My friend kept it secret of where to go for dinner tonight, and surprisingly he took me here. The refurbishment of the restaurant looked really nice, with the Japanese wood theme all over the place. The atmosphere and lighting made me feel like I was in nature, peaceful and quiet. The sashimi and sushi collection were amazing, especially the salmon and foie gras nigiri both raw and cooked sushi all melted the moment I put it into my mouth. The foie gras sushi was seared perfectly; the seaweed wrap was still crispy and not soggy at all. The Avocado and cream cheese roll was quite unique, I loved the fact that they scraped actual parmesan cheese as garnish because it gave the extra kick of tangy flavor to the dish. We also ordered two apple martini/ sake drink, they were a bit strong with the alcoholic but was still acceptable for us.We then ordered two vegetable dishes, one hot and one cold. For the cold dish we ordered an avocado egg salad, the ingredients were freshly chosen and the avocadoes were well done as you could see in the picture, so colorful in green and yellow. The hot dish was fried egg with bitter melon, the good thing about this dish was that it wasn’t bitter at all and that it was quite mushy so we didn’t have to chew too much.Since my friend is a vegetarian, he ordered a vegetarian katsudon. It was so tasty we couldn’t even figure out the difference between real katsudon and vegetarian katsudon, even I liked it very much. It is a must try dish.Another main course we ordered was a Japanese clear soup vegetable hotpot, this dish on the other hand tasted less flavorful. I personally would like something with more flavors, such as pork bone soup or fish broth hotpot.For desserts, we ordered a green tea soufflé that came with a creamy custard sauce and a piece of butter cookie. It was my first time eating green tea flavored soufflé and it did not disappoint me, yummmmms~ (preparation time: 20 minutes)Overall rating I’d give this restaurant would be 4/5, if I have the chance I would definitely go for a visit again!! 继续阅读

将了朋友吃brunch，不想吃西餐于是就选了Harakan-S吃日本料理Brunch。之前因为知道这里有提供素食餐单，所以本想来吃晚餐的，但订位是才被通知原来是要预订的，好不方便，于是便没有来吃晚饭了。餐厅要穿过一个小小的花园才会找到，空间也尚算宽趟。周未提供由＄200﹣＄350左右的主菜选择，包括了寿司、刺身及熟食等。另外有一个小小的沙律还有前菜吧，选择不多，包括了沙律菜只有4﹣5款（有像关东煮的汤及酱油汤三文鱼等），而甜品即只有一种：小小的水晶包。我跟朋友都点了＄300多的特上寿司御瞻，里面有一系列的寿司10件，还有4件卷物。另外一个朋友点了鲍鱼海胆饭，忘记拍照，但海胆是布满了饭上的，绝无欺场。寿司很不错，饭上的刺身很生鲜，特别是那件拖罗，真的有入口即溶的感觉，很想再来一件。有点可惜的是甜品只有小小的水晶包，虽然不限拿多少个，但还是觉得只有一种甜点的brunch不太完整。 继续阅读

认识她也是通过开饭网的食友们的食评, 而当天到上址才发觉同一门口亦是另一间意大利连锁餐厅的入口, 应该是同一个集团经营的.餐厅内部装饰主要是日本原木色, 但亦摆放一些摩登摆设, 我们被安排在一幅摆满绿色植物的墙旁边, 近看绿色植物是真的, 座位后面一排玻璃窗有自然光线射入室内, 虽然窗外景色只有一幢幢高楼大厦, 枱与枱之间距离空间感阔落, 可能时间尚早的关系客人并不多, 当时间接近一点之后亲子家庭陆陆续续进场, 不过店方一般安排有小孩的客人在某些角落, 即使小朋友吵闹也许好像远一点避免影响其他食客, 这点是值得嘉许的, 但也有些地方须要改善, 例如: 一接主菜柯打就随即开始做主菜, 不消15分钟主菜送上来, 但客人可能连沙律也未吃完, 我们就是这情况下被端上主菜, 实在几讶异下, 唯有先吃主菜啦, 一般如果店方做这类型自助前菜式的店, 都会等客人先品尝过沙律, 前菜过后才过来问客人是否可以上得主菜, 没有这样茶餐厅式自动波流水作业地上菜, 上菜的待应完全是默不作声地放下主菜, “请问是哪一位的”之类的一句都省掉了, 他们自行决定哪个客人吃哪一道主菜? 到底有否专业训练过架呢? 个人实在好怀疑?? 最有趣是我们吃完主菜经理过来收碟, 收完碟即问我们餐后饮品要啡要茶? 使唔使咁赶客呢? 星期日的客人似赶时间吗? 况且客人只吃了沙律其他前菜都未食就要饮啡埋单? 咁同去花园餐厅有乜分别, 我们都明白当天客人真的不多, 待应可以做的工作不多, 但这店好歹算是高档一点(起码看上去如是) 当然我们拒绝了他, 其间大概40~45分钟内有另外两个男待应来收东西时都问同一个问题: 要啡/ 要茶? 我们都一一拒绝了, 因为我们都未逐一叹完, 这样的店居然提供这样的服务, 实在怀疑管理层是怎样去训练员工应该持怎么办的态度去提供服务这一环???