新的"星空奇遇記：黑域時空"就快上映，身為"星空奇遇記"迷的我當然會去觀看! 但除了到電影院，現在到灣仔駱克道的COYOTE BAR & GRILL 都同樣可以感受到氣氛，因為餐廳最近推出了一個以星空奇遇記為主題的菜單，每道菜式都以電影的角色來命名，而且還跟醬汁公司TABASCO合作，所以每樣食物都有點辣，實在很夠"刺激"！雖然COYOTE給人的印象主要是個喝酒的地方，但這次菜式的味道很不錯，價錢也很合理，想在灣仔找地方吃飯的話不防試試！

Coyote Bar & Grill is a Mexican restaurant and bar located in the heart of Wanchai. The restaurant has two floors, with the bar located on the ground floor and a dining area located upstairs.

With an upbeat atmosphere and a good selection of food and drinks, this restaurant and bar is a popular venue which is usually bustling throughout the entire week. Last week, I went there for a preview of the Star Trek Into Darkness promotional menu, which will be available from 13 May 2013 to 9 June 2013. As a Star Trek fan, I was really excited about the meal, as each dish was named after a character in the movie. Besides a Star Trek theme, Tabasco brand sauces are also used in each of the dishes and drinks, so be prepared for a spicy kick!

(1) We started off with Captain Kirk's Chicken Wings (HOT) ($75). The six pieces of USA chicken, tossed in a Tabasco habanero sauce, were full of flavour in each bite and were tender and moist in the middle. Their flavours were complemented by a jalapeno and cilantro dip, which was creamy and delicious. Beware though - the chicken really was very hot! (2) The tiger prawns in Scotty's Skewers ($98) were well marinated and nicely grilled, and the chorizo and tomatoes also added bright notes to the dish. The Tabasco infused cocktail sauce, which tasted a bit like ketchup as it was a tad sweet, was excellently garlicky. (3) As Spock is quite a character, this Spock's Seafood Paella ($178) also had exotic tastes to match the personality of its namesake. The paella, slow cooked in a Tabasco spiced tomato sauce, was a tad too mushy and soft, but the flavouring was awesome - a hint of sourness and spiciness made it incredibly moreish. The seafood, such as the mussels, prawns and squids, were also satisfyingly fresh, and a dash of lime juice lifted the flavours of the dish.(4) Sulu's Sea Bass ($175) exceeded our expectations. The pan-seared, cumin-crusted fish was dry and crunchy on the surface, while still tender and juicy underneath. It was served with sautéed yam, oregano potatoes and garlic spinach, all cooked to a great texture. The sauce was a Tabasco brand chipotle béarnaise, which worked well with the fish.(5) The Ibarra Fudge Brownie ($55) was warm, buttery and soft, and was fantastically matched with an icy scoop of vanilla ice cream. (This dessert is on the normal à la carte menu.)(6) I tried a Star Trek-themed cocktail, Mango Uhura ($68), made with white rum, lime juice, mango purée, a dash of Tabasco brand pepper sauce and a splash of soda. It was syrupy and fruity, but also had a fiery spicy kick; I liked how the spiciness was balanced out by the sweetness of the drink. Have you seen this chair at Coyote before? This is "The Barber Chair", and the person sitting on it will have drinks tilted down their throat! Unsurprisingly, people who sit on this chair are almost never volunteers - they are often sponsored by their friends.The food at this down-to-earth restaurant and bar was surprisingly decent. The downstairs bar area might be too noisy for an intimate dinner, so you could consider booking a table in the second-floor dining area, which is quieter and more spacious. This menu seems to be a pretty tasty, interesting and spicy way to celebrate the release of Star Trek Into Darkness in Hong Kong!

