近期真的忙得透不過氣來，發現有很多開始了的食評都趕不及在30天前更新而被刪掉嗚嗚...

功課、考試、Projects、Presentations、工作面試等等全都佔據了我的時間表，想找天多睡一會兒也不行。不過我明白﹕No pay, no gain. 現在這磨練對日後工作必定有很大幫助，讓我更懂分配時間，在壓力中成長。很興幸來到現在就讀的學校訓練，雖然大家都說在這裡念書辛苦、大壓力，但我倒認為學校提供我們很多機會。唉時間過得真快，原來已到大二尾聲了，好捨不得啊!

然而怎麼今天有如此興緻更新近況呢 ﹖其實是因為下星期有實習面試機會，我想大概是時候練習練習中文打字以及詞彙運用，哈哈，這裡是我練習中文的最佳平台，而且我是真的太愛吃了!

而這陣子不知道是否壓力大，總是很想找吃的，明明早幾天正趕回家溫習會計，路經美心時眼睛又不小心瞄到了新品 - 伯爵茶雪芳蛋糕，沒辦法... Cherriehui 看著它就似雙眼發光(不發胖也太難吧)，哎唷! 溫書是要吃點甜才更有動力! 就把它連同斑蘭口味也買回家，留待下午茶享用。先吃斑蘭雪芳蛋糕，雖然都吃過了沒什麼驚喜，但蛋糕依然濕潤鬆軟，不太甜，有陣陣斑蘭香，簡單不花巧，個子比Toast Box的大，$14 一件/$21 兩件，小師奶認為美心感覺較化算。可惜是，期待已久的伯爵茶口味令人失望。蛋糕口感如斑蘭口味一樣軟綿，略遜是茶味依稀，味道較斑蘭味甜，又或是小妹真的被Tony Wong 的伯爵茶曲奇寵懷了 令人對別家的伯爵茶甜點失去興趣，實在太奸了!!!!

不過，溫習期間有蛋糕吃已是極大的安慰。唉... 希望下星期的面試順順利利，看來我中文打字的速度真的慢得太過分，總是要先打『原』才找到『來』，要先打『雞』才找到『蛋』，很多時候更要到Yahoo 字典輸入英文找到中文那詞，大家也有這個情況嗎﹖= =

ahhh it's been such a long time since I last update! Anyway my schedule has been super packed. There were so much to deal with such as school work, exams, recruitment talks and trainings, stuff to do with ECA.... urghhhh honestly sometimes I just wish to be staying in bed on a Sunday morning and have a big breakfast when I get up without anything 'urgent' in mind. Just relax and chill.It was actually a really pleasant family activity on a Sunday morning. We were arranged to be sitted next to the glass wall with a gleam o sunshine beaming in.

This is the first time I tried the brunch menu in City Art. Unfortunately I have not written any reviews for weekday lunch. For more details of the dinner menu, please refer to http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2237601

The buffet bar was pretty fruitful. Tha bar was showcasing more 10 different types of mouth watering salads, including seafood-mixed ones, grilled tomato and herbs, assorted mushroom salad, chicken prawn salad... etc. You can also make your own salad as they provide you with plenty of veggie choices. Beside the salad bar we have the oysters and the seafood. Here serves 3 types of oysters, one less compared to the dinner buffet - Auckland Rock from New Zealand , Fanny Bay and Taylor from US. My favouite was Fanny Bay since it is not as buttery as Auckland Rock, while the Taylor was too briny and metallic for, almost as robust as Coffin Bay from Australia. Fanny Bay was just right. Light and delectable.I have also tried some queen crab. The meat was flaky, succulent and honeyed. but the crab legs are not as fat as other buffet places. These are slightly slender. They provide you with the necesary tools to taste the crab. It felt awesome when opening up the tough shell and forking out a huge chunk of fresh crab meat! Mum, Dad and I were getting all excited about this. Scallops were not bad too. Size was massive and the flesh was sweet and moist.On the other side of the buffet area, they had the cold cut, cheeses and fruits and nuts that go with them, various bread and dips etc. The choice of cold cut was wark compared to the dinner and weekday lunch semi-buffet menu, with coppa and salami served as well. Though it is not bad for a Sunday brunch (and too be honest I don't have much room for trying out all the ham and cheese ) Ham and melon always make the perfect match. The ham very thinly cut this time so it is much easier to chew. Parma ham was smokey and savory. Though the aroma of the pork itself is lacking.

