清真夏姆阿拉伯餐廳 (已結業)

最近想试上清真食品,在网上找到了这间看到地址感觉这间店真的有点远离闹市绝对适合朋友聚会~来到餐厅前玻璃全也贴上磨纱,感觉有一阵神秘感,不过这样感觉是较有私隐,不会给街外人望著进去后环境装修很不错,感觉很精致,餐桌放置也很松动...而且餐厅有部份是半开放式,感觉很有亲切感~去到点了一个主厨套餐~汤点了蘑菇浓汤和鸡肉汤, 奶味很香~~绝对值得一试前菜则是阿拉伯烤饼配柠汁茄子和沙拉柠汁茄子虽然我不太吃得出茄子的味道,反而比较像薯蓉中带点微酸,作为前菜醒胃~饭前值得一试~主菜忘了是什么名堂阿拉伯风味饭配上蕃茄洋葱汁和牛肉丸看似平凡但汁的味道甜甜酸酸也是很开胃~而阿拉伯风味饭比较像炒风,不会太黏口配上汁料真的很醒胃,令人食欲大增~~另外我们要了一个烤羊扒羊扒也是有很多香料的味道~浓浓的香料味配上阿拉伯风味的酱汁~~感觉是满特别的不过最后好像望了甜点...不过因为吃得太饱...没了甜点也没差整体感觉是一点也不油腻,味道也不会太浓列吃了不少,但其实每一道菜也很清淡~服务质素也很不错 继续阅读

This used to be called "Sham", an Islamic fast food restaurant serving grilled/fried chicken with rice/chips/bread.My review here before renovation:http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=2023517After my first meal at SHAM Fast Food I was hooked, and went twice, but then the third time is was closed for refurbishing.When I found out it had re-opened, I was so keen to eat that food again, however, from the new pictures, I realised it wouldn’t be fast food.I walked in, sat down, browsed the menu, ordered the Set dinner that includes a choice of starters, mains, dessert and soup, however the waitress with bad English said that the main dish was fixed, and also you could only choose one dish. Their paragragh regarding the set menu, requires cautious browsing, if you skim it, it looks like you can pick two dishes from the chef mains.That set costs $190 per person, which is quite a jump from the prices before as a fast food chain, the prices before ranged from $13-$85.The most expensive one at $85 was a family size meal including 3 drinks, 3 pieces of bread, fries, and chicken.Anyway, after I was told the choice of mains was fixed for the set, I picked other stuff on the menu, the waitress took my order and asked what about the other person, so I said we were sharing it.Then after 1 minute, she came over again, and said there was a minimum order of $100 per person, and the current bill came to $105.IF IT HAD CLEARLY STATED THAT ON THE MENU OR DISPLAYED IN THE RESTAURANT I WOULDNT HAVE BEEN SO ANNOYED.But anyway, I chose other stuff to make up for the $95, after noting my order, she said that it still wasn’t enough!For crying out loud! My arithmetic is Sham Shat, but hers was more sham shat than mine.I had to verbally add it in front of her!I said the existing bill was $105, and the addition of the hummus was $30, the falafel was $40 and the chicken wings were $30, so that’s $100 right.Then after she froze there for a few seconds, she said Oh yea!Finally sorted for ordering, I was waiting for the food.The hummus came first, which was a generous portion with very hot bread, then came the falafel, it was slightly dry, but nice.The main dish I ordered was the chicken Taook with potato puree and salad, the chicken thigh was tender and juicy, and the potato puree which looked like paste tasted very interesting, it was not starchy at all, the texture was a bit like Mado's ice-cream.Was then served the Arabic rice, which tasted as good as before, with bits in it.There are several versions, sometimes it has peas, this time it had short pieces of noodles.Overall the food was really really good, but if you have been here before, its like paying 150% of the fast food price served here before, although the food is slightly finer with out the chips, drinks etc.The chicken wings were not spectacular, didn’t taste of lemon or parsley, as stated.While we were there, another customer came in, after he ordered, he was told about the minimum charge, at that time we found out that waitress was from China as she spoke mandarin, and her accent was a bit different to the English accent of HK people.That moment, I really wanted to FAKE UP some mandarin and ask her, where is the shop or on the menu it saids about the minimum charge, but I figured, I could just fake it enough in mandarin to ask, but probably not understand her reply.Finally finished the meal, there was no 10% service charge, but I didn't expect there to be any.When we left, took a quick glance to see if there was any notice for minimum charge, but there wasn’t, only when we were outside the restaurant, we found this one piece of paper stuck on the front door stating the charge, AS if you would notice that! The first thing I would look at before going in a restaurant is the menu, and if there is anything in there I want to eat!Overall I felt the service was not that good, if she spoke better English, it would have made communication much easier. Secondly, they need to make that sign more prominent in the restaurant or menu too regarding minimum order. 继续阅读

北角清真快餐店重新开张? 当然要去品尝品尝!!做了十几年素食主义者, 来香港认识到清真餐点后又重新开荤, 这几个月吃遍大大小小清真餐厅, 对于刚吃肉的我而言虽然不怎么挑剔, 但就价格与环境跟食物的品质总感觉没那么相称, 这家店之前作快餐时口味及品质都不错, 就是价格及环境没那么登得了台面.这次从外面看感觉有点神秘, 玻璃贴满磨砂阿拉伯花纹, 一进门感觉就不太一样, 有种焕然一新的感觉, 据说所有装潢设计皆出自老板之手, 因为老板是阿拉伯人, 果然很有阿拉伯风!!食物也和之前不一样, 感觉更精致, 摆盘也很有地中海特色, 收费合理, 只是桌子小了点, 只能一道一道上, 不过服务倒是不错, 吃起来很舒服.我点了一份主厨特餐, 今天刚好是茄汁鸡翅阿拉伯风味饭, 有点酸又不会太酸, 鸡翅是先烤过再淋上酱汁, 所以不会像煮的一样松软, 主厨特餐都有附前菜汤饮料和甜点, 我点的前菜是阿拉伯烤饼加柠汁茄子酱, 叫做Mutaballe, 很特别, 听说是道地的中东开胃菜, 汤是蘑菇浓汤, 奶味很重, 甜点是水果塔, 饮料则是杏果汁, 听说非常有助于清除肠胃道!因为对他的装潢很感兴趣, 一开始拍了许多相片, 没想到之前忘记充电所以后来相机没电了, 很可惜没拍到食物, 希望下次有机会去再多拍一点餐点的相片. 继续阅读