墨西哥菜在香港來說不是大路的菜式，早前吃過了位於鰂魚涌的Taco小店，而早年在老蘭也有一所走高格調的墨西哥菜館子Izote，本人當年未寫食評也去吃過，皆因本人對於異國菜，雖說不上懂，但至少是接受得來的。是日有幸收到公關公司的邀請，跟一眾食友來喝杯酒，吃吃各式墨西哥食物，好讓平常生活勞碌的大家，暫時放下沉重的包袱，享受場內強勁節奏的音樂，始終在灣仔尾駱克道的這一條酒吧街，如此的佈局也是少不了，但隱藏背後的是一道又一道既有特式，又惹味好吃的墨西哥菜。

說店家認真，其實不單只在南美式的歌舞表演，光是看看那Wall of Flame，就知道店家是有多麼的認真，素知墨西哥愛吃辣，也能吃辣，集合各式各樣的辣椒汁，比起我們只懂Tabasco，說來嗜辣的我實在也興奮無比了。先來的是Quesadilla with Chicken，其實是一款夾有芝士的夾餅，故名思意，此夾餅內的芝士餡也混上了雞肉，夾餅來得薄身，卻又香脆之外，裡頭芝士帶來軟綿的口感，使得其內外予人雙重的口感，也有十足的芝味及一定的肉香，嫌它單調嗎？蘸點辣椒汁就行了，不過吃了噴火就別怪人家了。

另外一款小吃貌似廣東人常吃的春卷，其實名為Smoked Pulled Pork Chimichangas，這款小吃其實就連美國南部的人也喜歡吃，不過人家通常會用上Tortilla包着各式醬汁及肉吃，所以絕對不會如春卷狀的樣子，說回其味道，是日的這個版本實在很適合嗜肉的人仕，裡頭醬汁不多，但就充滿了絲絲的豬肉，豬肉本身香料味足，然而也還吃到芝士，如此的香脆小吃，試問又怎會難吃？剛才說過如果嫌味道單調，又或是小吃太乾口的話，大家也可以蘸一點墨西哥沙沙醬汁，是日店家這個版本做得有點像西班牙凍湯，不過那陣蕃茄的酸香非常突出，不會太甜，跟上炸物來吃，就剛好平衡了當中的膩。之後迎來一系列的Fajita，其實跟印度的Tikka系列菜式有點相像，都是用上燒熱了的鐵板，盛起燒過的肉類來，不過吃法就有點出入，皆因墨西哥人的吃法，就是有如吃北京填鴨一樣，用上麵餅包起烤肉來，之後再輔以不同的醬汁，卷起來成為墨西哥卷吃。是夜店方供應了全部的烤肉供大家享用，當中分別有乳酪醃雞、燒帶子、露絲瑪莉汁羊肉及醃火腿包蝦，而醬汁就更有過十款的選擇，當中不乏較為常見，而又很具墨西哥特色的紅沙沙醬、墨西哥酪梨醬，也有基礎的沙律醬，除此之外，也有較為開胃的Mango & Lime Salsa、酸忌廉及Apple & Mint Salsa。第一味要介紹的烤肉是露絲瑪莉汁羊肉，即是在店方餐牌上的Rosemary Marinated Baby Lamb，用迷迭香調校醬汁來伴羊肉，基本上是公認的合襯，店家是日就更加用了它來醃漬它，醃好之後才燒，輕輕的迷迭香味鎖了在羊肉之內，跟羊肉的羶味撞個正着，非常有趣，加上羊肉本身烤得剛好，入口軟腍而帶點炭香，伴點底下的炸洋蔥吃，更可化去一點油膩。第二味烤肉是乳酪醃雞Yogurt Marinated Chicken Breast，用上乳酪來醃雞，其實也是一種在西餐，尤其是在印度菜也會使用來處理肉類的方法，當中的微酸輕度破壞了肉質裡頭的蛋白質，吃起來特別的軟腍，而且也令肉食更加惹味開胃，加上件件雞肉都烤得很有炭香，也是一味好吃的佐酒小食。燒帶子Seared Sea Scallops其實不是串燒的燒，而是用上鑊仔明火燒熟的意思，帶子跟雜椒兜勻，雜椒甜美，而帶子本身也不失本身的鮮味，吃起來非常之有彈性，香口得來又不會乾身，雖然個人認為吃味方面是跟新鮮的還差得遠，但用Sear這個方法來處理，個人認為問題不大。眾多小吃當中，它也可算是繁複的了，用上醃火腿包着蝦來燒，在餐牌上名為Prawns Wrapped in Prosciutto，雖然入口後那Prosciutto確實為本人的口腔帶來滿滿的煙肉香味，但那陣濃郁的鹹香味，是蓋過了蝦本身要貢獻的鮮味，個人而言不太懂欣賞。吃罷就有各式各樣的Fajita，之後吃一味墨西哥人常吃的小食Nachos，是日店家供應的這道Nachos Simpatico，確實充滿了墨西哥的風味，除了不少的蕃茄粒、黑水欖、蔥花、芝士及肉碎外，就是墨西哥地道喜吃的酸忌廉及墨西哥酪梨醬，兩款醬的味道都香濃，同時芝士及肉碎也因為蕃茄粒及黑水欖的存在，不會予人太過膩滯的感覺，香脆惹味，實在是下酒良伴。有那麼多好吃的菜式，在這半酒吧的環境下，當然要喝兩杯高興一下，先來的是
Queen Bee，這一道用上了真蜜糖沖調而成的Cocktail，喝起來真的有蜜糖味，配上開胃的新鮮青檸汁，在配方中加入Triple Sec來提供多一重的生果香，既有橙又有青檸的酸香，輔以主軸的龍舌蘭酒，令酒體富有一種龍舌蘭獨有的香味，喜歡喝Tequilla而又怕苦的朋友，這杯Cocktail實在是大家的入門途徑。

