到了正日生日,從甜魔媽媽口中得知位於中環 PMQ 的 Vasco快將結業,那裏的午市套餐非常抵吃,而且食物水準上乘,臨別秋波,於是便相約我的 best friend,媽媽及阿P一齊食番個 B day Lunch!!PMQ是香港難得的藝術性質商場,除了大品牌外,這棟文物也臥虎藏龍了不少本地設計師,大家有時間也要多來逛逛啊!Vasco 的裝修、服務、食物質素都非常有水準,午市套餐價錢亦比晚市經濟很多。2 course menu $349,3 course menu $389,仲有一大堆免費的餐前小食及餐後甜品贈送,實在是物超所值,只可惜只營業到4月30日。這𥚃的頭盤、主菜以及甜品都提供三個選擇,我們一行四人當然將所有菜色都試哂,在此逐一向大家介紹這裏的餐前小食也絕不馬虎,服務員建議我們先吃那顆橄欖,然後再吃脆米,最後才吃蕃薯片。老實說味道中規中矩,難得的是,只需付上午餐的價錢,餐廳也做得這麼精緻。這裏的另一賣點便是用來伴 table bread 的橄欖油,有多達五款給食客選擇,貪新鮮的我們當然來一個 all-in,逐一試清楚味道。清香的檸檬味及草青味橄欖油最受大家歡迎,香蕉味及蘋果味感覺上

這裏的另一賣點便是用來伴 table bread 的橄欖油,有多達五款給食客選擇,貪新鮮的我們當然來一個 all-in,逐一試清楚味道。清香的檸檬味及草青味橄欖油最受大家歡迎,香蕉味及蘋果味感覺上有點奇怪,蕃茄味亦不錯。

比橄欖油更搶鏡的,便是這裏的 Table bread,兩款都外脆內軟。Vasco 除咗橄欖油講究外,牛油也款式多多,傳統的牛油加了一些海草精華,還有口味獨特的黑蒜牛油。

頭盤當中,最出色一定是媽媽的 artichoke soft cream with quail egg,流心的鵪鶉蛋與雅支竹忌簾芝士廉汁味道非常配合,是一道令人窩心的前菜。中間的和牛牛尾內混了一些洋蔥、青檸及酸青瓜,口感清新,我只略嫌牛肉有一點鞋口,但菜式的擺碟設計確實非常漂亮。最後的 yellow tail ceviche 是最令人失望的菜色,白身魚有點腥,配金橘及酸酸的牛油果醬,我們都嫌整體上味道太acidic。

主菜整體上都令人滿意,媽媽的 Norwegian Cod Fish 火候煎得好好,魚肉超級嫰,只可惜魚肉略欠鮮味。右手邊的 Braised Pork Cheek 沒有牛面肉般油膩,有彈性,阿P非常滿意。

主菜中最出色的一定是這裏的龍蝦risotto,賣相亦非常別緻,橙紅色的龍蝦飯放在透明的器皿上,即時為菜色加了不少分數。龍蝦汁味道極鮮,帶有濃濃的龍蝦香,飯內亦有粒粒龍蝦肉,分了一些給好朋友吃,她也大讚!

輪到甜品,大家都一致推崇中間的 Chinese tea ice cream,喜歡其茶味香濃,而且又不太甜,伴碟的朱古力蛋糕及香蕉件除了好看之外,亦好吃。朋友的乳酪雪糕配青蘋果汁亦不甘示弱,簡單清新。媽媽的Pana cotta 我就嫌太甜,紅色的cherry sorbet 我也嫌太甜,但阿P卻吃得津津有味。

真心覺得有點可惜,香港又少了一間做得非常不錯的 fine dining restaurant。餐廳會於五月開始進行大裝修,會轉做 casual Italian dining。到時我們一定會再幫襯!在此祝自己生日快樂,最希望的是身體健康,及阿P心情開朗。

It was his big love to bring me here. Not focusing much on Spanish cuisine, I had actually heard nothing about this restaurant, until it became my birthday lunch place.

Located at one level above Isono from the same restaurant group, Vasco is a Spanish (with a little French fusion) fine-dining place by Drawing Concepts.

The reception shares the same as Isono, and servers will guide you through stairs to eventually a rooftop with a greenhouse-like setting, and guests are the one to be pampered at this place.

This natural and clean environment instantly transformed into a golden interior design with dark wooden floorings and antique furniture when we entered. We were brought to a sofa seat which was quite spacious, at least not locating us too close to the adjacent table.

Lunch menu could be ordered in 2, 3 or 4 courses ($349, $389 and $558 respectively, plus 10% SC) 
**Good to have a glance at the lunch menu online as they changed the dishes every month*. 
Sometimes you may get yourself indulged further by adding extra black truffle at $99 supplement, or a selection of cheese as a dessert at $49 supplement.

Vasco did have a very strong gastronomic sense in terms of the whole menu design. The ingredients could be so interestingly and creatively paired up, which you could never aware that their flavor profiles could that intriguingly match together. You would never be disappointed if you like something different.

Hors d'Oeuvres (5/5): What a nice start to have them kick start our tasting journey.

i)Jumbo green olive stuffed with Campari cream and olive caviar

I am a big fan of green olives but it’s always hard to find big sized green olive in HK, only chance you could find is in GREAT or those that have been prepacked in jars.

