向来系前卫及Posh嘅母亲大人系系六月生日,小弟拣咗一间位于湾仔船街及庄士敦道一间上楼嘅型格食肆，请母亲大人食一餐有型又有款有好味道嘅西式午餐。因为第一次想去帮衬所以我哋两个都决定叫set lunch试试。呢间有型食肆你一坐低就有个鬼佬埋你问你饮Still or Sparkling, 要俾钱冇理由叫水饮，梗系叫有气矿泉水饮啦! 因为天气太热所以叫咗一杯Cocktail 名为Hong Kong Tai Tai (Grape, Ceylon Tea, Lemon & Ginger Ale )，虽然一啲都唔洗宝贝但小弟唔使五分钟就饮晒之后再叫一杯 Madam S’ Ate Tonic ( Grapefruit, Cranberry, Lavender Syrup & Tonic)。头盘我叫左个Beef Carpaccio比自己然后再叫热汤 Roast Duck Soup with Tortellini and Cornbread俾母亲大人,主菜我就叫左母亲大人最喜欢羊肉 (Lamp Rump with House Sausage)自己继续钟意牛肉 (Skirt Steak with French mushroom)。最后在叫咗个Sesame Bruleee with yoghurt bubble比母亲大人当系生日蛋糕呢个食lunch送两件餐包(味道唔错)，但当我决定encore嘅时候waiter就表示encore要收钱 <ANGRY!!!!> 出嚟请母亲大人食饭冇理由咁失礼, 人哋话要收钱就唔叫, 我就答个waiter:”要钱冇问题俾多份我啦!!!”讲真七百几蚊食set lunch连餐茶都冇!!! encore面包有要收钱…….真系唔抵，食物质素勉强可以值七百几蚊但因为价钱贵唔抵食所以餐厅全场只有十零个食客，我谂我下次想同揾一间冇乜人帮衬 嘅餐厅我先会再嚟帮衬

星期二到湾仔上关于工作上的training, lunch 有个半钟时间，揾间坐得舒服又唔迫人的地方食个闲闲的 lunch 慰劳一下自已，记得曾到过 Madam Sixty Ate 食佢的afternoon tea，气氛环境都唔错。大约12：45到，客人并不多，只有3﹣4枱二人的客人，真系够晒清静。可以好好咁静下看下文件。看过餐牌，我选择咗3 courses lunch set. 首先送上餐包，个牛油好有肉味，好特别好好食，哈哈，怕肥都要揸多D。头盘我拣咗呢个清汤，因为有sour cream的原故，饮落小小酸，我个人唔系好惯。 主菜拣咗BB鸡，D肉好幼嫩，而sauce就有好香的花生味，但有D油腻，总括都好食最后甜品的芒果好鲜甜，creme brulee 甜度恰到好处，整体有好清新的感觉。好满意。如果想揾个地方静静地同朋友倾下计，呢度食lunch真系唔错，食物也很用心去做的

Like many friends I know, I was devastated with the closing of The Principal. A bit shocked too I might add. It wasn't that long ago when the restaurant raved about capturing their second Michelin star but in only 6 months, they decided to throw in the white towel ending a great run under the guidance of Executive Chef Jonay Armas. Very sad indeed.What that meant to me was more than just losing my favorite lunch spot in Wanchai. It's an alarming fact that even some of the best restaurants in town could no longer afford the rising rents. To me, that was the more concerning part.So from now on, Restaurant Akrame takes over as my No.1 in Wanchai. But having just visited them not too long ago, I decided to go with other places this afternoon, places I've not visited for a long long time - Madam Sixty Ate or The Pawn?After checking out the menu at the Pawn, I decided to visit Madam Sixty Ate instead. (Too much fish on the menu for me.)Looks like poor business was everywhere in Wanchai. Still recalled Madam Sixty Ate as one of the more popular choices for lunch back in their hay days but now just one table at 12:45pm on a weekday. WTF?? That was incredible. Incredibly sad.I've always enjoyed dining at this spacious dining room. The design was very modern and elegant.After an underwhelming piece of bread, things began to turn around for me. I was in love with my starter the moment it arrived. A lovely duo of seared scallops with cauliflower cous cous, spiced corn, black garlic gel, almond and parsley. The scallops were a little more than half cooked, which was exactly the way I wanted. The cauliflower and black garlic were great matches for the sweetness of the scallops. And the spiced corn? Were they really corn puree? Tasted a lot like artichoke to me but surprisingly well matched with the rest of the ingredients. This was a well-designed dish. Well done (4/5).For main course, I went with their seared sea bass with confit tomato and pickled fennel. That was alright but not finger licking good. I did like the sauce which was made with egg yolk, fish stock and roasted garlic. Very rich and refreshing which was quite ideal to go with the sea bass (3/5).I was going to leave without dessert but somehow I found room under my belly for dessert like I always did (for dessert only). This was a simple dish of chocolate panna cotta served with strawberry parfait and chocolate powder. Found it a little interesting that they made the panna cotta in stripes. I thought it was "serviceable" (3/5).It's been a while since I last visited Madam Sixty Ate's Wanchai branch. I thought the ambiance was still very relaxed and enjoyable so of course I was a little disappointed to see the small crowd here. Will they follow the same fate of The Principal? Let's hope not.PS. Rumors now have Giando moving from their Fenwick Pier location to Star Street to take up the vacant spot by The Principal. Stay tuned.

Came with some expectations. Left with quite a lot of disappointments.Ordered 2 weekend set lunch at $308 each.BreadThe sourdough is piping hot and tasty, especially after wipg with the homemade butter. The best part of the meal.Starters1. Herb Risotto, mascarpone, and Serrano crusted soft eggThis is spendid. Although the risotto has lost its chewy texture after deep-frying, the combination of the sauce, cheese, poached egg and rice is unbeatable. The flavor is diversifying and interesting. 2. Celeriac and pear soup, duck croquettes and salad of shaved pear, fennel and thymeNot bad a dish to start. Taste a bit like Chinese pork soup however. The duck croquettes immersed in the liquid is great.Mains1. Wagyu tri tip, braised short rib, fondant potato, knobbled artichokes, french beans & tarragon (+$40)Wagyu is tender, juicy and great. Potato with jam tastes spendid. But that's all for the whole dish. The short rib is over-seasoned, so as the sauce. The artichokes is burnt. Overall, the entirety is a bit too salty. 2. Confit salmon, green peas, old grain crust, potato puree & bacon jamI.e. slow cook salmon. Nothing to bring home about. Mediocre.Dessert1. Lychee & white tea pannacotta, white chocolate parfait & pineappleThe most disappointing session of the meal. The pannacotta is lack of lychee and tea flavor. The pineapple is weird. It does not look or taste fresh. The whole plate is simply ruined. 2. Cinnamon spiced mandarins, lemon thyme cake & caramel ice creamIt did not perform much better. The lemon cake is dry and tasteless. The various components did not come well together.OverallThe quality of the food goes down as the meal advances. That is really distressing. The food quality and the service as a whole deserve an "okay", but considering the price, a "cry" is seemingly inescapable. Hence the verdict.