喝了杯易入口的Queen Bee，也喜歡喝烈酒的我，就來上一杯味道較直接的Margarita on Rock，雖然說是On Rock的東西，不過南美系的這杯雞尾酒，始終不失熱帶風情，除了龍舌蘭酒外，也有Triple Sec及其他的Orange Flavour的Liqueur，加上青檸汁，所以喝起來也挺酸，沒有了蜜糖的滋潤下，個人認為這杯酒的酒味還是不夠突出，個人認為龍舌蘭酒的香味可以再出一點，那就更好了。

另外本人也嚐過帶車厘子味的The Pink Taco，但這沙冰一入口，一陣冰涼過後，融了的沙冰就告訴我的味蕾，這杯東西有着強大的藥水味，喝了一口就投降了。

另外一款的沙冰名為The Suzy Wong，其實就是芒果味Margarita沙冰，這一杯的味道比起之前的車厘子味，實在是差太遠，入口陣陣冰涼的芒果甜香，加上一陣獨特的生果香味，原來當中也混入了石榴，所以味道既討好又複雜，教人喝完一口又一口。吃過了那麼多東西，都是時間開始想想吃什麼甜品了，是日由店家安排了兩款甜品，第一款名為Caramel Flan，其實是法國人的甜食，個人認為它的吃味跟焦糖布甸沒多大分別，只不過面層那脆口的糖變成了焦糖漿而已，而底下的是軟腍滑溜的吉士，實在跟燉蛋沒多大分別，所以吃味也很類似，當然都是甜甜而帶焦糖香，不過蛋味好像是欠了點，但整體來說還算不賴。

Ibarra Fudge Brownie，其實跟一般的Brownie沒多大分別，可能店家是用了墨西哥的Ibarra Brand巧克力棒為原料，才幫它改了這個名字吧，是日這件Brownie吃入口硬身了一點點，但巧克力味豐富，個人雖然想少甜一點，但反正伴雲呢拿雪糕都是甜的了，這個問題其實又不太大，總之入口滿滿的巧克力味及雲呢拿味，也沒什麼好再要求太多了。

真的想不到人在酒吧林立的駱克道，一邊在這個場的Bar喝杯酒的同時，也有不少地道墨西哥的燒烤菜來吃，一班朋友開開心心的過一個晚上，真的不錯，最後在此再次多謝店家PR的邀請。

是日找個地方與朋友一歇, 來些飲品及小吃很大份, 賣相不差的Nachos, 有黃及紅色兩色的玉米片, 上面有牛油果醬, 紅荳醬, 芝士, Jalepeno等, 整體都不錯, 很惹味, 唯一欠缺了sour cream, 美中不足

結識了嘉豪時, 我們第一間去的餐廳就是Coyote Bar & Grill , 那時是我們剛結識但又未開始發展的時候, 不過作為他的朋友, 他都知我生日, 所以在此幫我慶祝及請了我食了一餐大餐, 幾年後再到此境, 更是令人記憶猶新, 非常回味,今次dinner我提議了去coyote及想寫下此食評來回憶一番, 今次是我們第二次來到, 嘉豪對墨西哥菜真是了解, 他因為他真是好喜歡食墨西哥菜,而且他已經不是第二次來, 更是常客, 他更推介了我不少墨西哥菜.....