The olive burst with a lot of juices and it went so well with the olive caviar which smoothened the mouthfeel. I couldn’t taste much of Campari though but I believe it did contributed to this juiciness somehow.

ii)Fish cracker with bell pepper sauce
A soso finger food but the cracker was crispy enough.

iii)Pickle with salmon roe
Salmon roe was fresh to go with sweet pickles! Crunchy enough with sweet-and-sour.

iv)Curry infused caramelized pistachio
Manager highlighted this to us and explained that the nuts are intentionally packed in this small plastic bag for preventing from losing its special curry infused aroma. The bouquet was actually intense in the mouth with some caramelized flavors.

Amuse bouche (4/5): King Crab Meat, bell pepper, Black garlic ice cream and dried black garlic crunches

It was our very first time to try the black garlic ice cream! Interestingly sour at first and with some toasted bread flavor, the black garlic did paired well with the juicy crab meat.

Pain (5/5):

Very rarely would a fine-dining restaurant served only a single kind of bread. And I think Vasco did because they wanted to put their emphasis on their premium olive oil and butter.

Their homemade sourdough however was also deliciously right on the mark. Right when you tore a piece out, the steam came all over! It was really really that hot enough bread which you wouldn’t get it cold even when you finished.

Butter from Bordier: (From the left) Beetroot, Spinach, Tomato, Mushroom and Original salted

Girls would always be impressed with colorful dish! I particularly love the tomato and mushroom flavor as their characteristic flavor were more pronounced and intense. The original salted butter was amazing too, it was really silky and soft when spreading at your hot sourdough.

Olive oil Brand (Origin): Flavor like
(From the left)
Oro Bailen (Spain): Green banana;
Mas Auró (Spain): Artichoke;
Santa Oliva (Spain):Almond;
Olivares del Derramador (Spain); Ripe tomato;
Terre Bormane Citrino (Italy): 30% Lemon Juice

Servers actually asked about our preference but we finally decided to have all five to try! All 5 olive oils did share one same attribute , they were all very complex in flavors yet so rich and elegant in bouquet.

I fell in love with Oro Bailen and Citrino. Both of them were of very strong flavor. Oro Bailen gave really grassy green banana taste; While the Citrino provided my first ever experience in tasting sour citrus olive oil. They were all so fresh.

Amuse bouche: Croissant with Iberico ham (4/5)

The manager recommended so much to us that this croissant must be consumed hot. We got a bite and that enduringly umami smell of fatty ham exploded in our mouth. Croissant itself was soft, moist but with crispy layers. Fantastic.

Asparagus curd with Mediterranean prawns, crunchy sweetcorn
and a touch of spice (5/5)


Have you tried Mediterranean sashimi? This was my very first time to try red prawn sashimi. The plate decoration was really enchanting and the prawns were like swimming in a special “white ocean” – the Asparagus curd. The prawn was incredibly sweet and fresh, I could say this has been the best prawn sashimi (if not counting Scampi in AUS) I ever tried. Topped with the asparagus curd, the sweetness between vegetable and fish just doubled together so harmoniously. A very nice tickle to appetite!

Fregola risotto style with sea urchin, mussels and crustacean mayonnaise (3.5/5)

Fregola is a dot shaped pasta very common in North Africa, getting this special pasta cooked like risotto seemed interesting to us. The Fregola was slightly larger in size than we expected and was wrapped with reddish orange crustacean sauce. Mussels were small in size but juicy.

To me, cooking sea urchin could hardly give a very pronounced flavor as it is to be eaten fresh. This dish could not get over of this barrier because additionally the crustacean sauce was so muscular to cover other ingredients. It was a bit not easy to finish the dish.

Fresh strawberries with shiso sorbet and yoghurt sponge (5/5)

I was very amazed by Vasco’s dessert creations with their inspiring and innovative ingredients. My another first trial to shiso sorbet also happened in Vasco. The sorbet gave a sense of sweetness like mint gum but at the same time brought forward the crispiness of Shiso. No doubt to be enjoyed in summer together with fresh strawberries and the fluffy yoghurt sponge. Very clean and refreshing to my palate indeed!

Petit-Four: Hazelnut powder candy, caramel chocolate and Financier (4/5)

Out stomach were already so filled up when we finished the 3 courses (and all amuse bouche and breads). However, the petit four was just so beautiful that you could never resist it.

I was very much impressed with the hazelnut powder candy (wrapped in candy paper) as it was surprisingly creamy and infused with Nutella-like aroma which recalled so much my childhood memories.

Caramel chocolate was also smooth with moderate sweetness, while financier was a bit dry but eggy though.

The climax of the day arrived when server brought me a birthday card with my name written; and an instant camera to capture this sweet moment. So thankful that my boy brought me here and arranged this little surprise.

Finally for Tea/Coffee, just knew that Vasco has a mixed Chamomile and Lavender tea. That was super super relaxing and lay-back when having a zip after this comprehensive lunch. Nice one :>

Service at Vasco was professional. Servers and Managers all around you are so humble and eager to help as always; they are also very experienced about the whole menu. I did enjoy the spacious setting in Vasco. There could actually be rooms for more tables but instead they make use of elegant furniture (and many are nice sofa) to setup each corner for best experience.

Just one thing that caused slight nuisance was the bumping noise whenever people walked on the wooden floor. Not sure but it was so obvious that I could always feel people coming back and forth.

