記得第一次吃袋鼠肉，是在尖沙咀的Black Stump吃，印象中袋鼠肉味挺羶，回家後，身也帶著濃郁的肉味。若跟其他肉類相比，個人還是喜愛吃牛多些，但袋鼠肉健康得多，因為它的脂肪含量少，相同份量的肉中以袋鼠肉的卡路里最低，甚至比牛柳更要低一倍，所以偶爾間吃些也都不錯。Black Stump也在中環開了分店，這天就來吃飯。我們選了DiningCity Menu，三道菜，價錢為$238，不過主菜沒有袋老肉，所以也另外點了一份來吃。侍應先送上餐包，烘暖後的麵包，包身也鬆軟。Smoked Salmon Caesar Salad，煙三文魚凱撒沙律，新鮮的沙律菜混勻了沙律醬，醬料不會過多，加上片片煙三文魚，及香脆的煙肉，鹹香適中。Caprese Salad，意式蕃茄沙律，水牛芝士、小蕃茄及沙律菜，跟上橄欖油醋汁，味道清新。主菜是Australian Rib Eye with Seasonal Vegetables & Fried Potatoes，6oz，澳洲安格斯肉眼扒，生熟度點了Medium Rare，肉眼扒表面欠缺焦香，內裡肉質嫩腍，牛肉味道不算十分濃，但肉汁豐盛，伴上還有紅酒汁，整體也都接受。配菜還有大烤菇及薯仔，烤菇不會乾身，還充滿菌汁，這個我喜歡吃。另一款主菜是Pan-Seared Barramundi with Seasonal Vegetables & Fried Potatoes in Lemon Citrus & Herb Butter，香煎盲鰽魚柳，這個比牛扒更好吃，魚皮煎得香脆，魚肉嫩滑鮮甜，底部的並非薯蓉，而是芹菜蓉，味道清甜，與魚鮮味道互相融合。來這裡當然也要吃袋鼠肉，也從餐牌中散點了Kangaroo Strip Loin，精選袋鼠柳，8oz，$298，選了建議的生熟度Medium Rare。記得上次來吃的袋鼠柳，獨有的羶味較重，可要視乎每個人的接受程度。這帶嫩紅的肉質，口感軟腍，由於脂肪較少，所以感覺沒有牛肉般的脂香豐腴，但今次吃的味道較為討好，肉味不會太濃烈，感覺不錯。除了袋鼠柳，也選了Surf & Turf，特級澳洲牛柳伴炭燒大蝦，$298，這個牛柳烤煮時控制得比剛才肉眼扒的好，肉心較嫩腍，口感討好。大蝦份量也真挺大，肉質挺實，蝦頭有點蝦膏，令味道較鮮。最後甜品是Hot Chocolate Fondant With mandarin infused chocolate & ginger ice cream，朱古力軟心蛋糕伴薑汁雪糕，切開朱古力蛋糕，朱古力漿澎湃地流出來，質感稀稠，但朱古力味道也夠濃郁。伴上的是較特別的薑味雪糕，帶點辛辣，跟朱古力味道也相夾。整體來說，食物也可接受，想試袋鼠肉的不坊一試。 繼續閱讀

Well well, its another Central lunch with my mates As we're all poor people (at the moment), we couldn't afford to have lunch in places like MO, Four Seasons ... etc., and today we came to Stanley 11 for lunch. Since we were running out of time, we rushed straight into the lifts. My friend suggested Japanese food, fed up with the meals we had, we quickly closed the doors of the lift and moved on to the second floor.What we seeThe environment was pleasing and modern, with a bit of retro black n white style (honestly I don't quite like black n white) The restaurant was quite packed during lunch hour (okay thats pretty normal?) We waited for a couple of minutes at the entrance and we were brought to our table, we thought the service was fine Since we had a look at the menu during our wait, we quickly ordered our lunch.What we orderThe lunch menu offers a variety of food (ofcourse not as broad as the you would expect on a "HK style Cha Chan Teng") Just a general idea of what they serve: steak, pasta, risotto, pizza, the normal kind of food you would expect to be on a western menu. As you would see, they serve risotto, I'm not entirely sure whether you would categorise that as Australian/American cuisine (as you would note in the info box on Openrice).The gentleman who took our orders was very tall and handsome, you don't expect to see such man in a restaurant, brilliant (the "Gentleman"). The Gentleman clearly has good memory, we spelled out our orders and food, soup, etc so quickly that even I can't remember what exactly I have ordered but he delivered the food without a single mistake. well done mate! For the Apps, we were given the choice of a salad or soup of the day, and ofcourse we asked what the soup and salad is. The Gentleman responded the soup of the day being seafood soup (he didn't specify what seafood soup, and if im not wrong, lobster bisque and a clam chowder tastes a bit different) and salad......... (and this is a direct quote from the gentleman) "is just some salad" he said, as well as laughed.I'm sorry but it appears to me the Gentleman simply didn't know/care about their own menu. What we tasteWarm bread was served with salted butter, I would say, fair.Yet no plates were given