母親節將至,又是時間尋找美食慶祝一番,今趟選址港麗酒店的意寧谷大快朵頤


餐廳位於酒店八樓,地方雖不算很大,但裝潢座位舒適,切合五星級酒店的水準


晚市除了有各式散點意菜及美酒外,亦有一個set-dinner供選擇,四道菜式盛惠$828+10%,減除折扣後七百餘元一位,定價合理。

一如其他西餐廳一樣,麵包籃是免費提供的美食。麵包款式有五六款,賣相小巧不俗,看得出是新鮮自家焗製。淺嚐了其中三款,包括有牛角包、脆脆麵包條及墨汁包。牛角包口感鬆化,內裡層次清晰可分,味道亦甚為香口,實為出色之作
脆脆麵包條首重質感香脆,這兒的麵包條亦交足了功課。墨汁包,嚐試的主因顯然是因為較少見,論質感和一般麵包不無兩樣,論味道墨汁味不突出,明顯以獨特外觀及用料作招來。至於調味醬料,除一般的黑醋橄欖油外,同時提供松露牛油。細滑的牛油夾上淡淡的松露香氣,配上味道不濃的麵包吃頗為合適,亦見餐廳的用心


吃過各式麵包,首先來的是餐前小吃「Salad Toast with Cheese」,以青瓜蕃茄等蔬菜粒伴以薄薄的芝士汁,放在烘得香脆的小多士上,製作小巧而不失清新感覺,適合作為開胃菜式。

接着來的是頭盤「Scallops and Sicilian Prawns with Caviar Sauce」,帶子用料新鮮,經煎煮後味道既香又味美。西西里蝦的製作更為出色,除肉質結實爽口外,蝦味非常濃郁,尤以蝦頭沾上少許蝦膏的地方更為吸引
,可惜只有一隻,實感不足
。魚子醬汁方面,個人覺得不太特別,魚子味道略為薄弱,欠缺鹹香,質感亦有欠彈性,此處可作改善。另外,店員點出碟旁有兩小棵自家製的檸檬啫厘,味道清清的,頗為特別,可以一試。

第二道菜式可選餐湯或鵝肝小吃。餐湯有海鮮、蘑菇及意大利菜湯供選擇,最後選了後者(Minestrone)品嚐。平日喝的意大利菜湯,大多包含菜蔬、雜豆、意粉等等,這兒的菜湯則主要以「菜」為主,其他食材為次,味道微酸,平實清淡。至於鵝肝小吃(Pan-seared Foie Gras with Black Summer Truffle),有別其他餐廳的鵝肝香煎後原塊奉上,這先的鵝肝經煎煮後切粒,伴上數片黑松露置於小酒杯中,賣相較為特別吸引。不過,亦因鵝肝經切粒後,外脆內軟的口感有所流失,原應吸引的油香味道亦不夠結實。雖有數片黑松露以添香氣,還是未能完全補償其中所失之處。

主菜方面,一氣試了鱸魚扒、茄醬龍蝦天使麵及西冷扒牛面頰。鱸魚扒(Grilled Seabass Steak with Sea Urchin Sauce)用料佳,肉質結實肥厚,屬合水準之作。茄醬龍蝦天使麵(Angel Hair Pasta with Lobster, Tomatoes and Basil)為此店的signature dish之一,水準有保證。先談蕃茄醬汁,份量恰巧能完全沾上天使麵上,不多不少,稀稠得當,不會給人醬汁過於水溜溜的感覺。亦因如此,醬汁的濃郁感亦有所提升。當然,所選用的蕃茄用料上佳亦是醬汁好吃的原因。天使麵方面,烹調時間準確,麵條口感仍在。龍蝦方面,和之前的西西里蝦相映成趣,肉質結實甜味,值得推介
!至於西冷扒牛面頰(Roaster US Sirloin and Slow-braised Beef Cheek),六成熟的西冷扒面泛粉紅,火喉同樣控制準確,肉汁非常豐富,口感鬆軟。雖然肉香仍不及dry-aged的牛扒,但仍屬水準之作
。相較之下,雖牛面頰的肉汁不及西冷牛扒,但肉質非常非常軟腍,肉香亦勝一籌。除部位不同外,慢火炆煮的烹調手法亦要記一功


飽吃多款主菜後,稍作休息,又到甜品時間。先來的是pre-dessert「Pineapple "Yogurt"」,面上的新鮮菠蘿粒味道清甜,下方的"Yogurt"白滑可口,配上獨特的匙羹裝飾,視覺味覺雙重享受
。另一signature dish的「Nicholini's Souffle」,份量不少,外表豐滿美味。因疏乎厘本質較甜,配上帶酸的紅莓或熱情果醬最為合適。質感方面,疏乎厘的內層入口亦見溶化,雖不及半島酒店的疏乎厘出色,品質仍令人滿意
。多心的朋友可選甜品拼盤(Chef's Special Dessert Sampler),一碟附有四款甜品,包括有綿花糖、tiramisu、雪糕批及朱古力心太軟。綿花糖不太甜,味道似酒家吃到的兔仔綿花糖,只是質感腍一點。Tiramisu酒香處處,口味合預期。一件雪糕批帶有多款滑溜雪糕口味,多添數重享受。朱古力心太軟味道濃郁,看着內層的朱古力醬緩緩溢出,那份引誘甚能抵擋
?!

餐後配上香濃咖啡一杯及小吃拼盤(Petits Four)一碟[內含濃郁朱古力及杏仁餅仔等等],為整頓晚餐劃上完美的句號


最後一談港麗酒店的服務,的確值得一讚。訂枱兩天前曾要求電郵餐牌一看,不消幾分鐘已寄上,值得一讚
。用餐時間店員態度要好,拉櫈換碟加水等服務週到,再讚
甜品時間其中一份疏乎厘來錯甜品拼盤,店方除了即時表示歉意及立即準備另一份疏乎厘外,更大方送上來錯的甜品拼盤,好的服務由此可見