virgin colada $48 ---當然都以菠蘿汁及椰汁為主, 味道方面兩者都好平均, 味道椰香撲鼻,甜度更是適中

virgin maragarit $48 ---我order是cranberry 味, 都偏酸味較重, 再散發了lime的味道, 酸中都帶甜,令人感到清新開胃Fajitas combo $175 --- 以鐵板盛載著燒烤了的食物,香噴噴"吱吱"聲上枱,烤燒的食物我們選擇了雜錦, 有三文魚, 蝦肉, 牛扒, 雞肉, 更配上烤洋蔥及雜椒, 用了warm tortillas包住燒烤了的食材蘸上新鮮的牛油果醬,酸忌廉及red salsa,烤肉方面都肉汁仍是豐滿, 不會燒過火而乾,再了少許red salsa真是帶點酸辣, 真是惹味開胃,而蘸上了sour cream 就好香滑微酸的口感,再加上牛油果醬果香味鮮, 口感層出不同combo platter $195 ---- 好像英式的high tea 般用了個層架分成了兩層盛載著食物,賣相精緻, 第一層是mini nacho, 第二層的有豬肉及雞肉烤串, 炸雞翼,磨菇quesadilla, 和 jalapeno pepper 釀芝士, 更有之前提及的sour cream , 牛油果醬,碎蕃茄粒及red salsa 迷你玉米薄脆--- 第一層是mini nachos, 一大埋溶化了的芝士在nachos上面, 更mix了一些jalapenos, 芝味無窮又香脆, 好像食著片般, 更可以蘸上Guacamole,sour cream及red salsa來享用, 別有一番風味之後第二層的食物都好有墨西哥的特色, 因為都是辣及炸的食物.......

香辣炸雞翼用了墨西哥的香料醃製的, 最滋味是把它蘸上honey tequila sauce 味道甜中帶辣, sauce裡面有莞茜及指天椒的辣味,真是香脆惹味,肉質都好嫩滑又不會好燶

jalapeno pepper 釀芝士,jalapeno這個名未是我們一般熟知的墨西哥辣椒,味道帶中辣,剛炸起的芝士真是好鬆軟脆口,芝士味全溶化了, 真是最好趁熱吃掉吧

磨菇quesadilla --- 粟米粉皮包著蘑菰,內餡都好多mushroom,又夠 juicy又有咬口, 滋味無窮,食味是不錯的, 粟米粉皮都咬落煙韌

雞肉及豬肉烤串--啖啖肉不會燒得過火,再加上燒烤汁真是惹味肉香,肉質嫩滑裝潢方面上層一貫墨西哥餐廳格局再加上下層是開放式的酒吧,而且有卡位坐, 熱氛真是非常熱鬧不少外國人都捧場, 環境的吊燈色彩繽紛,櫃中的更有不少墨西哥辣汁可讓客人購買

其實這裡的食物相當不錯,更有印上coyote的帽子帶, 更可以取走,侍應生更是熱情及有熱誠的服務,真是顯出墨西哥人熱情, 奔放

整體食品都好滿意, 墨西哥菜式味道都是濃烈而且辣味依然, 原因墨西哥菜的辣味多數都是來自辣椒, 飲食口味也偏向酸和辣

灣仔區實在是一個很可愛的地方，華洋共處，各式各樣的美食都可吃到。是日光顧的「Coyote」，主打墨西哥梅斯基特燒烤，室內播著南美音樂，處處都是墨西哥風情的擺設，令人妨如置身外地。點了一大 jar 「紅酒特飲」，酒味不算太濃，但充滿果香，內裡混著鮮什果，很可口。若你喜歡來點新意，「Coyote」也有一系列的特色雞尾酒及墨西哥調酒，味道也不會太嗆喉，實是一處與好友 happy hour 的好地方。