To mention about “fine-dining”, I just keep one ruler to all:
From the start to the very end, every served items should show passion.
And I am so much impressed with this lunch because Vasco handles every detail carefully, from finger foods to butter; and from the furniture they used for dining and to the utensils they have prepared for you in washroom.

P.S. When browsing the webpage of Drawing Concepts, just recognized that one of the managers here was from my favorite restaurant in the past – Messina. Hope to meet him again in my next visit. :>
Other Info. : Highly recommend to book a table rather than walk-in to ensure seat availability.

本年沒有什麼時間去旅遊,我倆唯有食左當去左。PMQ一直是我們常常愛來的地方,這次就趁特別日子來奢華一番。裝潢格調很高,聽說花了數千萬。座位餐具等等一絲不苟。Amuse Bouche 讓人花多眼亂,色味俱全。漂亮的五色牛油,還有不同的橄欖油選擇。生帶子和薄薄的一片紅彩頭質感很特別。煙熏的味道很突出。畫龍點睛的是那一顆“珍珠”裡的湯汁。一餐裡最美味最特別的一道,湯裡的鵝肝在口內融化。美麗的一幅畫。主角西班牙紅蝦實在太鮮甜,配角亦令到味蕾大爆炸。生熟拿捏得很好的鴿子,非常軟嫩。新穎的朱古力和威士忌冰配搭。一餐非常滿意的Fine Dining,除了味道上乘外,亦帶來新的視覺味覺感受,新的餐飲意念,讓我倆度過了美滿的一晚。

Here we go with the Chef tasting menu:

 Bread loaf, extra virgin olive oil & butter 
I have to praise them for their seriousness in offering the bread loaf with a full varieties of olive oil and butter. I was also told that the restaurant doesn’t offer balsamic vinegar since the chef strongly against it. He thinks the balsamic vinegar will ruin the superb taste of their olive oil. Good point and I don’t mind trying the olive oil alone and the whole range was impressive. For the butter series (carrot & beetroot are interesting), I enjoyed the mushroom (truffle) one the most as it got along so well with the sour dough.

I am surprised to see 3 amuse bouches prepared by the restaurant, this was somehow quite pampering. Overall, their amuse bouches are creative and carefully planned to make each of them differently in order to tickle the palate of the diners before they kicked off the meal.

 Farmhouse egg with toasted butter & truffle foam + black truffle, duck consomme infused with citronelle, cured iberico pork loin
I regretted that so much (still regretting) we added the truffle to match the farmhouse egg. If I read the menu carefully, I will never mess up the lovely truffle in a soup base dish. The scent of the truffle was gone and it became tasteless and soggy the moment it was soaked in the consommé. How could the waiter not reminded us on that but convincing us to have the truffle go with the consommé?!

 Monkfish cooked with Basque dressing, grebiche sauce, white chocolate & mussel emulsion
I believe I have said that a trillion times that it’s challenging to prepare a fish dish. Vasco has done a good job here as they picked the right fish – monkfish which is tender and not easily overcooked. The seasoning was fine and I am happy to see the interesting combination of white choco and mussel emulsion as it thickened and intensified the taste of the sauce.

 Red Palamos prawn & sea urchin on a seabed with crustacean mayonnaise
This dish scored 100 points on its presentation as the whole setting did relate to the theme of ocean and sand beach. But then, the ingredients alone were not impressive, the prawn tasted good on its own but I don’t see the chemistry among the other ingredients though.

 Chargrilled French pigeon, pork & mushroom cannelloni, pineapple & liver toast
This was the best dish of the night and it went so well with the Red wine too. The pigeon was prepared to perfection and you could still see the warm red flesh inside which was so tender that I felt like eating the Wagyu beef, it almost melted in my mouth. I like the intense freshness taste of pigeon but not gamey at all and I finished everything on the dish since they were so good. A must try signature dish from Vasco!

Nice portion and well mixed of ingredients. The compressed melon was a bit on the sweet side which I hope they can tone down it down in the future. Personally, I don’t really like the taste of yogurt bom bom, felt like it’s something from another planet to go with this dessert dish.