For cheese, I tried emmental and French brie. Emmental was mellow and full-bodied, while brie was lacking the creaminess.My favourite deep was crab meat dip and guacamole. Crab meat on its own with bread is a bit too heavy for me, while served with guacamole makes a great balance together.

It's funny that they serve poppadoms too! But there was no chutney to go with it. I would suggest to have a few dips that are more refreshing since most we see here are mixed heavily in mayo or cream.They were serving roast sirloin and smoked turkey. The Sirloin was perfectly cooked with flesh in pink. The meat was juicy and flavoursome, while the texture is extremely tender. It was gorgeously done.Aside the appetizers, hot dishes such as beef curry and rice, Belgium blue mussels in cream sauce, baked lobster and shrimp with deep cheese sauce etc. were also served. The blue messels was scrumptious and chewy, where the cream sauce was balmy and delicious. Simply finger licking good.The A la Carte menu consists of assorted Sashimi, Tempura and Robatayaki. We ordered some salmon mackerel for tasting. The salmon was fresh and delectable, while macherel was a little tough.The fritter coat of the tempura was very thin, but it was just not crunchy enough. The prawn was light and appetising. Though my favourite was tempura pumkin slice (I know I am nut about pumpkin) The thin fritter coating was a little crisp on the edges, the the pumpkin inside was mushy and it just melts in your mouth. It was so good! We order wagyu and cod robatayaki. I think cod was the best because it was full of fish oil. It would be even better if the skin is not burnt so I can have a taste on the crispy fish skin! Wagyu was tender and moist but the buttery, meaty taste was lacking. It comes in large pieces which is actually quite filling for a girl like me.

眾多壽司店中，小妹最愛怪獸壽司，喜歡它用料新鮮，魚生抵食，店來環境舒適。晚市餐版款式較多，而午市定食則相當經濟，不用一百元就能享用一道豐富午膳，包括前菜、沙拉、主食、茶碗蒸、Miso、甜品和飲料，在尖沙咀店吃過多次，但用手機拍下的照片總未能令小妹滿意，所以遲遲沒有分享。是天Regina和其姊妹Vivien前臨香港逛街，心想作為澳門英國留學生大概很少機會嘗到日本菜，自己又對此店食品的水準有信心，就介紹她來這裡享用午餐，順道拍拍照，與大家分享吞食怪獸的滋味。

第一次光臨銅鑼灣店，卡位依然寬闊如尖咀店，中央有張大回轉檯，裝修如其他分店一樣，燈光較暗但有格調。

三個胃口小的女生點了兩套午市定食、一客鰻魚壽司和一客黑松露野菌鵝肝玉子分吃。先送上雜錦魚生丼定食，樣子吸引。前菜是薄脆蓮偶，清清地，不錯。

茶碗蒸雞蛋滑溜溜，濃重的雞味和香菇，味道不太甜，似中式水蛋，內裏有雞肉粒、雜菌和蟹柳，非常豐富。簡單的沙拉配小妹愛的胡麻醬，新鮮可口。

味豉湯不過不失，水準平平。魚生飯刺身份量超多，中央有一大份肥美海膽，色澤金黃，十分新鮮。魚生粒中希靈魚份量較多，玉子較少，與尖沙咀出品的那充滿三文魚、立魚和吞拿魚的雜錦魚生飯略有差異，但此店提供的海膽份量則慷慨，依然是我的最愛。另一份午市定食是Monster 丼，咦？是不是忘了放海膽？？不過沒關係啦，幸好其他配料夠份量，鵝肝粒煎得剛好，入口溶化，甘香味美，吞拿魚茸伴壽司飯同吃亦十分滋味，而刺身片仍然新鮮。這樣幾個女孩子分吃可以嘗到多款不同的配料，實在令超級貪吃胃納又小的在下大大大滿足！！！！Vivien另點了鰻魚壽司，小妹早前嘗過，肉嫩肥美，賣相與其差異不大，厚肉而且色澤對版。個人對玉子興趣不大，總認為日式玉子甜甜的，很古怪。不過這客黑松露野菌鵝肝玉子配搭新穎，就膽粗粗嘗嘗它到底是什麼料子！一吃下去，玉子比想像中嫩滑，雖然沒有蛋汁，但口感滑溜。鵝肝和野菌份量適中，餘韻有少許松露香，略遜的只是稍甜的玉子碰上甘香的鵝肝和濃香的松露味道錯綜複雜，有點過於花巧。最後埋尾是一杯香濃即磨咖啡和柚子慕絲蛋糕。柚子蛋糕酸酸甜甜，慕絲香滑輕身，小小的一件比尖沙咀分店提供的軟皮profiteroles更有誠意。丶不太苦，不加糖更美味。

