咖哩葉 (佐敦)

I would like to raise a complaint for this restaurant which I just patronized this evening for dinner.

We two went to this restaurant for dinner tonight and we ordered one Masala Chicken $112, one Tikka Fish $120 and one Naan bread $20. 

We used the Entertainer offer in order to free one MAIN ITEM. When we checked the bill, the manager Mark told us that only Naan bread would be deducted from the bill as it is the MAIN ITEM which applied for the Entertainer offer.

This is ridiculous that Naan is the main item! This is totally a scam for us. How can they consider Naan is the Main Item just like a bowl of white rice is MAIN ITEM!!!! This is totally unacceptable and I was charged $257 instead of free a MAIN ITEM Masala Chicken for us.

Last but not lease, the staff knew I booked the table thru Openrice and should have 15% off even the MAIN ITEM couldn't be waived. But they didn't give us discount. Instead, just deducted $20. After the dinner, I called back to fight for this with Mark and he said it's me to tell him to use the Entertainer offer. That's why! Come on! customer always go for the higher discount. 

The employees here are tricky and I cannot find a reason to revisit although the food quality wasn't so bad. I will do a follow-up action for this definitely!

Common Room (中環)

I have not been making comment on this platform for ages. Nonetheless, this restaurant completely changed my mind.

We 2 pax came here for the Restaurant Week offer. $298/pax.

The hygiene of this restaurant was so digusting! I can't accept the waitress poured back the unfinished water to the jar and served other clients. It makes me so sick!!
Food was so-so but small in portion. We were just like filled up with snacks. Appetizers: Seafood Ceviche Salad and Lamb meatball. Salad was too acidic and meatball is way over gamey with spices. For the entrees, we picked Squid Ink Seafood Paella & “Tapas Combo” (Tray of Mac & Cheese, 1 Portobello Slider, 1 Waygu Slider). Paella wasn't come along with much taste of seafood such as prawn, squids and clamstaste. It's kinda detached.  Burgers tastes much better as well as mac & cheese. Rasberry cheesecake and chocolate pudding as an ending. Texture of cheesecake was more like mousse cake, not much into it. Chocolate pudding was rather outstanding. Sweetness was just on the spot with great texure.

The service was horrible when i spotted the scene as mentioned. Also, manpower wasn't sufficient;took us so long to order and check the bill.
I definitely won't come back.

猶記上年於同層的Brasserie on the Eighth過了一個愉悅的晚上.今年重施故技,阿梁的壽辰選址於Nicholini's.初嚐了約六百元的brunch buffet.12時許到達,訂了靠窗的二人座.跟鄰座的排位有點密集,乏私隱度.

侍應遞上主菜餐牌,選了鱈魚及羊架後,便動身向buffet桌那邊進發.巡視一圈,若要每一道菜淺嚐一口,肚皮大概會被撕裂...先進攻海鮮冷盤:波士頓,澳洲及本地龍蝦,虎蝦,琵琶蝦,蟹腳及即開美國生蠔,排場十足,唯可塑性非如期般高.而魚生壽司的鮮度則教人樂道!再移玉步,粥麵檔,意粉檔及數款正宗的印度咖哩足以俘虜了胃納7成空間.半飽下,再下一成,吃了若干款富麵包香,品性高的麵包.於座位發呆了頃刻,向侍應示意主菜隨時可奉上.pan-fried cod with teriyaki sauce; 鱈魚扒煎至八成熟,嫩度恰好,然而魚味乃屬泛泛之輩,以teriyaki sauce澆其上吃之,還吃得過去!阿梁的澳洲羊架看來細嫩,吃後感也跟賣相脗合,羶味輕,唯始終此等禽類跟我合不來,無謂硬幹!

主菜的環節完結,已有11成飽,輕嚐了數款蛋糕,質素不怎麼了,真走運!

服務方面,侍應該是戴了特製眼鏡,對其熟客獻殷勤的畫面昭然易見!

結案陳詞,服務及食物均不及Nicholini's,但已可媲美不少同級的酒店餐廳!

地獄5月接近尾聲,可預知的6月該是十八層地獄的最低層.

善用"提早"下班的黃金時段,跟阿梁匆促的到了新世紀上覓食,為的是避開人流.見此店餐牌上尚對味,便讓帶位員引領下坐進靠牆的二人座. 深紅的光線跟淨白的桌椅,格格不入.光線更教人不太開懷. 無論如何,咱們點了洋蔥湯, 蟹籽沙律,鵝肝薄餅及意大利飯.

眾食物的賣相看來不錯,無奈一吃便能顯然分高下, 洋蔥湯味道淡薄如水, 蟹籽蟹肉沙律份量小家,鵝肝薄餅餅底硬崩崩,配料原味不強, 意大利飯味道還鮮,飯粒始終吃得出非上等貨.

配合機械式的招呼,大概無必要再來受苦罷...

文輝,久聞其墨丸的精彩. 試後感:墨丸的確彈牙,唯粉感不輕.再嘗扎肉,水餃及墨魚鬚, 味道談不上怎麼天仙的味道.但令人深刻的是守門口的黑面阿叔,愛理不理的服務,得到的當然是沒吃回頭草的食客(最少本人不會重訪).