一早已於openrice看到這餐廳
一直想試
今晚終於可以一試

這元創方也真是第一次來
餐廳位於Block B
基於我們在Block 那邊下車
所以要行一段小路才找到餐廳

不過一到餐廳我已被裝修吸引了
晚餐時間餐廳開七點
我們也準時七點到達
以我一看我們是第一位客人到達呢

服務員們都禮貌而有笑容地打招呼

好吧..入正題
我們二話不說點了Chef Tasting Menu
這晚餐每道菜味道都很平均

味道都比較清新帶小許酸味
正好吊吊胃口令我更是開胃

而它們的麵包送到我們面前溫度剛好
而無論是橄欖油還是牛油都各有五種選擇
牛油中我最愛的是原味和蘑菇味

吃到肉質並不是養魚而是野生魚

而且每道菜的醬汁味道配對方面都很平均
更喜愛的是我不愛甜吃
但我可以接受到第一道甜品
味道不會太甜
而第二三道外觀都很美
但對不愛甜吃的我只能吃一小口

最近很喜歡到中環的PMQ元創方,這座由荷李活道舊警察宿舍活化而成的建築,不僅是了解香港創意設計的好去處,同時也是品嚐美食的好地點。在七樓有一家大有來頭、走巴斯克風西班牙餐廳 Vasco,由來自巴塞隆拿米芝蓮兩星餐廳Lasarte 的西班牙名廚 Paolo Casagrande 擔任行政總廚,並連同西班牙美食大師 Martin Berasategui 攜手合作。餐廳裝潢氣派有格調,走進Vasco,不由得放輕腳步、說話也放輕,免得破壞高雅的氣氛。如果想把經典的特色菜色都試一下,行政總廚品味套餐是不錯的選擇,分別有五道菜($880)及八道菜($1180)兩款。而為了讓大廚專注處理同一菜單,確保食物的質素穩定,所以同桌的客人都必須點同樣的款式。正常情況下,五道菜已經很夠吃。菜式的用料非常講究,選用西班牙紅蝦、刺身級海膽等食材入饌,並透過低溫慢煮手法完美呈現食材的鮮味。單是作為前菜之一的麵包籃,已顯現心思,焗得外脆內軟的麵包味道固然不俗,但它的好搭檔牛油卻教人眼前一亮,五個顏色的牛油分別有五種味道,分別是紅菜頭、菠菜、番茄、蘑菇和原味牛油,配著麵包吃,每一口都有不同的滋味。四款小食分別是:Gor

安娜小知識:巴斯克美食
巴斯克(Basque)泛指法國西南部及西班牙中北部一帶省份,當地氣候溫和靠山近海,海鮮漁獲豐盛,由於受西法菜系影響,菜式揉合兩國風情,精美與美味兼備。賣相呈精緻的法國菜風格,但食材以最新鮮的地道海鮮為主,再配合肉類、豆類、番茄、青椒及橄欖,在傳統烹調中加添創意的方法炮製出全新風格的特色菜。

Besides Isono Eatery & Bar, Vasco Fine Dining is the other restaurant from the Drawing Room Concepts located in PMQ. Led by Chef Paolo Casagrande of 2 Michelin star Larsarte Restaurant in Barcelona, Vasco offers Spanish gastronomy in an upscale eatery which reminds me of a luxurious train compartment with its sleek and modern metallic decor. Booths with lush sofa seats are spaced out for a private and exclusive dining experience.

I made reservations for lunch online which was convenient as I can see right away whether spots were available or not. On the day before, I received a call confirming my booking and reminding me that the dress code for guys is smart casual (no shorts, no sleeveless shirts, no flip flops). Lunch at Vasco is priced at $329 for 2 courses and $369 for 3 courses.

I thought this was the amuse bouche at first but turned out that this was just some things for us to whet our appetite. With caviar stuffed olives, grissini wrapped with iberico ham, chili roasted pistachios and foie gras crispy sandwiches, I was impressed with the care and thought that went into these innovative creations and we haven't even gotten to the real food yet. Off to a great start!

Before our bread came, 5 different kinds of olive oil were wheeled in front of our table for our choosing. I forgot what each of them were already but each one had a slightly different characteristic: one was creamier, one was more grassy, etc. I tried the 4th bottle from the left which was supposed to be creamier and it was good.

Our wheat sourdough bread arrived with 5 different kinds of butter! The sourdough bread was top-notch like the ones from Serge et Le Phoque but the butter was spectacular as well! From left to right: beetroot, spinach, tomato, porcini mushroom and plain. The butter was so soft and flavorful - my favorites were tomato and mushroom!

Our real amuse bouche of the meal was a pickled mussel in tomato sauce. The mussel was a tad too sour but the sweet tomato sauce helped to balance the flavors a little.

Trout tartare - with orange, curd cucumber and trout caviar. The flavors were not bad but texture was too dense and with not enough sakura prawn crackers to spread it on, it was hard to finish it just by itself.

Mains

Veal loin "a la plancha" - with roasted artichokes, olive oil mash potatoes and mustard sauce. The veal loin was a bit average in taste while the texture could be more tender as the meat was a bit tough. I had to spit out a chunk that I couldn't chew through at all.

Sauteed prawns - with fresh peas ragout, curry and coffee emulsion. Loved how nicely seared the prawns were on the outside but would have been better if the insides were less cooked for that perfectly soft and bouncy texture. The emulsion went quite well with the prawns actually and not weird at all given the combination.

Dessert

White chocolate and basil cream with mango sorbet and lime jelly - only I opted for the dessert and I chose this abstract painting of sweetness which reminds me of the desserts at ATUM Desserant. I love how intensely rich and thick the mango sorbet was but while each of the ingredients tasted great by themselves, we weren't sure if everything went well together. I mean the flavors didn't clash but at the same time didn't really come together cohesively either.

I was awe-inspired by this gorgeous glass casing which held our petit fours! We each got a roasted almond madeleine, blueberry soft jelly candy, and hazelnut toffee in red candy wrapper. I liked the hazelnut toffee the most as it was smooth and light but the blueberry jelly was really sour for some reason.

Verdict - I came away very impressed with the immaculate care and thought that went into every single detail of this restaurant from the decor to the service and of course the food. I will definitely go back for dinner to try its full potential!

