Lily & Bloom (中環)

So on 22 of Oct, I dined out with my friend at the Lily & Bloom. It located at the center of Lang Kwai Fong, which is very easy to locate, just a few minutes walked from central MTR. Arrived at the restaurant, it was at first glance very classy with a decorative title, 'Bloom.' We are directed to a table at the centre on the first floor. The appearance of the restaurant as a whole gave off a cozy yet classy feeling, successfully creating a very vintage vibe with a large champange light attached to the ceiling.

We settled down and the waiter politely served us with a cold sparkling water with lemon inside and the menu as well. It was a total full set menu with cocktails, appetizer, main course and deserts. We spent a few minutes and finally ordered one full set, i.e. The Mad Hatter as cocktails, Cedar River Beek Tartare as appetizer, Chicken & Waffle as main course, Short Rib Mac N' Cheese and the sundays icecream as desert. 

First, the Mad Hatter includes ingredients like earl grey infuse four pillars dry gin, sipsmith summer cup, cardoamom, lemon, rhubarb bitters and vanilla extract. This cocktail is served with a Chinese style tea cup. I thought it will be very bitter and tastes like tea at the first sight, however, to my surprise, the cocktail tasted like orange juice with lime and citrus. It was quite sweet and tasty with a good balance and the taste of alcohol would not be too heavy as well. Great drinks! Yet, one thing I think the restaurant can improve about the Mad Hatter is that the quantity is rather small. You may need to order two to three cups before you are satisfied with it. Still, I definitely recommend this drink to all of you. Amazing!

In view of the Cedar River Beek Tartare, to my disappointment, the taste of meat is so weird which it tastes like raw meat, though it is really a raw one, but I think the texture is weird and I don't really like it. My friend thought it is ok. For the Chicken & Waffle, it was quite heavy for two girls to finish the whole set whilst for men, it was fair. The combination of chicken and waffles is quite fresh to me since it is quite special to see such combination and the texture is very new that you wil never expect something like these served together. To a contrary, the texture of the chicken is a bit dry and I suggest some sauces can be served as dishes.

What is more, the Short Rib Mac N' Cheese is very cheesy and the balance of it is quite nice. I have tried other Mac N' Cheese somewhere else and it was too over and full. All in all, the cheese is rich and it was nice to have it after the chicken.

Last, the desert sundays ice cream is the finest touch of the whole featured set menu. The ice cream is so creamy and silky with dressings on top. Served with the Mad Hatter, it was delicate and delicious.

In general, the attitude of the waiters should get complimented as they served you with real heart and they will also asked for comments and gave out a lot of information of the food. You will feel very welcomed. Besides, they are also very willing to help take photos for us as some restaurant disguised such actions. The whole set is around 900 dollars, which for a fine dining, it was acceptable. It was a nice experience and the perfect dining place for couples to have anniversary. 

平成二十二日本料理 (尖沙咀)

(開動了文青mode，扮下文青)

民以食為天，每次跟朋友聚會，我們都會選擇有人氣而且屢獲好獲的餐廳，在「開飯啦」食評網人氣高企的平成二十二是我們是晚的選擇。雖然沒有豪華的裝修設計，但當我坐下來後不久，侍應阿姨就殷勤地對我們說：「雪櫃裡有汽水，可以自己拿喔。」令我有溫暖的感覺，事實上來裡的服務比起一般食肆絕對是不錯的。

在日式料理放題的餐廳裡，其實在食物你質素上也有高下可分，除了食物種類多元化，各種食物的也應有一定的質素，而不是傾重於某一種食材，這裡便做到這一點了！各式各樣魚生大概是日式放題的主角，新鮮是唯一的指標，這裡的魚生刺身出奇地新鮮，我敢說在同類餐廳裡是比上不足比下有餘，打敗很多中低價日式放題餐廳。熟食例如自家製餃子、碗仔翅、烏冬等等都有住家菜式的味道，各種炸物尤其炸南瓜餅都十分出色，還有那裡的串燒如燒冬菇串和燒羊鞍都令我涶涎三尺！

食放題要留時間，一來因為有限時，二來因為不同時段有不同收費，各位注意!

