打字慢加懶令到我一間餐廳吃了幾次才會寫食評。對很多跨區網友來說新鮮的餐廳， Rome Italian對我來說已是過去式。 :( :(:(論食物水平，明顯地Rome Italian在同區餐廳算是一枝獨秀，廚師明顯是老手，菜色夠authentic Italian，夠香，有質感，味道好。但如一間餐廳都是有自己的靈魂和心，我會說Rome Italian的心是冰冰涼涼的。:( :(:(:( 回想起在一個低于十度的冬雨天，每個人都希望晚餐有杯暖水的時候，侍應給我的是一杯冰冷的水，還記得水上還有幾塊浮冰。:(餐前面包是一條由侍應徒手切出的Bagette。切包前侍應沒有洗過手。包好冷，好硬。:(牛肉球意粉內的牛肉球還是會出血的。:(午餐只有小貓三四只時，上碟的熱菜居然是涼的。:(餐飲是稀的，無論我叫華田，horlick或檸茶，在我臺上都是一杯華田/horlick/檸茶水，稀得可憐:(。:(想去個廁所，發現沒紙，侍應打開柜，示意廁紙位置，到頭還要我親自拿成大卷紙到女廁:(:(:(。有這樣好的手藝，但每次為客人烹調都草率敷衍了事。何苦貼錢令自己受罪？:(第一次光顧后我對此餐廳有期望。但對客人沒心的餐廳，再好的菜色也是徒然。…Read More

話說我寫此餐廳第一個食評以相隔幾個月。期間幫襯過不下幾次。身為附近街坊，很開心見到一間BB餐廳由乜都差DD，到而家由食物質素到格局feel都有保證。餐湯能保持又滑又香不在話下，連最最初我有意見的扒類，每次越食越好味，到今日我吃到火候適中，咬感一流，老板肯定花了不少心機去進步。座位闊落了，侍應換了一批醒醒目目的，不會再游游魂魂。更開始從細微處著眼體貼食客:餐包香，餐湯來到時，湯羹是暖的。醬汁都是用分開的碗盛載，不會一pat 一pat地倒到碟上。餐飲夠足料，不會像某些餐廳比華田水。Chow chow café特別適合周末駕車帶狗狗到元朗玩的朋友，老板本身是愛狗之人- 餐廳100% dog friendly。唯一我覺得可以做的更好的是意粉類&lasagna 食物。還是偏太熟太num，醬汁仍然太稀略嫌少了香味。但以短短幾個月來說，老板的心機還是可加!…Read More

想吃味精就去美都！夜晚叫左一魚一菜一雞加例湯，除了平平無奇的蒸魚外，沒有一味不是狂撒味精！連羅宋湯都飲得出有化學調味料，欺人太甚！太過分！難怪隔離何X記同埋新個間野永遠都排長龍，美都從未見人龍！！！放心，我以后都不會再入去貼錢買難受！！！！！…Read More

近來在元朗雞地開了兩間西餐Cafe，趁呢排 home office lunchtime時段幫襯左一次set lunch.對於一間新餐廳來講，總括來說算是不過不失。座位比較有點迫，entree是南瓜湯同(of course)餐飽，湯其實可以再濃D，但幾有南瓜香，面包質感也不錯，幾鬆口彈牙。Main course就比較一般，我要的Sirlon Steak出奇地 overcook - 咬下口感沒左:(。從個牛排來看，某程度上都可見到店主第一次開餐廳。老實講，煮開西餐的朋友都會知道Steak系極難overcooked的。朋友點了龍利柳，有點濕但acceptable，個薯菜就處理的幾好，幾香幾好咬。店主態度夠flexible，但個侍應很明顯是好細個很新手，唔系gum識睇客人面色來招呼或加水，要叫先來。如果有機會的話，元朗的朋友得閑可一經過一下Chow Chow，夜晚的燈飾好靚。Overall，如果想relax D悠閑食lunch或dinner的話，其實也可以給呢間新餐廳一個機會。比起同區的其他西餐廳(eg: new York cafe等)還差一截，但新餐廳 - 總可以給多D機會.P.S: 如果出面有位可以帶狗狗更好!…Read More

For 8 years of my life, Bookworm cafe had been one of my ultimate gourmet treat. For long I've been looking forward to a quiet weekend where I can, from a busy corporate life, take a gentle retreat in Bookworm.Yesterday, I ended up in great disappointment.:(I've always knew the owner and the crew - Instinctively I knew I was prepared for a great surprise when yesterday, I stepped in, and knew no one there. The food has lost its luster - apart from the cashew & mushroom soup which was still rich and creamy. Everything else has lost its luster - for the Vegetable warm salad, it was roughly torn apart by a brutal knife, I don't feel like eating home-made organic salad carefully prepared with heart, but instead my buccal cavity was filled with raw vegetable mixed together by pure chance...The bean burger was just as bad if not worse. The fries were soft and flimsy, the burger's recipe lost its "meatiness" and all I taste was mixture of beans.:(Ironically, Life cafe has recently cutting its portion, changing menus yet for taste, it has now been doing a much better job. Next time when I am in Lamma, I'd make sure I eat seafood instead.:(…Read More

