道普通。lamb chop "鞋"o左d，反而個steak同個雞胸幾好味~ 若果only order steak & 雞胸，會好好多！
Botington Beer ($30)
Iced Lemon Tea (Lipton, $15) - 竟然只有人工lemon tea, 但就好誠實，個menu寫明係lipton！
Black Coffee (~~$20)
Lemon Squash ($10)
Tipsy Tart ($45) - Baked Pudding with dates and nuts, served with Brandy sauce~ 好甜呀~~~~ 不過就好香，好味！若果佢唔用花奶墊底就好好多喇，因為d花奶味完全唔夾！
埋單$417
個晚客人多，又有party，所以service比較慢，但d 菲藉waitress 好nice。當我話個steak要rare時，個waitress竟然話我口味似黑人~

當晚開party個班人，order o左隻燒全羊，好吸引呀~~~~睇翻雜誌介紹，原來燒雞同home-made o既麵包好好味。下次一定要試！！
