This is one of my favor restarant, simply for its salad bar and the location. Unlike those crowd restarant on the next two floors, this dinning room seems locates in a special corner. The cheese plate of the buffet table is my favorite. The dessert bar is nothing surprise but still fine to most of the people.

The main courses change periodically, depends on its theme in that month. Honestly speaking, its quality usually won't harm you and even better than those in the same group.

In term of its price (less than HK$200 with HSBC Visa Card), this semi-buffet is absolutely a good and comfortable place for having dinner in TST Harbour City.

As I was open-ricing for a suitable restaurant for dinner on the 14 Aug 09, something caught my attention on the coupon section - 「安格斯牛之盛宴」半自助晚餐 (Angus Beef Dinner buffett). See: http://www.openrice.com/coupon/detail.htm?CouponId=1361
I immediately booked a table for 3 at around 8.30pm and luckily there were tables available.

I shall shorten my food review into the following bullet points:

*What's GOOD about it?
The atmosphere was excellent. A rather high-ended but approachable restaurant. There was live piano music playing as I was sitting nearby the performer - a very relaxing evening I would say.
The appettizer and desserts could be choosen from the buffett area. The food quality was excellent as well as a wide range of choices. The chef constantly looked out for the amount of food left and dishes were frequently taken into the kitchen for addings. A must try would be the vegetables soup and the melons - very unforgettable!
The main dishes are chosen from a menu provided. My family and I have chosen the signature dish - Angus beef with potatoes and vegetables. We ordered medium raw for the angus beef - it was delicious. The texture was just right and the sauces given collabrated with the softness of the beef. This is another must-have!
The price of the meal was acceptable as there was a 75 折優惠 - it was worthwhile afterall.

*What's BAD about it?
The only thing I would comment about the meal was that the waiters were a bit slow on serving. If you are in a hurry, I would not recommend you to come. However, it was alright for me as I enjoyed the live paino playing while I waiting for the food.
Another thing is that there were limited seats so book the tables early to avoid disappointment!

周六約母親大人行街食飯.得知Prince Hotel Lobby Lounge 有個Haagen-Dazs的Tea Buffet.所以興誌濃濃,打着電話訂座,本來高高興興地等待周六的雪糕洗禮,但當我閱讀完OpenRice的食評後,那些有彈無讚的食評令我感覺有如跳入千尺冰洞,整個人寒晒原因不想破壞與母親大人約會的興誌.....
到了最後一刻約了大人在尖咀等...ニ人來到Louge,地方細細,但坐座也算舒適,中間小枱上放着沙律和小食,人客不算太多,大都斯斯文文,這種感覺,反而落得舒服,.
沙津蔬菜新鮮爽脆,開胃小菜需然選擇不多,但大蝦,tuna,青口也新鮮鮮甜,
熱葷两大盤,猪頸肉嫩滑好味,蝦球夠香,推介腐皮卷,外脆內入味,其他一般,牛肉菜式彼多,可惜小弟乾媽是觀音,罪過!
喊面今次俾着甜品,好失望的一回,酒店Buffet甜品肯定不會失色,但這次的甜品平均分係0,蛋糕差過一般餅店,塔皮又硬又實,所有甜品無牛油香味,又無奶油香味,連我甜品狂都1round投降
氣憤之際待應送上Haagen-Dazs主題甜品,賣相一般,燒焦的蛋白下藏着芒果,咖啡,夏威夷果仁雪糕,好彩名牌雪糕架到,撲息心中怒火!
開始讓味蕾接受Haagen-Dazs的洗禮.綠茶,芒果,夏威夷果仁,紅莓四朵金花輪流進攻我的舌頭...爽呀,
香滑咖啡過後,再次[安歌]綠茶和夏威夷果仁......
好難俾分.環境是我理想中,人少少,夠舒服,食物選擇真的少得可憐,但今次的目的也算完滿達成,母親大人好開心,而我也好滿足Haagen-Dazs的洗禮,每人佰幾蚊,開心是無價,滿足也是無價.....

首先講返三個月前食過既[有機智]brunch先.(因為實在太好,不得不提)無論係食物質數同服務都好好. 百零蚊既半自助brunch有餐湯(係order形式,有2款揀),一杯有機mix果汁,有main course,仲有餐茶tim. 自助bar有沙律,熱盤(全部都係有機食材)同甜品.仲有自製窩夫機同haagen dazs雪糕. 簡直係超抵!!! French brulee焦糖夠脆又唔會過甜,超正!芒果千層餅層酥皮好脆,正! tiramisu好滑好輕,好味!
waitress姐姐Fanny服務殷勤又細心. 喺收碗既時候見到友人飲剩大半碗湯,就問係唔係唔啱飲. 總之各方便都係超水準之作.

有過之前咁好既體驗,今晚再試[野味.鵝肝新煮意]半自助晚餐. 終於知道點解呢度既食評會咁差. 自助bar既食物種類明顯比brunch少.沙律得兩款(腰豆粟米沙律同薯仔沙律).熱盤得一款(腸仔意大利粉,仲要係凍既).好在有火腿同芝士啫.我覺得羊奶芝士同艾登芝士都唔錯,友人則較喜歡意大利藍芝士.其餘都係d醃菜. 餐湯都係喺自助bar度,得一款.甜品方面都較失色.只有朱古力tar較好味.呢個用鵝肝命名既主題原來得一個main course係有鵝肝.

