本人覺得香煎帶子日本紫蘇醬扁意粉太太太油..........焦糖布甸一般
其他服務同食物都唔錯, 可以一試

話說, 星期5晚, 唔知點解咁難可以係tst訂台. 最後係得呢間較為少客, 所以就黎啦~
4個人, 就決定叫一個omelette rice, 一個pasta, 一個long pizza, 同埋一個salad (因為$38, 好平!). 本來想點curry, 可惜是日係curry ox tail, 席間有人唔食beef, 所以就冇叫喇~

salad: 係tuna. 另外有酸辣既sauce (有切碎左既蕃茄粒同類似青椒既東東)dip. tuna好凍, 加上好辣 (好鬼開胃) 既醬, 頗好味喎 (a little surprised! )~ 食完後即時肚餓起來~

omelette rice: 個蛋皮好薄好乾身 (唔油!), 好香, 顏色好靚. 入面既飯較濕, 味道普通, not好特別. 飯同肉同菜既ratio不錯, good. 唔會太多其中一樣野. 外面有層好開胃既蕃茄醬. 酸酸甜甜的, 呢個好味喎~ 伴菜係: 一條粟米仔, 一舊茄子, 同一個車厘茄~ 其實都幾random. 伴菜味道就幾fresh下 (可惜茄子油左d~).

pasta: 好細碟 (我指個plate好大, 但with little food). 我連我有食過呢碟野我都唔記得囉! 搞錯! 都唔知係我記性差定佢真係唔impressive. sorry, 我真係唔記得佢既味道係點樣~

long pizza: 叫左一個有雞肉既~ 話說真係好long. 我認為佢可以再焗 "火農" d~ 有好多芝士 (但其實芝士味唔濃既~). 蕃茄醬都唔夠多, 多d好d. 雞肉份量ok. 餅底夠厚, 好好咬~

service: 個manager係個晚我book台早10mins打黎, 提醒我要去dinner... 唔錯丫, 驚我唔記得. staff幾勤力, 成日行黎行去, 但可惜成日都睇唔到我地想叫野. 加水唔算密~

atomsphere: 幾靜下喎 (因為係差唔多locate係gateway最後?)~ d台都算大, 坐得頗舒服. 同隔離台有返d距離. 可惜燈光較暗, 可能為左營做一個romantic envrionment (coz每台都有candle)?

general: its alright. 其實成餐飯既味道都一般既. 唔係話好好味或唔好味~ 普通啦. 我認為咁既價錢可以做出一d更好味既食物. btw, 有個吧台, 加上甜品好似幾靚. 下次如果有機再黎既話, 可能會試下d alcoholic drinks同desserts吧~

很少日式西餐廳會令我如此留戀，但noritake無論是精緻瓷器碗碟，又或甜品蛋糕，都令我喜愛莫名，如最近推出兩款不同果味芝士餅($55)，也令人喜歡得緊：
　
檸檬芝士餅-方型的芝士餅樸素簡單，並無其他額外裝飾或花紋，吃是純粹是清新微甜檸檬味，撞上香濃芝士的對比感，加上恰到好處的軟硬質感與濕潤度，以及鬆化帶牛油香餅底，整體口味很是吸引，買回家的一夜已經整體吞掉無難度!
　
藍莓芝士餅-同樣是blueberry cheesecake，Niji賣的比隔壁Prince deli貴幾元，但味道也是不成正比的美味得多：首先頂層的藍莓醬很豐盛，幾近傾瀉；然後是芝味濃郁、微濕幼滑但不過稔的芝餅主身，最後又是質量不少的餅底，三層加起來滋味配搭，相得益彰，水準並不比酒店餅房差呢!
　
平日吃小小一件餅就已$30-$40，現在近一磅的芝餅才賣$55，實在真是極抵食。最希望Niji繼續推出其他不同口味的芝士餅，重出舊marble cheesecake/綠茶紅豆味也不介意，我一定會密密搭西鐵出來幫襯!!

