Wooloomooloo Steakhouse (Closed)

Had lunch here with a couple of pals today, one friend brought along his 4-year-old son.Second floor is a nice space, open and great view of the intersection there at the edge of LKF. We all had the set lunch ($138?!) with asparagus salad (unremarkable) and a small, well it looked like a filet mignon (but it wasn't, can't remember the exact cut) steak and the other had cabbage-wrapped salmon.The steak was outrageously good, cooked to true rare in my case, seasoned just right. Hands down the best

Today I was called out to have an adhoc lunch in Central. Usually with lunch hours like this, the chances of finding a restaurant is slim, however, this place...probably due to its geography...most of the time can offer plenty of seats for occasional walk-in customers like me.This is already my second time here, the first time, I was seated on the ground floor, but this time, their friendly waitress took us to their upper floor which has a very different ambience as compare with the floor below

27-8-2010終於熬過了好啃的一個星期, 星期五 lunch 決定食好一點, 嚟到蘭桂坊頂的呢度試試. 1:15pm 剛好「攝」到位, 不過店員們見我只一條友前來, 幾愕然 幾款 executive set lunches (starter + main + coffee/tea; 另可加錢要 dessert) 的主菜都係肉類, 不過胃口一般, 還是簡簡單單食 pasta 好了.先嚟一板 welcoming bread: 份量大到咁 賣相絕對 "honey glazed", 拎上手熱辣辣的, 食落帶少少甜, 不過唔算好軟熟; 旁邊的 herb butter 就絕對 fresh from the fridge, 冰凍硬實,「片」得吃力, 終於「將冰山劈開」後, 亦只「片」出碎濕濕乾爭爭的 "flakes", 真係 Starter 要了 smoked salmon, green apple & fennel salad: fennel seeds 食得多, 新鮮的都係第一次... 呢碟的 shave 到一條條, 食落味淡卻清爽, 感覺似足「走辛辣」版生洋蔥, 哈哈 青蘋

Wooloomooloo, geeze it brings back lots of memories....Sydney 有間好出名食 Hotdog 的地方叫 Harry on De Wheels 就係要特登去一個叫 Wooloomooloo 的地方食。Reservation 的時候，個 waitress 話會好快 serve 到野食....但事實並不是如此。一點多坐底已經立即 order grilled Australian beef tenderloin & goose liver pate with sauteed potato, spinach and Au Jus and also pumpkin soup with pine nuts。一路飲台版 perrier $50 一樽，一路等左 45 mins 先終於見到個 pumpkin soup....跟住要再等多15 mins 先出到個 main course...需知道 lunch is only 1 hour and waiting for the food took 1 hr !!! This place can't

我同老公慶祝生日,環境真係唔錯,黑黑地,幾ROMANTIC!我地叫左4樣野:LOBSTER BISQUE:...同一般出面飲0既LOBSTER BISQUE唔同味,偏甜,不過有好重0既干邑味,幾CREAMY,唔錯(以$90/碗份量都OK!)CRAB CAKE:同大部分食評講0既都一樣,好RICH,幾清同特別0既STARTER(因為唔多地方有CRAB CAKE)$140,不過如果大舊D會好D!!西冷扒12OZ:....老公話好食不過我就覺得冇乜驚喜LAW,$330,OK LA, THE STEAKHOUSE 好似好D!WILD SEA BASS:好正!真係好好味,個SEA BASS好JUICY,ON SIDE 0既TOMATO SOURCE好好味,正正正!D SERVICE 都OK LA....冇令我難忘都冇乜唔滿意!埋單$1,000有找!

對於這個位於南太平洋的大島，所知的實在有限。問了一些澳洲的"鄉里"同事，她們也不能說其特色之處。既然大家都不知道，也只好到時候拿著餐牌看看便可略知一二。因為要加班至七時，所以同事們都先到了餐廳，換我到達時已經是七點多了。這店的格局是下層酒吧上層餐廳的形式，店內的光線較一般食店昏暗。在旁的半開放式廚房，可看到廚師如果去烤扒類。 拿起餐牌看看菜色，發現澳洲菜的材料都是他們海岸常抓到的海鮮或牛肉，而烹調方很接近西方煮法。今天由另一位同事負責決定食物，難得不用花神去想，便拿起面前的紅酒，品嚐著它帶來的香純感覺。先來的是湯<<龍蝦湯>> (Lobster Bisque)，口感好滑，濃郁而又有著龍蝦的香味，龍蝦肉既爽口又鮮味，水準很高的作品。喝過了湯，再來是前菜<<白酒香草蒜汁煮青口>>(Fresh Mussels Au Meuniere)，青口帶有很重的海水味，亦很鮮美，絕對是新鮮才有的味道。一行七人只得一個前菜又怎會足夠，所以再來一道<<煎蟹肉餅>> (Blue swimmer crab cake)

