Meet Lobo (已結業)

有半年没有上Meet Lobo, 今次都只是早一晚打电话去碰碰运气，谁知刚有人取消订枱，所以有位，真幸运啊！言归正传，我们一行三人约7:30 pm到，餐厅不大，约有六、七张4人枱，但可以想像如果遇上一大枱10多人，声浪会是颇大的。不过好彩今晚没有这问题。食物方面，水准保持，每一道菜用料新鲜讲究，汁料都是一丝不苟，汤亦是非常够热。最喜欢大大粒又鲜味的带子、外脆内嫩的煎鹅肝、厚肉嫩滑的seabass、火喉刚好的美国ribeye、苦中带甜的心太软。。。我们下次定必回来试Iberia pork loin 呀！总结而言，$500一位好像有点贵，但它给你的是贵价食材，例如那片seabass在出面买返屋企自己煮，都要百多二百元。这里有齐几个courses, 免收瓶费，地点就脚，实为三五知己聚会不二之选。 继续阅读

刚在上星期五听从朋友建议到此餐厅一试,虽然只是普遍的晚饭,我是怀著兴奋的心情去的....但从一踏进餐厅的一刹那便开始失望,到走时我更是怒不可遏.餐厅地方很细,只可容纳3-4张4人枱,但当晚除了与我同行的2位朋友,另一边就是一枱约15人的大派对.相信大家已明白那情况是多么的惨烈.对方一大群人当然人多声浪嘈杂.但我们是理解的,一班人七嘴八舌是很正常的.期间有好几次他们的声浪真的过大而我们根本无法作任何倾谈时,我们2次要求侍应请他们略为收歛,好让大家可以共融好好吃一餐饭.但侍应好像没有认真劝谕对方,故我们只好尽快消灭所有食物但求逃离现场.突然另一个较年长的餐厅女员工(不知是否老板娘)走来向我们查询事前有否同事向我们提醒过当晚另有一大派对.我告诉她我没有收到通知而她就跑回服务台然之后给我看了一个手机短讯,并说"我地肯定有通知你架!".而短讯内容只是一般罐头讯息"Dear customer ...... remind our gentle friday is quite noisy." 我当时其实仍没有动气而我提议该女员工应该直接告诉我当晚是有一个很多人的订位,好让我可以选择是否改另一晚再去.但该女员工的态度真令我彻底失望.她不单一句对不起或不好意思的说话也没有,反而以很恶劣的态度回覆我说"我地冇可能咁样做!".之后就转身离开.我和2位朋友当时愕了然,面面相觑,深深奇怪到底发生了什么一回事!!!!!?????? 我们当然尽快吃过甜品之后立即叫埋单走人.在等单期间,我好奇走到窗边一看,原来餐厅是有一个小露台在室外,亦放有3-4张户外餐枱之类的摆位.我当时心想为什么当晚的情形,餐厅竟然不建议将我们搬出露台外用餐? 事实上以当晚的人数,餐厅是应该以有人包场的原因不接我的订位.又或者餐厅应该将实情告诉我让我有选择.我以前亦去过很多次私房菜,一般的服务是极好的,反而食物未必是最最重要.我觉得私房菜的服务及经营者的心态是应该比一般餐厅稍胜,因为顾客似是朋友多过客人.可惜这间餐厅待客心态并非客人,而是水鱼! 只好怪自己倒霉及选择错误.总之这是一次极差的体验,永不再去这餐厅亦绝不推荐给任何朋友!!! 继续阅读

到了铜锣湾一私房菜Meet Lobo晚膳。小小的店，约有4张桌子吧，没有华丽的装潢，可是感觉亲切。一点烛光，遇著对的人，还是会觉得很有情调。来这里之前，餐厅会要求你先确认每位宾客所点的菜式。这里不收corkage fee的，最适合你与好友酒聚呢 : )从来不懂得欣赏红酒的我，最近终于找到我喜欢的 — Pinot Noir，喜欢它的香气，而且很易入口。Starter Trio- Smoked salmon with capers/gerhkins/red onion/mango puree+Tiger shrimp with fresh herbs tomato reduction+Pan-fried quail leg with sake miso sauce这个Starter卖相精致，我最喜欢烟三文鱼的芒果汁，十分清新﹗所以店员也特别建议我们先吃这个开胃一下，迎接主菜 :）Creamy pumpkin soup with scallops非常香浓幼滑，赞﹗Baked portabello with bacon, tomato and mexican four cheese之前对这个菜没有太大期望，因为我不算十分爱吃蘑菇。想不到一咬下去，烘得略带焦的芝士加上鲜甜多汁的蕃茄和蘑菇，令我精神为之一振﹗French Foie Gras with MEET LOBO Sauce不吃鹅肝的我，只试了一小口，没料到是意料之外的惊喜，完全外脆内软，十分香口﹗Wild Chilean seabass with crabmeat tomato and garlic puree最爱吃鱼的我充满期待，鱼其实肉质不错，可是却配上沙律酱，而非简单的海盐和胡椒之类，实在怪怪的 @_@Apple crumbles 松脆至极，加上冰冻雪糕实在一绝﹗﹗﹗餐厅还有室外的位置，如果同行有吸烟的朋友的话，他们大可到这里抖抖气。Meet Lobo的服务非常贴心，亲切有礼，每道菜上桌时，店员都会为你详细介绍。每道菜之间相隔时间不短，所以最适合你跟三五知己享受「慢食」体验(我们便由晚上8时半吃至11时多)。晚餐每位HK$358起，我们享受了一个愉快的晚上 : ) 继续阅读

