Nice healthy food. Many choice of beer. Great chill-out place under the sun. Can sit outdoor with my dogs.

在香港生活的压力不比任何一个地方少，绝大部份的人上班都只是为了糊口，有几多人可以说他们能在工作中找到快乐?西贡这一间酒吧却能打翻我上述的一番话，我是这儿的常客，差不多一星期总要来个一两次，而我从这些员工中学懂了一个一点都不简单的哲理 - BE JOYFUL，真的，从没有去过什么地方可以见到员工们上班都这么有动力，这么融恰，这么愉快，他们对自己的工作感到骄傲，他们很爱这儿的手工啤酒，每次入新货都一定会提早将这喜悦告诉客人，他们把同事当成家人，他们把客人当作朋友，他们每一天上班都是在enjoying life!当然，现实一点，来这儿的原因不单单因为这儿的服务好，还因为这儿的craft beer , wine 和食物都很有水准。这儿大概有十多款手工啤酒，从本地的young master 以及进口的IPA都有，除了啤酒外，这儿红/白酒的selection 也很不错，而且价钱相当便宜，大多都是由2百多去到3百多per bottle ，性价相当高此外，这儿的SANGRIA 也十分清新，而且每一樽都有写上制造日期，非常新鲜。至于食物方面是以TAPAS 为主，还有一些多国的小食，以下为okonomiyaki以及吞拿鱼刺身，okonomiyaki 是日本料理，这儿虽不是主打日本菜但却很创新，面层的sauce 值得一赞，另外，吞拿鱼刺身是腌制过了，再洒上salt and pepper ，甜中带咸，是我每次必点的食物pulled pork ，每条肉丝都非常入味顺带一提，这儿每逢星期3晚都有LIVE MUSIC，而这儿的咖啡也非常便宜，听友人说咖啡的质素很不错，这儿真的为西贡添加了不少色彩。

Strolling around Sai Kung Town on a fine Spring day is bound to make anyone hungry. With the plethora of choices in the small hamlet, it’s hard to know where to go. Should I nestle up seaside and enjoy the Chinese-style Seafood restaurants? Perhaps the main square with several Western restaurants? Even considering the question worked up an appetite.So it was with great joy that I spied the outdoor picnic tables in front of Casa Sai Kung. Mid-day wasn’t too busy so we grabbed a few tapas to enjoy as the sea air blew past us. We chose Buffalo Cauliflower with Bleu Cheese Sauce, 60HKD to start. The cauliflower is covered (not drenched) in a buffalo sauce that is generally mild to the taste. Consistency of the cauliflower was ok…it would have been a bit nicer had it retained a bit more of it’s crunch, but all in all the dish was good, and the bleu cheese dip paired nicely with the cauliflower.Next, we tried the Okonomiyaki, 70HKD. As a true Japanese lover (I lived in Hiroshima for 2+ years, a city renowned for it’s okonomiyaki), these did NOT do it for me. But the sauce was authentic and the presentation was nice, so I forgave the flavour, especially since Casa is not a Japanese restaurant. Valiant effort.Beer was out of the question at the time, but it was good to see they had a decent beer selection. I can see how Casa could be a great place to hang out with friends and pass the time munching on reasonably-sized tapas and delightful drinks. I may just have to visit once more.

