The News Room Diner (Closed)

從前，我對太古的認識，只有太古方糖同太古城。後來，多了太古坊的出現，令本是船塢及工業區的鰂魚涌變成了一個時尚的新商業中心。亦因為這樣，太古坊內同周邊的舊區，出現了非一般的生氣。 從前的我們，絕對不會為了食飯而來到鰂魚涌，但今時今日，午間的鰂魚涌，除了是太古坊工作人士之福之外，在北角工作的大眾，也會搭幾個站的 "叮叮" 來到這一頭，享用一些較高質素的午餐。 這一天，因為要找朋友幫忙辦點事，在該區工作的朋友就說在《The News Room Diner》訂了檯，我們邊談事，邊品味一頓美國式的午餐。 餐廳的設計是十分傳統的，但牆上的圖畫好似是一個大師級的作品。不過，讓我想起的，是一隻老牌字檸檬糖。是什麼牌子? 大家記唔記得，有一隻一吃酸都標眼淚，但越食會越會的奇怪糖果 "Super Lemon"呢。 餐單，其實是很正常不過的美國餐。而當中有好幾個好有趣的 Combo 套餐，全是以國際級老牌紅星來命名，看起來好特別，但是，看一看內容，其實也就是普普通通的美式肉食餐。只不過用上了明星，標奇立異而已。 我點的套餐是 "The James Dean" (占士甸)。人物我不介紹了，只說食物。套餐我

The News Room is always one of the best places to have a business lunch with clients. I went for their no-brainer business lunch set today. Salad/SoupIn their lunch set, you may choose between salad and soup and I went for their salad, while their soup was tomato cream soup on that day. All greens are fresh and crispy and the dressing was just enough which was also not too sour, sweet, or savoury. Fish PlatterAmong all other chicken, beef options, I chose the fish one which was a mix of grilled

星期六晚想搵地方飲杯嘢，周圍都好多人，有朋友提議去鰂魚涌太古坊，假日果然好少人。夜晚九點前都仲有 happy hour! 星期六喎！啤酒只不過係$4x，又冇逼你要花生，係幾抵飲，環境好靜，方便傾計，講嘢唔使同啲人聲，音樂聲鬥大聲，但另一方面就冇酒吧啲好chill 嘅感覺，所以睇你想要咩環境啦。

Growing up, I used to think of a chicken sandwich as a joyless meal. That was until I'd met far superior versions of the classic sandwich at such places such as Fuku in NYC, Sylvain in New Orleans, or Hot Star Fried Chicken in HK/TW. Heck, even chain sandwiches, Nando's, Chik-fil-a, Bojangles, etc make a darn good chicken sandwich.The version at the News Room Diner reminded me of why I hated the dish as a child. Desiccate, flavorless, breast meat chicken on greasy toast with a perfunctorily limp

I went there for lunch with friends and the chicken burger was awful for the price! it was tasteless and felt like I was eating at a fast food restaurant. The rest of the side dishes were so ordinary tasting. all my friends thought it was horrible and we left to get dessert elsewhere.

lunch 突然好想食西餐，放任下自己較高返小小budget 先Lunch set 大約百幾蚊，簡左steak 個set, 加埋一200蚊左右la, 雖然以lunch 黎講唔平，但計返餐廳d quality 其實係okay 既前菜可以簡salad or soup, 我簡左salad 主菜steak 簡左5成熟，8oz 肉好厚應該簡medium rare...所以都有d 硬要切好細塊同咬好耐。而我又好唔好彩咁中左件勁多根既扒，老實講都幾失望 side dish 薯條同沙律菜反而好出色，唉 本身食完steak 灰灰地，不過個甜品又好正求返我d 心情，女仔係鍾意甜品既 見其他人簡既好似更出色，唔好灰心，下次試第樣啦！！！

周三小周末，工作過後偕同三位朋友到鰂魚涌 The News Room Diner，打算晚飯前先歇腳喝酒聊天。Happy hour menu 裡的 draught beer 款式不多，而紅白酒都只見大眾級別的選擇。當然，你不應於優惠時段抱有期望，因為沒有期望便沒有失望啊。況且今夜只為聚舊不為品酒。可是店裡環境非常吵雜，以正常聲量交談非常困難，感覺有如到了大排檔或者熟食中心。稍有飢餓感覺，點了一客炸薯皮。店員送來薯皮之時，四人都為這薯皮的份量膛目結舌。幸而，薯肉溫熱，配煙肉粒與蔥粒等 toppings 味道稍算合格。未有試過 The News Room Diner 的晚餐，但相信正常情況下，我不會來（不敢）嘗試。

Rainy moody Wednesday 抱住平常心去Newsroom 食lunch。同明友各點左一個set ，每個set有三個 courses。三文魚salad - salmon 太薄,有d欺場，而沙律份量太少。但讚在料夠新鮮。 Pasta with prawns - d茄汁長通粉出奇地好味，食得出d sauce 唔係茄汁,而係真蕃茄蓉。長通粉無overcook! 長通粉堅挺易入口,加上少少彈牙,做得唔錯。 甜名出奇地好食。細細個又夠香濃牛奶味,配埋草莓醬簡直一絕! 唔好一般無牛奶味既hea 甜品! 食完個lunch ，個mood 都好似okay 返

