Benson Cuisine & Wine (已結業)

之前久唔久都去beson食，今次去佐，發現食物質素下降好多，好失望。點佐一個餐湯，好酸。一個沙津，感覺好奇怪，好似唔太新鮮，一個意粉送到桌上，味道怪怪， 軟嗒嗒，芝士味很淡，而且整體味道過鹹。好難食。整體而言，食物其實一般, 服務都無乜特別,以後唔會再幫襯。

香港食肆林立，要决定去那𥚃吃饭有時都幾頭疼。今天充選咗一家小店吃西餐。點上了：1. 煙雞肉火龍果沙律配蘋果醋汁：好少沙律有火龍果，配上後囗感為之一振。因為佢嘅汁和甜味，軟軟肉質，㚒住沙律菜的爽脆，一口吃下變得有層次感。2. 香煎鱼柳配蕃茄濃汁：用的是盲鰽，老闆娘說是原條自己起肉，好新鮮。魚皮煎香，魚肉嫩滑，帶點咸香，配上只是微酸蕃咖汁和薯蓉，带出青爽口感。3. 朱古力曲奇芝士蛋糕：濃濃朱古力和芝士味撞出奇效，好有新鲜感！最后配上一杯香濃咖啡，完美结局。

I called ahead the same day to make a booking and specifically asked if they have hairy crab roe. They said yes without hesitation. When we got there and sat down they told us actually they've run out of it. We were astonished since we went all the way there only to be told they don't even have it. If it's something they're going to run out of quickly they could have told us when we booked and asked us if we wanted to reserve it or something. Duping customers to show up for something you can't d

久唔久都會唻Benson食晏，感覺整體食物質素中規中矩，但時刻保持一貫水準。$158/set lunch一般為三選一，扒，煎魚，雞卷或意粉麵等.... 配以沙律或餐湯，麵包，甜品或餐飲，如餐飲甜品等等樣樣都要就要再另加錢$20。扒類：中規中矩，唔係特別出色，肉質一般，有肉味，冇根，配汁亦係一般燒汁之類，份量則足夠。煎魚類：魚扒不時會轉種類，煎魚較為出色，外脆內軟，肉質軟滑。配菜南瓜薯蓉尤其好味！雞卷：內卷有菇，南瓜等，外皮煎得金香，肉質軟滑，好味！特別推介餐前麵包，夠熱夠香脆，尤其個芝士包，好味！餐飲絕對要試試佢哋嘅熱咖啡，質地夠厚，味夠香濃，讚！甜品：分別試過芝士蛋糕及薑味蛋糕，一般蛋糕水準，冇咩特別，但味道都ok。整體而言，食物水準中規中矩，稱唔上係咩法國菜，一般西餐還可，價錢中中上，閒唻一試無妨。

預祝朋友生日，專登上Openrice 搜尋一下第二區的食店。既然大家都想食蠔，又search到呢間，於是專誠過海來試下。怕晚飯時間要等位，於是預早訂了枱。7點15分來到，連我們四人，餐廳都算座無虛席了。先睇Oyster menu, order了White Pearl 及Regal各4隻。平均$60一隻蠔，正常size同埋新鮮程度，以該地段的餐廳可能算是合理價錢吧。 Appetizer揀左個黑毛豬火腿腸拼盤, 份量足夠我們四個女仔，始終比較鹹， 每人淺嚐幾片就夠啦。Main course 時先係戲玉，兩碟都好精緻：分別叫左波士頓龍蝦蕃茄天使麵及牛肝菌意大利飯。食晒嘢之後, 侍應馬上遞甜品menu 埋黎。得7, 8 款而且大家都覺得該價錢一d都唔值, 於是繼續坐晌到傾計。此時就遞上一碟好似Chip Ahoy的曲奇餅仔, 應該在示意我們要埋單了吧。 

XO好少入跑馬地，因為覺得區內乜野都貴過人，而且交通都幾擠塞下，今次應邀黎真係好比面架。一入左跑馬地，無論係搭巴士，小巴，又或者電車，唔洗行五分鐘就會到Benson。成和道地舖，落地玻璃，有地址一D都唔難搵。餐廳地方唔大，不過勝在樓面高，間隔整齊，光線充足，哥哥仔們態度溫文友善。　麵包籃：芝麻包夠熱夠腍，早到o既小肥好快就靜靜雞食左兩個。　Set Lunch（$129）餐湯之南瓜忌廉湯：唔知係咪潮流興食南瓜呢，定係萬聖節用剩左好多南瓜蓉，連忌廉湯都用南瓜黎造？！聽落個配搭幾健康，飲落味道甜甜地，又唔會溜，小肥鍾意！　Set Lunch主菜之Wild Mushroom Risotto with Boiled Egg：相反，Risotto就唔夠熱啦，味道雖然帶少少酸，不過都重係好溜。成碟最好食反而係隻流心蛋，夠哂滑溜。　Hairy Crab Angel Hair（$420）：淨睇鮮艷o既賣相都已經知好掂，媽咪同姨媽果然冇介紹錯！大閘蟹熱辣辣，香噴噴，蟹肉蟹膏濕潤鮮甜，配上幼嫩彈牙o既天使麵，搞到XO仔又要學爸爸唱歌添：「哈哈，我要飛上天上，哈哈！」認真唔講得笑，食到咁上吓，小肥都要加返少少