味道：1. 那次是自助餐的形式。2. 記得第一份吃的食物是雞翼，不是炸的，但是都是外脆內軟。3. 那雞翼不但使我印象深刻，而且看到廚師煮的時候是煮出火的。環境：1. 有兩層，在第二層有一個廁所，只准一人使用，男女都是用該個。2. 在第二層看出去是銅鑼灣的風景，不過四周被建築物擋住了。3. 第二層，坐在椅子上，都可以看到廚師煮食物。衛生：1. 看到四周環境都十分乾淨的。抵食： 1. 那次是免費的，所以覺得好抵食。

地方環境唔差, d staff都好好serivce我地order 左一份牛排, 一份煎三文魚filet做main courses, 還order左個salad同白汁青口,,,,最後再加多個bread butter pudding.牛排煎得好好,,,,好有牛味,,足12安士,,,,,好抵三文魚filet,,,,可能本人本身唔多like咁食三文魚, 所以覺得無乜驚喜salad,,,好好味,佢係用blue chees的, 勁好味青口,,,,,又係好好味, 但好新鮮, 完全無那種"怪"味,,,,因在香港食青口,,,仲有咁味,,但在那裡吃的就完全無咁味,,,正!!!bread butter pudding,,,,,雖然個size係細左d,,,,,,但味道都係好好,,,好香butter味,,,還有好香的bread味,,,,加埋個ice-cream加上面, 一凍一熱, 放進入口的感覺真奇妙

不知不覺，已過立秋，卻還在寫年初的事。年初六，與一眾中環OR朋友吃午飯。坐在二樓，一張長檯三人對坐，座位相當舒適寬敞。午餐兩道菜包飲品賣98蚊，加30蚊還有甜品，以地方計，都幾合理。前菜3款，主菜4款，我們6個人，順理成章的要齊3款前菜，打孖上，另外主菜飛起了美式名菜「Surf and Turf」，亦採取同樣策略便行。前菜三款，鱒魚沙律、蟹肉蛋白荷包及bouillabaisse。本想分吃，但原來菜色擺放得精緻之餘，份量也非常的精緻，唯有一人認頭一款。我要了bouillabaisse，喝一口，不知何解，是非常強烈的罐頭沙甸魚的味道，已不對頭，不過都有不少魚塊蝦粒在內，作為餐湯，也不能要求過高。吃了一點鱒魚沙律，鱒魚雖然是凍的，但不腥，也不錯；主菜分別是羊肉串、煎封鴨腿及三文魚番紅花意大利飯。幾款試勻，羊肉串不韌，但也沒有什麼味道，蘸點薄荷喱，好一點。反而跟食友的意見相同，伴碟的薯蓉是又香又滑，吃了不少；煎封鴨腰煎得幾乾身，肉離骨，略嫌「柴皮」了一點，不過不失。今次又是伴碟的取勝，炸薯條做得熱辣辣又香脆，連那埋撈了沙律汁的火箭菜也不錯，又吃了不少；意大利飯就相當不濟，幾濕身，沒有咬口之餘，

+ 蠔是好好食的超鮮甜, 不過set死3款, 無得比你揀+ steak有"slightly smaller" portion, medium rare做得很好, 可是牛味不夠- steak上面加d crabmeat等於無加, d汁match牛唔match蟹, 無晒d鮮味, 浪費了+ 甜品係個apple crumble很有水準- 有個甜品叫pavlova很特別, 糖的souffle, 上面加了生果同埋熱情果醬, 得意, 但係唔係幾好食

我5 點正到, 想買件雜誌介紹過既Lemon Meringue Pie 試下.... 我一推門就有兩個係bar 臺既亞裔人仕好惡o甘話"it's closed". 都5 點啦, 門都開左啦, 吾洗甘惡?!o甘我咪同佢地講"I just want a Lemon Meringue Pie to take away". 好彩有個女waitress o黎幫我落order, otherwise 我又白行一趟!返到屋企試下個pie, 一般咋! 美國好普通既Baker Square 都好味好多! 仲要成$60 + 10% service charge ($66) 一件...... 我吾會再幫襯架啦!!

It's ever poor food I ever have in central restarant, I ordered the garden gree salad, crab cake, mignon steak, rib eye steak, apple crumble..and some glass of winesGren salad - the dressing was horrible and I can't even touch that..so called mustard honey dressingCrab cake - salty, salty and with rough crab meat, the cake was neither cripsyMignon steak - the only dish that's OK, but of course not good, the texture is tender but it tastes weiredRib-eye steak - very very salty salty....the textur

be careful if you want to book the restaurant for party or function holdingas my police friend informed that they always force you to give extra budget afterwardsand such case already sent to police yet

我最喜歡他們的蟹餅(Crab Cake)，啖啖蟹肉。另外，他們的招牌牛扖，咸咸地，很好味。