第二道開胃小菜來到之前,送上店方自製的麵包,隨後把放了橄欖油的小車推過來,當然還有最注目的五色牛油。我自己選了中間那支帶果味的橄欖油,這樣子拼起來清香輕盈,而且麵包質感十分鬆軟,連邊位也不會太硬。五款牛油分別為鹽味丶鮮菌味丶蕃茄味丶菠菜和紅菜頭味,後面的四款口味都十分突出,但個人就較愛香濃的菇菌味,放上微溫的麵包上瞬間溶為一體,更添一番風味。

接下來的終於來到我們餐牌上所選的菜式了。因為另外兩款前菜為牛和鵝肝這兩款我們大家都不吃的食材,我們都選了這款以魚肉為主的魚羹。香滑的魚羹加入紅椒丶西班牙香腸,質感順滑如慕絲,也可以和上面的脆片同吃,風味截然不同。

我選了這份集各款海鮮的主菜,再澆上以番紅花的湯汁。那顆巨型帶子看似簡單,味道卻一直令我們念念不忘。記得我和姐姐都是十分喜愛帶子,餐牌上有它的出現總會點一客來吃,身邊的朋友看到亦會很自然地幫我們點一客,而這裡外脆內軟的質感,和番紅花的鮮甜就讓我們一吃便愛上了。C先生所點的南瓜意大利飯看似不多,吃起來那濃郁的香味卻令人很飽足。

最後的甜品環節我選了味道較清新的檸檬撻,檸檬香味顯得較為內儉,酸度也不是令人眯起雙眼的程度,是較為溫和的清香。正因為如此,旁邊的蛋白泡沫也不會太甜,和脆粒伴吃也不錯。

Sometimes, I have a meal that's so magnificent, that I simply can't wait to write about it.

Vasco, Spanish fine dining, was one of the most exquisite dining experiences I've had in a long time! Big call, I know, but there it is.

Located in the heritage listed and superbly renovated Police Married Quarters (PMQ) site on the corner of Aberdeen Street and Hollywood Road, Vasco is one of a handful of restaurants that calls the site home. If you've not been to the PMQ before, it's probably worth your time, with restaurants, art studios and just an all round cool spot to hang out (especially once a month for the night markets).

We'd first spotted Vasco while visiting the aforementioned night markets and somehow knew that it was going to be a special event. So, on a Tuesday night, after a huge day at work, we'd arranged to treat ourselves to the mind and kitchen of Chef Paolo Casagrande formerly of two-Michelin-starred Lasarte Restaurant in Barcelona. Located on the 8th floor, we took the large service elevator, then final few steps upstairs to the top floor of the PMQ and plush looking entrance to Vasco.

We were warmly greeted and shown to our (almost) private dining room, which had space for two tables only. A quick peek through the restaurant seemed to show a series of small (almost) private dining rooms, which helped provide a feeling of being the only (and most important) people in the restaurant - our own private Spanish dining room. While this was a fabulous approach, the vibe that you find in a really happening restaurant was somewhat missing.

Our fantastic waiter spent some time running through the menu, which included two tasting menus; the chef's tasting and Vasco tasting, as well as a more traditional a la cart option. We were informed that the chef's tasting menu was comprised of the signature dishes from the restaurant, which made our decision quite an easy one. After confirming our selection, our Spanish culinary journey began.

Interestingly enough, the meal started with an olive oil sommelier rolling in a trolley of beautiful looking olive oil options to pair with our loaf of warm crusty bread. After hearing of the flavours and textures of the oils, we both opted for the buttery valderrama olive oil. Not content with impressing us with a selection of olive oils, the crusty bread also came with a range of butter flavours, which not only looked colourful, they ensured eating the bread was a tasting journey in it's own right.

Setting the scene on the tasting menu to come, we were then assaulted with a procession of amuse bouche that kicked off with a share plate of bites that included an olive stuffed with campari and caviar; air dried wagyu rosti, roasted pistachio nuts and a stunning foie gras sandwich. I would have been satisfied with that selection but the small bites kept coming with a beautiful little bowl of smoked sardine with a foam and then a stunning bell pepper and potato sauce with a big fat mussel sitting proudly in the middle..... All delicious.

The tasting meal then kicked off with a wonderfully presented dish of raw, diced Hokkaido scallops with cockles and a thin film of beetroot, accompanied by a jalapeno and sangria foam. Providing an extra dimension was a frozen yoghurt that helped cool the slight heat from the jalapeno. Though it was competing with some strong flavours, the subtle taste of the scallop was not lost though, it really shone through and remained prominent.

No sooner had our plates been cleared, our team of waiters then whisked back into the room with our next course, the oyster. The lightly smoked Brittany (French) oyster, resting in a bed of lightly mashed and creamy potato, curry puffed toast and a pearl made through a technique known as spherification was a delight on the palate. I've rarely seen oysters the size presented by Vasco and the light smoking in no way diminished the sweet flavour, nor the freshness that comes from beautifully prepared oysters.

The frenetic pace continued with what turned out to be the dish of the night, and quite possibly, a new contender for favorite ever dish! Food simply does not get any better than the roasted foie gras that was bathed in a lemongrass infused duck consomme. The richness from the foie gras was so intense and so beautiful in the mouth, that it almost brought tears to my eyes. Extra flavours and textures of radish and horseradish didn't distract from that silky smooth foie gras and sadly, before I knew it, the dish was gone. But not the memory, which will live on in this blog...