今晚趕住睇電視，去秋月食Quick-kill晚餐。希望快快同屋企人食餐好味少少的就搭車返歸。秋月有三種冷麵揀，聽waiter講中華冷拉麵是自家DIY的冷麵，諗住冇衰啦。等左十幾分鐘(standard秋月waiting time)，來到后，火都滾!!!!叉燒是碎濕濕不倫不類既肥瘦肉，泡菜顯然系雪柜超耐，得個咸字。最最最令人嬲上頸的，係佢地夠膽用公仔麵....無錯，平時超級市場買到一包包的公仔麵，做冷麵底!做得餐廳，將心比心，諗下一個客人再多錢都好，咁食法不只係不好味，比錢(thinking about it, $58 for a bowl of doll noodle)的時侯會有幾順氣呢.雖然秋月出名的既刺身，但以service speed，價錢同埋quality，再交埋Dgum既行貨，在元朗日食界的地位真係,一個字，危!…Read More

This is not collusion nor conspiracy but I echo last commentator's remark.Despite the fact the the Ramen is authentic, I've yet to endure such pain in terms of service standard. Chief waitress is a chubby, big boned women with fluent english command. She was arrogant, and took customer for granted. He arrogant and dictatorship-style communication turned us off even before we eat. Her son's even worse - he is a 10 year-old-ish guy. When he took order, he rudely addressed the customer. I demanded apology for his bad service. But no only did her refused, he turned his face away from me. His mother did nothing to intervene.By the attitude alone, I can foresee Jazz Ramen's downfall in no time. Fun Fact: Jazz Ramen has a sign, (more than 1, in fact) that wrote: "No second order allowed" in both Chinese and English. (Well, how about if customer finishes their first order, pays their bill and come back 5 minutes later for a second order? )…Read More

For the food savvies amongst you readers, I know the title itself is a joke: "British Cuisine? Don't they do fish and chips only?"The difference between western European cuisine can be extremely subtle, ranging from the use of herbs and sauces, to the selection of meats and grill style.Ignore the previous comments, in fact, ignore all comments altogether including mine, I would recommend whoever visit Deluxe to have no expectation in the first place: instead of aiming for another Amigo, or an extremely well-run Michelin-worthy eatery. Aim to find the subtle lost art within Deluxe that are left behind from a decade old British cuisine style.Personally, I've had all my meals in Deluxe before (breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner, even supper) due to my locational proximity. Deluxe DIY their mint source for lamb legging, cooked their grilled pork to the exact satisfaction. Even their Borscht has all 4 ingredients required to make it a classy standard (meat tomato, puree, ketchup and standard tomato)I have yet to find a restaurant that cook British cuisine as standard as Deluxe. …Read More

能有更好的法國私房菜嘛?無論在任何方面﹐Chez Lung也是會令人痴狂一吃難忘的﹐二十五元一位連飲品﹐一個很很很很很很好味的茄汁龍利柳飯﹐實在太太太太太好味﹐我忍不住一個人吃了兩份﹐不是因為我不夠飽﹐而是。。。真的實在太好味了!!!粉嶺圍到處都種了花﹐想想坐在夜香花下﹐吃一頓豐盛的法國晚餐﹐會是何等的回味。自然的瓢香﹐加上那種自然的味道﹐真是處處留香﹐令人留戀。半年前的回味﹐蕩漾到現在還久久不散- 這﹐就是一頓完美的法國私房菜。…Read More

在一次偶而的機緣下結識了這間開張僅三個月有機素食Cafe﹐本身吃素的我就當然不會錯過。很多朋友常問我﹐其實有機菜和非有機菜有甚麼分別呢?這樣說吧﹐有機菜吃下去的口感比較3D﹐亦都容易飽肚D - 比較係一種溫飽的感覺rather than 係飽到滯飽到胃晤舒服。亦都可能係有機菜實質上營養多的﹐所以好多時候我吃完人都會開心點。就算要我比多少少錢﹐我都比較願意去有機餐廳。多油多味精是一般素食店的大忌﹐所以我光顧的都是西式/新派素菜。Harmony出品的更是以有機菜煮成的。菜式比較平實是Harmony的特色。正是因為調味料都是能用就少用﹐所以才可以吃得出有機菜本身的鮮味。份量的話其實比其他同類餐廳較為少量…Read More

