set lunch還不錯
2018-12-03 2122 瀏覽
位於大館裡，來和朋友吃午餐，原來以為會有dim sum，沒想到是以正常炒菜為主。非常喜歡它的Free flow vcp，250一位感覺價格很合理，我看很多桌都有點，果斷點了這個free flow。午市set lunch有兩個選擇，我選了premium的set lunch。點心拼盤有三道點心，造型味道都不錯，黑椒和牛酥很有特色，讓我記憶猶新。第二個是炒星班球，感覺上菜速度有點快，一道菜剛剛吃完第二道就來了。第三道香辣汁燒和牛肋，味道不錯，和牛軟嫩但不油膩。吃到這裡的時候其實我已經喝多了。姜汁時蔬，後面是海皇海膽炒飯，海膽微微過油，有一點點焦香，很不錯。甜點是deepfried chocolate hazelnut ball，很不錯。 整體感覺性價比不錯，分量也恰到好處，味道好吃，有一兩道居然讓我感到驚喜。為了250的freeflow也會回來吃。

    中環多左新境點-大館，我唔係遊客，當然無第一時間去行過。多得朋友帶我呢的鄉下妹去試下先第一黎，一入到大館，感覺好似去到1881咁，原來大家前身都係差館。呢度都幾多餐廳，今晚就book左呢間試下，叫做中文圖書館，但門外就係全部係外國人，餐廳入面好有電影場景咁，勁靚！餐牌內的選擇唔算太多，放心，食中菜有中文字餐牌😆，價錢都算中上。落完單，就會上呢2碟涼菜，一個似係芥末菜頭，呢一個似係酸梅車厘茄，2碟都覺得好有心，唔hea！呢個夠晒鑊氣，有4件，煮到岩岩好，唔會係全熟，而風沙食落有少少似避風唐風味咁！係呢3d餐廳食碟實勁唔抵架啦，但呢個芥蘭佢幫去左個皮，得番最幼既芯，又無葉，仲用石鍋熱住上，我就覺得好好食啦！呢個飯上菜時會問你洗唔洗分，懶人就當然最好食殘廢餐😆，請佢放底俾我影張相，就麻煩幫我地分2碗，你無聽錯，真係分得2碗😅，分量係少d，但有時細碟有細碟好。味道當然唔錯啦，濃味少少，可能只係我自己近來食得清淡。可以睇到靚仔侍應好優美咁幫我地分，幻想下換轉同樣事情，係普通酒樓...都係呢度好睇好多😂！咁靚既環境，食一次就夠，成間餐廳感覺去左外國既中餐廳，少少呃鬼佬咁，但野食同服務唔錯，我只飲熱

    咁靚既環境，食一次就夠，成間餐廳感覺去左外國既中餐廳，少少呃鬼佬咁，但野食同服務唔錯，我只飲熱水，食飯中途都不停有幫我加水。
    餐廳裝修都幾浪漫，我承認我老土，如果係食西餐，更有feel，可能係習慣食中餐既地方都係好光猛。

      Located on the second floor of Tai Kwun’s Police Headquarters Block, the rectangular dining room is beautifully decorated and offers nice ambience. I love the high ceiling and the backlit jade marble wall.

      Highlight of the evening for me was the roast pork loin w manuka honey sauce (good balance of meat and fat) and the thousand cut silken tofu chicken broth (clear soup was simply light and delicious). The knife skill was exceptional ....

      The deep fried aubergine w Sakura shrimp and green beans was tasty inside and outside!

      The duck was average and I found the pancake way too thick. It should be thin and light. They need to consider sourcing differently.

      Service was at best average. They were understaffed so no one had time to refill wine and champagne.

      Quick Squiz: 
       
      Visited for a weekday lunch on recommendation of a friend who visited earlier. Impressive entrance and front desk service, welcoming bar staff as we walked past, exciting (and delicious) menu. Staff were still "running-in" with some unfamiliarity with menu and service protocol, but perhaps holding it back the most would be its price.

      More about the restaurant: 

      Set in the newly opened Tai Kwun in Central, its address on the first floor of the former Police Headquarters instantly gives the place a special aura (I take issue with the official address on their name card reading "Police Headquarters". Either Tai Kwun needs to change the official name or Chinese Library needs to change theirs). Signage to the restaurant was lacking probably because it's still so new (it is not listed under restaurants at the Tai Kwun physical directory). Staff at the entrance (door, if you may, as it was an impressively imposing one) greeted us with confidence and offered to keep our umbrellas. Walking through the bar area to the restaurant involved being greeted with multiple friendly smiles and welcomes. Very inviting. 