綠茶紅豆芝士蛋糕 $40

芝士味道非常香濃。但雖然芝士味道濃亦不會影響到綠茶的味道，還會吃到粒粒紅豆，餅底

也算鬆化，以40蚊的價錢來說是相當抵食、好食。

唯一我會扣分的地方是蛋糕個質感，我會比較喜歡吃小小實的芝士蛋糕，而這個就比較軟

身，我已經放在雪櫃內，拿出來吃時還似有點溶化的感覺，比較軟但可能也會有人喜歡

Actually, this was not our first time being there, coz we had highteas, luncheons and dinners there before. But we had a very surprised surprise there that night!

Venue - well, open style, not very well for friends' gathering coz it is quite small. Only suits a couple.
Service - ok, not too bad but sometimes some servers are quite green. Not experienced enough.
Food - it offered a couple set dinner
(1) Ceasar Salad with 9 different sauces - funny!
(2) Ox Tail in Red Wine Sauce with Wasabi Mash Potato
- SOOOOO Tasty!!!! The sauce was so rich and filled up with red wine scent while the wasabi mash potato was so smooth and delicious!!! Good try!
(3) Panfried Udon with Salmon in Cheese egg sauce
- SOOOOOOOO Savory!!!!!!!!! It was so cheese and I like cheese all the time!!!
(4) Penna Cotta - very smooth with super mouthwatering strawberry sauce!!!

Previously, we found that the quality of this cafe was dropping, but that night, we were estouded by its good menu! And it was sooooo reasonably priced and I could even get a hokkaido red bean latte by just giving extra $10

今年自選了生日的地方, 只想簡單食一餐晚飯而已

此餐廳以食具精美見稱, 小女子也一開眼介
但無論食具如何精美也要有美食相伴
才能成為完美的一夜

我點了一個 269 的二人餐, 價錢不太貴, 由餐湯到甜品也一應俱全
無論餐湯到甜品, 也是穩陣之選
只是主菜的熔岩蛋飯的飯身, 比較淡口, 其他已達合格水平了

沒有期望之下更是有點驚喜的可謂 甜品了,
無論賣相與味道也感覺更是有心之作
最後以香濃咖啡作結

難怪下午茶時段會期門如市呢

Yesterday I and my friend went to niji bistro. Now they have Semi Salmon buffet at night time from Sunday to Thursday.

We order 明太子烏冬. The taste is good. I also try dessert . The dessert is ok.

The price is ok and attractive

Order any Omelette rice/pasta add $48, I can enjoy unlimited soup, salad, dessert. fruit.
The price is really good..

又到了與同房小友們聚頭吃午餐的時候。過往都只是獨個兒拿着傻瓜機四圍去尋吃，最近幾星期開始找到了同房小友們相陪，可以一同試吃更多地方的美食，實在是有點"快樂不知時日過"呢....

今日更值得一提的是，連太座也是其中的座上客，那就更令人高興....

聚會地方選了在海港城city's super旁的niji bistro。記得上次是一個人來吃她的招牌omelette rice，味道是還不錯，不過好吃歸好吃，要小弟重覆再點吃，倒是不太合自己一向愛試新東西的風格。望一望餐桌上的宣傳table stand，看到citibank的特惠午餐，菜式種類繁多之餘像是甚值吃。看來剛拿到手的新咭可以有用武之地了....

侍者先端來一小杯冷日本米酒來開開胃，感到有點surprise。與酒暫時緣淺的小弟不能乾盡，只象徵式的呷了一小口，算是用來止止癮也未嘗不可。此時太座及小友叫的蘑菇湯亦已端來。最eye-catching的不是那個湯本身，反而是伴吃的芝麻扭紋酥皮卷，皮脆之餘又有芝蔴及牛油香，作為小吃就真的頂呱呱。湯本身就打得不夠杰身creamy，菇味亦不算突出，於是決定光只吃那條酥皮條便已滿足了....

