两星期前，约了朋友见面庆祝她的生日。当晚她已有饭局，于是便约我大概十时见面。原来他们到了Le Tire Bouchon。我就在不太知情之下，早到了，成了电灯胆 (but that's another story)...去到时他们的主菜才吃到一半，两人都点了鸭胸，看样子还不错，而且他们都说好吃。然后是甜品时间，基于天生为食并且本著「吃点东西好过斋坐」的心态，便点了苹果挞(tarte de pomme)，餐牌上写著需时约二十分钟。而朋友则点了crème brûlée法式炖蛋。照计两样都是大路货色，堂堂一间历史悠久的法国餐厅应该不会做错，怎料...不消三分钟，我们的甜品经已火速到达。心里暗叫不妙。果然，我的苹果挞一笃就散！放入口里，竟然是冻的，是刚从冰箱拿出来的冻，实在无话可说。朋友的crème brûlée也是普普通通。想起来，对上一次来已经是十年八年前的事了。那时候的水准高很多，如今跌watt，真的有点可惜。

Le Tire Bouchon has a rustic old world feel and serves reasonably authentic french brasserie cuisine. Interiors are large and feels homely. When we went, it was very quiet though even for a weekend night.They make their own sausages and some of it was a little too gamey for my taste especially the tripe ones.Appetizers were truly delicious, with the scallops being my favorite. Main courses were also good but not as impressive as the appetizers. DOn't get be wrong, it was tasty but it did also feel not very complex and simple seasoning was used. If you are looking for modern french, some foam, innovative fusion sauce, this is not the place. The food is simple and hearty. It was good enough for me warrant a second trip.

1 June 2007 (Fri) - 晚饭这晚我应承朋友请佢食饭，因为隔几天是他的生辰，本来我打算选择地点，怎料他郤说由得来选，我事前己叫他不要选太贵的，怎料最后埋单都过千元，真的肉赤死我！餐厅灯光芬暗，气氛不俗，环境看似略旧，也觉得去！其实原本这间法国餐厅的set dinner都不是太贵，但是这朋友是那种晚餐必喝酒的人，所以点了一支$380大元的红酒，而set dinner 则是$245一位，有3 courses，再加一支perrier，要$60大元，再加一就过千了．．．set dinner 头盘我拣了soup of the day，而朋友拣了虾沙律，main course我拣了salmon，朋友拣了rib eye steak，dessert我拣了mixed fruit，朋友拣了chocolate pudding with strawberry，其实所有餐都是我拣的，因为朋友的胃口不大，所以多数选了的都是我吃为多，亦正因如此，他亦叫我替他选择！我的餐汤是pumpkin soup，好正，好浓，有南瓜溶在内，所以很是饱肚！友人的虾沙律也很不俗，除了虾，还有鱿鱼圈及青口，但是青口居然有壳在内，朋友都把some of them 吐出，除此之外，都没有大问题！main course我的鱼很是好味，又滑，牛油味好重，但并不腻！朋友的肉眼扒非常正！叫了medium rare，很出色，煎得很淋，份量亦不俗，值得推介！最后的甜品就略为逊色，两样都麻麻，但是以他们绝顶的main courses，我也可以给这餐厅笑面！红酒，我不大懂，但是这么贵的，一定不会差．．．在此再祝朋友生日快乐，但是希望下年能为我的荷包著想，我并不似他般有钱．．．

A nice restaurant with comfortable, quiet & romantic setting. We ordered a soup and the scallop salad for appetizer. The salad had quite a lot scallops and tasted quite good. For the main course, we ordered salmon, which tasted really good. And my friend ordered duck, which was good too. We ordered some cheese and the fruit desert. They’ve some really good cheese. The presentation of the fruit desert was lovely. Service is really good; they always have a smile on their face. Would be a nice place to take a girl on the first date and try to impress her.