前幾天看電視節目, 看到旅遊節目介紹墨西哥, 當地的美食讓我很想試
因為我在香港也吃過好吃的墨西哥菜, 就是在coyote bar and grill
當天晚上超熱鬧的人好多, 我們亦試了不少墨西哥的美味菜式這邊有超多款的辣椒醬辣椒汁, 愛辣的人絕對不要錯過Grilled Chicken Quesadillas
先來這款小吃, 脆的外皮夾著雞肉跟芝士, 薄薄一片很香口
用來作佐酒小吃非常不錯Smoked pulled pork chimichangas
很像我們春卷的一款, 裡面的是pulled pork手撕豬肉
豬肉以墨西哥醬料煮過, 十分惹味, 脆的外皮配上美味的內餡非常好吃Nachos Simpatico
我非常喜歡吃的nachos, 這裡的nachos很大一碟, 配以香濃的牛油果醬跟芝士
香脆惹味, 喜歡吃nachos的我真的吃不停口呢Fajita
fajita是在墨西哥很想吃的美食, 泛指鐵版煎烤類的食物
通常會連醬料跟薄餅皮包在一起吃的, 當晚試了四碟fajita, 每款都好吃Yogurt Marinated USA Chicken Breast
這個是四款中我比較不喜歡的一款, 雞肉比較乾
但整碟都很香, 尤其是洋蔥的味道很香呢Seared Sea Scallops
帶子有點過熟, 但味道也是很香, 喜歡作底的黃紅椒Rosemary Marinated Australian Baby Lamb Loin
這款羊肉不錯, 肉質很嫩, 而且也有肉汁

結果這裡的墨西哥菜還真好吃, 很多都做得很惹味
下次如果想吃東西跟喝酒的話還是會再來

有時候途經駱克道,四周令人目眩的霓虹燈,來自各國的遊客,靠在路旁聊天,又不時有美女走過,散發著一種異國風情.

Coyote Bar & Grill,以墨西哥色彩作主調,加上是晚有特備節目,音樂的強勁節奏,洋溢一片南美氣息.

能獲得相關公司邀請,實在要說聲謝謝.

店內共分兩層,二樓梯邊是擺放了形形式式,來自不同地方的辣椒汁,各具特色造型,相信愛辣的你,總有一款合你心意.飲品還未上場,先來一份小食, Grilled Chicken Quesadillas ($82), 烤得微焦的餅皮,香脆酥化,餡料是雞肉拌和了芝士,煙韌有嚼口.此刻,有食友遞過一瓶辣油,說可以試試,在這個輕鬆的環境下,誰也不在意吧?把薄餅蘸點一下,放在鼻端一嗅,心想沒什麼大不了,豈料,勁度是在口腔內以幾何級數爆發,舌尖開始發燙,額角的汗水不期然冒出來,這種澎湃的感覺,可說是首次遇上,而事後,公關朋友證實這瓶不顯眼的傢伙,竟然是在辣度榜排名第一,呃……真的見識到他的威力了!Smoked pulled pork chimichangas ($158) 賣相跟春卷有點相近,雖然是炸物,油份又不多,大概是油溫控制得準,餡料是換上豬肉,濃郁的味道,酥脆的表皮,用來配一杯啤酒就更好了.Nachos Simpatico 素香辣墨西哥玉米薄脆 ($95) ,底部放滿香熱酥脆的玉米薄脆,上面是欖仁,蕃茄粒,洋蔥粒及半融芝士,充滿天然樸素的香味,透出誘人的味道.

Fajita 是墨西哥的代表菜之一, Yogurt Marinated USA Chicken Breast ($160) ,雞胸用上燒烤方法,但又不覺得好韌,配以十款特色醬汁,帶出不同的風味.Seared Sea Scallops ($185) ,海鮮類在烹調的時間上,拿捏真的要夠準,今次帶子似乎過了火,肉質有點韌,反而配菜的青紅椒絲及洋蔥條炒得夠香甜,熱辣辣的好惹味.Rosemary Marinated Australian Baby Lamb Loin ($195) , 雖然用上同樣的配菜,但看見胭紅的肉質,已知是medium rare, 可能用上rosemary醃製過,羶味又不重,相信最合女孩子的口味. Prawns Wrapped in Prosciutto ($185) , 海蝦件頭不單夠大,而且肉質爽甜,加上滲入prosciutto味道,令整道菜變得更吸引.再來是兩個Fish Bowl ($488) ,分別是車厘子及芒果味,插滿吸管的賣相,已知道適合一大班朋友齊齊享用,前者帶點藥水味,不太受歡迎,而後者清甜得多,很合胃口.Caramel Flan ($55) , 蛋布甸處理得相當滑溜,比想像中要好,酒是澆在碟的四周,散發淡淡的香氣,草莓片及龍珠果的擺設,令賣相更亮麗.Ibarra Fudge Brownie ($55) , 看來店內甜點師傅確是有一手, Brownie焗得外面微脆,內裏有點心太軟表面的感覺,濃稠的巧克力味道透出,但個人偏向甘香度更強,而灑上一層薄薄的糖霜,黑白相襯,令賣相變得可愛.由於是踫上墨西哥的節日,店內安排了一隊樂隊即場表演,在店內四處遊走,將現場氣氛推至高峰,難怪當大家要離開時,依然是人頭湧湧,看來駱克道又添多一個浦點了!