忙着吃別人的，差點就忙記自身的三小份前吃加湯類 ---- 煙三文多士伴青芥末忌亷醬做法極簡單，三文及多士只用來貨，只肯花點錢就能找到煙燻味足且夠油潤的三文及烘得香脆的多士，食味自然是有保證，醬料要調得合道也不是一件難若登天的事。可惜的是是日遇到的卻是below average水準的出品。心想始終是特惠午餐的一部份，那就不可以太吹毛求疵了；日式薯仔沙律倒是做得不差，薯茸磨得很細膩，有少許入口即化之感，而且有少許牛油香，不錯；湯是很普通的南瓜忌亷湯，質感跟之前喝的mushroom soup一樣，太稀了，不過多了點南瓜的清甜，比只喝蘑菇的沒有那樣的單調....

接着來的雜菓沙律杯就像在吃啫喱果凍，不好吃之餘感覺也很奇怪，用的雜果又是canned food，jelly又是淡且稀身。與其來以這杯"四不像"去奉客，倒不如來一小杯現成買回來的fruit sorbet就更實際啦....

此時偷吃了太太一小口的蛋包飯，發覺水平依舊。號稱來自日本的雞蛋口感滑溜，蛋香甚足，裡頭圓嘟嘟的日本米甚飽滿，沾上微酸的茄醬，令人甚開胃....

小弟的主食是香煎帶子日本紫蘇醬扁意粉。帶子吃落竟帶點梳打味，鮮味是蕩然無存的，是雪藏的無異，不過不會煑得韌得咬不斷，已是bonus來了。紫蘇醬恕小弟不才，實在是吃不出有甚麼味道個性來。反而linguine處理得半生不過熟，al dente感覺十足，挽回了少許面子....

Dessert亦是有三小款奉客，的的骰骰的賣相確甚吸引 ---- 紅酒燴梨酒味甚濃，邊吃已邊在醉了；紅荳綠茶芝士餅味甚古怪，總覺綠茶的苦澀味與芝味不能相夾，再加上紅荳的甜，對小弟而言，可謂怪中之怪了；opera做得太鬆軟，"朱味"不突出，樣子及味道跟普通marble cake無異....

款式及賣相俱多及佳，但味道普通。絕不是小弟那杯茶已....

聽朋友說這裏的咖啡水準很高且價錢相宜
正巧路過又想找個地方抖一抖
於是就order了niji High Tea set (for 2)

Parma Ham & Melon Roll
Melon 很鮮甜, 應該沒有浸過糖水
Parma Ham 咸度適中
此為全個Tea Set 最好

Japanese Potato Salad Bruschetta with Mentaiko Dressing
Bruschetta很脆, 但Japanese Potato一般, 沒什麼味道

Roasted Cherry Tomato Bruschetta with Herbs
Cherry Tomato加左Herbs整粒去煎, 加埋Bruschetta一齊食
感覺和味道都怪怪的
而且tomato還tomato, 包還包
如果把Cherry Tomato 切碎如比較好

Creamy Mixed Mushroom Bruschetta
我比較喜歡Mushroom, 覺得不錯
但份量略為少

English Scone with Hokkaido Red Bean & Fresh Cream
English Scone 完全沒有香味, 表面像菠蘿包
反而Red Bean & Fresh Cream做得不錯, 不會過甜
如果能配上一個鬆軟的Scone應該會好好味

Oreo Marble Cheese Cake
好有芝士味, 而且餅底係用Oreo做, 不錯

Chocolate Opera
朱古力味不夠, 但勝在有榛子味搭夠

niji House Blend Coffee
沒有想像中好, 而且好細杯

雖然菜式不夠好, 但環境優雅
如果行街行到攰, 不防一試
每人只須$80就能Hea一個下午

約友貓姐食飯, 她提議來尖沙咀, 在全港最大的商場海港城兜兜轉轉之後, 找到她介紹的
Noritake & niji bistro。我早就知道這家餐廳是日本著名高級瓷器品牌 Noritake 的附屬餐廳, 其中以蛋包飯最著名。在我的想像中, 這家餐廳該是被亮晶晶的貴氣瓷器包圍的, 怎知原來只是毗鄰它的零售店, 而且真是一家設計簡潔, 而且雖然是半開放式設計, 但晚上卻有點昏黑的 bistro, 一開始不免有點小失望啦。

