估唔到之前好鐘意食既Balalaika已經執左咁耐...為左表示對佢既喜歡, 所以我要出番一篇文先!精緻的攏設, 厚身的三文魚配三文魚籽, 魚子醬又濃又香唔會過咸, 千層塔沙律設計獨特, 好有趣~侍應等待燒雞中哇~~~好壯觀呀! 燒完都唔記得左影就食了, 佢地既雞又嫰滑又香, 適量香料又令雞肉更好味, 好食過法國燒春雞呢!另外既配菜魚同蝦等等都好新鮮, 味道好鮮好彈牙, 感覺得出店主既真誠之後仲入左黎試一試零下18度飲VODKA, VODKA令個人變得好熱, 但冰室又超級凍, 真係清新又刺激既體驗呢!

為了準備男友的生日飯,事前已經做足準備功夫原先想book另一間食瑞士菜的,但最後都full哂~所以轉移陣地,見呢一間食俄羅斯菜的餐廳環境不錯,而且蠻有特色一是order了串燒會係你面前即時燒,服務員會推架車仔埋黎,然後係你面前淋上酒精在串燒上好似一個表演咁~另一個特別之處是餐廳內有一個冰窖,客人可以穿上餐廳提供的皮草入內喝酒當晚7點半到達一流的用餐環境,而且服務也令人賓至如歸,實在令人一讚點了兩個俄羅斯飽, 售錢$12/個一客是三文魚,一客則是玉桂味味道還不錯,甜甜的玉桂味很香,服務員還叮囑我們趁熱吃我們也點了一客牛尾湯,服務員也很細心地為我們分開了兩客不一會,重頭戲來了,就是我們點的串燒美國西冷牛扒,是日精選服務員推來車仔,然後在附近的服務員也會一起吶喊之後就將酒倒在串燒上,火焰直達天花他們也為我們合照了串燒牛扒$360,有些薯仔伴菜至於味道方面,牛扒配了三個醬,有芥辣,薄荷還有一種不知名的~牛扒燒得有點乾,肉質不亂..相比起早前和男友在sogo買的一塊$2xx的肉眼,實在是差很遠沒有那種很juicy的感覺,味道一般羊仔柳拼羊架俄羅斯飯很不錯,羊仔柳很嫩且香俄羅斯飯有少許汁,用的香料也梃特別,但嫌飯少了點肉卻有很多~~吃到差不多,突然有兩個俄羅斯人奏著音樂~此時,服務員為男友送上蛋糕和生日歌男友很驚喜!之後便是送禮物時間吃過晚飯就穿上皮草,入冰窖拍照留念本想推介此餐廳給其他食客,誰不知已經結業了...實在有點可惜

一來到, 便ORDER了vodka, , 參觀一下冷藏酒庫.叫了麵包, 一個starter, 兩個主菜, 一個dessert.麵包兩件, 一件是三文魚餡, 一件是雜菌, 後者味道較佳.酸忌廉魚子醬蘑菰, 味道非常突別...我的aristocratic trout 為錫紙包著焗魚, 魚是一整條的, 肉地非常嫩, 顫底有類似白汁煮的海鮮, 有蜆肉魷魚等. 吃得很飽.朋友的海鮮串燒即場淋上酒()燒起來, 火焰直衝天花板. 海鮮包括銀鱈魚, 三文魚, 大蝦等, 還有雜菜一起上. 味道只是一般.最後要了個Russian Pudding, Pudding 個body是很輕情很軟滑的雲呢拿mousse類物體, 伴上覆盤子+黑加侖子汁和鋪面的lady fingers, 入口非常討好.食物不是驚為天人的美味. 但令人賓至如歸的服務, 加上一流的用餐環境(還有即場有侍應以中英俄三國語言為壽星仔女賀生日...), 令此頓飯物有所值.

