招牌菜
八月三十一日‧星期三‧炎热暑假的最后一天,原本想跟姊姊去中环的来佬餐馆吃个午饭。前一天致电订座,原来午市不设订座,那只好当日早点去吧。不过到后发现店内已有二十几三十人在等候,店外都有约十人,好不夸张。我们都肚子饿,不想再等,便转战姊姊提议的Wagyu Kitchen En。姊姊之前曾和同事们来吃午餐,回家后都赞口不绝,但这次的经历…… 只好怪自己无食神罢了。当天真的很热很热,我们从来佬餐馆步行过来都已经整身汗。到达Wagyu后,一位男侍应问我们有没有订座,他表示没订座的只好坐餐厅的室外座位(餐厅有个大露台)。由于那天真的非常热,我们问他真的不可以坐入面吗(还有一两张台)?他回应说可以,但必须在一时前离开。当时经已是十二时半了,他真的认为我们可在一时前离开?没座位都没办法。其实露台有两个大型降温机,所以都不会是太过热的,但由于露台有白色胶布围着,都很焗促。姊姊和我都点了汉堡扒。我点了的是和牛汉堡扒伴蒜蓉白菌汁 Australia Wagyu Beef Hamburg with Garlic Mushroom Sauce($118)(我想是Australian才对呀,是菜单grammar有问题?),而姊姊点的是蕃茄芝士和牛汉堡扒 Wagyu Beef Hamburg with Tomato Cheese Topping($118)。套餐附送汤,沙律,甜品和咖啡/茶。沙律除了碟子外都没有特别,菜汤很足料但我喜欢浓一点杰一点的。沙律和菜汤都很难失水准的,主菜才是中伏位!汉堡扒上碟时我们经已被吓呆。饭平平的摊在碟上,有一碗的份量吗?不是饭桶的姊姊都嫌份量太少。Wagyu用是珍珠米,但饭只是微暖,虽然饭是软糯,却没有我吃米饭追求的饭香。吃了一口汉堡扒,今回我们真的被吓坏了!汁是冷的,汉堡扒都是冷的,冷是指放凉了的室温温度。姊姊的汉堡扒上的芝士明显没有熔掉过的痕迹 。不只是我们的汉堡扒,连邻桌都要求服务员为食物加热。那位男侍应生一句话都没说,一脸不悦拿走我们的汉堡扒,像是觉得我们无理取闹般。若然食物是没问题的话,两台食客又怎会同时浪费宝贵的午饭时间去要求加热食物!汉堡扒加热后终于会冒烟,但是汁仍然是冷的,薯蓉都是冷的,吃不出薯蓉的薯香,应该是只加热了汉堡扒。不幸中的大幸是蕃茄和沙律菜没有被微波炉加热过,不会熟透。加热的时间不短, 原先只是微暖的饭都变得冷。汉堡扒吃得出肉质不错,不是用廉价肉,但当其他东西都是冷时,汉堡扒多好吃都是假。所谓饭要趁热食,食物凉了都失去其独特香气,失去了色香味的其中一环,浪费了好的食材。甜品是很颓的巧克力/柯华田布丁奶冻东东。在这么热的天气吃便当消暑吧……而姊姊就觉得它太甜把口都黏住。咖啡/茶要了作用同样是消暑的很日式cafe味道的冻咖啡。这个不愉快午饭吃到尾声时,热风取代了降温机的冷风,应该是因为女经理在准备餐桌给另一台客人时,不小心揭开了白色胶布留了个入风口...... 我们只是想简简单单吃午餐,过百元的一位的午餐服务不好、食物不好、环境焗促。虽然身在中环,但是中环有很多餐厅价钱都较便宜,服务和食物亦比Wagyu好。这次经验有点用钱买难受的感觉。看到Wagyu在openrice的好评(零哭脸!),相信这次应该只是店子失准。希望店子可以多加注意QC和侍应生的服务态度。不过经过这一役,姊姊和我都不会光顾Wagyu了。

People who wants to go there for dinner please be aware that they have changed their a la carte menu for dinner. They pretty much got rid of 3/4 of food on the old menu. The menu is now pretty small and there's no photos of the food on the menu as well. It's such a pity that they don't serve seafood salad and beef tataki anymore since I think those are two of their signature dishes! Anyway even tho they don't have my fav dishes we still ordered some other food like beef steak, dragon roll and ajillo. Pretty nice but it's really a pity that they changed their menu. I prob won't go there as much as before