已經很久未有到跑馬地了.今日難得來食番個 lunch.餐廳地方雖然細小,但並不算迫. 可能樓底夠高吧. 店裏還放了兩隻黑毛豬火腿, 有興趣只需放下去七張金牛便可抬走一隻Lunch set 收費不高 ($129-$149.-).餐湯轉龍蝦湯(+$40.-). 味道不錯湯算是合格,但只有一小塊蝦肉唔抵轉 風乾腸沙拉煎焗"魚立"魚. 魚味一般但味道OK西冷牛排:甜品:甜品:

好耐無去跑馬地食嘢, 呢日入咗嚟 lunch.麵包又熱又脆, 牛油就好唔掂.Onion soup 味唔算濃但竟太鹹; 旁邊仲有塊得啖笑的芝士多士.Squid ink spaghetti with octopus in tomato sauce: 只有「好酸」二字的回憶, 真係酸到呢...Sirloin 叫 medium rare, 都做到, 算係咁.埋單每人約 $142, 唔貴, 一試無妨.更多相片及分享 @ http://locusttunghok.blogspot.com/2011/04/benson-cuisine-wine.html

Autumn... hairy crab season! My first taste of the crustacean this year since I discount the negligible morsel in my xiao long bao. First taste and no messy peeling necessary. Benson does a Shanghai Hairy Crab Set Menu this season where it's not quite the traditional way of eating Hairy Crab but uses the crustacean as a basis for a Modern European meal with Italian influences to create a pretty decent dinner.At HK$680 per person, it's pretty good value since there are quite a few courses, an

星期日睇完名人廚房播呢間餐廳d野食,好似幾好咁,於是就揸車入跑馬地試下同老公兩個人食,叫左d生蠔,一個龍蝦天使麵,同埋西班牙黑毛豬扒,其他唔記得電視介紹既都叫晒黎食,果然冇呃人,真係非常之好,生蠔夠生鮮,個waiter話日日都會返貨,唔知真定假,但係我同老公食果d都好好味,,,名就唔記得啦,都係個waiter介紹俾我地,其中一隻好似係come form愛爾蘭個龍蝦天使麵都好正,d pasta煮得岩岩好,蕃茄汁底,同埋隻龍蝦好夾,我同老公都食得好滋味,個waiter幫我地拎走埋個殼,又分兩碟俾我地,夠細心西班牙黑毛豬扒出黎果時一切落去,,見紅紅地唔係好熟,個waiter聽倒我同老公講,就埋黎解釋俾我地聽,原來7-8成熟係佢地standard做法,咁樣會juice d同埋冇咁'鞋'口,食落真係幾好味,但係就少左d汁,如果可以多d就更加好啦!!最後,甜品食左個心太軟,,,個waiter話佢地疏乎厘同心太軟整得好,就試左,,出黎賣相好精緻,有個雪糕伴住,個waiter話mix埋一齊好好食,,,試下真係幾好!野食真係唔錯,裝修就一般啦,冇想像中咁大,,,細細間座20個人左右,天花板有塊好似銅咁既

Benson was and still is, in the wholesale business, bringing in quality produce and wines. I don't know this for a fact but believe that the restaurant started a few years so they can showcase their quality inventory as well as perhaps manage the whole chain a lot better. The restaurant is not what you would expect a place serving very decent food to look like - on the contrary, it is exactly like walking into your friend's dining room, casual and cozy. Sometimes they even draw the curtains f

Went there last week and had one of the nicest spring chicken ever! Expensive but worthwhile for intimate gatherings or dinners. Service can be improved though.

琴日三個人黎食lunch. 係一間法國餐廳. dinner set 要$200-300. 係門口見到set lunch $88,有appetizer or soup,main course, dessert or coffee/tea. appetizer 有鵝肝鴨胸沙律, 都幾吸引,所以就入去. 坐低之後,個老闆娘就話"鵝肝鴨胸沙律"賣哂,轉左caesar salad. 心諗:"嘩...... 都差好遠喎...." 不過佢話個caesar salad 都好味. 咁我地三個就叫左salad. 我同阿哥既女朋友要煎"魚立"魚配芒果忌廉汁,阿哥要煎西冷牛扒芝士汁,依個set 要$198, 有埋dessert 同coffee/tea. 首先上包, 我知d包係o係對面間bakery 買既, 因為我上次黎食lunch見過個waiter走去對面買左條法包過黎. 不過個間d包都唔錯,而且佢有烘熱俾我地. 到上個caesar salad... 嘩....得幾塊細細既romaine lettuce + breadcrumbs + bacon bits. 雖然我知正宗西餐/法餐每個course d份量
