The News Room Diner (已結業)

The first time having lunch at The News Room. No need to queue up for table. Only the pretty waitress at the door is smart, but those serving us aren't.Environment is poor with table too close and it was extremely noisy environment for lunch, considering the price/positioning of this restaurant, just like a Cafe De Coral. You would not stay there for long time.The food quality is general or below average, soup is tasteless, beef is overcooked. Only the dessert is fine.At this price level $180 pe

Craving for pancakes lately and there isn't many good Western places near my house, so The News Room is it.Ordered a fresh grapefruit juice to wake myself out. Sour to the max! Good for digestion though. The got myself a Blueberry Pancake with Bacon. At first i thought where were my blueberries! Thought they forgot, but the berries are actually cooked inside the pancake.The taste is overall ok. Not as greasy and big as the American ones (say goodbye to 'health'!). Still, it's pretty good since i

First of all, let me remind all of you that it is hard to get a table at lunch here during the weekdays without calling in to make a reservation at least 2 days ahead of time. If you are unable to get a reservation, you can try your luck and get a table by the bar, which is still quite enjoyable as you get to people-watch and eat at the same time! Customers have the option of choosing the 3-course set lunch option ($165) or ordering from the a-la-carte lunch menu. I decided to try the lunch opti

After a whole half day busy schedules, time to have yoga glass to stretch a bit before going back to work. Thinking to try the lunch here but after reviewing the negative comments from other members, feel a bit hesitate to take the risk. Instead, choosing a non-peak hours to enjoy a glass of wine and snack.At around 4:30pm, there were only 2 Westerners enjoying their early happy hour, another sitting outside, I was the 4th. There are indoors seating area but rather dim, sitting by the entrance s

筆者是條徹頭徹尾的大懶蟲，以吃喝玩樂為終生目標，吃下午茶也是開心的因由。今次，來到太古坊對出的The News Room，與朋友喝點東西，談談未來的玩樂大計。餐廳外邊是酒吧，裡頭便是用餐區，下午茶時間來吃少許東西的，就是坐外面了。四周圍瞄下，除了傳統的酒吧位外，更設有自助買酒機，愛紅愛白的，自己動手便可以。由於晚上另有飯局，不能食太多，點了客Sharing Platter，朋友多吃一點，我食小小便可以。其實，Sharing Platter的份量可不小的，有大蝦、蜆、炸魚條、煙三文魚同埋蟹餅，聽落都覺得豐富。既然如此豐盛，逐一介紹下食物吧。先吃的是炸魚條，熱得燙口又燙手的，咬落香脆，裡頭唔會硬，亦絕不是一陣雪味的，很好吃。而沾上Mayonnaise，就更加開胃。三文魚也是挺新鮮，還有著煙燻的味道，個人是滿意的；蟹餅同樣是夠晒香口，又頗厚身，裡面的蟹肉絲澎湃，味道鮮美，愈食愈滋味。重點是用碗盛著的兩味海鮮，大蝦份量巨型，肉質爽口，蝦頭位置的蝦羔更是甘香迷人；蜆未算很大隻，然而十分新鮮，爽口之餘，滲出白酒的香，極之美味，懶理晚上再有晚局，也要多吃幾件。沒有飲酒，只要杯Ginger Ale，有

是日「撞手神」，純綷路過鰂魚涌並試了新開的餐廳「The News Room」，無論裝修與 menu 都似曾相識 (?!) 細問之下，原來它與上環荷里活道的「The Press Room」屬同一集團，怪不得！「French Charterie Platter」先上的法式小食併盤，有豬肉腸、鴨肉腸、鴨肉醬批、巴馬火腿、莎樂美腸、烟鴨胸、橄欖、酸瓜及醃蔥頭等。當中最出色是以豬肉做成的白肉腸，味道濃郁帶點彈牙的質感，好吃。鴨肉醬批也不錯，是在巴黎吃到的味道，配梅醬、酸瓜與麵包同佐，一流。「Crab and Clam Linguine」愈簡單的食物，愈難做得好吃。這道簡單的意粉，只是用蟹及蜆本身的海鮮汁做意粉醬汁，吃時加點檸檬汁，吊出兩者的鮮味；意粉的生熟度也剛好，也很是正宗歐洲的風味。「The Grill - Prime Rib Eye」原本本少爺想吃 Prime Sirloin，可惜無貨，只有 Hanger Steak 與 Rib Eye，最終挑了 Rib Eye。這個燒得極好！要了medium，外面燒得焦香，內裡肉質仍嫩滑，肉味香濃，也不會太肥，只是略用鹽調味就足夠了，非常高分之作。也要一

