招牌菜
是晚跟从加拿大返黎既朋友仔晚饭只待一年系香港既, 咁样既饭局唔知仲可以有几多次, 要好好珍惜一番上次食左韩国菜, 今次要回味西式的呢先要了yuk cheese & poach egg salad 做appetizeryuk cheese偏硬亦唔重芝士味冻烚蛋做得唔好, 食得出好清水既「寡口」感青菜也是苦的主菜之前, 品下一小杯organic white wine好纯好厚身既白酒而且甜度好好各自点了两款不同既pasta朋友仔要了pan-fried scallop on pesto angel hair十级青草味, 用油分量, 一点味道也没有, 很失望反观我点的Linguine with black truffle and wild mushroom sauce 就唔错起码有味的, 虽然唔称得上系好浓既黑松露但配左唔少野菌既扁意粉却带来烟un口感, 亦比较香口甜品点了一件dark chocolate cake卖相唔靓, 蛋糕系硬既, 亦无朱古力味朋友仔决定到外面食desserts, 走也!!

Went to restaurant in April 2011 for diner. Three of us ordered main dishes without drinks and only one starter. The starter was a Yak cheese fried wantons, 6 pieces for $45.. I love Yak cheese and was very dissapointed. The amount of cheese they used was so miniscule that you could not taste it. As a main, I ordered angel hair pasta and scallops. Not the best I ever had but not bad at all. But at $168, I was expecting more than a timy pile of food on my plate (I had to eat something when I got home). My guests ordered the New Zealand beef and lamb. I tasted each and again, they did a wonderful job of presenting very basic tasting dishes. The bill came to nearly $600 and I decided to warn others about being dissapointed.

Second time there - my first visit when it had just opened was quite pleasant. Menu has changed and the range of options seemed to have been scaled down which is fine. I've ordered a Caesar with Salmon and Yak Cheese (with a TINY TINY amount of cheese - it did not feel right - the salmon fillets were OK, but nothing exceptional) and my partner got some pasta (was it pesto ? I can't recall - but the taste was OK - not great). The service was very fast (rushed?) - we shared their signature cheese cake. There are only two desserts to choose from and we assumed that it would be somewhat really good, well ... the semi-fredo Yak cheese cake is really underwhelming. Service: there was a couple next to us who seemed top be getting a lot of attention, we both felt that we were not welcome there. The service should be equal for everyone - or at least not obviously so different. Rushed dinner (30 mins) - at 300HK$ for two - felt overpriced and rather pretentious / arrogant.Won't return.

Since the lunch appointment was with 2 weight-conscious friends, I thought I would introduce them to this quaint little cafe in my hood.The menu is very straight-forward: set lunch with 2 choices of main dish. I chose the Spaghetti Carbonara and they picked the pork chop with mashed sweet potato.Salad and soupSalad was a tiny dish of ordinary salad leaves, but the dressing was tasty. Soup was also in dainty portion, but it had a good amount of vegetables in it and tasted fresh rather than canned, albeit it was the Hong Kong-nised version of Minestrone. So if you are a stickler for authentic Minestrone, just treat this as vegetable soup!Main dishI liked the fact that my Carbonara was without cream, but the egg seemed to be missing too, as was the pancetta (they put in bacon instead). So I had to forget that it was Carbonara and ate it as a dish of spaghetti with bacon. With that frame of mind, I could declare it a yummy dish of al dente spaghetti.My weight-watching friends ordered the pork chop as they did some exercise that morning and needed sustenance. That dish did not give the the calories they were looking for. Each portion was half a piece of pork chop and a small scoop of mash. They said the dish was fine but they were obviously still hungry afterwards.DessertsFortunately, dessert was included. To my delight, it was jelly!!!!! Banana jelly, never had it before... not bad but once again, tiny.We had no choice but to order a piece of yak milk cheese cake to fill up the gaps. This turned out to be the highlight of the meal. The yak cheese did have a stronger gamey taste than ordinary cheese, but not as strong as goat cheese. The cake was slightly salty as well,quite an unusual and unexpected taste. This was the second time I had it and on both occasions, my friends would stop in their tracks, paused (you could see them really working their taste buds) and declared they liked it.All in all, taste-wise, it was not bad but not for someone with a hearty appetite.

考完了一科,继续放我的有压力假期.跑到湾仔这边来散散心,顺道找个地方解决午饭. 午饭时间,一大群上班族涌入星街光明街等小巷,跟著人潮左拐右拐,转入了好像与湾仔的尘嚣隔绝的日街.选了这间以天然为卖点的小餐厅.小小的一间舖,开放式厨房,只有3人在工作,看似老板娘的店员独力担任侍应的工作,客人不多.餐厅摆设以简约为主,环境舒适宁静,有点欧洲近郊小餐馆的风味.坐在近门口位置,有一个大雪柜在旁,里面放了不少Natural Energy Drinks,墙上的一黑板写下了其他选择,都是天然之选,连House wine都是organic的.午餐只有3款选择,另附沙律,汤,甜品和饮品,不收加一服务费.先来的是田园沙律,数款生菜和车厘茄,佐以黑醋汁,酸酸的清新醒胃. 餐汤是周打鱼忌廉汤,本身不是太喜欢忌廉汤,嫌其太腻.但这汤是出乎意料的清,味道足而不会水汪汪,忌廉份量拿捏得刚好.上面放了数颗香脆面包糠,内面有大量薯仔粒,红萝卜粒和鱼肉碎,喝起上来更惹味.主菜是香煎龙利柳配咖哩汁,可跟有机糯/香米饭或紫薯蓉,听上去都很吸引,但最后还是选了紫薯蓉.份量比较少,一球搓成雪糕状的紫薯蓉, 三片薄小的龙利柳和一大堆津菜和红萝卜等配菜. 紫薯蓉入口香甜,番薯质感软软粉粉的.龙利柳小块煎得香,肉嫩滑.可惜咖哩汁稀而味怪,有一种香草腥味,味太甜而不够香辛,跟龙利柳不合拍,又把紫薯蓉的香甜盖过,著实是败笔也.是日甜品是自家制橘子布丁,虽只是用一个小胶杯盛著,但入口橘味香,甜度适中,奶味不重却又很滑,有点像豆花的质感,里面还有不少橘子肉,清新可口.最后餐饮要了热柠水作一个简单的结尾.整餐饭好像吃过不少东西,但因主菜份量少,吃毕刚好,不会太饱.对成年男人来说可能太少,不过见到邻桌的客人有加料,配紫薯蓉外再加了饭,相信也是大家可参考之方案. 总括而言, 食物有心思有创意,予人感觉健康舒服,值得一试.