for our bread, leaving bread crumbs on the table, perhaps this is their style? I saw them sweeping bread crumbs off each table after diners left, what is the point... but who cares when the bread was nice and warm! Soup arrived and before we were being served, we were told the "seafood soup" had been sold out, and the waiter offered an alternative, we were left with little (if any) choice and a cream vegetable soup was then placed in front of us.As usual, my mate chucked her leftover bread next to my soup for photo, I have absolutely no idea why she kept doing that, it doesn't help much with writing a perfect food review does it? So, dear respectful Editor, please ignore this photo.The vegetable soup tastes milky and creamy but slightly watery. I can taste broccoli in the soup, i mean the taste was alright, but it would be better if it isn't that diluted. My learned friend did complain about the lack of correct cutleries, she asked if that was for the soup. We paused, then nodded and continued with our meal. What about the entrees?Three of us ordered the following:1. Lasagne2. Salmon fettucini in cream sauce3. Mussels and scallop with pumpkin risottoLasagneMy learned friend said it was cooked nicely, rich and a bit filling for her. Salmon fettucini in cream sauceIsn't it beautiful the fettucini? However my learned friend (literally) refused to comment on the dish (due to the incident stated below).Mussels and scallop with pumpkin risottoRisotto was perfectly cooked, the pumpkin sauce was not too sweet but just right, the sweetness brings out the freshness of the scallops, it was brilliant. However, not so brilliant were the mussels, I can see they were seasoned with pepper and spices but not evenly, resulting in two out of the three tasted a bit fishy, what a pity. Although cherry tomatoes doesn't really match with the dish, I liked it.Risotto normally doesn't come in a big portion, but look at the picture..! I was very full after the lunch!Tea and coffee followed, we ordered iced lemon tea and syrup served separately What we thinkI mean, honestly, I think its a fair lunch, the food certainly meet the standards but there are rooms for improvement. The atmosphere was friendly. 繼續閱讀

2012.08.31 Lunch @ Black Stump早一天才決定和同事出來吃午餐, 竟然還可以訂到位真的有點喜出望外!可能是因為它的中環分店是新開的, 沒多少人留意到吧~但等等, 可能有點高興得太早, 他們竟然留了一張四人卡位給我們五人@@有點太過份了吧, 還好我們都是標準身型, 否則如何塞得下?位子沒有不緊要, 只剩一張四人枱子也不跟要, 但訂枱時也該和人客說清楚吧...!set lunch menu 一共有12款選擇, soup/salad + main course + drinks, 價錢 $85-$148+10%大約11:30分的時候先打去問餐廳要menu, 豈知回覆竟是manager 12:30 才回來, 所以不可以fax/email menu 給我..! 真是奇怪之極. 幸好聽電話的那人態度還是很好, 也願意把那12個選擇細讀我知, 才叫下了一口氣=-=~service 不敢恭維, 食物質素又如何呢???Starter 可以選擇Salad or soup今次是海鮮濃湯, 果然真的很濃, 勁香蝦味~! 我們都笑說是把剝下的蝦殼都拿去煲湯了而友人亦表示沙律用的菜很新鮮~Linguine with Clams HK$92驚訝吧~ 這竟然是最辣的一個菜式~!! 既鮮且辣, 好開胃呀~扁意粉也可以做到al dente, 如果吃得辣, 這個可是必試推介!!Spaghetti Carbonara HK$82一貫的滯膩! 這裡的出品是醬汁厚身而味濃, 滯膩感很高但這個杰度對我來說就是最正統的carbonara 了~Fettuccine with Prawns in Spicy Tomato Sauce HK$95雖說是Spicy Tomato Sauce, 它的辣度絕比不上Linguine with Clams蝦蠻新鮮的, 但感覺上沒有個人風格, 面目模糊吃了就是吃了, 不會想回頭再食一次的衝動Wild Mushroom & Black Truffle Risotto HK$85這個應該是5款裡最不討喜的一款了, 雖然茹味也算濃, 但芝味奶味不少吃一口都有點太難消化的感覺如果要一個人吃清一碟, 大概也是mission impossible 了@@Australian Rib eye with Daily vegetables HK$148不寫食評也不發現原來自己雖然老說自己喜歡牛, 卻不大懂吃牛這rib eye 肉質鬆軟, 廚師也把生熟度控制得很好, 我自己是很喜歡的~但價錢實在偏貴了一點而且配菜薯仔很也搶焦點, 外皮有點煙煙韌韌, 很是特別總的來說, 今次的經驗是幾好的.始終新店開張, 營運上可能多少未很是順暢希望將來會有改善吧! 繼續閱讀
