十二月二十八‧寒冷

七時許，還沒收工，約了老朋友，最好的是找處地方喝一杯。際此鼠年將未，也找一處好一點的地方。原來去Blue Bar也好，但星期五是jazz night，我們也好靜，就來了這裡。

選了埋邊的高檯，檯面寬敞，高椅舒適，對著偌大的吧檯，180度維港景致，環境一流。先來點喝的，朋友要了virgin mogito，我則想喝威士忌，就隨手選了Macallen 12年。朋友的沒酒精mogito大大棵薄荷葉，很「綠色」，而我的麥高倫口感圓混，沉香深陳，也非常好。大家碰杯，希望鼠年不快事快過去，牛年一切順利。

有喝的也要有吃的，先在小吃餐牌選來怪味鱔。將上了糖的脆鱔放在挖空了的黃瓜兜子上，賣相精緻，非常的討好。鱔是即炸的，吃起來熱辣脆口，配上青爽的黃瓜，無論在味道及口感的配合也恰到好處。一客六件，份量剛好，值得一吃；

拿餐牌來研究，發現幾款前菜也頗吸引，就要了個廚師前菜併盤來試一試。這個併盤有三味前菜，分別是香酥鵝肝、手撕龍蝦及燈影牛。是二人份量的，一客兩件，在長碟子上，擺放得也很美觀。依照侍者的意見，先吃手撕龍蝦。幾奇怪，單吃上面的龍蝦絲是有點腥味，但配合下面的切粒泰式雜菜同吃，酸辣的味道又剛好中和了蝦的微腥味，還帶出鮮甜，不錯；再吃香酥鵝肝，是一片紅莓慕絲夾上一片鵝肝醬，紅莓慕絲的甜酸味也恰好的平衡了鵝肝的濃膩感，兩片薄薄的，作為下酒小吃，剛剛好；最後吃燈影牛，這裡的燈影牛是「乾脆版」，吃起來沒有乾牛肉的質感，卻換來了香脆口感，味道甜中帶辣，跟我的12年麥高倫出奇的搭檔，美味；

吃完最後一塊牛肉，公司連環致電，要回工作崗位了。

侍者服務很好，埋單三百八，計及環境及食物水準，絕對是合理價錢。總覺得這裡的食物還可以再好，但來喝杯東西，吃點小吃，是很不錯的。

祝 牛年好。

Last week we went for dinner to celebrate our anniversary... A lady greeting us at the reception very professional checking our booking and bring us to the table.

While arrived, there were no waiter came to our table ASAP to serve us.. We need to rising our hands to let them know.

During ordering , we ordered dan dan noodle , chilli oil fish and chilli chicken as the starter.

Very food taste from those food, but lack of service during 2230 while we want to have some dessert.

Price is value on money and we will come again , but service need more improve.

A birthday dinner gathering with 6 people at Lumiere IFC last sat been told it offers a Fusion/Sichuan . A very first time for me, and I like the decor and ambiance of the restaurant and it's also a pleasure to be seated by the window over looking the Victoria Harbour

A complementary welcome cocktail, a Water-melon/Vodka with Cocoa Powder taste funny for sure not eveyone's cup of tea, but a really nice touch from the restaurant

We had 3 appertizers a chicken roll with special sauce, fried vegetable roll and a deep fried taro ball with pork...all tasty though not superb ,with very nice presentation. And the server also recommanded an australian white wine which taste very floral.

We also ordered a couple of very basic dishes like Ma Po Tofu(麻婆豆腐), Fish fillet in chiili(水煮魚), Stir fried chicken with chilli paste(醬爆雞),Pork in chilli sauce(魚香肉絲) which went well with steam rice, Dan Dan Noodle(擔擔麵) came in a lovely bowl ,and the taste was satisfactory. And the Pan -fried dumpling( 煎餃子) presented upside down which looked like a fan.

We had our birthday cake with the complementary Chilli Ice-cream(辣椒味雪糕), which is actually a Vanila Ice-cream with chilli taste however you won't taste the sensation until you swallow the ice-cream which is very interesting.....

Overall quite an enjoyable dinner.

來過兩遍,第一次是晚膳,第二次則是午餐

這次寫的則是午餐.

剛坐下,侍應問我要不要果汁(refill-able),那日的果汁是芒果汁+石榴汁. 我不清楚石榴的味道,但我覺得芒果味較重,像是一杯芒果汁而已.