The most amazingly flavoured dish was followed by the most beautifully presented. Looking and tasting of the sea, the red Palamos prawn with sea urchin was displayed on a blue glass plate that reminded the diner of an ocean. Sitting atop a crustacean mayonnaise that contained 'sand' and several other flowers and garnishes, the prawn was lightly cooked and stunningly simple. The saltiness of the sea urchin added some extra punch and the crustacean mayonnaise brought the whole lot together. It would have been hard for any dish to follow the roasted foie gras, but this one did admirably well.

Seafood continued with the first of the major dishes, which was again immaculately presented. The expertly cooked Sea Bass fillet was delicious, but when combined with the percebes marinere sauce, it became clear that the chef was showing off. Texture came from the rice crackers with liquorice essence, diced mushrooms and peas which also helped balance out the richness of the sauce.

It was time for some meat, which on the night came from a char grilled French pigeon accompanied by a pork and mushroom cannelloni. The incredibly tender pigeon was beautifully cooked and retained the full gamey flavour that comes only from the best of produce cooked to perfection. There was a cream that had the essence of vanilla, which worked surprisingly well with the pigeon and the (very sticky) cannelloni. Bringing the main together was an intensely rich jus, which to be honest was used a little sparingly (yup, I would have loved a little more).

With some tasting menus, there is a risk of eating too much! But the Vasco menu, while pushed out at a frenetic pace, was comprised of plates the perfect size for the pace and allowed us to kick on with dessert without a break. Yep, greedy!

The first dessert was a cereal soup with white hazelnut sponge, yoghurt ice cream, beetroot sauce and a little curd. Presented in a long skinny bowl that looked like a leaf, the dessert had an incredible flavour of a breakfast cereal. The combination of textures and flavours had the potential to confuse the palate (breakfast for dessert?), but interestingly, it was the beetroot sauce that made the difference!

Our last dessert was designed for 'adults'... Textured chocolate with coffee ice cream and whiskey granita immaculately presented on the plate were all flavours that worked well with refined palates. I've never been a fan of whiskey, but the punchy taste (without the alcohol burn) was perfect for the chocolate and coffee. It was a real 'wow' moment to finish what had been an incredible culinary journey.

Of course, we weren't finished, there were some petit four to finish the meal, a beautiful lemon curd that looked like little mandarins on a plate came out first. Then, along with the bill, came an interesting glass receptacle that had lots of little holes with treats that included a rainbow macaroon...

We were astounded by our Vasco meal, it was easily the best we'd had in Hong Kong and probably one of the best tasting menus we've ever eaten. There were no weak moments throughout the meal and there were some memorable highlights (yep, the roasted foie gras). Only open a short while, Vasco doesn't (yet) have any Michelin Stars, but with an incredible team of chefs in the kitchen, pumping out world beating food, it surely must only be a matter of time.

Of course, a meal as an event is about more than just food (and what food!), it's about the ambiance and the service as well. Our service on the night was first rate, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff were on hand whenever we needed them and each of our meals were explained perfectly.

Vasco is a restaurant that you would be proud to know is in your city, and best of all, it's just a fifteen minute walk from our apartment. In fact, it's so good, we want to go back with friends.. The experience and the food are so good, we just want everyone else to experience it too!

來到馬年最後一篇食記,也是值得紀念的一頓飯,因為老公難得地選擇了兩口子浪漫拍拖渡過一個下午!我們到訪了中環 PMQ 的 Vasco 品嚐精緻又美味的西班牙盛宴,吃得十分滿意~ 這天其實想過帶小兄妹去迪士尼玩,又或一家四口進行其他活動,但最後選擇拍拖食飯,最大原因是工人姐姐接下來會連放四天!到時再慢慢與小魔怪作戰,這天先享受二人時光吧~馬年過去前,本來心中首選餐廳是文華二星 Pierre,無奈那邊已滿座,幸運可以訂到 Vasco。精緻的 Fine dining 法國餐廳吃得多,Spanish Fine Dining 才首次吃,原來一樣驚喜連連! 我們當然選擇最早時間抵達,可以好好拍照嘛;餐廳的環境華麗不凡,同時設計充滿當代藝術感,相信到訪過西班牙的朋友感受會很深。可惜鏡頭不夠 wide,未能充分捕捉那美態。 午餐 $329/兩道菜,$369/三道菜,我們當然都揀後者;還連上 Amouse Bouche、Petit Fours,十分豐富抵食。又,訂位時隨便說是紀念慶祝,結果獲得西班牙氣泡酒 Cava 兩杯作為開胃酒,酒鬼老公開心極了~ 我就更為接下來超豐富的 Amuse Bouche 興奮

然後又有認真不得了的五款橄欖油 presentation,侍者會認真細心介紹,然後由食客作出選擇;當中有些清新有些濃郁,不過最後我揀油的標準是:最靚的一款!也就是最右邊的白色款裝,據說也是最 premium,最受食客歡迎的一款。

不過相比五款橄欖油,更吸引我的是五色牛油啊!五色牛油分別是:原味、菇菌味、蕃茄味、菠菜味,及紅菜頭味,各有特色,一定要選最喜歡是微鹹的原味,及清新蕃茄味。

另一款是 Veal Loin "a la plancha" with Roasted Artichokes, Olive Oil mash potatoes and Mustard Sauce,a la plancha 是西班牙文中 grilled on a metal plate 的意思,也即是鐵板香煎牛仔肉。牛仔肉肉質特別幼嫩、味鮮且不肥膩,煎呈迷人的粉紅色,輕加鹽花,再綴以芝士,就是無上的美味。也喜歡同上的薯蓉,香口又細滑,還有烤香的阿支竹,很滿意!