Having read a local newspaper article about the emphasis this place puts on good wine, I went with a friend to check it out.Reaction: Big Disappointment. 1) They have a wine machine to dispense drinks by the glass, of wine that is isolated from the air and therefore better preserved. There were something like 10 bottles of wine in the machine.......but they don't use it. I sat in the bar for about 2 hours and never saw the machine used. A customer who wants to use it is told he has to po

五月下旬‧有雨得靚靚公關的招待，一次過試了這裡大部份的菜式，詳情不在此發表了，要說的是一杯雞尾酒。這裡以幾位著名記者的故事命名的雞尾酒，包括Hemingway Daquiri, La Stampa Spritzer, Pulitzer Punch，較有印象的是一杯Nixon Sour。Achade Domenico加上檸檬及蛋白，酸酸的味道，在夏天而言夠晒醒胃。而這裡的食物，是不錯的。

由News Room裝修等到佢開, 見佢好似幾靚, 比起同一條街既其他有較modern既感覺, 於是放工去trytry..6點半左右, NR已經坐滿左人, 我地一行3人唯有被安排坐晌BAR台.係有D逼, 不過都可以接受的.叫左2杯STELLA (Happy Hour $30 each) 同一杯被個waitress多次聽成cranberry juice既grapefruit juice ($38).再加一個細既cheese platter (細$125, 大$185).cheese platter有3款cheese, 恕我孤陋寡聞, 同一個waitress介紹完我地都唔知佢講咩...anyway, 可以介紹下幾款cheese既味道的.第一隻有磨菇味, 大家一致認為係最咸的; 第二隻有蝦味, 我自己最喜歡呢隻; 第三隻冇乜味, 友人或說有奶味, 最軟身的.platter上面有幾片麵包同有一碗仔既蕃茄蓉, 凍凍地, 重胡椒味, 幾好食的..**麵包係可以免費refill架!前面提過少少services問題, 坐落先發現問題大!位於我地坐既bar台既位置下面原來藏左個垃圾桶, 有個waiter

The News RoomIt was a causal dinner gathering at the new restaurant – The News Room. Menu is similar to The Press Room (its parent group)and décor slightly more modern than the classic bistro feel of The Press Room. Normally I don’t have any particular urge to rush to try new restaurants. However, what caught my eyes on the menu was the USDA Nebraska Prime Rib Eye steak on the menu – it’s the same kind that Grand Hyatt Steakhouse (GHSH), the hottest steakhouse in town these days, offer. I v

其實我係想講則魚涌新開果間 The News Room, 但新得濟搵唔到, 通知左openrice有呢間新餐廳又未能即時審核, 唯有響我估係同group既餐廳講左先, 希望編輯見到可以幫我移返呢篇野去返The News Room到, 謝謝!可能係新開既關係, lunch 1點3黎到落住雨都坐到滿晒要等位, 等左成20分鐘先有檯; 呢到裝修都唔錯, 有D似Classified (所以我先覺得佢地係同group), lunch可以叫set或a la carte, 我地3個人叫左2個set再加個spainish salad, portion都ok夠唔會話太少, 個salad $9x, 都有幾多蟹肉, $165/ 3 courses, 湯係磨菇湯, 好rich好creamy, main course叫左pork loin同埋pumpkin risotto, 前者好一般仲鞋鞋地, 我比較鍾意後者, 南瓜味勁濃, 甜品係檸檬唔知咩, 味道酸酸地似益力多/乳酸布甸多D, 餐飲係要加$10先有既, 我地冇叫到, 埋單$450左右, lunch黎講都相當富貴架喇, 不過對鬼佬黎講就應該覺得OK囉, 如果

11pm來到, 戶外剛好有一張吉枱。 廚房已關, 無得叫小吃。 竟然無malibu coke喎。 Ginger Ale淡荗荗。$28 老友要咗橙味rum+coke, 好似$68-78 11:30pm last order。 12點關門, 無得再坐, 要收椅。 今晚無蚊咬, lucky。