午餐以set lunch 為主,百多元一個3 courses meal. 不算得特別貴.但我對着menu卻久久想不出要點什麼. Starter 的選擇有湯,中式點心和日式天婦羅. 我和另一位同事要了天婦羅,外藉同事則要了點心. 點心以傳統的小籠呈上,賣相不俗,能討外藉人士歡心. 但我們這些土生土長人士,吃多了點心,反而想吃別的,況且,我總認為這裏的點心不會太正宗.

日式天婦羅分別有兩隻蝦,茄子,賣相不討好,炸粉很厚,很實. 而蝦亦談不上鮮甜. 用來蘸天婦羅的醬汁亦不是日式,而是泰式的酸辣醬,整個感覺,較似吃泰式炸蝦餅.

主菜有三種選擇,我點的是半邊龍蝦伴猫耳粉.
半邊龍被開邊,淡而無味,可幸肉質不差,尚算夾口. 醬汁則是黃色忌廉汁,很淡,沒任何味道可言. 猫耳粉形態特別,但由於醬汁淡口,有點可惜. 醬汁內還有些薯仔粒,很飽滯.

另外兩位同事要了煎牛肉卷併意粉 - 賣相不討好,且聽聞牛肉很嚡.

甜品分別有泰式芒果糯米飯,美式芝士餅和水果拼盤.
女孩子都要了美式芝士餅,整個午餐最好的就是這個了. 芝士餅味道正常,還有士多啤梨伴碟.
水果拼盤似水果沙律.

對上一次來是晚膳. 坐於窗邊,能飽覽維港夜景,景色怡人.那次要了一道煎石斑魚柳,魚柳很嫩滑,味道很好. 甜品則要了朱古力雲吞,sauce則是芒果汁,驚喜很大. 比起這次午餐好很多倍,難道set meal 真的質素較差嗎?

兩次飯聚都是跟同事前往,說真,要是只有我跟朋友,不會來這地方,這種fusion菜,恕我未懂欣賞.

國金軒入面的亮明居

湯: 比味精湯更咸! (或者真係味精湯, 因為飲完之後勁口喝!)
蟹肉: 沒有鮮味! 肉質是梅的~
牛: 又係唔新鮮既! 還有點so!
羊: 只用蜜糖cover整件羊! 除了過甜的蜜糖味, 什麼味道也沒有! (我已吃得很甜的, 也覺得太甜)
魚: 一個字: 腥! 不用多說! (只吃了很少)
飯: 差!

其他的也不用多提!
最後的燕窩, 得個多字! 沒有技術可言!

什麼鐵廚!! 名過其實!
整餐飯, 沒有一個人是滿意的! 沒有一道寀是滿意的!

還有... 他們的service真的不得了!
有個server用他的elbow撞了我的頭一下 (有點痛的) 但他並沒有道歉! (他是知道的!) 直到我用很不滿意的眼神看著他! 他才很不願意地跟我說一句很沒誠意的"sorry!"
還有... 告訴那個不知是captain 或是 manager 的人... 他的菜不好! e.g. 魚很腥, 他只是:" 哦! 很腥!" 沒有解釋... 沒有示意會改善等等!

我真的未試吃過那麼差的食物! 還要那麼沒誠意的service!
一定不會再試!

星期五同個朋友食lunch，佢請左我去IFC II入面個間亮明居，起初以為食四川菜，點知當日既set lunch全都係fusion菜黎~ 不過無所謂啦，照試，於是我就叫左個芒果北寄貝牛油果沙律、人蔘響螺雞湯、牛扒 (唔記得左個好複雜既名)、威士忌朱古力慕絲拿破崙。

係等候食物既期間，發現原來呢度有落地玻璃海景view呢！整個感覺好舒服，就算係lunch，都唔會好多人、好逼或者好嘈~ 餐廳中間係bar位，應該夜晚可以黎飲野的~

先黎個沙律，賣相相當唔錯，先試沙律，我本身唔太鍾意有白色沙律醬既沙律，但係呢個入口又唔錯喎~ 芒果肉唔酸，配有爽口既蘋果同埋香滑既牛油果，口感同味覺唔錯，北寄貝係沙律面，有少少沙律既鮮果味，好fresh，同平時係日本餐廳食個感覺好唔同~

跟住黎個湯，估唔到個湯入面真係有好多湯料呢！湯略嫌味精味重左少少，如果唔係就幾好~

主菜係牛扒，仲唔到原來佢將件牛扒中間切開，加入唔同既菌係入面，再加埋個紅酒煮連菌既汁，本身好鍾意食菌類既我，簡直愛上呢道菜！

最後係個甜品，朱古力慕絲入面既威士忌味勁重！不過好香口，因為我鍾意有酒味既甜品！ 個拿破崙同我想像既脆皮有出入，因為呢度原來係酥皮，不過個口感都唔錯，成個俾我食哂！

