La Kasbah (已結業)

從未涉足非洲或中東餐館的我，多得對飲食有點要求的中學同學推介，來到比較不就腳的阿畢諾道吃北非菜。一向喜歡尋覓美食的我，又怎會介意嚐新呢？友人甫坐下便說要"揀支靚酒"，正好配合這裏讓人感覺輕鬆自在而又充滿異國風情的環境。難得完成一星期忙碌的工作，加上餐廳氣氛很有情調，當然要邊摸酒杯底邊聊個痛快吧﹗友人選了紅白酒二合為一的2013年產法國玫瑰酒。我笑說那豈不是老外鴛鴦嗎？色澤帶紛紅的Rose wine不但顏色很吸引，味道同時集合了白酒的清新果香和紅酒的馥郁香甜，由於酒精濃度不高，很適合酒量淺的年輕女生，也令我這個一向喜歡粉色的熟女一見鍾情。似乎是埃及裔(未經證實的個人揣測)的老板英語頗流利，態度親切友善，他給我們推介了一兩款小吃。包括小吃拼盤和新鮮無花果。原來北非菜十分健康，除了因為主要用檻欖油烹調外，也經常用上蛋白質豐富而又能減低膽固醇的各式豆類作食材。小食拼盤有兩款分別以小扁豆和雞心豆磨成如膏狀的豆蓉，以附上的pita bread醮來吃，既營養豐富也健康，豆蓉以香料和檻欖油調味，質感軟而滑得像溶掉的牛油。友人著我以當地人的地道吃法，先撕下一小塊飽，再沾點豆蓉吃。至於拼盤的羊肉角和芝士卷

I'm afraid this place has reached it's low peakby now.low mergueze sausage quality (fatty with low spice content) Side Salad, with too much oilGrape leaf rice, way too mushi.It's a pity as Kashba was a place we enjoyed going for its authentic food.

早前甜魔媽媽有幸出席了Nespresso新出口味Bukeela ka Ethiopia的活動，晚餐選址中環半山區、主打非洲菜的Kasbah，餐廳無論是環境與食物都饒富風情，令媽媽更加充份感受到那份來自非洲大地的獨有魅力，以及無盡活力生命力!這間北非餐廳，店內無論是吊燈、壁畫還是其他佈置，都洋溢一種濃濃的大地風情，非常切合新出的Bukeela ka Ethiopia咖啡主題。是晚甜魔媽媽帶了妹妹同行，抵達之時正好有現場非洲鼓的演出，不過小人兒不但一點沒給鼓聲嚇倒，反而還十分投入享受現場的熱熾氣氛呢! 以及後來，表現者也邀請大家一起出來打鼓、跳舞，全部人都玩得很高興，場內氣氛既歡樂又熱鬧! 當晚除了節奏強勁又明快的音樂，以及自由又奔放的舞蹈，大家也享用了帶有濃濃北非風味的菜餚。估不到前菜是爆谷呢，不過成品口感香脆，又帶點近似焦糖的咸甜交錯，很討好，的確與輕鬆的環境十分相襯。接著是一系列的Selection of Mezze (頭盤)，喜歡這裡不是fine-dining的每位奉上食物，而是大盤食物放上檯，大家想吃就自己動手，一切來得十分輕鬆隨意，並且特別有種派對式的聚餐溫暖感~ 先來的Fre

非洲, 對我來講是一個很陌生的地方. 當然, 不是沒有踏足過這遍土地, 但最深刻的, 還是杜奧巴, 艾辛或者金字塔. 非洲菜更是完全不懂的項目, 所以是晚Nespresso的活動在Kasbah舉行, 也是個好機會讓我重新接觸這個範疇.是晚主要的任務當然是試飲Nespresso的全新咖啡口味 Bukeela ka Ethiopia, 這款採用了埃塞俄比亞的Arabica咖啡豆混合而成的頂級品咖啡. 喝完帶有非洲色彩的咖啡之後, 就是吃北非菜的時間, 先要在此謝意公關朋友的邀請及安排.Kasbah位處中環亞畢諾道, 由地鐵站走上來也要超過十分鐘. 店子的裝修很有格調, 燈光昏暗, 加上是晚有現場音樂及舞蹈表演, 氣氛實在是一流的. 看回食評, 才得知這裡已經在中環多年了, 看來水準是有保證的.Zaalouk, eggplant puree with cayenne pepper and harissa: 7分, 先來幾款Selection of Mezze, 前菜是也. Zaalouk是茄子蓉沙律, 加上cayenne pepper以及harissa辣醬, 味道帶點點香辣, 幾醒胃的.Ho

Kasbah is one of my top rated restaurants, because they do not just make great food, they serve authentic shisha with great wine. More importantly, you will fall in love with its Grand Bazaar (Istanbul) style décor and the lovely sofa seats are just so comfortable that make you want to stay forever.Cuisine: MoroccanFood rating: 6/10*Service: 4/10Ambiance: 8/10Price: HK$300pax* Food Rating: 6/10 is equivalent to 1 Michelin star, 8/10 to two Michelin stars, and 9/10 or above to three Michelin star