星期一，約左好耐無見的一個好朋友午聚談談近況，見都有一輪下晝無來呢度食午餐，而又好似開左幾間新舖，就兩個人來試試。為何間間唔去，要來二樓呢度？查實係樓下負責招徠位侍應姐姐樣子幾標緻，我地兩個離遠已鎖定目標，二話不說就坐了進來，連幾錢都無睇，所以你話包裝幾咁重要呢。呢度好坐，地方新淨又幾有特色，唔食野，叫杯野坐低傾計也是好地方。我們坐在近街的位置，居高臨下望住蘭桂坊，唔食飯入夜來飲野都應該好正。呢度午餐可以齋選主菜，或主菜加頭盤或湯，或主菜加頭盤加甜品，亦即是全餐。價錢由78蚊至108蚊，吃得多俾得多，都算公道。我們都要了全餐，頭盤要了羊肉薯仔沙律餃子及炸豬手，主菜要了燴羊肉及豬柳。先來法包，雖然普通貨色，但熱熱算幾好。炸豬手熱辣辣，是即炸的。因為連皮炸，吃起來很是肥美，怕肥的一定視之如蛇吞象，但豬手皮是非常豐腴味美的。豬手肉鹹鹹地，肉質都唔錯。伴以忌廉菠菜汁，好滑好夠味，除了伴豬手外，雖然齋吃略鹹，但用法包點菠菜汁來吃就剛剛好；羊肉薯仔沙律餃子賣相都幾好，朋友話味道都不錯；主菜的燴羊肉跟飯，賣相幾中式的柱侯牛白腩，外表看來麻麻。吃落反而不錯，味道幾濃郁，臊味不重，相信少吃羊肉的朋友也可以應付。羊肉是羊腩，肉質不差，燴得夠腍又不失咬口，不錯。我不是飯桶，但碟飯確是偏少，吃了一半羊肉已經唔夠飯，唯有叫佢拿多一點來。朋友的豬柳看起來是平平無奇，朋友話吃起來也是平平無奇，叫過第二樣好過；甜品是喱及Sorbet，我的喱吃不出特別何在，朋友的Sorbet 也不見佳處，似乎呢度的主菜好味過甜品。加埋杯熱咖啡，吃得幾飽。侍應招呼唔錯，幾好笑容。埋單二百四十蚊，價錢略貴，想找處地方好坐一點的，也無不可。

It was a great night! Nice dinner, nice service by friendly staffs, entertaining performance by the Russian musicians, well environment by nice decoration (Halloween theme) and the signature -20C ice room in this house made the night!I especially like the Russian ornaments in gzhel style placed in the restaurant. Gzhel, a brand of Russian ceramics, painted with the distinctive blue and white pottery. It reminded me the old Tang dynasty also produced something similar, which is fabulously artistic. The Russian musicians dressed up in traditional Russian costumes. When they started playing the Russian folk music, it created such lovely Russian countryside atmosphere, the Russian night began:We started the appetizer with a big platter of mixed combination. From left to right, we had the Smoked Salmon Roll with Red Caviar and Cream, Cold Pork Jelly in Russian Style and Smoked Duck Breast with the Cranberry Sauce. The whole dish looked presentable and rich in ingredients. I especially like the cold pork Jelly, tasted special and savory in its texture.Following the Ox-tail Borstch, which is one of the famous dishes here that highly recommended by my friend: “this is a must try item if you once visit here”. No doubt, very rich and strong taste of ox, plus the sweet taste of Beetroot and Tomato ( yumyum). I like it! We had ordered some stuffed bread to taste with. When the bread came, I was surprised by how delicious they were! Warm and soft while the ingredients inside tasted lovely! Then the main dishes arrived accordingly, the Siberian Dumplings with the mixture of Pork and Beef. They’re way too meaty but still fine, sweet and juicy. The spaghetti with wild mushroom in cream sauce came after it. It’s very strong in cheese taste! I like it that the texture of spaghetti is smooth and thin. Very nice!The last main dish arrived and it was huge! The Chef performed how he open-field fired the sirloin steaks on a vertical rotating spit in front of us, which was very exciting and interesting! It also showed us how fresh it was! After it, the Chef sliced the meats off a rotating vertical spit and put them on a big plate presentably. Within the same platter, there were a delicious spring chicken, baby pork ribs and grilled Sole Fillet with seasonal veggies. It’s a big dish combined beef, pork, chicken and fish, which satisfied all wants in once. After we’ve done all the above, we moved to the ice room and enjoyed the shots of vodka, I simply love having to wear the furry coats in the -20C ice room. It made me felt like tasting the local vodka in real Russia, which’s awesome!I think it’s quite fantastic to have such theme restaurant creating dining area, while serving an isolated area for creating another mood of drinking. It’s not common to have such restaurant in HK and I wish more of such kind of thematic restaurants will happen to come and boost up our tourism. Indeed, it really attracts people to visit more often. I especially wanna say thank you to a staff, who helped us to bring our wheelchair walked up to the upper floor. (since this restaurant is located on the 2nd floor and it doesn’t serve any lifts, people can only walk the stairs) It’s totally out of his duties but he made it, which was really impressive and nice of him, thank you. I see the friendly atmosphere and helpful service of the staffs here, which many local restaurants do not have.