四道菜$255 + 10%，環境、食物同服務都令我會再去！

裝修豪華,可以看海景和夜景
兩個人點了三個菜
水煮桂魚
煎雞丁
鐵板豆腐
500左右,貴少少,不過味道唔錯,服務態度ok滿意

打完波，靚女想食川菜，要揀一間環境好、坐得舒服的川菜館，第一時間想起亮明居。

兩個人，未夠六點半就去到。可能時間尚早，沒有太多客，仲可以揀坐位。選好位置後，仔細睇餐牌選擇心水食物。經一番商議後，可以點菜了！要一客拼盤(可選三款餸)、魚香茄子和水煮桂魚，另兩杯果汁。

拼盤首先送上，我們選的是鵝肝、灯影牛肉和蒜泥白肉。拼盤用一長碟上，每款的份量都只得一丁點，如只有一小片鵝肝夾著餅乾，兩片灯影牛肉及兩小小件的白肉，收$120肉乎有點過份。先不理它，吃了再算，鵝肝有點酒味，味道頗特別，不過我就不懂欣賞；灯影牛肉，比云陽閣的做得更薄，是真的晶瑩剔透，辣味不重，合個人口胃；蒜泥白肉是白肉包暮蔥，卻吃不到蒜泥味。總括來講，呢味菜味道可接受，份量卻過份地小。

水煮魚賣相相當吸引，服務員亦細心地說旁邊的兩件麵粉狀之類的東西可以解辣，未食亦很滿意。味道方面，麻辣味對辦，魚肉亦唔會散，下面有些少金菇菜吸了汁的精華，感覺刺激；另一道菜魚肉茄子也幾入味，只嫌未夠香口，否則會更好。

吃著看著迷人的維港境，談天說地，繁重的工作壓力頓時消失，真不願離開。

有同事要走，我地一行7人去左Lumiere為同事farewell。

Lumiere係食四川菜既。一入到去就發現原來係fushion才對，因為無論裝修以至面的餐具，都係西式風格。

裝修同餐具都唔係重點，最緊要係食物。由於我地人多而且張又長，setting又係西式既，於是lunch都係叫lunch sets。其實menu裡面都是fushion菜，例如頭盤3揀1，但係會見到「軟穀蟹冷麵」同「三文魚+豆腐沙津」……

我叫左三文魚沙津，主菜揀左一個有d川式的魚柳(記唔到全名)。每個dish的賣相都幾靚，加埋個海景view感覺真係好好既。味道方面，salad ok，三文魚的quality係average，而豆腐亦唔算特別滑；魚柳有丁點的辣味，但味道亦都係expect到的，雖然有個豆蓉的汁，但又唔算好特別……

價錢方面，3 courses的話約$200/person，4 courses就畀多幾十蚊囉~ IFC來說就差不多啦~ 不過如果朋友們想吃中菜的話，就可能要作其他的選擇了。

we total of 5 persons lunched there yesterday. 2 of us had diarhea (forgot how to spell!) and eventually took sick leave the next day! We all had set lunch. I had bean curd salad, winter melon soup, and duck's breast. Apart from salad, all were served in just a little bit warm temperature, absolutely not hot! Taste needless to say, was funny. This place is the typical fusion restaurant which most people fear, 9唔搭8 and expensive!!

My 2 friends who had diarhea suspects the fried soft shell crab was to blame for their upset stomach. They both had this as starters!
Don't worth going again!!

暑假時有個星期日去過試試她的brunch。貴是貴了一點，但安慰自己吃豪少少兼吃環境罷。
中式食物有質素而且份量合適，想多吃可以再叫。地方十分舒適而且『尚算清靜』。
自選的maincourse則只是免強合格，西廚明顯比不上中廚。另外，幾乎所有甜品都可以不試，一來已很飽，二來買相不吸引。
那裡的男侍應大都cam cam 地，令人有點有點不舒服。

I made the reservation 1 month ago for the Sat Brunch today. My folks enjoyed it and the food was quite delicate and appetizing. I like the size of each portion - small enough so that one can try more dishes. The soups (chowder and the spicy sour soup) however were lukewarm only.

We ordered four differnt main dishes and none of them was surprising good or bad.

Dessert was so-so. I am not a dessert fan anyway so I didn't really mind.

Service was excellent - I especially wish to commend one of the waiters named Noble who is very polite, attentive and pleasant.

Overall it was a great dining experience.

i had lunch their. not cheap at all. and im not a big eater so didn\'t bother going for the set. just ordered a salad and the dressing was pretty bad. enough to say....................