说回食物质素吧, 先讲前菜鱼子蛋卷的蛋有点过甜, 反而鸭胸有鸭肉的骚味, 配合淡口一点的日式酱油, 唔错的一品.薯仔牛肉, 一个味道调得不错的甜酱油口味, 牛肉是一小块一小块, 而不是一般那种牛肉簿片的样, 肉质很淋身因为煮了一些时间, 但当然明白这些都是下栏野, 但这样用又可以节省食材之外亦有别于平常的薯仔牛肉了三文鱼杂菜煲(石狩锅), 第一转时因为要食主菜,到吃完主菜出去时只有杂菜(大蒜茎,/ 黄芽白等) 唯有等第二轮, 但第二轮要到成两点才出来, 所以用来埋尾了.南蛮渍(炸鸡) , 这个会是比较难食的一个, 鸡肉虽是鸡脾肉但本身件鸡就系瘦鸡, 几干几鞋口下, 而炸脆咗嘅鸡皮再被醋汁甘笋丝叠住整番淋, 有几好食都估到啦.绿茶豆腐布丁, 绿茶同豆腐放埋一斉通常只会感觉到绿茶味豆腐味老早被盖过了, 上面再淋上少量黑糖液, 布丁口感算是滑身的.讲番两款主菜, 极上刺身$338 – 每个品种有两件, 每款刺身质素都是新鲜而且质优那种, 色泽光亮鲜明, 但Toro的色看起来那白色分布就感觉到那鱼油丰厚, 每人吃一件已经是顶点了, 感觉像放了旧鱼油入口, 幸好这种鱼嘅油没什么特别味道! 赤贝亦超爽可惜只有两片, 这个刺身差不多全是鱼生, 只有赤贝是贝类, 其他的什么甜虾, 带子一律无用.另一个是澳洲和牛扒$278 – 我们要求四成熟, 做出来个样(摆位) 好定食样, 没有太花巧, 但件扒就呈长形大概普通男生手掌嘅长度, 师傅已经切好了, 一拿开来果然是四成熟, 即使在头尾位也保持到四成熟火喉控制得宜, 肉质淋身没有渣, 除了少部份近尾部有少少筋之外, 个汁味道亦好配合个肉, 如果有日再经过此处, 希望还有机会来试多一餐吧?! 继续阅读

My parents decided to try this place for lunch. They have a great Sunday mini-buffet option where you get to pick a main dish and then help yourself to an unlimited supply of soups, salads, and appetizers. When you have finished your meal, there is also a good selection of fresh fruit and one choice of cake for you to enjoy with your drink that is also included in the set. I called at around 11:10am to make a reservation for three. I was greeted by a man, who was very friendly. I told him I would like to make a reservation. He told me to wait, and about 30 seconds later he noted my reservation down. We arrived promptly at 12:00pm and were seated immediately by the very friendly greeter.Immediately upon entering the restaurant, you know that this is not an ordinary chain japanese dining facility. The decor is certainly unique. The room is filled with various potted plants and the ceiling columns are adorned with elaborate vinage. The tables are simple and are spaced well throughout the restaurant The chairs are very comfortable, however I believe that the pillow that is placed on the sofa part of the table is much too soft to give any decent back support. The sofa itself though is very comfy.For a set menu there is really a lot of variety to choose from. You could pick from simple sashimi and sushi dishes, to rice pots, and noodles all ranging from the price of HK$150 - $370. We placed our orders and proceeded to peruse what the mini-buffet had to offer. The Mini-Buffet:I always enjoy sampling everything that a buffet has to offer. Starting on the top left hand corner, this was a simple egg and potato salad. I like how it looks like a scoop of ice cream, that is very creative. At first, I found the potato to be too rich. However, by the second bite, I found the overall flavour to be very satisfying. It was creamy, yet the acidity of the tomato (which I had on the second bite) helped to balance the dish very well. My dad really enjoyed this dish. On the bottom left hand corner, we have a simple cabbage salad with thousand island and peanut dressing. Nothing special to report, and the only problem I had with it was that there was too much sauce which overwhelmed the salad. On the top right hand corner, we have a simple shredded seaweed, cabbage and bean sprout salad. I really enjoyed this. It was a cold dish and combined both Japanese and Korean flavours. The dressing was sour, but very mild and there was sesame in it. However, what really gave it an extra dosage of