If you're searching for a luscious meal served by friendly staff in a pleasant and quiet environment, Meet Lobo is the perfect place for you. The menu includes lovely food inspired by french cuisine. The flavors vary from sweet to sour, bold to subtle, a true treat for a delicate palette: Meet Lobo Menu Starter Trio: It includes a piece of scallop with a cream sauce, a piece of french toast topped with fungi mushrooms resting on a bed on sprouts and a piece of chicken breast draped in a spinach sauce. The scallop was my #1 out of the three. It was tender and juicy, cooked with perfection, and the sauce was creamy to the max. The creamy dressing went deliciously well with the scallop. Although the mushrooms on the toast were a little salty, they tasted really good with the crispy toast. The sprouts were pretty refreshing too. The chicken was really tender and the spinach sauce complemented the breast and it was totally delectable on your tongue. The flavors all captivate my taste buds. Soup Of The Day: (Tomato and Bell Pepper Soup) The soup has nice home-style flavors. It was seasoned well and it made the soup a nice sharp wake up call for the rest of the meal. The spice to it gives you startling yet warm and cosy feeling. Entrees Regular: Baked Portebello Mushroom with Tomato and Cheese Topping. Although it was a pleasant dish, it wasn't that memorable. The crispy bacon was a contrast to the salty, gooey cheese and sweet tamato bits. The mushroom was very scrumptious, it had a nice bite to it and it was juicy and succulent. Special: French Fois Gras with Meet Lobo Sauce This dish was definitely the highlight of the evening. The crispy crust that wrapped the mouthwatering liver, it was divine. The compliments both go to the chef and supplier. The flavors include savoriness, sweetness and the seasoning is perfect. This is a necessity if you are considering to dine at Meet Lobo. This is a dish you will indeed enjoy. Main Course Chile Wild Sea- Bass with Butter Fried Cucumber and Martini Reductions (No comment, I didn't taste this dish, but I'm sure it tastes great!) Traditional Duck Confit (No comment, I didn't taste this dish either, but I'm sure it tastes great as the other one!) U.S.A.Prime Rib-eye Steak with White Bean Puree and Balsamic Vinegar Dressing (Medium rare) There is no other way to describe it: exquisite. The steak was so juicy, and the flavors were very strong. The first impression it gave me when I saw the look of it, the meat was just some old chewy slab of beef, the white bean puree just some random spoons of mush. But they were much more. Remember my friends, take this as a lesson to never judge a book by it's cover! All in all, this dish runs a close second on my list of delicacies! (WARNING: the puree is flavored a little spicy (I meant a lot!)) Miso Marinated Australian Lamb- Rack with Braised Vegetables This dish is served with a little consomme. It has light flavors and the breadcrumbs on it has never tasted better. The lamb meat itself was very tender and juicy. It was slightly pinkish and easy to cut through. A nice little cafe dish, however, it still fits to be on a menu so classy just like Meet Lobo's. Dessert Chocolate Lava Cake served with Vanila Ice Cream (No Comment, you must know by now what that means!) Chocolate lava did not spill out readily. Worse part, it was not hot enough. Apple CrumbleMy all-time favorite. They used green apples, raisons, with cinnamon and lime for the stuffing. The crust was crispy and buttery. Really went well with their cups of coffee or hot chocolate.P.S. And you really gonna meet Lobo himself too. Chef Lobo came out to chat and gulped wine with you. He is a cheerful chap. Guess his hobby? He is a drummer!!! He plays with his band and he will sure tell you a whole lot about their performance if you ask him along that line of talk. s a drummer!!! He plays with his band and he will sure tell you a whole lot about their performance if you ask him along that line of talk. 继续阅读

一年前MEET LOBO未搬之前,吃过一次这里的野生SEA BASS,一试难忘,一直挂念.新地方比以前大,老板娘及美女MODEL侍应,落力招呼,给冰桶,给酒杯,其志可嘉.前菜三重奏:Scallop Fresh Fennel Sauce 带子新煎得很香,鲜味,特别是其茴香汁,滑,与带子极之匠配.+ Assorted Wild Mushroom on Garlic Toast & Quail Eggs 杂菇配蒜蓉饱,配鹌鹑蛋,正!!+ Chicken Breast Skewer on Spinach Mayo鸡胸配菠菜蛋黄汁,个汁十分好味!磨菇汤,普普通通.French Foie Gras with MEET LOBO Sauce煎鹅肝,煎得不错!DUCK CONFIT不算干,但也不见得很特出.Chile Wild Seabass with Butter Fried Cucumber & Martini Redemptions 终于等到我期待的SEA BASS出场! 表皮煎得很脆,但不知是不是受到它的汁影响,太稀了!湿得把鱼都浸淋了.和老板娘闲谈时,问她我依稀记得上次吃时好像不是这个汁...原来真的没有记错!老板娘说,LOBO喜欢时不时转新款,换新汁..OH,NO~~另外朋友点的羊- Miso Marinated Australian Lambrack with Braised Vegetable看上去生熟程度不错,可惜那个汁,还是像一片汪洋....羊就是汪洋中的一条小船~~甜品点了心太软,朱古力的部份做得不错,很香浓,心也够软,但雪糕没有云呢拿籽在里头,不够香.至于这旧,我巳忘记叫什么了,好像是拿玻仑吧...可能是自我保护清洗系统发作吧!你看它面头像小朋友几十年前的装饰..一个字,唉~~老板娘说这新地方,租金比以前贵不少.不知道,是否因为租金贵了,食物水准有点儿下降了?心里希望,这不是真的.不竟,好吃的西餐,又不太贵的,经已不多了.还是给他一个笑脸,是给他的前菜和服务的.我想,我还会再来的,希望下次有更多惊喜吧. 继续阅读