或許生活太趕忙,有許多地方就算是近在咫尺,沒目的也就沒閒情逸緻走去瞧瞧。一直聽朋友談及PMQ這地標,自己也每天都在中上環出沒,可是卻沒有踏足過PMQ,甚至連其位置都不大清楚。幸好參與朋友們來Vasco的飯局,除了可一睹那蠟筆似的五色牛油,更終於找可藉口來PMQ。走進PMQ,繞過Aberdeen Street Social,走上樓梯向前走,便見有指引到直上Isono與Vasco的大型電梯。電梯最高為6樓的Isono,要到其姊妹店Vasco便要走上一層樓梯。居高臨下看著下方Isono的客人,當然Vasco的定價也比Isono高多了。除了麵包與五款口味橄欖油和五色自家製牛油,還有好幾道Amuse Bouche。第一碟先吃加入了橙酒啫喱裝魚子醬的橄欖,味道清新不覺有橄欖鹹味。然後吃風乾牛肉捲著的grissini脆條,風乾牛肉鹹香鹹香的。之後是咖哩開心果,香料味重且味甜,是四款中最討人喜歡的。最後是方形的鵝肝醬脆餅,肝醬味道恰好不過重,不錯。然後這個是smoked sardine with coconut foam,沙丁魚煙燻味輕輕的,跟椰子味十分匹配。幾道Amuse Bouche中大家最喜歡的

另一道甜點是Textured chocolate with coffee and whisky ice shard,聽大廚說是新上場的甜點。朱古力薄片與餅乾夾著了朱古力慕絲,可可味十分濃郁。另搭咖啡蛋白餅、黑松露雪糕和威士忌冰碎,黑松露雪糕味意外不霸道,與咖啡蛋白餅同樣跟朱古力十分合拍,很出色的一道甜點。

架上有三款Petit fours,馬卡龍水準不俗,像啫喱糖一般的一款酸酸的也合我口味。但我最喜歡是以紅色紙包裝的hazelnut polvoron,入口粉若我們新年吃的花生酥,榛子味香濃。侍應介紹說是西班牙的糖果之一,早前與美祿遊訪曾為西班牙殖民地的宿霧也嚐過。

美食跟時裝一樣,都是講究配搭。一連吃了頭盤、八道大師配搭和精美的結尾小食,豈能覺得不滿足?偶爾一次犒賞自己,絕對物有所值。期待下次再來PMQ,又能嚐到配搭甚佳的美食。

自從上次來過Vasco享用過午餐後(舊文),一直對這裡念念不忘,大概我真的太愛西班牙美食了;這裡走fine dining路線,味道上已經不是很西班牙的,當中總帶著其他國家美食的影子,但當然,仍然有西班牙的美食,亦有西班牙的食材,所以帶偏見下,我依然是很喜歡這裡的。在西班牙時,吃的是Tasting Menu,上次來吃lunch,也是吃set lunch,但這次沒有點chef Tasting Menu,人老了,吃不到太多,所以還是a la carte好了。晚餐供應的小食與午餐的都是一樣的,先吃橄欖,然後便是風乾牛肉包著意大利麵包條;而那方形的則是夾著鵝肝的,鵝肝味道濃郁不膩;用包裝袋裝著的則是咖哩開心果;這次吃,與上次吃的味道都是一樣的,外出用餐,最怕就是質素不一吧。吃過這裡的sourdough後,一直都念念不忘,我真的超喜歡吃這裡的麵包呢!!!外層很脆,內裡又很軟,嗅時會覺得酸酸的,但吃時又不會很酸,上來還是熱辣辣的出煙的,超愛超愛!!有美味的麵包,當然也要有美味的麵包牛油吧! 五款味道分別為紅菜頭、菠菜、蕃茄、菇菌和原味;五款味道之中,我最喜歡的是菇菌,味道最濃郁,與sourdough

在西班牙時,吃的是Tasting Menu,上次來吃lunch,也是吃set lunch,但這次沒有點chef Tasting Menu,人老了,吃不到太多,所以還是a la carte好了。

晚餐供應的小食與午餐的都是一樣的,先吃橄欖,然後便是風乾牛肉包著意大利麵包條;而那方形的則是夾著鵝肝的,鵝肝味道濃郁不膩;用包裝袋裝著的則是咖哩開心果;這次吃,與上次吃的味道都是一樣的,外出用餐,最怕就是質素不一吧。

吃過這裡的sourdough後,一直都念念不忘,我真的超喜歡吃這裡的麵包呢!!!

外層很脆,內裡又很軟,嗅時會覺得酸酸的,但吃時又不會很酸,上來還是熱辣辣的出煙的,超愛超愛!!

