One of the restaurants at Stanley that we have always wanted to try, so away from the New Year’s Eve crowd, we thought we would give it a shot.To begin our experience, we had been presented with a misleading, yet awfully written menu. There is a choice of a 3-Course or 4-course menu. Foie Gras or Soup; Crab Pasta; Lamb or Steak & Prawns or Salmon; Truffle Chocolate Cake (exact Chinese translation on the menu: 黑菘露蛋糕). We have chosen the 3-course with soup and the Lamb, but we only discover after the 2nd course that dessert is a must have course whether 3 or 4 courses. It is definitely the first that we have experience, not expecting to have dessert as it is not often that we find good quality pastries in a free standing restaurant. Since there isn’t much choice, we had no choice but to have the 黑菘露蛋糕, since we have never had 黑菘露in a dessert… The lobster bisque is just right with a nice creamy foam that is not too greasy. The lamb rack was juicy and done exactly how we wanted with nice side vegetables. The soup was served in a typical ‘Garden Restaurant’ type soup bowl, but we later discovered that the table next to us had their soup served in a fancy taller bowl with at least 50% more content, yet it is of the same set menu. To top up the missing dish that we thought we would have, we have ordered the Fish and Chips. Apart from the fact that Potato wedges came instead of the ‘Chips’ that is stated on the menu, the food quality has certainly exceeded our expectation. The fish is juicy, batter crispy, good coleslaw. The tartar sauce has got bits of orangey fruits that are not gherkins thought…Finally, we got to dessert, the 黑菘露蛋糕that we were made to have. It is no more than a layered cake with cream, a chocolate colour sponge, chocolate mouse, and a chocolate coating, and not the non-sense from the waiter that黑菘露is ‘mixed’ with the chocolate… As far as service is concerned, a loose bunch of men and women with no soul in their work producing consistently bad service. None of them bothered to offer another drink after the glass is emptied and they didn’t even pick the empty glass up until I was half way through the second drink, not to mention the length of time taken for the arrival of the 2nd drink….PS. the restaurant wasn’t even full…. Aren’t they supposed to maximize sale!? Come on, it is New Year’s eve… when else to do it!? All in all, we have enjoyed the food apart from dessert. But we were let down by the poor service and misleading information provided on the menu. To have paid almost $900 for 2 for such an evening is unacceptable and needless to say ruining our last evening in 2009.

周末还要上班去，恼人得很。放工后，友人居然提议到赤柱行逛兼晚餐，拍案叫绝。左拣右拣，最终拣选这间，贪其外表装潢洋溢，价钱合理，5点50分到著，在没有订位的情况底下，还可以安排靠窗位置，好彩极了。叫了一个sunset dinner，头盘选了凯撒沙律配鸡肉，新鲜的疏菜，配上脆卜卜的面包糠粒，加上丝丝的鸡肉及芝士，好一个清新健康的开始。主菜要了印式烧焗芝士鸡柳配蒜香薄饼，名字很是吸引，上台卖相也相当精致，很是fusion既菜色，但我即时怀疑是否食得饱肚，因为只有两条鸡柳及四块Nann。味道却是很一半，仅仅合格。鸡柳雪藏货色，鞋口，食不到芝士味；四块Nann亦食不到蒜香味，反而两款酱汁配搭令整体食物味道提升不少。名大于实的一道菜。甜品是经典的「提拉美素」，卖相亦相当精致，伴以士多啤梨及香橙，碟上挑花，令人赏心悦目。Tiramisu很重的咖啡味道及少少的酒味，激赞!另散叫一个烤牛肉汉堡，配以薯条及沙律，这道菜是惊喜之作。汉堡鲜嫩多汁，真的是「咬落香甜又唔腥」，包亦松软可口，芝士半溶状态，视觉效果已是一绝。伴碟的薯条热烘烘的，晒上粒粒的粗盬，内软外脆，相当对版。侍应服务是满意的，主动帮助影相，只是我们已是老夫老妻年代，不作花臣玩意，亦不是甚么庆祝节日，婉拒了。价钱相当合理，set dinner $198+10%，汉堡餐只须$115，相比市区高中档餐厅，这里是超值的。环境一流，灯光昏暗，浪漫写意，景观开扬，在此吃一顿接近两小时的晚餐，确是人生一乐也。