難得好朋友前來香港，沒有什麼特別熱情的款待真不好意思了XDXD （不過我想妳不會介意吧，不竟重點是來見我，對不對？）幸好怪獸出品的日菜一點也不失禮，小妹也吃得津津有味。兩份定食、壽司和一客玉子，「無飯」家庭出身的我也認為「KO無難道」，因為真的很好吃。是天也很高興認識了Regina的好姊妹Vivien，久聞大名哈哈！細說下發現原來在澳門人心目中，來香港指定要品嚐的菜式居然是燒鵝瀨！
「鏞記或裕記的？」
「不！我呀媽話求其縱入一間都好好味，黎親都要食！！」
又嘩言香港出品凍檸茶比澳門的味道好多了。身為本地人，除吃膩了學校提供的那些禿飯時會久不久吞碗燒味瀨，還有每年為肚子進貢三兩杯凍檸茶外，真的甚少用心欣賞過這類本土特產。每天都尋求新味道、新嘗試，原來最簡單、飽肚又味美的經已在左近，卻時常被忽略，小妹果真身在福中不知福。

在香港最友好的朋友，莫過於大學那群婆仔和小學時期的女孩們，經營十多年的友誼，幸好從未因畢業後各散東西而變質。每逢大假期總會約出來聚聚，一展歌藝、煮飯仔，又或是在麻雀檯上切磋切磋，每次聚首總有談不完的話題，就算樣子變成熟了，個子長高了，一碰面，大家好像變回小朋友一樣，純真的感覺都瞬間跑回來。

是天幾位女孩子相約來個火鍋聚，天氣冷最好打邊爐，哈哈！可是小妹因特如其來的莊務而遲到了半小時多，真的很對不起！四位女孩子點了32球雪糕火鍋（$328）一同分吃，再談談近期的八卦事，真窩心。等候了近40分鐘，繽紛的雪糕球以及朱古力溶漿終於送上了，真是久候多時或許幾乎每檯都點雪糕火鍋，店子又嚴重人手不足，也沒辦法。雪糕分別有八種口味，包括綠茶、芒果、菠蘿、草莓、曲奇、朱古力、朱古力曲奇和雲尼拿，水果則有草莓和香蕉，賣相新鮮，不過Refill水果要多付$80，寒蟲們都笑言待回回家吃水果較經濟。待一群龍友餵飽相機後，還等什麼？Dig In 吧！起初還擔心魚蛋size的雪糕球會被雪得過硬而變得冰感十足，幸好仍能保持滑溜，而外層冷卻後變脆皮，雙重口感，滋味無窮。最愛綠茶口味，清優的茶香遇上濃重而不太甜的朱古力，最喜歡這個配搭。或許你會想，女孩子嘛，天南地北裝身打扮通通都能談個半天來，但事實是，真正的快樂和滿足是當你找到幾位交心好友，在他們面前可以做回自己，多粗魯、巴喳他們都會接受你，那幾位人兄會常常取笑你、玩弄、責備你，但當你最需要開解和安慰時他們總在附近支持你。十年並非短時間，古語有云，人生有多少個十年呢？這些年來感激有你們，希望往後的數個十年也有你們陪伴我走過。

早前在團購看到這家特色意菜小店，嘗嘗傳統意式平民菜Piadina？好啊！重點是那二人餐才$99，三道菜連兩杯飲品，十分超值，滿足胃納之餘又能省錢，何樂而不為呢？？

店子位於荷里活道，絕世鄉下妹的我找了很久才到達小店呢！店子空間有限，大概一時只能容納十位客人，開放過式廚房就在Bar檯後，只有兩位大廚和一位侍應，要吃好東西就得耐心等待了。