我們一坐下, 服務生即遞上以品牌碟子為造型的餐牌, 另有一張晚市二人套餐的餐牌。來這裡, 最要緊的當然是吃蛋包飯, 還有友人吃過讚好的 7 色沙律醬沙律; 既然套餐兩者都有, 我們就點了一個套餐了。

主菜前可選餐湯或沙律, 我聽從友人的意見, 揀了niji 廚師沙律。
沙律是用印有蔬菜圖案的方形碗上桌, 很合襯。其材料有煙三文魚、水煮日本蛋、火燙吞拿魚及柏爾馬火腿, 配上各式蔬菜, 當然少不了一字排開, 用 7 個 shooter 杯裝著的 7 種沙律醬啦圖中上而下分別是: 芒果、wasabi、千島汁、麻醬、香醋汁、味噌和梅子, 每款都各具特色, 不過我就比較喜歡平時少見的芒果、味噌和梅子味。其實 wasabi 味也好味, 不要看它好像樣子溫馴, 都幾辣的。最好玩的除了沙律醬之外, 就是那隻爆汁蛋, 用蛋汁撈沙律吃又是一絕。

主菜三選二, 這晚的蛋包飯是溶岩奄列鮮茄意大利飯 (露筍及雞肉) 伴日式咖哩汁, 另一款主菜就捨長通粉而要燒紐西蘭羊扒伴日本紫蘇汁。咖哩汁略嫌太多道真是要做到溶岩的效果, 搞到蛋包飯像汪洋裡的孤島! 其實好像平常蛋包飯加茄汁那樣加兩行在飯上便行了。裡頭的意大利飯也太濕了一點, 都給茄醬弄得有點黏糊糊的, 而且外面的始終是味道相對濃烈的咖哩汁, 因此蓋過了飯的味道。可能最正統那款蛋包飯會好吃一點, 不過這個也不算太差啦。另外那個燒羊扒呢, 排得靚靚, 要了七成熟, 生熟度也是弄得差不多的了, 至於那個紫蘇汁, 其實紫蘇是什麼味道的呢? 因為只像是普通燒汁的味道罷了。

套餐包甜品兩個, 是日甜品是橙酒朱古力慕思餅, 我點了來吃, 友這天不大想吃朱古力,就加 $10 要了雲石芝士餅配鮮果。我的朱古力慕思餅大大件, 相比友人的芝士餅是抵吃得多, 朱古力味濃, 其實伴著上頭的忌廉吃會沒那麼膩, 不過我不愛吃忌廉, 所以還是撥走了大部分; 橙味不是我事前看過餐牌的話可能也嘗不出來。

到了咖啡或茶的環節, 在之前食物水準平平的情況下, 倒是有個留前鬥後之勢。咖啡和茶的杯碟應是全餐最美的食具了, 因為主菜和甜品的碟子也沒啥花紋 (不過別小看了, 這裡用的食具都是 Noritake 出品, 貴嘢來的, 甜品碟是鍍上了白金邊的 Rochelle Platinum 系列呀 )。友人要了薄荷茶, 我就當然要咖啡了。咖啡如同文食友所言, 是沒有味的, 所以朋友無須驚嘆於我喝齋啡的能耐, 薄荷茶是原片茶葉泡的, 反而更好喝。

雖然食物沒什麼驚喜, 不過可以欣賞漂亮的餐具, 也算值回票價, 俾個笑啦。

I have always imagined that if there is any good Omelette Rice in Hong Kong, then this would be the closest to the real Japanese thing. Afterall, the photos show promise - plus its owned by a world famous Noritake Tableware company! So here I was roughly 1.5 months ago on a weekend. Ordered Afternoon Tea with Coffee as well with an Omu-rice set:

Japanese Eggs Omu-rice with Chicken and Shiso -
On the menu, there were a few Omu-rice options but none looked like they were going to work out in terms of combinations of flavours, as they were plain weird, some even had fruits in them. This seemed like a safer choice.