幾年前喺呢度同準上司初次見面，淨係飲咗杯咖啡，之後每朝番工都經過，但都未入過去幫襯；到今日last day，有個好好嘅管理層同事請我哋食lunch，終於認認真真咁食下啲主食我哋每人叫咗個set lunch，有湯或沙津選擇，而主菜就有4-5樣嘢揀... 我自己揀咗湯，是日靚湯係磨菇湯，面頭有幾點麵包糠，當然要趁佢仲脆要拿拿聲放入口啦！磨菇打成嘅忌廉湯，雖然有磨菇味，但唔太濃，湯比較稀同味淡。 沙津上面有天隻溫泉蛋（好在我無叫，我係唔鍾意食蛋嘅），同事話個沙津好好味，可以理解到嘅，鍾意食蛋嘅人將蛋汁同菜撈埋一齊食，又鮮又juicy，應該好啱口胃 主菜到喇！牛扒（五成熟），一個字牛扒淋身，容易切又容易咬，只用鹽同胡椒醃面，唔落汁都好好味最歡喜係食落陣陣香烤味，完全唔膩！薯條都好脆呀！ 卡邦尼意粉，我無留意餐牌有無寫明，但一上檯就覺得用黑松露煮卡邦尼好意外！意粉煮得剛剛好，唔硬唔軟，卡邦尼汁蓋咗少少黑松露嘅gas味，而黑松露又調節咗卡邦尼汁好膩嘅感覺，用四字成語嚟形容就叫「相得益彰」我哋仲叫咗個魚，外面以煙肉包住，上面有啲露荀同芒果做嘅汁，底有啲薯蓉。同事嘅評價係魚有啲雪藏味，魚肉可以再滑啲，

Went here because I saw Ravioli on the menu.Ordered it, but when it came, it was evidently Tortellini and not Ravioli.The taste was ok but the carrots and broccoli were a bit hard.Tried it the next day cooked in tomato sauce and it was delicious.

It seems that food less than $50 in Quarry Bay won’t taste good.Went to News Room which has now become a takeaway joint for chicken Schnitzel and chips but the chicken was dry and there was no cheese in the middle.The fries were a bit salty and they put salt and black pepper in it by default, which ruined it.I would have chosen fish and chips but the fish were already fried and sitting there to be re-fried again.

Having meetings often in the Quarry Bay area allows me to go visit restos that I have always wanted to try but never made the effort to travel all the way there. The News Room has always been on my wishlist since its opening, and I finally get to try their food the other day. It was a sponsored lunch as well coz it was for work purpose! How exciting!For starter, you can pick between Carrot Soup (a definite no go for me) and Shrimps and Aloe Salad. The salad leaves were fresh as predicted, dresse

今天鬼仔話請食飯，也太開心吧!因為甜宝宝己2歲多，可以明天上學去!所以他應該感到兒子長大了，也太高興吧!所以我們一家四口高高興興去 the news room dinner到了七時，己很多人!原來大部份也跑來Happy hour, 晚餐6百元2位，我們4人点了4個餐!環境裝修也很西化，可以說是酒吧餐廳吧!三文魚沙津比較簡單，三文魚厚厚一片，没太大驚喜!青豆湯顏色濃濃的但也太淡而無味!嫲嫲和鬼仔點了牛扒，他們要的都是三成熟，牛扒份量很大，但太多肥肉，嫲嫲切掉了四分三，祇剩下四分一可吃，也太失望吧!這時侯後面來了一枱十人，聲音大如雄鍾，說着難聽不咸不淡的英語，真的吵到全餐廳都不能說話，連我們旁邊八個外國人也靜下來!我要的主菜鱸魚剛捧上，口感一般，但薯仔千層的配答不錯!妹妹叫的意大利飯做得很棒，挑口的妹妹讚不絕口!我點了一杯暖暖的綠茶，茶味香濃，妹妹又恐嚇我說今晚又怕要失眠吧!全晚我最欣賞反而是朱古力慕斯蛋糕，朱古力味香濃，慕斯在口中融化，感覺也太正吧!但最令人難受是整晚的嘈音比飲茶更吵，這真是我們意料之外的，所以我們坐了一小時就立即離開了!

周六中午，與好友相約來到這家鰂魚涌的美食餐廳，News room，一聽這個名字就覺得特別適合當記者的我們！到時已經1點，店裡沒什麼人，服務員非常熱情地迎接我們坐下。店內環境偏暗，壁紙畫風奔放，是個小聚的好地方。我們點了一個沙拉，有生菜，牛油果，雞蛋，番茄和雞胸肉，加了blue cheese，味道卻並不濃郁，搭配之後入口舒適。緊接著送上和牛漢堡，漢堡的個頭不大，但內容豐富，牛肉和培根一起咬下，感覺嘴裡充滿肉香，肉質很嫩，最愛其中的芝士！！！最後一道菜是燒排骨，同樣驚艷！而且看起來就非常誘人，吃起來不會很鹹，也不會太甜，正合口味。三道菜分別價格98/148/188，兩個女生吃分量正好。多謝好友推薦！

同幾位朋友一齊dinner, 所以沒叫上 set dinner, 以每款叫一些 share 來食。餐廳的光亮氣氛是暗的, 人多時都不會好嘈,這飲料酸甜的,口感不錯白汁濃郁,,好食漢堡包足料,,可與朋友一同share.