服務方面都比brunch差好遠. May姐姐說話有禮,但卻一臉不奈煩既表情. 今時今日咁既服務態度真係差到不行. 另外離我們較遠既一枱客人order了炒麫,吃了一口覺得太醎. 要求要另一個炒飯但炒麫既錢照付. May姐姐向上頭匯報既時候話:[個客話個麫好Q醎喎....]
另外,waiter哥哥可能好少招呼我哋呢d咁草根又唔跟餐桌禮儀食野既客人. 一見我哋食完個main course就幫我哋收哂d餐具. 友人當然立即阻止,waiter哥哥都無道歉.

不過用呢個價錢食個半自助晚餐,水準係咁上下咖喇~

環境較我想像中細, 自成一角也有好處, 不用看見人行來行去。可是, 自由人於 check in 時高聲談話卻是聽到的。

選擇不多, 有小吃、沙律、冷盤、雪糕和甜品, 水準不錯, 適合聊天。 有幾款熱的小吃, 味道與賣相也不錯。其中有一樣是腐皮, 又脆又好吃, 較一些素食店還好吃。

甜品方面, 每款甜品都加上少少燕窩, 所以不要期望燕窩是主菜。 燕窩本身是無味, 配上各款甜品也有特色。 估不到這裡的 tiramisu 好好味, 又 creamy 又有酒味。 數量不多, 要, 每次廚師拿數小碟, 所謂手快有手慢冇。Brule 也好, 只是甜了一點。

最意外是每人有一個青蘋果雪芭, 感覺清新, 但吃完都幾凍。

價錢合理, 用 hsbc 咭埋單有折o架!

Walk-in and lucky that we can get the seat. It was a surprise to have extra discount (total 25% discount) on Fri night using HSBC Credit Card.

Environment was nice. Long distance between tables, only around 10 tables in the restaurant. Have life music and singer, a very relaxing environment for dating / chatting. Just the table was a bit small.

We ordered:
Grilled Lamb Chops - was ok, could have been better. I think it have been a bit overcooked. Taste of sauce was good.

Linguine with portobello and truffles - Linguine was ok. But I can't taste much of both smell and taste of truffles as expected...

Oven-seared fillet of red snapper - was we waited too long to ask for main dish to come up? It's again a bit over-cooked. But taste was good.

One more thing about the service was really good. The waiter proactively offer to take photos for us.

Overall, I think the price and food are in proportion. Not expecting too much for this price.

9.8.2008

早前，我哋八婆一族再度出擊，今次係小嵐介紹嘅，佢有member card，所以有8折。

今次喱個係半自助餐，頭盤 & 甜品係自助，再加4選1嘅main course。

佢頭盤嘅沙律唔錯，好多嘢揀，而且用料算新鮮。

餐廳送上鬆軟 & 熱辣辣嘅麵包，再加橄欖油 & 黑醋，好味！

仲有，個湯都好正，係白湯嚟嘅，裏面好多料，又有洋蔥，好似有啲燕麥嘅嘢(I'm not sure)，總之好飲喇！

我個main course揀咗香煎海舫魚柳伴莧菜 & 香檳魚子汁，冇我想像中咁好味，可能食得太多沙律，哈哈！但魚質都好滑。

而甜品選擇唔多，我只食咗個什果撻 & 同一杯類似chocolate + raspberry嘅甜品，不過不失，唔會有太大驚喜。

講環境，間餐廳都算唔錯，因為唔會太多人，仲有音樂伴奏，都幾舒服，如果揀sofa位，更佳。

但我覺得service一般，可能唔夠人手，成日都揾唔到waitress，叫佢哋加水，有時都唔記得。

之前睇雜誌介紹, 話太子酒店有個AUQA DINNER SET, 所有牌子的礦泉水任飲, 加沙律, 主菜, 甜品, 餐飲都係158/SET, 就特登去試下

之前怕人多, 特登BOOK位, 但去到都好多位, 我地揀咗暗角, 否則真係幾易俾人見到食乜野囉

帶位的侍應生話, 佢地每星期有特別指定的礦泉水, 咁我地問, 可唔可以揀其他, 佢話可以, 但只可以揀定一種, 我地覺得好怪, 但都照揀咗, 但食到中途, 換咗其他侍應生, 佢地都好主動咁問我地要唔要轉飲其他牌子.

講番食物, 其實只可以話一般, 沙律就味道正常, 但唔可以話好味...

至於主菜, 有煎三文魚同千層麵, 千層麵都幾好食, 但三文魚就唔太OK, 有少少腥, 中間唔熟, 但表面就煎得好老... D 醬汁亦都唔係太好食...

甜品係士多啤梨朱古力慕士, 一般啦...