In Japan - there are 2 main types of highly regarded Omu-rices, not counting the poorer thinner versions. The Style A - more unusual one is a bit more fancier, as its laid on top of a rice instead of pre-wrapped, then the waiter cuts along the middle and the whole 'runny' omelette begins flipping over on itself. In theory this is harder to cook (but I believe the other Style B might be harder, if desired to be done completely perfectly) but in actuality Style A doesn't necessarily taste better as the egg layer is much thinner. With the more common Style B that we get here, the eggs really ought to be both runny and moist, thick, yet still holding its shape intact wrapped around the rice underneath.

Here, at first glance it looked promising enough.. Unlike most places which serve a separate thin Eggy pancake on top like a 和尚帶帽 dish, this looked like it had a thickish egg wrapped around the rice properly. Upon cutting it open however, I realised that the eggs were quite over-cooked and in the middle especially, there just wasn't enough thickness in the egg omelette. There also wasn't ANY eggs taste. The rice was also over-cooked and slightly mushy from the what seemed like commercial tomato sauce - they weren't as sticky as I'd have liked either as it was falling apart. There;s nearly no chicken despite the menu saying so, and little shiso taste. The positive thing about it is that, the external tomato based sauce was home-made from real tomato.

Overall - this wasn't bad but its not good enough. However to be absolutely fair, most regular Omu-rice in Japan aren't that flashy either, unless you visit the famous dedicated shops, usually run by old-style maids and butlers for some reason who like to pour sauce on the table for you. The choices available here weren't appealing either, not a single offering had the demi-glace sauce option which is usually available, I also wouldn't mind a curry or creamy one too.

I give it 7.0/10 for omelette, 4.0/10 for rice.


Afternoon Tea with Niji Self-Blended Coffee -
This was more disappointing than the Omelette Rice. It contained dried sandwiches, overcooked Truffle oil infused Scrambled Eggs and very simple cake slices, 2 super hard scones with fresh cream and A(d)zuki red beans paste, Flaky breadsticks with an unmistakable supermarket purchased 'Cottees or Cadbury' chocolate dip with its unique sour and watery texture/taste that's such a put-off, its only possible usage would be to pour over ice cream as a topping for punishing naughty children!

The Regular coffee meanwhile was completely tasteless and even crema-less - yet they advertise it on big billboards with a Take-out discount special and you can buy their beans from the Noritake shop side as well (they're roasted in Hong Kong not imported from Japan).


A Major Disappointment - considering the shop's classy pedigree. Once again, we're getting duped. Although overall this doesn't deserve a Crying Face, as it was barely acceptably OK - I think NIJI and NORITAKE deserves one because it failed to delivery and I only came here believing naively that a 'Famous Brand name' would have tried harder to make the experience a more pleasant one for the customer.

每個月都會找一間餐廳享受一頓豐富的午/晚餐，作為生活上的調劑。Niji是期望已久的餐廳，但是也可能如此，令我們失望了。

是晚點了一份citi bank的優惠晚餐，另點了一份蛋包飯。

先來的是一份前菜，分別是蟹肉沙拉、薯仔沙拉和南瓜湯。每樣的份量都細細份，蟹肉沙拉是用wasabi調味，很刺鼻，不太喜歡。薯仔沙拉就是正常的味道，南瓜湯是最好的一味，很creamy。

然後是間場的雪笆，夠凍不過有點過甜，是芒果味來的。

主菜是明太子意炒，意粉有咬口，不錯。不過好像愈吃愈咸，不太對勁。

蛋包飯，選了橙酒汁，蛋是蠻滑的，飯粒粒分明，也好吃。只是覺得太「橙」了。

套餐的甜品也是細細份，個人覺得芝士餅味道最好。

另外想了好久要不要再點一個menu上的甜品，想著可能不會再來了，於是點了一個巧克力慕絲。賣相是很好，可是又有橙味，而且又不是很幼滑，有點後悔沒點panna cotta。

餐後我點了檸檬茶，不錯。男友的咖啡，原來不太好喝。

服務不太好，很趕很趕的。催落單，上菜極快，連雪笆沒吃完就上主菜，真的不太好啊。

和好友原來已九個月沒見, 快快來聚舊吧!