Coyote Bar & Grill is not unfamiliar to me as I occasionally walk in for an impromptu Corona drinking session, but I must admit I haven't really taken much notice of the food here before. Thanks to J & V's invitation, I finally realised that I have been missing out all this time! Although at first glance the food looks undoubtedly Americanised Mexican and more resembling Tex-Mex in style (always recognisable when you see orange cheeses and minced beef on the menu), I was taken aback that some of the dishes here were undoubtedly more Cal-Mex or traditional Mexican in style. It seems to run the gamut and there were actually dishes on the menu which sounded more promising that what we ate tonight.

What intrigued me the most is their very rare to find Mesquite Grill, used here to house smoke their fish and meats, even though they now use Hickory instead of Mesquite for this purpose.


****************************** Chili Sauces -
There is a substantial selection of Chili Sauces available here for purchasing but also available for tasting for FREE here. This is one of it's biggest attractions. Try as many as you want.

. Samba - Gold Tequila, Triple Sec, Lime Juice, Malibu Rum & Pineapple Juice - Golden Margarita
A nicely balanced drink in an exotic way. A bit granita like which might give brain freezes but great for cooling down the hot chili sauces!

. Quesadilla with Chicken -
This was quite cheesy, and unexpectedly squarishly cut rather than into pie triangles. Quite decent indeed although a little too thin in presentation. ~ 7/10

.Smoked Pulled Pork Chimichangas - $158
These chimichangas were the highlight, although looking a bit round and more like spring rolls tonight! As mentioned, their Mesquite-Hickory Grill is used to smoked the meat themselves, and it is very smoky. Just order this and you won't regret it if you miss the smoky type of food from South West.

.Nachos Simpatico - $105
Using the shelf bought not the bubbly fried Nacho chips, Guacamole avocado, Black Beans, Sour Cream and Pico de Gallo with an abundance of Cheddar cheese just screamed Tex-Mex... This is a popular dish but I think needed more cheese and black beans ~ 6/10

.Fajitas - Rosemary Marinated Baby Lamb, Yogurt Marinated Chicken Breast - $160 to $195
The Fajitas on this side of the table came with some lovely Sour Cream, Apple and Mint Salsa, and Mango & Lime Salsa, but you can also order the other usuals such as Pico de Gallo, Chipotle Mayo, Jalapeno & Roasted Garlic Dips, etc. The flour tortilla were steamed nicely soft at the edges, which is a plus. The lamb was cooked medium-rare looking very smart! They ate very well too, in fact this is probably one of the best fajitas I've had! The yogurty chicken was also pretty decent but a bit over-shadowed by the perfectly seared lamb. ~ 9/10

Mango & Lime Salsa, Sour Cream and Apple & Mint Salsa -
These were quite good actually for use on the Fajitas, especially on the seafood options..

.Fajita of Prawns Wrapped in Prosciutto - $185
This was grilled until the prosciutto developed a bacon like taste. ~ 7/10

.Seared Sea Scallops - $185
The scallops were surprisingly on the small side, and needed to develop more of a seared surface I think? ~ 5/10

.Fish Bowls - $488 each
These might be pricey but they were GINORMOUS ! They also have an abundance of alcohol, and a few friends can share one. Very interesting drink although I think they could charge cheaper so more customers will order one, just as a gimmick ?

