坚持周一的lunch放下颓饭，要出外吃好一点；这次选了wishlist上的Fleur de Sel环境地点Fleur de Sel在中环soho附近的嘉咸街上，由soho的"墨西哥美食"横过小巷即可看到斜街上的小店店的环境不俗，走简约风格，空间感足，感觉蛮不错！座位也够阔落，坐得舒适！难得是午市客人很少，感觉十分悠闲！食物品评Executive Set Lunch ($108 + 10%)平日限定的Set，此Set包含一款咸味的Galette及一款甜品Crepe，并附有餐汤/沙律及餐饮，真的相当超值！！Mixed Salad跟餐的沙律中，这个可算是我吃过最有诚意的一份！沙律份量适中，用上不少种类的蔬菜，都很新鲜！除了蔬菜还加上了咸香的火腿及芝士，令这份沙律的吸引度直线提升！真是相当有诚意！！Expresso (单点价$28)Single Shot 的Expresso，份量少得可怜；咖啡的香味不俗，酸劲颇强，唯一不满意是上桌过早，竟然是一开始就上桌，紧接沙律而来，两者同吃实在很不搭！Complete (单点价$79)相当大份的Galette，用料虽然简单，就是芝士火腿加个蛋，一目瞭然，但配搭起来却已足够美味！这家的Galette饼皮做得相当可口，焦脆得来完全不苦，口味上绝对比LA Creperie来得好！更别提在气氛上比它优胜百倍！(在LA Creperie吃平日午餐感觉跟打仗没分别！)这片Galette真是相当美味又饱肚！滋味喔！Crepe with Homemade Caramel Sauce (单点价$4x)甜品Crepe也是大大一块！用上简单的焦糖浆已经相当可口！Crepe皮相当软韧，很有嚼劲；Homemade Caramel Sauce味道十分好，浓甜美味，吃完真是相当满足！总括来说，中环这间Fleur de Sel真是很好的法式Galette Lunch之选，除了地点不太就脚外，其他如环境、服务、食品、价格都相当好，我是真的颇意外午市时段竟然只有两桌客人到访，实在不解…Anyway，对我却不是坏事，让我慢活了一个写意悠闲的午餐~部份餐牌价钱：

It was 10pm.E and I had just finished dinner at Red Restaurant IFC. I suggested we go elsewhere for dessert and E, as usual, proposed getting Chinese sweet soup. We strolled to Soho hoping to eat at that place along the pedestrian escalator (HFL) serving famous vegetable rice and sweet soups but, to our dismay, it had been unknowingly replaced by another resto. Hence we wandered further up and arrived at Graham St. Between Sift and Fleur de sel, we picked the latter.Service:Good service - the waitress was very helpful and friendly.Food: Speculoos crepe with vanilla ice cream (sprinkled with crushed speculoos) ~$80To be honest $80 is really expensive for a crepe considering how it's really just eggs, flour, sugar, and whatever condiment they pile on it. Sigh. As with many other things. Okay it's really eggy biscuits taking a flatter, bigger form, with toppings. Meh. Eggy biscuits cost $20 max per batch. By way of background, the idea of a speculoos crepe appealed to me at all only because G introduced me to the wonderful and amazing realm of speculoos (by buying me a jar of cookie butter from Trader Joe's). Thanks, G. The crepe was around two 10 cents coins thick and quite even. Tasted sufficiently sweet standing alone. No crisp edges because it wasn't thin enough, but it's alright because the topping was tasty. A thick, guilt-inducing spread of speculoos on half of the crepe; quite sweet but slightly savoury at the same time; kinda like peanut butter but sweeter, and spiced with, among others, cinnamon and nutmeg. The lone scoop of vanilla ice cream was not too sweet or thick which helped to cut the sweetness. Only vanilla would've worked, out of the conventional ice cream flavours. Chocolate would've been too rich. The speculoos sprinkles added an extra grainy texture to the otherwise doughy dessert. Not that it was necessary - didn't care much for texture because it was too yummy. Late night desserts...once in a blue moon. Glad I shared it with you, E. ConclusionWon't mind returning to try some other crepes, maybe the savoury ones. But I feel indifferent towards the creperies in town - the more well-known ones being La Creperie and Fleur de Sel. La Creperie has a wider selection of food I think, and a longer establishment. I was equally happy with my experiences at both restaurants.