goodness was the Korean kimchi flavour. Also, the portion looks very tiny, but the salad is packed together very tightly, so there is actually a lot more than there appears to be. Finally, on the bottom right hand corner is the best appetizer of all; the soup. This soup is full of flavours and ingredients. There are mushrooms, tofu, cabbage, salmon, onions, and all of this simmers in a very light miso base. I also like how they place the soup in a clay pot and keep it simmering at the buffet, this ensures that it is nice and hot for everyone to enjoy. At first I thought the soup would be over seasoned, but it was just right. The mushrooms were very soft and also the salmon was cooked perfectly. My whole family would agree that this was the best part of the meal. The table was not set with any spoons, and we had to ask for soup spoons to enjoy this dish, however, these were quickly brought to us. The Main:For the price I paid, I was very disappointed by the amount I was given. The salmon was very fresh, but I thought it was sliced too thickly. The shrimp and remaining sashimi were average. The wasabi was excellent though, it dissolved seamlessly into the soya sauce.This was piping hot when it was served. Once again, I was amazed by everything that was packed into this little pot. There was the wagyu beef (quite a large portion), the poached egg, onions, mushrooms, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots. It all looked very lovely in this pot. There was also a very large portion of rice, however, the rice was very soggy and I would have scored this dish with five smileys had it been more dry. I really appreciate, how the restaurant did not skimp on the amount of beef, unlike the sashimi. Every mouthful had plenty of beef to go with the rice. The mushrooms were also cooked with a teriyaki sauce, which made them full of flavour. I also give special props to the onions which were caramelised perfectly, and by this I meant that they were very soft and soggy, but when you bit into them, there was still a crunch. This is not easy to do. This was over seasoned. I could not drink the soup at all. I only managed to eat the little pieces of steamed and fried tofu, which were cooked very well.Dessert:The coffee was really good. It had a very strong roasted flavour to it, which is my favourite kind. The cheesecake, although very small, was just right in terms of its richness and creaminess. I always judge a cheesecake by its crust, which is my favourite part and thought that it lacked any real crunch. I appreciated that we had the option to have brown or white sugar with our coffee. One small comment was that the fork that was provided to eat our cheese cake had two prongs, and was the size of a tooth pick, which made it quite difficult to eat the cake in anything more than a dainty little bite. Overall, I would say this place has great value,great service, and a great environment. I would just come back to have that soup again. There are also many other options on the lunch the set that looked good, and I heard that they change the components of the buffet every week so I will definitely go back and try something new. The place was not very packed for prime lunch time. 继续阅读
