Le Salon De Thé de Joël Robuchon (裝修中)

失戀復完三步曲:接受,放手,慶祝.雖然不捨,但愛,應該以對方幸福為依歸..決定放手,並以這個終極方法去破地獄,然後返回人間~就是去Robuchon一個人high tea!看見之前食評和menu以為多數吃不完,事先張揚問定侍者有紙袋外帶否?卻原來是一廂情願誤判份量大,或自己食量小.正如一段感情告終,總以為對方跟你一様傷心..女人就是這樣.點了Sweet Berry Tea,不用多久,先端上熱茶,然後三層tea set徐徐奉上,黑紅半三角錐體造型,有點簡約設計風.最頂層有scone兩件,一是原味,一是綠茶,配以Devonshire clotted cream及homemade草莓大黃根醬;個人很喜歡rhubarb大黄根,尤其配以草莓或萍果更見風味,層次特出;若是將大黃根單獨製成菓醬,反而顯得乏味單調.兩個司康餅都很有水準,其中綠茶味幽淡雅緻,個人很是喜歡.第二層咸點savories,分別有一件mini cinnamon croissant,兩個cherry tomato stuffed with Tuna & caviar,兩個mini pistachio mousse,asparagus & salmon roe, 一件mini burger with salmon.四款咸點水準一般無甚驚喜可言..比較下玉桂小牛角尚算香脆,釀車厘茄很家庭作業feel,三文魚漢堡味道平淡,而開心菓慕絲完全吃不出屬性,味道帶酸而質地很'膠'似中式缽仔糕,要查詢後方知是開心菓,我想gelatin份量可能有些不衡出錯..底層甜點pastries,有一件short pastry with Pistachio Macaroons,一件chocolate cake with peanuts white choco,一杯coconut mouse with passion fruits paste,一條dark choco candied orange peel,及一個almond cake.整體水平較咸點出色,開心菓馬卡龍很別緻,小巧可人,做base的short pastry鬆化,macaroon甜度適中.巧克力蛋糕滿載黑朱古力aroma,飾以白朱古力花生增加口感,不錯.黑朱古力糖漬橙皮水準不差.至於杏仁蛋糕反而有點粗疏,質地較'實'好像風乾久了,令人意外,最後的椰子熱情菓慕絲味道不太特出,個性不張,徒然浪費亮麗裝飾.當年澳門葡京酒店力邀Robuchon加盟開店做勢,不單一鳴天下响,贏得米芝連星級榮譽外更為酒店提昇了形象..記得餐後侍者分別推出甜點車和糖菓車,任客選擇.那驚為天人震撼味蕾的味道和七彩繽紛的視覺享受,我至今仍難以忘懷..成終身法國美食印記.而一水之隔的香港置地Robuchon,L'Atelier和Salon de Thé開業至今已八載..不清楚茶藝沙龍是否跟幾步之遙的餐廳供應同類點心,或是同一廚房出品?個人認為以羅布松名氣,是次嚐到的食品水平未達標.香港店雖然沒賭場酒店去補貼,但平價食材也可以做出優質美食..問題在menu design,和品質管理上.香港真要努力加油,否則由美食之都淪為'尾食之都'就不大好了...如同我由美女變成尾女也是令人遺憾百般無奈啊.. …查看更多

so my friend and i decided to try out the tea sets at Robuchon, and we picked the full tea set for 2 which cost $298.the set came with 2 drinks (either tea or coffee). I ordered lady grey tea while my friend got a cupt of coffee. we started with the savory stuff. there were four mini-sandwiches. One had Norwegian Salmon on it, which was pretty nice. One had tuna, parma ham, a bit of vege and olives. I'm not a fan of olives, but I still find this sandwich tasty =) the sandwich at the very back of my photo was the best out of the four. There was a slight touch with spices on it and it made the sandwich pretty refreshing. the greenish sandwich was fine with a soft texture. then we moved on to the scones. they were served with clotted cream and strawberry jam. there were strawberry dices in the jam and i just LOVED it :) the scones were of mini sizes too. the rectangular ones were raisin scones and the round ones were lemon-flavored (i think i saw 'lemon' on the menu) but it tasted just like any plain scones. after we're done, the waiter collected the dishes and brought us the most anticipated part of our tea - pastries. they were so nicely set up. We had the almond chocolate first. it was good, but would be better if there were less almonds. and we have a lemon-mousse thingy with mixed berries on top, i would say it was as good as Robuchon's lemon tart, except that it was a bit more creamy. and we had a hazelnut cake, which was lovely also. blueberry cheesecake was like any normal blueberry cheesecake. there was one cake that looked like chestnut cake, but it actually tasted like passionfruit/ grapefruit cake. I liked the taste, because it gave us a totally different flavor other than desserts that had chocolate ingredients. and we had the three mini-macarons. this time they gave us hazelbut macarons (i saw a couple at another table were having greenish macarons which might be pistachio macarons). it was GREAT! with a strong taste of hazelnut :) we only had a bite of the plain cake in the end, it was good too, but we were too full to finish everything up.it was a fine experience overall. From how the waiters served, you could see that they were quite well-trained =). I would definitely return for tea again =)…查看更多