瀛喜日本料理 (元朗)

又好耐冇寫過食評, 亦都好耐冇放過題! 今日食到入黎元朗,班FRIEND特登揀呢間放題,話好多好評, 唔怕唔好食咁話喎!
去到門口, 真係多人到爆,好在有BOOK位, 唔係都唔知等到幾點班友話好鬼肚餓,一開波就叫左牛肉烏冬,心唸, 唔係化, 咁飽肚?估唔到又幾好味喎,D邊爐肥牛半肥半瘦勁惹味LOL番茄辣酒煮蜆雖然幾辣,但夠晒惹味,可惜得果2,3粒, 唔夠喉要叫多轉!估唔到佢個必食辛辣魷魚鬚又係勁辣,味道係唔錯又有咬口,但班fd以為佢係酒樓炸魷魚,下次都係叫椒鹽好d! 另外羊架勁大舊又唔騷,肥瘦均云好鬼正!但係串燒就冇乜驚喜啦,雞皮老火得滯, 免治雞又有D鞋,豬仔腸味道係就係唔錯, 但好普通囉!後來先上既凍茄子落左麻醬好鬼正, 甜而不漏~火灸壽司又係必試,樣樣都好有水準,飯又唔大舊!佢個牛油帶子好鬼死重牛油味,加埋粟米真係絕配,不過唔係鐵板上就要扣分啦~ 最正係刺身叫幾多比幾多,完全冇漏單, 而且又新鮮,不過冇冰就唔夠細心啦, 食食下唔夠凍咁點呢? 話時話佢個龍蝦湯好鬼搞笑,結到好似漿咁,用黎點D煮物食好夾, 哈哈天婦羅就叫左芝士魚餅,蝦,蟹爪,多春魚墨魚丸,哇, D配搭咁特別, 唔係唔試呀?除左熱辣辣, 呢度有個特點,就係炸粉唔會過厚,而且夠鮮味, 唔似一般放題用死蝦雪魚~野飲就勸大家要叫汽水,整出黎果D真係唔得,淡某某既!值得一提, 侍應收野都幾快!
我地人多叫野自然多,佢地都可以係一堆食物碟中揀出空碟黎收，抵讚~

二人同行，一人半價，所以唔好一支公去呀!

八幡屋日本料理 (旺角)

冇食一輪放題, 近排又多食番, 之前食來食去都係果幾間, 今次總算有d新意
呢間放題感覺上新開冇耐, 好多野都仲好新淨, 裝修又係咁既style, 真係冇乜特別好講

坐既位窄左少少, 畢竟鬧市可能租貴, 好多時都係要擠多幾張枱出來, 所以本身都唔expect好坐

食物紙做得相當精美, 款式都算唔少, 感覺不錯~ 第一round當然係我最愛既刺身啦!

上菜速度算快, 冇漏單, 來數足, 唔錯。但係見到d三文魚連皮, 即刻扣晒分, 我最唔鐘意三文魚連皮上
雖然係新鮮唔腥, 但係唔得軟滑, 呢d邊皮位口感最差 希靈魚, 一個字: 勁腥
刺身來講最正應該係個蝦, 大大隻之餘仲好鮮嫩, 另外雕魚都ok, 好食過三文魚先~

壽司見佢有火炙就一於試試, 特別系呢個蟹柳, 上面有件芝士, 不過件芝士味唔夠, 滿足唔到我
但係件蟹係鮮味多汁既~

牛舌都係一樣我好鐘意叫既食物, 佢有兩種牛舌, 一於叫晒來試啦~ 兩樣都相當入味, 而且唔硬, 值得一試。
至於蝦天婦羅, 睇落大隻但食落又係粉多, 同刺身蝦簡直一個天一個地, 真係浪費左咁鮮既蝦... 我又唔想拆左層皮淨係食蝦肉咁浪費, 所以唔叫嚕... 而且冇蟹天婦羅, 除左蝦之外其他都係素食, 例如蕃薯南瓜之類, 食落係甜, 但係同樣都係粉多

金田家 (銅鑼灣)

鋪頭細細，裝修簡單既金田家，竟然係九洲得獎名店! 一於等我試試有幾好食
芽菜叉燒拉麵 - 銅鑼灣的金田家 芽菜叉燒拉麵 - 軟麵/多葱
簡咗軟身拉麵，呢碗麵不得不提既係佢既豬骨湯底，味道好濃，呈奶白色，感覺好真材實料，好肯定唔係加味精既，要煲到咁既味相信花咗好多時間同心機拉麵叫了軟身，但可以再軟少少~ 另外芽菜份量足夠，追加多蔥又真係多到成碗都係
叉燒同樣一流，大大塊得來又唔會太厚，剛剛好，而且係半肥瘦叉燒，平日食燒味都鐘意食半肥瘦，日式叉燒當然唔例外! 今期有溏心蛋送~ 真係好貼心XD 溏心蛋夠溏心，非常好味，蛋汁係咁流出來，而且蛋黃味濃，呈金黃色~餐廳環境乾淨，自己更喜歡他們以樽裝汽水取代罐裝，不錯不錯，果然名不虛傳!​
