Granville Island Hong Kong (已結業)

自港鐵開始興建西環線, 西營盤立即變天, 不斷有特色食店開業, 今天目的地是高街, 此街差不多全都是特色餐廳. 坐港鐵到西營盤商街, 看地圖, B2出口(第二街)較為近, 但要向上行, 另一C出口(般咸道)較遠, 但向下走, 雖然可行過隔離街用扶手電梯, 但寧可揀遠一點的C出口, 向下走, 舒服很多. 看見店名是"Granville Island", 估計老闆應該是加拿大人, 至於是否住在溫哥華? 不得宜知, 但肯定對於距市中心不到十分鐘的Granville Island有十分濃厚的感情. 位於溫哥華市南的小島Granville Island, 單是環島行, 只需二十分鐘, 但如果想觀光島上事物, 可以行大半天也不覺悶, 尤其是如果你喜歡街頭藝術和市井的街市風味, 絕對可以消磨一整天, 那兒的 Public Market, 有新鮮蔬菜、生果、鮮魚、三文魚乾、各式肉類和糕點, 就連溫哥華最出名的意大利火腿店"Oyama Sausage"也設有櫃位. 到處行行, 優閒地在咖啡店歎杯下午茶, 一天時間, 轉眼間很快便過.店內一排木櫃, 放了各式各樣的handcraft beer (手工啤酒)

西Soho中近來開了不少新的食肆，收工後與一大班朋友去了酒吧， 此酒吧都充滿美式酒吧的感覺，都是走向休閒的路線，天花懸掛幾盞鎢絲吊燈、木製的枱櫈、牆身的車牌、舊式電話去佈置整個酒吧，加上柔和的燈光、播放了輕快的英文歌曲等......感覺總是讓人感到好輕鬆，令人猶如置身美國酒吧一樣，裝修環境讓我眼前一亮。  休閒之中舉杯暢飲更是一件人生一大樂事，酒吧中的木櫃中更放置了不少各地的手工啤酒，都有60幾款，真是了不起，酒吧中有供應六款draft beer ，可以點個beer platter 由淡味至濃味慢慢飲，當中包括有果味較濃的清啤、大麥手工啤、有咖啡味及朱古力味的黑啤等......飲得盡慶讓熱愛各地啤酒的啤酒迷大飽口福。我友人都叫了幾個platter暢飲一番...... 炸甘薯薯條($78)----它是厚身美國甜蕃薯薯條，食落特別有口感又香脆，即炸熱辣辣，炸得金黃脆身，內餡的甘薯質感軟糯，味道甘甜美味，再灑了少許鹽，更添點鹹香，甘薯也不比薯仔遜色，真是感到幾意外，佐酒更一流。 凱撒沙律($98)----在這個炎夏之中，嘗到健康新鮮的沙律菜滋味，羅馬菜拌著滿溢的滋味的凱撒沙律汁及

今晚是我們大學的同學聚會，呀文說帶我們去一間神秘的啤酒王國餐廳，他說這一間餐廳我們六戰士一定超喜歡，呀文是我們的活躍份子，也是保險界的分區經理，所以他常常都和不同客人飲飲食食談保單，所以他每一個地區也認識不同的特色餐廳!今次他安排我們到西營盤高街一區的餐廳聚舊，一間他常到的特色餐廳Granville Island, 馬田，艾域，莊思，呀文一早己到了，我和平平因0T關係遲了十分鍾! 這間 Granville門口有一個很大的酒桶，入去兩旁都放着五顏六色的小啤酒，很是好看!文哥和馬田己說叫了很多特別的東西讓我們分享，真好，今晚有四大帥哥和兩個大胃妹，我們可以吃很更西!首先來的是Beer Platter，是四杯淺色的啤酒和一杯深色的啤色，是這間酒巴的特色!靚仔老闆介紹應由清淡的啤酒慢慢嘗到最深，是定期精選的五種不同口感手工啤，感覺真的蠻特別!  我和平平最愛American Dream because the smelling so Good !炸甘薯薯條，熱辣辣送上，艾域不均歡呼，他說和平日的薯條這不一樣，原來用上美國蕃薯，天然鮮甜，口感一流!  最好是和啤酒相伴，傾傾談談，感覺真的很輕鬆!

在Blue Monday的第二天，心情十分平穩，因為「只要再過多四天就有假期了」，每個星期二都抱著同一個心態上班，人就自然有動力啦~(雖然這未必奏效，因為工作十分繁重，總算是點點安慰罷了=3=)...但不打緊，下班以後相約一班好友放鬆一下就是最開心的事啦~今次來到位於西營盤的Granville Island，這是....因為好友在這邊上班，說一直都很想試試這家餐廳。反正對於愛吃之人來說：「吃到好吃的，哪管餐廳在西環還是荃灣」。那就應她的意思來到這裡啦~剛坐低就被牆上的啤酒所吸引住，一排又一排的整齊排列著，而且很多都是市面上沒有的。這是因為這家餐廳的老闆本來就是愛酒之人，所以從世界各地引入不同的酒品~ (好奇的我又走去跟餐廳老闆聊東聊西的....好友們好像都已經見怪不怪了=3=)還有這放得高高的酒品~也是十分吸引眼球的啦~!!炸甘薯薯條 ($78)甘薯薯條很厚很大條，端上台面時還熱熱的，入口時外層十分香脆，而且炸至表面十分乾身，丁點油膩感也沒有，而且口感很豐富的，甜甜的，即使不用加上任何醬料也很好吃~用作佐酒小食真一流~!!卡真牛油煎嫩蝦 ($148)先要說說拌碟的那塊麵包，十分香脆，放

We went to this restauraunt after finding that other restaurants were full and deciding to try something new for once. Upon arriving, we were quickly seated and the well-designed menus were brought to us. As I looked through the menu, I chose my favourite dishes: calamari, steak and clam chowder. The calamari was served first, with just the right amount of sauce and not unnecessarily deep-fried like so many other calamaris I have come across are. The clam chowder tasted a bit weird, although the

Went there tonight for the 1st time to celebrate a few birthdays and I was pleasantly surprised at how cosy but comfortable the atmosphere was.  There was already a few parties going on, but when we got seated, we were quickly served.  The chap at the bar was extremely helpful with helping a few (indecisive) girls choose from their generous option of interesting alcoholic drinks and the waiter also took the time explaining to us the different types of home grown beers they have which i have neve

High Street has lots of new places as Sai Ying Pun is gentrifying in advance of the MTRpocalypse. Gentrifying can be good (for people who are wealthy enough to withstand it)-- a wider variety of restaurants for instance. But it can also mean that good, cheap local places are replaced with overpriced, terrible places. Like Jaspas. So I went to GI, but I went there with an appropriate amount of trepidation.We started with the calamari. They were nicely hot and crisp, and in really big pieces. The

We were just walking down High st. looking for a place to eat after 10PM, and to our dismay most of the places we wanted to go to were closed so we just went into the first place we could find open.  We had walked by Granville many times but it only just opened and the staff were friendly and welcoming (and they were open until 11!) so we just tried it. Totally did not expect how DELICIOUS the food would be!  The menu is quite big and has a mix of American comfort food and standard continental (