這店以日本品牌"NORITAKE"的瓷器餐具為selling point, 當然那些杯杯碟碟也都令人賞心悅目.

要了薯仔菜沙律,燒牛肉粒跟wasabi sauce為小食, 帶子龍蝦汁risotto為主菜.

沙律分開兩份, 一碗是薯仔沙律, 另一碗盛著新鮮蔬菜. 最注目的是呈上多達十款的醬汁, 滿足貪心的我每款也試上, 比較得我歡心是芝麻醬, 其餘有柚子醬, wasabi 沙律醬, 油醋汁, 蛋黄醬, 千島醬等.

燒牛肉粒未知是否攤凍了才吃, 覺得十分之普道, 最不濟是十分之韌和有渣.

帶子龍蝦汁risotto顏色是橙橙的, 吃到蝦汁的鮮甜, 可惜帶子又是像牛肉粒的過韌, 火喉還是食物質素問題呢?

經過店員多番 “催促”後, 終也叫了甜品吃. 朋友要了香滑焦糖布甸, 看樣子也不錯, 我則要了橙酒朱古力慕絲蛋糕, 排場不錯也認真, 碟上有朱古力粉灑上的nuji字, 朱古力慕絲蛋糕份量也不小, 朱古力香濃中帶微微的橙香, 質地偏結實, 不算是滑滑慕絲, 但整體不錯, 全晚最好吃~~

多謝好友為我拍下這些食物照, 更多謝好友請客, 嘻嘻~~

一心黎個下午茶點知要等位, 於是想放棄之制, 比小女子見到雪櫃有好多肥肥既樽仔, 原來係我至愛既布甸, 有二款口味, 而我剛則選了綠茶味

邊行邊食 …. 質感唔夠滑但勝在保留了澀澀地既綠茶原味, 面層多了一層 Starberry Jam, 感覺微酸幾得意, 個人喜歡這個多於Milk Top, 下次一定要試原味

常說香港沒有蛋包飯吃，只有蛋加飯。但聽講niji的蛋包飯在香港算是很不錯的，就找一天約朋友過來試試。

上次沒有訂座，結果沒有得吃；今次預早打電話訂了位，卻發現空檯比客人更多，認真吹漲。環境方面，檯與檯之間的空間太少了，說話大聲一點也怕騷擾到隔離檯，很不方便。

一心來吃蛋包飯，這一味當然唔少得。望望餐牌，也有五、六款味道的蛋包飯，後來選了牛肉洋蔥蛋包飯。另外，我也想食意粉，再選一客明太子扁意粉，大家分享。

蛋包飯漲卜卜的，日本蛋呈很靚的黃色，賣相誘人。切開，蛋與飯都尚算緊貼，很黏口的珍珠米，加入了牛肉粒和洋蔥粒，味道也不太差，在香港吃過的蛋包飯，這裡算是有水準的了。當然，跟日本的出品還是差一點。真不明白，日本Food Court都可以做好的蛋包飯，在香港這美食天堂卻偏偏吃不到。

明太子扁意粉，上面鋪滿紫菜絲，撈勻後馬上試試。質感幼滑的意粉，每條均沾上明太子，加上美味的紫菜，不比蛋包飯差。

吃罷咸點，似乎未能滿足，還是要吃些甜品才覺完滿。甜品只得四款，選擇太少了，最終揀了紅豆綠茶芝士蛋糕和橙酒朱古力慕絲蛋糕。

先吃較淡味的紅豆綠茶芝士蛋糕，紅豆幾香，綠茶味得宜，蛋糕質感實在，甜度適中，是意想不到的好；橙酒朱古力慕絲蛋糕，橙味清新，帶點點酒香，朱古力味濃郁，質感幼滑濕潤，也令人回味。

結尾的咖啡和mohca，兩者均香濃可口，為今餐劃上美滿的句號。

服務生殷勤有禮，但稱不上專業，仍有改善空間。埋單二百六十蚊，價錢相當親民，我想我會再來的。