      The dining hall had an aura on entering, with furniture colour not unlike my cup of cappuccino. Perhaps the table right at the entrance was a little too close and open to everyone walking past though (still remember the two ladies looking up at us - and perhaps every other table of guests - entering the restaurant). Anyway, I digress. 

      As a party of four, we were seated at one of their half-moon bench tables. Cushions rightfully plush with appropriate depth and height. Tableware design is welcomingly minimalistic with two sets of chopsticks per person. Table was a little small to fit a lot on it, but their staff kept tabs of our progress so the food wouldn't pile on at once. Admirably done.

      On to the food - we were provided with multiple versions of menus (too many - really) - a standard a la carte menu, a dim sum menu and a lunch menu (which includes a selection of a la carte and dim sum menu items). We ordered from the a la carte menu and dim sum menu as they provided better choice. If I recall correctly, there were two lunch sets available, with one being at around HK$380 (same price as our a la carte). The lunch menu was otherwise too basic to provide real selection or to really appreciate their offerings. 

      We ordered the following (unfortunately forgot to take a few photos):


      Chrysanthemum "thousand cut" silken tofu in chicken broth ($108 pp)  

      Garoupa fillet with spring onion and ginger Cheung Fun Rice Rolls ($118) 

      Taro puff with aubergine and salted fish ($58) 

      Hokkaido king crab & sea urchin spring rolls ($118) 

      Poached Chinese loofah & matsutake mushrooms ($148) 

      Sweet & sour Iberico pork with dragon fruit & caramelised cashews ($208)  

      Golden seafood fried rice & salted duck yolk ($188) 

      Foie gras & wagyu beef stone pot fried rice ($235)
      Jasmine tea ($48 per pot)


      It was welcoming there were not other add-ons you'd often get at Chinese restaurants (e.g. "peanuts" appetisers).

      Chrysanthemum "thousand cut" silken tofu in chicken broth - stunning to look at and just as great in taste. Only gripe is the shape of the bowl made it hard to finish the last sip of the soup and to scoop up the last bits of tofu.

      Hokkaido king crab & sea urchin spring rolls - a unique take on the good old spring roll. This was probably my favourite of all dishes - filled with crab meat and a refreshing sea urchin on top. With dishes like this, there is sometimes the dreaded contrast in temperature between cool filling (or topping) and hot pastry. No issues with this one. Nor did it feel oily at all.

      The Garoupa Cheung Fun was certainly a unique take on this Cantonese classic. Large thick pieces of fish wrapped in an overall well-made Cheung Fun. Two quintessential cantonese offerings (steamed fish and cheung fun) fused into one. Perfect. Two birds with one stone? 

      Taro balls were also delish! The taste of aubergine (aka eggplant) in the taro puff went well with only the slightest hint of salted fish (which is great, in my books, as salted fish could easily overwhelm other flavours). Again, didn't feel oily at all.

      Sweet and sour pork is a staple of my Chinese cuisine - have always liked the general flavour. This one had a very controlled flavouring - one which does not scream acidic (vinegar) nor overly sweet (or sticky). The meat was on the lean side with a bit more bite than your usual offering, which I relate to the Iberico pork. Might I suggest a few more dragonfruit "flowers" to carry its name? Portion of the meat was generous and something I would be keen to order again.

       This is the foie gras and wagyu beef fried rice. As with the other fried rice we ordered, portions equate to four of these small bowls - on the small side really (I'd have expected the equivalent of five as a standard portion). Flavour was great though, with the Golden seafood fried rice & salted duck yolk being the universal favourite. 

      It was evident throughout the meal they were striving for five star service (which one would expect given the price) - wait staff kept control of the tea pot and refilled our cups whenever appropriate. My cup was empty for a good 10 minutes toward end of meal though, and the restaurant was far from busy, so it would be interesting to see if they would keep up  when there is a full house (which I understand there has been, in the evenings). They should also check on the tea pots as tea always leaked onto the table when the staff were pouring (kudos that they came back to wipe the table dry after). Staff were polite, willing to help and visibly careful in what they were doing. As mentioned above, they kept great tab of our dining progress to keep the food coming at good intervals. However, if it was not because it is still 'new', I would have given this 3 stars for the above handful of things which I would not otherwise expect at this price point. Hygiene was generally good except for a plate I received with water marks (you could see it in the photo above). 

      Overall, it was a positive experience, with quite a number of items on the menu I would definitely and unreservedly recommend. Seating was comfortable and the ambiance suitable for the food. Air conditioning was weak (to the extent I felt there was none towards the end of meal). But the greatest disconnect would be its price (especially taking into account its location, for a weekday lunch) and service (which needs warming up).  Cheaper and more convenient alternatives could be had for a similar price and impression in central Central (Clipper Lounge would be cheaper and Cafe Causette would be similar).
