華星客棧 (Closed)

It was a nice dinner with friends that night, and also because of the convenience of extended MTR line in HK island, we even don't mind to travel a little bit to Sai Wan for the upgraded restaurant version of 華星冰室.The fame and quality is guaranteed by several local celebrities' effort, and we do appreciate their intereting trick to play with the menu, kind of HK Kung Fu style. To talk about the environment and quality, also including the menu, it was upgraded from a simple restaurant only serving standard meals to the more Cantonese restaurant style, offering fresh dishes and also some seafood dishes which requires the reseravation in advance.To start from the soup, it was such an amazing taste with almond milk/soup and fresh sweetness from the pork lung. It's the beauty of Cantonese soup indeed, and we just couldn't stop until finishing all.The chicken leg drum is also yummy with deep fried aroma and cripsy chicken skin. Inside it's sticky rice which mixed and cooked with some meaty soup I guess, to make it flavorful.Deep dried prawn was fresh and delicious with the speical sweet&sour sauce.Very special steamed meat dish. I liked the meat cake which was made seriuosly by quality meat parts, and it had perfect texture to be firm; plus a sense of salt-marinated fish. Yummy.I love those two soups, which also recalled my memory of mum's soup in Shanghai. It was the 'very-pepper' version which stimulate your tongue a lot!Another similar dish to Shanghainese's favorite taste, which is always very sweet and very sour. This version is less sweet but more salty, combined with sourness. It's super chill in this early summer, and the pork is really tender.Last dish was like a show, and perfectly matching to its name! The taste could be more alcoholic.I like the overall environment, the service and the good quality with reasonable price there, defintely will return to them some day.…Read More

華星冰室相信也不用多加介紹，食物款式比澳牛有過之而無不及，加上服務態度之好，加上周不時都會遇見明星，所以是值得大家去的。最近，他們靜悄悄地在西環開了一間名叫「華星客棧」的茶餐廳，賣的是一些小炒及精美的菜式，大家都感興趣，便動身去一嚐。雖然價錢會比普通茶餐廳貴一點點，但吃過後感到物有所值。店內裝修得很有特式，不同的部份皆用上古舊武俠片的名字，好像廚房叫御膳房，收銀叫做掌櫃等等，一下子像回到武俠片的時代。坐下後，發現一本秘笈，便打開來看一探究竟，其實它是一本設計精美的餐牌，菜式的名字也會改用上一些絕技的名稱，好像化骨綿掌、降龍十八炒等等，玩味十足，的確有心思。與朋友商量一番及參考網上食評後，點上的都是店中的招牌菜。除了餐牌上的菜式外，店員還會介紹一下是日推介的off menu菜式。見呢排天氣溫差太多，就點了【杏汁燉白肺湯】來暖暖身，有著霸氣的外號「如來神掌 – 萬佛朝宗」，每人一盅很豪氣，價錢實在便宜，只是$58一位。湯底清而不膩，有著杏汁的香氣，但杏味不會太強，恰到好處，而且用料豐富，由於太好喝的關係，差點連湯盅都吃掉。接著便是名為「化骨錦掌」的【鴛鴦糯米釀雞翼】，外面炸成金黃香脆，內裡則是黑糯米混合糯米，軟軟糯糯又帶點嚼感，而且調味還剛剛好。據說大廚來自農圃飯店，所以出品有一定的水準。侍應將一個砂煲放下，原來正是是日推介的【胡椒花甲煲】。一打開蓋，湯汁還是滾燙的，氣泡不斷冒出，輕輕撈起，發現份量都幾多，第一時間喝上一口胡椒湯，即時感到那股燙喉的胡椒味道，鮮味之餘還很辣，實在太好了，最喜歡就是夠辣的胡椒湯了，到最後，整煲湯也給我們喝光。突然聞到一股醋香，由【醋香豬扒】散發出來。不要以為很簡單，只是用上鎮江醋、糖及鹽就能煮出來，原因是由十多種醋混合後，再加上微微發酵。雖然聞到強烈的酸味，但味道卻一點也不灼喉，反而感到那股醇厚柔和的醋香，並且用上肥瘦均勻的豬扒，滋味得一發不可收拾，一件豬扒已可幹掉一碗白飯。同樣地，化名「打狗棒法」的【咸魚茸鮮魷蒸肉餅】也可令人幹掉數碗白飯的惹味菜式。餐牌內以新鮮手打來註名，所以特別彈牙，而且加入的咸魚茸令整體味道變得甚為惹味，配合細細碎碎爽口的魷魚粒，實在美味。整餐飯總要點纖維，所以來一個【金銀蛋浸莧菜】來濕濕口，滋潤一下。最後就以一個【脆麻花】來作結，小小的一年脆麻花，竟然帶來了無限的歡樂，炸得既香脆且鬆化，面上又灑有很軟綿綿的椰絲碎，不知是不是以糖霜代替了砂糖，吃來甜度亦恰到好處，好味。小小的一間茶餐廳，估不到竟是臥虎藏龍的驚喜小店，多款招牌菜都令我們心滿意足，非常美味，只是地方有點遙遠，不過港鐵通車後，過來亦十分方便。…Read More