Waiting time = 0 minutes only because we didn't mind sitting outdoors. It wasn't very hot...and there were sun umbrellas outside. If you wanna sit indoors you really should make reservations. Could come back again for their famous burgers. Environment:Lazy Probably because they have an outdoor section. Good when sunny. It's a balcony, with a seating capacity of around 18. There is no view. You're surrounded by tall, tapering concrete monsters with glass shields. There is a big electric fan to keep the place ventilated. It kind of works. Smoking permitted outdoors. Food: Spaghetti set lunches @ $88 + 10% = $1001. Wagyu Spaghetti in meat sauce, with salad, soup and drink I had this. The soup and salad were...well, very average. A watery pumpkin+potato+onion soup (don't worry it didn't taste weird coz it wasn't intended to be cream of pumpkin soup) The soup was enjoyable although it wasn't particularly tasty - at least it tasted of pumpkin, and wasn't too filling. There's also a lot of cooked onion, which I like. Salad: An average green salad. The dressing was yummy though - not your standard olive oil dressing, but a sesame dressing, which was store-bought, because I have that bottle at home. A cross between thinned mayonnaise and sesame sauce. Thankfully it didn't drown the leaves. The Wagyu Spaghetti was average. Tastes quite good but i'm not 100% sure if the minced meat really is wagyu..you really can't tell when i'ts minced. oh well, i shall believe it to be wagyu. Makes me feel better. Would've been better if it weren't so oily...when I finished there was a small pool of oil at the base of the plate. 2. Bacon and mushroom spaghetti in tomato sauce (with salad, soup and drink)Didn't try this dish. But the plate was clean after the meal. Personally am not too fond of red sauce, so. Quite nice for a lunch <$100 in central.

16-10-2010重阳都要返公司做嘢 , lunch 当然要食好一点为自己打打气. 记得朋友 J 提过中环有间 "Wagyu" 几好食, 应该系指呢度吧, 又难得公众假期有开门, 又试试. 上到嚟先知原来系日式西餐厅? 然而觉得 lunch menu 的 Wagyu flank steak 及 Wagyu Hamburg 几吸引, 结果就叫了各一 set 方便 share 食.沙律系普通 green salad, rockets, 生菜, 车厘茄 etc 全都够新鲜, dressing (mustard seed dressing?) 份量刚好, 味道酸而不呛喉, 不过面头的芝士粉就有点画蛇添足, 味道 "Kraft" 又一挞挞的, 感觉一般.汤系蕃茄汤, 饮落则似走辣版罗宋汤, 不过几喜欢入面劲多的洋葱, 腍腍的又几香, 几满意.Wagyu flank steak: 中间呈粉红色, 卖相吸引, 食落少少韧, 不过肉味实在香 酱汁系 gravy? 唔算浓, 又好似带少少 garlic 味, 配牛肉不错, 送饭亦好.Wagyu Hamburg: 汉堡扒外带点香脆, 中间就仍生生哋, 质地软绵松化, 带点 herbs 及黑胡椒味, 亦食到粒粒肥及筋位, 好食㖞 酱汁系陈醋 based, 酸香十足, 亦减低了汉堡扒的油腻感, 配搭不错的. 配角除了面头的大根茸之外, 仲有 mashed potatoes, 烧过的蕃茄, 洋葱及疑似系虎皮尖椒的青椒, 其中特别喜欢 mashed potatoes, 质地有点粗糙, 但薯味好香, 仲带点甜及牛油香, 谂起人气豚丼店的薯仔沙律 (http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2119935) 两款牛肉都偏浓味, 送饭就最好, 更好的系呢度用日本米, 米香强劲带少少甜, 亦煮得偏干身及硬身, 啱晒我 嚟到日式西餐厅, 饮品当然叫了热咖啡, 一贯日式咖啡的唔算好浓但够香, 斋饮唔苦, 落糖落 cream 就当然香滑不少, 稳稳阵阵的.食物不错, 环境及配套亦十分好, 每人埋单 $120 有找, 值得试试的.

Our friend was telling us about this hamburger place on Stanley Street so decided to try it for lunch the other day.Much to our surprise, the restaurant was like one of those cute cafes you would find in Tokyo! .. with Japanese staff and japanese upbeat music playing in the background! Girls take note*: There's a pretty cute Japanese waiter too! Place is small hard to miss... * ;) We ordered:Steak tartare / Teriyaki Beef Burger / Cheese & tomato Hamburger steak / Beef curry / Dessert special - The Steak tartare was alright. liked their presentation with a very appetizing egg on top.- Teriyaki burger - DELISH*! Would def come back for it.- Cheese & tomato hamburger steak - could use more flavour...- Beef curry - Again could use more flavour - semi disappointed as i love Japanese curry and thought this place would do a good job. No need to order.- Dessert special - Crepe with icecream: Crepe was semi-dry and not as fresh as I expected it to be. Should have ordered the Green tea pudding recommended by Openrice bloggers instead For those who like japanese hamburger steaks, this is definitely a good, inexpensive place to dine! I'd recommend the burger version or the hamburger steak version that comes with rice.Really like the atmosphere of this place, casual yet initmate. They have an outdoor seating area too! Wouldn't mind re-visiting Kitchen Wagyu for Dinner once the weather cools down. A note: They have a seperate menu for Lunch & Dinner . So best to call ahead to make sure they have the teriyaki burger for dinner too!