一早BOOKMARK左CASA. 但因为路途遥远, 加上近日出埠多, WEEKEND都想宅在家, 懒得出西贡.偶然机会下, 能在一个阳光明媚的周末, 来访西贡. 既然来了, 第一时间提议到CASA 食个LUNCH.转角便见到CASA的室外枱凳. 不少外国客, 都颇有外国风情.为避开出面的二手烟及热风, 我们5个人选了室内一张长枱.室内全部系高枱高凳, 我地坐长凳都OK, 坐得较舒服. 而且枱底有个勾仔比人勾袋.店的MENU都是写在几道墙的黑板上. 刚好我坐的位置背向黑板, 而附近的黑板字体太小, 完全看不到. 所以都是朋友来发板. 初时还以为是比较正宗的西班牙TAPAS.看过MENU, 就只能预期是西餐, 不是西班牙小吃, 但是食物的SIZE是TAPAS. 点左以下食物:MEAT BALL – 好味 , 肉质唔会削, 个SAUCE 辣辣地, 点BAGUETTE食, 清晒. MUSSEL (IN WHITE WINE SAUCE?)– 不错, 细细只, 但只只厚肉, 胀卜卜, 难得的鲜味弹牙. MIXED SAUSAGES PLATTER – 呢个竟然系德国风的TAPAS. 好啱送啤酒! 3款香肠几好食, 酸瓜酸菜就好一般的麻麻. SPANISH SAUSAGE BACON ROLLS W/ CASHEW– 呢个似返D TAPAS… 咁油. 煮㶶左, 不过个味几好食. 又系送啤酒良伴. CALAMARY – 个个都以为系炸的, 点知系油浸的. 不过都算新鲜.因为DINNER会狂食, 今餐又多肉, 所以无叫到饮品, 只系饮 TAP WATER懒系平衡返 .个SERVER比左JAR 冰水我地.平时食西餐都会有面包摆低. 食到一半先发现无包, 谂紧好唔好叫多个PASTA. 见隔枱有篮BAGUETTE, 就问下个SERVER, 佢先比我地一篮. 食完都无再叫佢REFILL.CASA是用”E-BILL”, 就算碌卡都只系EMAIL返个RECEIPT比你. 落单又系用个PHABLET.服务OK啦. 好似人手唔多够. 个个都好忙, 唔会自动比面包/ 斟水/ 执枱, 不过叫到佢又好乐意咁帮手.

We were in Sai Kung today to do some shopping and came across Casa. Someone had told us about it and the only reason we hadn't been in yet was due to not having "walked past" it.Anyway, we got there quite early in the evening so there was no wait for a table which was good. However when we sat down, we had one waiter come over trying to sell drinks, who then proceeded to disappear when we said we were waiting for someone to join. Then a completely different waiter came over after again asking if they could explain the drinks menu to us....it's a tapas bar, we would have preferred they offered to explain the food rather than the self-explanatory drinks.I was a little dissapointed to hear they didn't serve regular soft drinks, only a speciality cola, which was way to sweet and tasted like a cola/root beer cross. Quite sickly when you just want a familiar drink with your meal. We ordered:Fried Chorizo: standard fare, decent portion, cut into long strips, was actually too much so we had it wrapped to take away (funnily they didn't have take away boxes so they wrapped in tin foil then put in a paper bag) Vegetables with Hummous: Sticks of carrot, peppers, celery and hummous, very standard, felt like a M&S lunch snack. Vegetables didn't taste fresh.Mussels: Very tasty a tad too salty though, came served in a beer mug which was cute, only one which smelt off, but we ate the rest.Bocadillios with Anchovies and Tomato: This was a dissapointment as I recently got back from Madrid where I had this. In Casa it was 4 small slices of baguette (not toasted) with a dab of butter, half a cherry tomato, an anchovy wrapped around a basil leaf. The butter didn't taste good at all, would have been better with olive oil. The bread was not toasted and the whole thing tasted too salty. Perhaps it was salted butter with the salty anchovy?Anyway, the food, was nothing special all the dishes were the "small" ones, the vegetables and the bocadillos were least worth the cost. This kind of place seems to serve better as a pre-dinner drinks and snacks to be honest, versus the sit down tapas long dinner kind of place you would get in Spain. It does have a good selection of beers and wines so for your aperitif it's not bad, lots of tables outside for smokers. The one thing that actually drove me crazy however was the inattentiveness of the staff. There must have been about 6 of them serving just a few tables, not counting the people in the open kitchen and the people milling around that were either friends or perhaps the owners, but all of them had their head down. They were busy drinking their own drinks or just dissapearing, in fact I heard the chef ask a few times where people had dissapeared to. Everytime we tried to get someone's attention we had to literally get up and walk over to one. They didn't hear calls or anything, and it wasn't that busy. For that very reason I would never come here again, there are pleanty of better restaurants in Sai Kung with better service, food and pricing. Too many cooks, or in this case waiters, spoil the broth.
