口利福

營業中

休息中

近年越來越多年輕一輩喜愛外出吃飯, 朋友聚會, 拍拖, 甚至是OT後自己一個, 一個星期在街外吃飯的次數起碼都會有三, 四次. 而選擇的菜色, 除了最受歡迎的日本菜之外, 幾乎大多是西餐意大利菜之類的外地菜色. 中菜嗎? 似乎又挑不起他們的興趣. 不過近日得知有間新開的中菜餐廳, 大廚居然是在外國長大做法國菜出身, 於澳洲衝出名堂的台灣人! 聽起來跟粵菜風牛馬不相及, 不過單單看餐廳名字就知玩味十足. 到底這裡的菜色會擦出什麼樣的火花? 食物是否又如名字一樣玩玩下? 好奇心滿瀉的宅女馬上約了幾個朋友一同來探探路!!這家位於中環伊利近街的口利福, 其實剛剛在六月底才正式營業. 老闆兼大廚JOWETT YU只是個八十後的台灣人, 但來頭甚猛. 年輕時曾分別在溫哥華及澳洲修習法國及日本菜, 之後便悉尼的摩登中菜館MRS. G'S 及MR WONG當大廚, 更在短短三年間替MR WONG奪得澳洲美食旅遊家最佳新餐廳的美譽, 用後生可畏來形容JOWETT YU就實在最適合不過了. 而他這次在香港開設的餐廳口利福, 如果用英文說起來就點像粗口, 不過原來中文解釋是希望為香港人帶來口福, 玩味背後帶

記得許多年前，從一個名叫「尋找他鄉的故事」之電視節目裡，獲悉幾乎世界每一個角落都有著華人的足跡，而節目內所講述每一個華人在他國落地竹生根、拼搏與及生活點滴的真人真事，更為之動人！有些更是差不到，曾經歷大屠殺、種族滅絕的盧旺達，神秘的百慕達，以至令人迷失的撒哈拉，只要有陽光照耀的土地，便能引來華人植根，而中國菜的種子也藉華人飄洋過海，在海外結出不同特色的唐人餐果子來。中國民族共有八十多種方言，相信無一方言能比得上麻雀這種共通語言，不用開口便能心領神匯地溝通，亦是老少咸宜的一種娛樂。「口利福」有一面麻雀作裝飾的矮牆，將富有中國文化特色的點子揭開！大門口的左手邊便是開放式廚房，有著摩登大牌檔的感覺，主廚 Jowett Yu 也在忙碌中！徐徐地從樓梯往下走，便進入了用餐區。用餐區燈光昏暗，播放著搖滾音樂，不忘注入不少的本土玩味，氣氛輕鬆！細看牆上掛畫取材自香港大牌檔的面貌，更能體現主廚 Jowett Yu 熱愛香港文化的心態！那邊廂「九龍皇帝曾灶財」的墨寶又以屏風的格式呈於眼前。「口利福」餐牌的封面紅紅綠綠，富有六十年代的懷舊氣息！「口利福」設有八款雞尾酒和三款 Mocktail，我選了雞尾酒

實在想不到我還會到口利福這類店子吃飯。平時吃傳統中菜還要挑三揀四的，今晚竟然來這裡吃煮給洋人吃的新派中菜。位於在荷里活道旁一條小小橫巷，附近沒有泊車位，離行人扶手電梯遠遠的；若非朋友介紹，絕不會自己摸到這兒來。地面是半開放式廚房，廚子們全是非華裔人士。最醒目的是一片由麻雀牌子砌成的矮牆；一條漆黑樓梯，引領至地窖。餐廳座無虛席。左邊是一整桌金髮洋人，右邊是七、八個只得十多歲的少男少女，操著流利英語，打扮得準備等下子去clubbing跳舞的樣子。幾個少女濃妝短裙高跟涼鞋，嘰呢呱啦地說笑不停，頗為賞心悅目。店裡裝修新潮，大體上就是黑漆漆的，偶爾幾個龍形雕刻或雙喜擺設，再來數幅色彩豐富的懷舊香港掛畫，滿足了洋人對中國文化的好奇。震耳欲聾的外國音樂，令人昏昏欲睡的暗淡燈光，我自大學畢業後就不再蒲這種地方，轉眼間十年就過去了，難免感嘆青春一去不復返。雖說是中式餐館，頭盤卻先來份生牛肉他他，除了灑在牛肉上的炸蒜粒、及伴碟的兩片炸蝦片外，實在說不出哪兒有中菜特色。油甘魚生沙律是百分百的西菜，味道倒是不差。炒飯、炒雜菇，鑊氣欠奉，說不定是因為電磁爐的力度有限。春卷和餃子，吃下去就像美國唐人街小餐館的出品

本人一向都好少食FUSION菜,不過呢今次聽聞有間新開的中菜D口卑唔錯,所以決定一試!!今日搵左d中學同學去試一試有~等左一陣就有位 大約5分鐘到啦~我地一行4人坐就叫野食啦~叫左個炸雞翼,餃子,WAGYU SHORT RIBS ,清蒸軍曹魚 4樣野第一係炸雞翼配蝦三爸醤炸得唔錯唔會太乾,同理佢地個蝦三爸醤辣辣地又幾好食第二係餃子餃子賣相呢就一般但係有內涵喎!咬落去呢一d都唔實,菜同肉比較好好,唔會太多肉第三係WAGYU SHORT RIBS賣相好好!好大份 食落去唔會太乾 唔錯唔錯第三係清蒸軍曹魚+白飯呢個賣相一流 有d醃辣椒係上面但唔係太辣 有d家庭feel!!今次口利福之行唔錯~都夠飽 下次去再試下其他菜!

My friends and i were hanging around Soho, caving for some chinese food. When we walk up Elgin Street, the open kitchen and the wall of mahjong from them got our attention, i wonder how many sets they used on that wall. (lol)We went in around 6:45, got a table right away and there was a return time at 8:45, very reasonable timing for dinner just for 4. Once we set down, servers started approving us. Asking are we first time diners, explaining their best selling dishes, how they prepared they own

I work near this newly opened restaurant, and passing by all the time, I have been wanting to try it out. We went with a couple of girl friends on a Friday night, and although they were full when we arrived around 8pm, we only had to wait for a short while before they got us a table in the middle of the dining room.The atmosphere is quite trendy and dark. There is music playing and it's a buzzing restaurant. We were craving meat haha! And the servers recommended for us to try the bbq pork and th

大家好！隔咗一排冇寫食評，今次嚟到中環蘇豪區覓食，係出哂名嘅「鼎點1968」同平民麵檔「民園麵家」隔離，開左間中西合璧嘅中餐館，中文叫「口利福」，英文就玩英文粗口諧音"Ho Lee Fook"... 聽聞係同「住好啲」合作搞出嚟嘅「花臣」(fusion)中餐。係門口就見到開放式廚房，見到幾個廚師好忙碌咁不斷切菜，水吧就用上麻雀做裝飾，頗有心思。餐廳座位係地牢，燈光幽暗有啲入咗遊樂場鬼屋嘅感覺，配合唔知點解要咁大聲兼強勁節拍嘅音樂，我同男朋友要求坐到一個比較寧靜嘅角落（只係相對上）。打開餐牌，都只有英文，款色不多只有大概16/7樣菜色。我地因為唔係太肚餓所以只點咗「怪味雞」同「辣魷魚」，同叫侍應俾兩杯冰水...埋單$266總結：+ 食物味道唔錯，定價可以接受，音樂過份嘈吵X 清水同服務費佔咗$62，係隔離民園或鼎點足夠食一餐。