有美味的麵包,當然也要有美味的麵包牛油吧! 五款味道分別為紅菜頭、菠菜、蕃茄、菇菌和原味;五款味道之中,我最喜歡的是菇菌,味道最濃郁,與sourdough真的很相配的。

不想用牛油,當然也可以用橄欖油,比上次來多了兩款,這次再來,口味已經變了,最喜歡第四枝,總覺得帶著輕輕的辣香。 (我也覺得自己有點貪心,要了5款橄欖油,但真的想試試不同之處吧。)

Roasted Foie-gras, nori and duck consommé infused with citronelle, horseradish and hazelnut salt $290*

先來的頭盤為鵝肝,鵝肝不是那種外層香脆的香煎鵝肝,反而是外層與內裡的質感差不多,入口便覺得軟綿綿,鵝肝味不算是很濃郁,剛剛好不會太膩;而duck consommé ,清而鮮,鮮而不味精,相信用了不少心機;旁邊還有artichoke,artichoke做得很美味呢,入口很軟,沒有怪味道呢。

Red Palamos prawn and sea urchin on a seabed with crustacean mayonnaise $430*

紅蝦,大概是在西班牙餐廳的指定動作吧;看著這道菜,如此的美麗,怎能不點? 這道菜的presentation是這樣的,碟為藍色,喻意著這是海洋,旁邊的則是"沙粒",沙粒則是用海鮮和麵包糠做出來的,鮮得令人不得不連最後一粒碎也吃清;而海膽亦很鮮,入口即化的感覺很爽呢;而主角紅蝦,當然也很美味,質感很彈牙,味道亦很鮮,超愛超愛!! (Must-Try)

最後便來到Petit Four,我很喜歡這個macaron呀!!!!味道不太甜,外層輕脆,內裡煙韌,不知道這個macaron是買回來的還是自家製的呢?

無論從裝潢到餐具到食物,這裡都賣緊一種藝術,每樣都有其意思,真的十分欣賞;說實話,吃了這麼的食物,有時從第二個角度欣賞食物也不錯喔。

雖然這裡今年沒有奪米芝蓮星,但不代這裡不是我心中的星星餐廳;飲食界都有黑暗的事,沒星星,不代表不好的,所以不用太相信星星。

*以上的食物全都是半份來的。

美味指數: 4.2/5

餐廳: Vasco

地址: 中環鴨巴甸街35號元創方 Hollywood 7樓H701-H708鋪

Selection of butter with bread
這個麵包是他們做的, 有獨門的配方, 一般吃sourdough bread都很硬, 但這個不會
最不能錯過的是他們的五種牛油, 有原味, 番茄, 菇菌, 菠菜跟紅菜頭
其中我覺得番茄口味跟菇口味的香氣最突出, 配以麵包一起吃, 顏色跟味道也很豐富

Mussels escabeche with marmitako sauce
一份很小的amuse bouche, 但味道卻非常鮮美, 青口很小隻, 但卻鮮嫩
加上吞拿魚跟馬鈴薯做的醬汁, 所以小小一口, 所有精華都在內了

cepages blancs 1992像是一個男生, 味道算清淡的, 氣泡也非常綿密, 聞起來很像在聞蜜糖一樣呢
Red Palamos prawn and sea urchin on a seabed with crustacean mayonnaise
美的像一幅畫一樣, 用上紅蝦作主要材料, 加上海膽, 還有甲殼類海鮮所製的沙拉醬
味道很有層次, 先吃紅蝦, 就會吃到紅蝦本身的味道, 之後加上吃海膽碎, 又多了一層海膽鮮香
最後連沙拉醬一起吃, 多了不少海鮮的甜鮮, 好看又好吃, 讓我到現在還在回味呢

blanc de noirs 1990則像一個男生, 聞起來跟之前的那瓶cepages blancs很像
但喝起來味道較強較濃, 配以豬肉比較重口味的肉類就很搭了
Oven baked suckling pig with bitter lemon cream, pineapple chutney and mustard sauce
很好吃的烤乳豬, 皮層沒有想像中的脆, 但仍好吃, 因為裡面的肉嫩滑, 而且鹹度也剛好
加上鳳梨跟芥末醬同吃, 味道有甜也有微辛, 就變更好吃

symphonie d'Europe 1992, 也是較濃的香檳, 因為跟上一瓶一樣, 都用100% pinot noir釀的
roast french pigeon, pork and dry tomato stewed, apple cream and liver toast
也是比較濃郁的一道肉主菜, 所以用這款香檳很適合. 乳鴿的肉也是鮮嫩
味道也非常好, 因有乾番茄的香, 蘋果的甜跟肝醬的豐腴感來配襯乳鴿, 好吃得不得了

另一款我很愛的香檳, Doux 1995, 是當晚喝起來最甜的一款. 我就愛喝入口較有果甜的酒
這款香檳因為較甜, 所以可以搭配甜點
Marinated pineapple with caramel ice cream and crispy pink pepper
我們的甜點不是蛋糕, 不是巧克力, 而是一塊很好吃的鳳梨
鳳梨用了糖漿醃漬過, 吃起來特別的香甜, 加上焦糖雪糕, 整個搭起來就是美味
還有一點點的粉紅椒鹽來提升鳳梨的甜味, 單單一塊鳳梨就能做得這麼棒

Petit fours, 精美的四小甜點, 最喜歡是Hazelnut polvoron, 是西班牙的一個糖果
質感粉粉的, 臻子味道很突出, 配茶或配咖啡喝很棒
另外的passion fruit white chocolate mousse酸酸甜甜, 也是美味的一款
非常開心滿足的一晚, 喝了很多好香檳, 吃了很多道精彩的菜式
以後要再來, 想試他們的午餐呢!