到过法国便会爱上它的食物。她们的食材,总有著, 地灵而物洁 的感觉。餐厅为「法国五月」推了三款薄饼,紧张赶及品尝。亦要试尽它们!一灌在法国用餐的作风,没有温水供应,唯有叫了一杯dry cider$38(好味过sweet呀), 和百爵茶一杯$30。薄饼顺序送来。布地根红酒汁薄饼Oeuf Meurette。布地根是顶级葡萄酒产地,这里用上整支红酒加菜熬成汁,再加菇、烟肉。红酒味浓得叫人疯狂!酒味浓缩得令人陶醉!自家logo面包粒脆面内有o赵口,有趣有趣!蜗牛薄饼Bourguignone, 因为外国人调汁酱太巧究了,不知道除了白酒、芝士外,说不出是什么味源。但这个汁是好好好好味,浓浓的。蜗牛爽身,没罐头腥味,好肥美!Epoisse薄饼, 不喜欢那片风干肉肠,却极喜欢那薯仔粒+Epoisse cheese。法国的薯仔特别好食!粉得来不会蓉o系口,咬下极有薯味。Epoisse有人会觉”kun”,但属于轻微。它是洗浸芝士,更是白酒洗浸。那朕, 独特”酒kun”,我倒欣赏啊! 配上酸酸蛋黄汁沙律菜,refresh一下口腔呢!送的甜crepes,法藉老板推介自家焦糖,但在铜锣湾铺已吃过,今选朱古力,反正同样是自家制。朱古力酱,好吃!如再多d可以食真d,因为甜饼比咸饼厚身,需要更多的浆汁伴食。幸好咸饼是薄薄的麦饼,两个人吃三片,总算清得晒。再加甜一块(虽没topping)真大满足。老板问我们那款最好,我们异口同声snails! 哈哈!其实三款都拍岸叫绝!一次吃齐三款,脑里闪过...「法国佳酿‧人间美食」。

星期六的中环，相对于过去五天，特别显得宁静，尤其在这行人电梯与SOHO中间的地带。慢慢行上嘉咸街这间食店 (也因为穿了四吋厚底鞋只能慢行)，享受一下法式风情。相对于铜锣湾的一号舖，这二号舖面积较小，但装修简洁鲜明。趟开门，数张高椅和高枱就随意地放在吧枱前，而用餐的另一边，则以白色配以橙色，小小地方却分野鲜明，足以看出法国人对品味的触觉。年轻的法籍店长懒懒的坐在后方，望著我们三个细声讲、大声笑，应该在后方翻白眼吧！黑板上仍有Le French May的优惠，只要点三个指定的galette(咸味薄饼)，就会送一个甜味crepe 。刚好三人同来，就每款来一个。Ouef meurette，材料中最抢眼的就是一颗埋在中间的poached egg，轻轻把它切开，蛋液缓缓地流到其他材料中，把炒香的洋葱、杂菌、烟肉加添蛋香和湿度。红酒汁放在薄饼上也是第一次见到，除把颜色变得香艳外，也为味道添上一点点酒香。La bourguignonne，重口味的一个。忌廉汁内藏著磨菇、法国蜗牛和烟肉，中间一把嫩绿菠菜却把味道中和。薄饼索满忌廉汁，吃下去满口香浓，菠菜的功用，应是减低那浓郁奶油香所带来的罪恶感。L’Epoisse，当中有炒香的薯仔，l’epoisse cheese 和数片rosette de lyon (法式风干香肠之类)。这个薄饼的形状较四整，凸显香脆的饼皮，材料质感清爽，味道因著芝士的关系，仍带咸香。伴著沙律菜，减低浓烈的口感。最后附送的甜品，选了朱古力口味。简单的在crepe上淋上朱古力酱，切开九份均分，每片都沾上不少份量，加上饼皮柔软非常，吃下不会有干啃的感觉。一份三人分享，轻轻地满足了我们的甜牙齿。法籍店长和我们说声 have a nice day，开心地完结这餐。

I loved the Fleur de Sel in CWB. Unfortunately I live quite far from CWB and getting there is a hassle. So imagine my joy when they opened one in SoHo! I have to say this one seems to be a bit better than the original, not sure why. It is also quite a bit emptier, again, not sure why. Delicious, reasonably priced, authentic French crepes in SoHo, it really should be quite full on a Saturday night. Either way, every time I've been here, I've had great friendly service, waiters who aren't too busy or uptight to have a small chat and make recommendations or answer questions, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole dining experience, though admittedly the windows could be a bit more soundproof. The last time I was there we tried a Truffle crepe and a French May special, the Bourguignonne, snails and lardons. Both were delicious (though I think leaving out the optional camembert from the Truffe would be a good idea as it is heavy and tasty enough as it is, and will save you $20 in the process). The Bourguignonne did not skimp on the escargots, and was very well cooked. The dessert crepes were amazing as always, the special French May choice was one with pannacotta and red fruits (I forget the name), unusually tied up into a bundle with some type of string candy. The fresh, tangy-ness of the fruit went perfectly with the sweet whipped cream and chocolate crepe. I hope to see this one staying on the menu after the French May is over. And of course you must have some cidre with the crepes, it really enhances the flavour and counteracts the richness. For a 2 person meal with 4 crepes and 2 cups of cider, we spent $530, extremely reasonable. To sum up, Fleur de Sel Central makes for a great romantic dinner or even just with friends. The food is priced right and tastes great, the atmosphere is very nice, the service is friendly, and the location is convenient. *the phone will usually be answered in French in my experience, but don't let that put you off since they speak perfectly good English too.