回港後都沒吃中東菜, 應該都已超過一千零一夜了吧. 這晚有興致再回味, 是因朋友幾乎沒吃過, 我們就到此摩洛哥餐廳. 餐廳裡的裝潢都帶點摩洛哥風情, 雖然我曾見過更有特色的中東燈飾.坐下後, 侍者先送上一小碟鹹黑橄欖, 是一般中東餐廳亦會提供的餐前小食, 味道是真的很鹹. 因為我只愛吃微鹹的鮮橄欖, 所以沒多吃. 侍者亦替我們盛水, 水裡的薄荷葉沒被搗爛, 因此喝時我只嚐到一股菜青味. 前菜我們要了的Messe, 貪其本身已經是兩人份量. 這拼盤有五款小吃, 若依我的照片來講的話, 左上的是hummus, 右上是如春卷的cigars, 中間是mechouia, 左下是貌似咖哩角的boureck, 右下是zaalouk. 另外奉送兩片moroccan bread.Hummus是帶芝麻香的chickpeas蓉, 這裡的不夠芝麻香, 但勝在豆香搭夠, 塗上飽吃是不錯的, Cigars就是有碎薄荷葉的feta cheese捲進filo pastry後再炸的, 老實說有種吃春卷的錯覺. 裡面的 feta cheese 的芝士味不算重, 是我這不愛芝士的人也接受得到的. Mechouia理應是烤雜

Environment is very nice, well decorated with Arabic elements. Rare to have Moroccan restaurant / bar in HK. Food only so so.. not very authentic authentic, but will pass. Appetizers are good (hummus and various dips), but main course is only average e.g. tagines, cous cous.. not very tasty.. Can smoke Shisha with mint tea!

Kasbah in its new location is as good as ever, which a more spacious dinning and drinking area.This time I tried the tuna pastry which was nicely done! But the shisha seems slightly tasteless this time.....Excellent atmosphere, excellent place to chill out...

We 7 food hunters (cora, janice, iris, edward, flora n kev) set off again this time to a moroccan restaurant for cora's bday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORA, HAPPY AS EVER!!) The place is nicely decorated with arabic lanterns and proverbs painted on walls, only open for a few hours from 1830 to 2330, the reservation's already full and the place is soon patronized by regulars.The dinner was kicked off with dippings, Zaalouk (the one with aubergine puree) and hommos, taken with the warm tender pita bread. Th

落黎之前先係樓上Happy Hour 同歎水煙, 仲叫左杯牙膏味既薄荷茶飲; 齊人後就落去吃飯!叫左勁多碟野, 拼盤同其他烤肉等都好吃, 幾條友嘻嘻哈哈左成晚, 攪到隔離檯仲以為我地係明星, 只怪環境唔錯啦! 而且侍女們好好招呼, 仲stop我地唔好再叫多d野食, 話我地夠食, 幾好!呢度都拍得住Habibi, 我認為啦!

Went here 3 times, all very good. One time my friend was hosting her bride shower dinner, so, we were able to taste many different dishes from the menu. A vast a-la-carte menu, fabulous well spiced food, accompany with authentically different Arabic music and unique and stylish Arabic decor. Pefect with a cup of sweet mint tea after meal. It was simply an ultimate sensational dining experience. Dishes are cooked and served in traditional African clay cooking pot called Tagine. The assorted appet

上次o黎焗到差d暈, 今次好好多喇~走到咁上, 緊係想舒服d有位坐o下, 唔好企一晚, 但依度都係太逼, 坐得唔舒服~

20040916 10pm大班朋友飲o野局, 10人.飲o左一round (我要cosmopolitan), 同埋叫o左兩壺水煙. (未夠18歲o既小朋友唔好試啊~)水煙幾有趣, 生果味濃, 一個係士多啤梨味, 一個係蘋果味, 我personally 鍾意蘋果味多o的.

呢間嘢只開夜晚，嘢又貴，咁耐都未試過個人本身對印度、非洲菜就無咩好感，但呢輪食得多意大利嘢，所以今晚轉下，走咗去試下叫咗個moroccan bread，但唔知點解無計錢，都唔錯，夠熱夠鮮有口感有個paella之類既($165)，比預期中好，料幾鮮，味都可以本來都幾飽，但都試埋甜品($52)，叫咗個咩：phyllo banana flambe...(貪佢好似特式啲)，用tagine(燒到熨既casserole之類)上，淋上佢話叫figs既spirit(乜唔係解「無花果」咩?!)，呢個真係好「玩」唔好食，火燒既時候，仲犀利個russian strognoff果種程度，但味道麻麻，係個dressing幾特別：orange peel、cream之類，但最差係佢個燒焗完既tagine本身發出好大陣「燒燶鑊」、「燒塑膠」味！佢依度啲plain water加咗幾濃既mint味呢度既北非裝修古古怪怪，因為無乜客，所以坐得都ok都係果句，食呢類嘢，都係貪得意啫

最近同一個鬼佬試食La kasbah，這是一間北非（摩洛哥）餐廳，主要食裝修和環境，好有氣氛，品嚐了些紅酒、肉腸和雞胸，結賬近８００元，食物都算ｏｋ。我是看了「飲食男女」雜誌，特別去試試，有興趣的朋友，可以上網睇。