.Caramel Flan - $55
Came looking quite pretty with a hint of cointreau. Quite smooth but needs more egginess. ~ 7/10

.Ibarra Fudge Brownie - $55
Served warm and once again punching above its weight for the price vs taste & presentation. This was actually very good, very moist and chocolaty and warm. This dessert really surprised me as so many other shops serving this fail miserably. Excellent. ~ 10/10

. The mostly Texas Mexican style food with a few other Mexican styles thrown in was overall was actually done surprisingly well here, it's not just normal pub grub! At least the execution was spot-on, just look back at that perfectly seared lamb with a pink centre, very smoky and tender pulled pork inside the chimichangas, or the gorgeous Ibarra Fudge Brownie dessert. I didn't really like the scallops fajita though.

駱克道的酒吧很多，這間Coyote Bar & Grill，充滿墨西哥風味。這夜碰著是酒吧的面具之夜，也先謝謝邀請，讓我於晚飯後來喝杯酒，與眾人來熱鬧一番。來到酒吧的上層坐下，先點杯The Bullet，30/30 reposado tequila，$98，選一款味道帶酸的先來喝。Grilled Chicken Quesadillas，$82，兩片薄薄的墨西哥餅皮夾著雞肉餡料，還混入了芝士、蔥碎，餅皮帶點煙韌口感，表面微微脆身，雞肉充滿香料味道，一小件的入口，方便易吃。豬肉卷，豐滿的肉卷炸得香脆可口，但吃下有點油膩，但又不致滿口是油，而肉味也濃郁突出。Coyote Nachos，$102，堆得高高的玉米薄脆片上滿佈半融芝士、洋蔥粒、蕃茄粒、牛油果醬、酸忌廉等，賣相吸引。熱烘烘的玉米片，香脆可口，最愛沾滿芝士來吃，很滋味，令人吃不停口。餐廳內還放了很多辣椒醬，由微辣至勁辣程度的都有，客人可自行到架上挑選來伴食物吃。愛吃辣的我聽到後，真的十分興奮。朋友拿了一枝最辣的辣椒醬回來，於薄餅上塗些來吃，入口的確辣，但也未算是勁辣辣至吃不下那種。很想再來這裡，試試其他的辣椒醬。另外還有Fajita Promotion，四款鐵板燒的食物，再配上大量炒香的洋蔥、青紅黃椒。Yogurt Marinated USA Chicken Breast，$160，雞胸肉厚度適中，亦不會烤得乾身。Seared Sea Scallops，$185，我吃的帶子偏韌，要花多力牙力咀嚼，但鮮味還有。Rosemary Marinated Australian Baby Lamb Loin，$195，這個羊肉不會很羶，所以我也可以試一口，肉質比想像中的軟腍，也有點肉汁。Prawns Wrapped in Prosciutto，$185，最後這款的蝦肉不錯，不會很腍身，還有點鮮爽口感。跟Fajita的一共有十款醬料，分別是Home Made Fresh Guacamole、Pico De Gallo、Red Salsa、Chipotle Mayo、Sour Cream、Pumpkin Seed Pesto Sauce、Jalapeno & Roasted Garlic Dip、Pineapple Salsa、Apple & Mint Salsa及Mango & Lime Salsa。選擇很多，酸的甜的也有，也能找到一款愛吃的。甜品前，來了兩個巨型的Fish Bowl，分別是車厘子及芒果味，每個$488。份量十足，足夠多人一同享用，芒果口味較合心意，酸酸甜甜，車厘子味的感覺有點像藥水口味，非個人喜愛。兩款甜品分別是Caramel Flan焦糖酒香蛋布甸，$55，及Ibarra Fudge Brownie朱古力餅配雪糕及朱古力醬，$55。焦糖酒香蛋布甸入口滑溜，質感比想像中的好，味道甜甜的，也有蛋香，但酒香就嚐不出來。朱古力餅配雪糕及朱古力醬，Brownie焗得微暖，表面帶點微脆，內裡質感也濕潤，不會很乾身，已算是不錯。朱古力味濃郁，亦不會很甜溜，跟上一球香甜的雲尼拿雪糕，吃得滿足。這晚真熱鬧，強勁的音樂，加上樂隊現場表演，把這夜氣氛推至高潮，眾人也興奮起來。偶爾跟朋友來狂歡一番，把工作的壓力釋放出來，也不錯。