其實今次真係特登為咗試下各牌子的礦泉水而去, 我地總共試咗4個品牌, 但可能我對水的認識唔深, 所以除咗D水係有氣同冇氣, 我真係唔係太分到佢地的分別...... 食物又一般, 我估都未必再去住...

不過侍應生都很有禮貌, 所以整體黎講, 都算食得開心(用了信用咭折扣有9折)

起東方新地睇到個廣告, 主題係燕窩tea buffet, 又從來未去過呢度食過, 又有coupon八折, 於是約埋個朋友仔去食喇! 點知去到.....見到個大堂某個corner位(真係corner位)細到我想像唔到, 大家仲問....究竟係咪呢度?! 地方細都唔緊要, 連d食物都係唔多種類都算....仲以為佢有好多款係有燕窩喇, 點知數埋得4-5種, 仲要果d燕窩係得丁丁咁少, 雖然百幾蚊都唔expect好多, 但食物既質數都唔得至弊嘛!

我同朋友仔大家食左2 round已經可以食哂佢既食物, 而且所謂既燕窩蛋撻仔未到5點已經唔再refill(buffet 3:15pm-6pm). d蛋糕無特色, 又細舊, 全部都係用豉油碟仔載住, 八折左都唔抵食呀, 我從未食過buffet既飽肚感係得八成, 呢度係我第一次亦係我最後一次!

今日同朋友黎食tea buffet, 因為睇左東方新地既廣告,以為呢度有雪糕buffet食, 仲俾埋8折coupon, 所以就約左幾個fds黎食, 點知黎到先知唔係乜野雪糕buffet,只係buffet之後"送"一杯haagen dazs雪糕...佢咁都夠膽死叫"Haagen Dazs 冰淇狂熱下午茶自助餐"!!!
好...算我自己蠢俾佢個廣告誤導左...但佢地既service 真係令大家更氣上心頭!!!
一入到去...無人理...直情waiter都唔多個...之後坐低食野啦...點知佢連未食完既野都收鬼晒...我地唔知toilet響邊,就去問個staff,佢話響3/F,但佢又唔講點上去...我地問"行樓梯上???" 佢先話"行樓梯或者搭lift" 但係大佬呀...個lift響邊先得ga...搞到我地幾個四圍"鱷",勁樣衰...之後叫餐茶,個waiter已經勁唔耐煩,又無禮貌...上奶茶無奶...頂佢...連唔好意思都唔識講...
如果係普通餐廳,咁既service 我可以接受, but this is not the acceptable level of hotel dining service!!! 究竟班人有無train 過架.....我覺得西環既酒店service 都好過佢!!!
$110 去hyatt regency 食甜品buffet 好過!!!

仲有...個haagen dazs 雪糕...一定係最難食同賣唔去既flavour!!!
Black List!!!

今期主題係美肌纖果,
即係以水果做材料

地方細細,由於我們坐在窗邊,幾好
鹹點方面:
雞翼—煮得太耐,太”林”
sushi—似超級市場買那種
三文治—最好食係夾芝士
沙律—芒果蟹柳好味

甜點方面:
blueberry chesscake—唔太喜愛cheesecake的我,都覺得幾好味
石榴cake—幾特別,好香石榴味
strawberry chesscake—無blueberry咁好味
cookies—最好食係長形那種,有好多nuts
芒果布甸—表面的芒果好味,但布甸好似用了很多粉開成,
食了幾口就放棄

總結:
甜點比鹹點好,但其實只是合格
不過,難得星期六下午可以同三五好友嘆過tea
心情當然好好

呢度環境完全係唔好... 好細, 同好似好多路人行過咁,
d野食質素好一般... 我竟然冇食過佢個theme的賣點, 只係食其他野...
咸點有-炒飯, 炒烏冬, 西多士, 炸魚手指, 咖哩肉丸, 荷蘭豆炒牛肉, 豬頸肉, 燒賣, 牛肉燒賣, 粥,
冷盤有-三文治, 壽司,
甜品有-tiramisu, lemon cheese cake, 黑森林, jelly, rasberry cheese cake, 雲石cheese cake, 白朱古力蛋糕, 綠荼mousse, 芒果mousse cake...etc
仲有主辦單題既生果sushi, 有d生果係d飯上面, 見到已經唔想食...

講出色真係一樣都諗唔到... 應該係臨尾送既雪糕sushi, 不過都唔見得特別好味... $120既價錢食美麗華會好好多

一月尾應一位姊妹要求，由於她有coupon可以有扣折，而且無朋友陪，而我都喜愛食甜品，對芝士亦唔抗拒，當然樂意奉陪。

其實食物款式與其他下午茶buffet差不多，有中式點心、壽司、西多士、雞翼、冷盤、沙律、海鮮麵等，更有各式各様的芝士蛋糕，例如: 紐約芝士蛋糕、芒果芝士蛋糕、藍苺芝士蛋糕、Tiramisu。雖然款式不算多，不過如果要試完所有款式都好飽，總結大部份食物都好好味呀!

There are a lot of food to eat,like
Chinese food,Western food,Thai food
......The taste is very good and the atmosphere overthere is also good.It is very big,but not too expansive.I like it very much!!