後來我的小辣米線上到檯了。發覺不但賣相討好﹐材料和質量也在街坊價餐廳內面新鮮。切片雞脾菇更加是有口感兼爽滑。豆醬不鹹不甜﹐雪泡類飲品杯杯都很能入口。環顧餐廳環境﹐店身不出三百幾平方尺﹐三分二都給了廚房。其他的地方也做了即食小食攤。在一個人流超強的下午﹐一小時內也只得小貓三四隻吃小食。若是他不加強外賣或吃小食的人流不增多的話﹐在這地祖超貴的商場﹐即使對面就是馬會﹐我看他很也難圍到本。所以我也跟餐廳的收銀反映返我對餐牌切設計的意見。可能係我0靚妹樣的關係﹐講了一大輪她卻‘喔’了一聲就走左去。我簡直哭笑不得﹐又氣又好笑。但最後都算了﹐心想﹐算啦﹐開了一個月而已﹐都叫做生手。這餐廳野食好的話﹐我都會比多幾次機會來吃的。後來我男伴釋穿了我拍照做食評。登時嚇得店內的姐姐仔侍應不知所措。但我對這間餐廳的印象已經心裡有數。我們最後兩個人叫了四杯欽品﹐坐了一小時。人生出來就愛美食﹐所以若賞光看此文的在坐各位有做餐廳的﹐一定要記住童叟莫欺。不要等到人地拿起部相機寫埋食評之時﹐才來provide good service﹐這就為時已晚。…Read More

一開始經過這間餐廳﹐發覺牆上menu擺位極高。一般成年途人除非彎低身﹐根本不能看到有甚麼能吃。這種食家unfriendly的設計﹐要不是星期天蒙地卡羅沒有做午飯套餐的話﹐第一眼就根本不會入去吃。入到去﹐叫了個素菇米線小辣。素菇米線出現了兩個entries。一個十九蚊﹐一個二十三蚊。店員圈起了19蚊後隨即改了去23蚊那一行。這點就讓我很不滿。心想若食物水準若不打救的話﹐我就以後都不會再來了。上面油淋淋menu有圖為證﹐各位覺得一個普通食客會晤會看到兩個entries的基本分別?…Read More

在香港區的同治堂當中﹐粉嶺這間的拉麵絕對吃得過。三十蚊留下就有一個包飲品兼果盤的餐。雜菜麵用料十足﹐有冬菇﹐海草﹐羅蔔﹐油墨菜菜等等。足夠上檯時成碗只見菜不見麵。絕對新鮮絕對飽。可能鋪面細人手多的關係﹐阿姐都能做到隨傳隨到。在粉嶺吃lunch或吃個快餐dinner的話﹐這裡比隔離任何鋪頭都要好。唯一要注意的事﹐在大時大節﹐正職的會放假﹐廚房的阿姐會換人﹐食物的質數和份量都會因應而有變。…Read More

話說蒙地卡羅所在鋪位有一個咒語﹐在他之前所有做餐廳的都係不出幾個月就會關閉的。所以當男友看見蒙地卡羅可以營業整年也屹立不倒﹐都心生好奇打算一試。午晚飯的價錢都比同區稍高。食物水準﹐服務和飲品都非常不俗。我叫了個六十元的素扒飯﹐雖則素扒也離不開罐頭貨式﹐出來的一樣是好好睇睇。無論西餐飯配薯菜﹐飯或意粉﹐都是絕對能入口吃飽的水準。服務也算很殷勤﹐侍應隨傳隨到兼有求必應。以北區的餐廳來說﹐這間已經係絕對可以接受的了。唯一美中不足的是餐廳內長年開著大冷氣。入去邀著多幾件衫。…Read More

除了一次在晚市吃的饅魚炒飯已外﹐在這裡吃過無數次﹐每次都是可怕收場。最近期的一次是試了友人一隻羊肉餃﹐餃皮厚兼肉身超硬﹐一字記之曰不能入口。飲品的話也是經典之作- 在這裡叫熱飲和凍飲也是死路一條。要麼雪多到你揀晒出來後就無乜野飲剩﹐叫熱的真係滾到久久都晤會暖。非常晤貼心的Servcie。男朋友喜歡吃這裡的炒飯和炸醬麵。但他吃飯好醜從來不挑。問他為甚麼喜歡來這裡吃飯﹐他的答案是﹐粉嶺區無度好食﹐好好醜醜食得小廚都叫平。更可怕的是這裡環境吵到不得了。在這裡心平氣和吃一餐?想都不要想。老闆坐收銀有一個擴音器擴音給全餐廳聽的。我曾經試過去接納這間餐廳(畢竟for some reason男友喜歡吃)﹐但係都係無功而返。。。…Read More
