Common Room 從外觀和食物都令人感覺 Classic.
食飯的地區(Dining area) 都是用了皮梳化。
食物每一碟的很精緻.

今天是閒日，人流不算多。環境是都寬大且有氣氛.
跟朋友閒聊就最好的選擇，不過有點兒冷，女孩子要帶備外套

我們2個人共點了3款菜式及1個甜品

Rheinhessen, Riesling, Germany

我們點了杯白酒 Rheinhessen, Riesling, Germany 2013
對酒不太認識，但知道德國酒會較偏甜，所以個人喜歡德國白酒
較為易入口

Charcuterie Board

頭盤是Charcuterie Board, 包括有Chorizo, Parma & Truffle Salami 配蔬菜沙律及橄欖。
味道跟吃開的都差不多，Truffle Salami 的煙熏味很濃，很喜歡。

然後上台的是Slider Combo － Foie Gras Burger + Portobello Mushroom Burger
非常迷你，1 之過享受兩款Burger。SIZE是女孩子喜歡的，有單叫的，SIZE相應會大.

Foie Gras Burger. 肉嫩多汁再配上鵝肝配上火箭菜，肉味及鵝肝都很突出但又不會太濃，

Portobello Mushroom Burger

Portobello Mushroom Burger - 蘑菇這個就比較油一點，但內裡有牛油果醬配蘑菇也還不錯的。

Linguine Vongole

怕不夠飽就點了 Linguine Vongole - 麵條的嚼勁和份量俱足, 但個人較喜歡較軟身的麵條,味道一般。

眼見人家的甜品會著火，就跟著點吧。侍應點火後，火焰很高。這是拍照位
火焰熄前會再倒酒令火焰再起。前後倒了3次酒。故吃時，會有很大的酒精味.

火焰熄滅後，就倒上草莓醬,外層蛋糕皮一樣，但軟身的，沒有口感，不是別人說的脆
切開裡面是vanilla 雪糕。這個未吃前的確吸引，但卻有點失望，沒有想像的好吃。

Grievances at work and loud laughs aren't bipolar extremes - putting down the first while bringing up the latter is the rule of the game in Lan Kwai Fong. Not wanting to move our butts between happy hour and dinner time, right at the quiet swoop of Wo On Lane, we killed our Monday blue with happy hour drinks and Spanish dishes.

Not extravagant, but just being classy. Dining venues look generally great around this area, but at the same time quite costly too. Comparing with Azure which I wrote before, Common Room's menu is a lot more friendly, which makes it a casual option for friends gathering.

Probably tailor-made for the customers in proximity, they serve antipasti buffet plus an option for main course at lunch ($150 up) and late night menu for pathetic breadwinners who work till late at night. Those I dated are of course survivors who can sneak out from office by 7pm!

Classy bars don't need chandeliers, but dimly lit and industrial-chic interiors plus large wooden tables. The 31-foot long mixology bar table strikes through the most eye-catching area in the restaurant. Largest portion of seats go to those with decent tables and comfy seats, being multi-purposed enough for drinks and nibbles - that's what a gastrobar truly means.

Liquor bottles were decently shown on the shelf, no wonder making up the "cast iron liquor library" that the restaurant has been proclaimed for. Lighting was gentle and elegant, shaping the cozy and communal ambience straight to the point.

Intended for mainly a dinner right after drinks, a wooden table well served our purpose. There weren't many customers on an early Monday night, making it even more spacious in addition to its setting.

Spiked Smoothies x 2

Spiked Smoothies

Still early for dinner cravings, two of us wished to grab happy hour drinks first. Fascinated by the leaflet promoting "healthy" smoothie-like cocktails, we ordered two which truly look like smoothies made by veggies! Heard that VANIMAL offered creative cocktails with elements of veggies, at a similar pricing as well.

Cool - cumber $105

The soft green tone of the drink in fact looks like that of 五青汁 - just that there is no sign or taste of bitter gourd, green pepper and green apple. Cucumber, as how it is named, overwhelmed the taste with freshness and scent of green. Although it contains vodka, its taste wasn't significant, probably becoming mild after being neutralized by plain yogurt which creates the smoothie-like texture.

Not a fan of over-sweetened cocktails, this seemingly healthy (or is it really healthy?) cocktail gave a soothing feeling to awake your taste buds after a day of tiring work. However, it may not be that appealing to vodka lovers who look for real taste of it without looking at the ingredients in its menu.

Heart Beet Smoothie $115

Heart Beet Smoothie

One of my friends got a even not-so-cocktail-like cocktail, with vodka like mine but with beetroot as the red colour splash. Berries on top looked attractive like ice cream toppings. With maple syrup, this was sweeter than mine and vodka, not hidden by beetroot juice, tasted stronger than mine as well.

Slider Combo $98

Not being excessively big eaters, we ordered three dishes for nibbles - the first being a burger combo. Quite a considerate concept to cater both omnivores and herbivores, one of the burgers was with wagyu and foie gras and another with portobello. I believe that not only vegetarians love portobello for its meaty texture and robust flavour.

I still picked the omnivore option - the one with foie gras and wagyu. These two are strong in flavour to leave a luxurious buttery taste, let alone combining the two in one go. Beef was grilled just right, leaving signs of slight red inside.

Classic Cheese Curds Poutine $118

Classic Cheese Curds Poutine

With drinks, it's my all time favourite to have fries, though not being a diehard fan for deep-fried kind of fries. Instead of ordering the "sweet potato fries" on the menu, we were informed of the promotion of build-your-own-poutine and decided to give it a try - just a little bit more pricy ($118 compared to $78) but the premium goes to homemade cheese curds and beef gravy!

Poutine, being a Canadian (to be exact, Quebec) dish, should be appealing enough to those who have cravings in french fries but fear for getting a sore throat. Having thick beefy gravy through thick-cut french fries, the crispy layer is thus softened yet having the alluring greasy smell.

We didn't bother adding extra toppings, but in fact add-on options are available ranging from +$20 to $30, for example with bacon and eggs, grilled beef and red shrimps. A bowl of classic poutine was pretty fine to satiate pre-dinner cravings.

As told by the staff, cheese curds were made in-house by themselves and not imported nor purchased elsewhere. Looking densely yellow in cubes, cheese curds scattered in the bowl and hiding in camouflage of thick-cut fries!

Beef gravy did its job in smothering cheese curds and fries, giving a light beefy taste. Fries remain crispy enough on the outside yet soft and moist inside to withstand the gravy bath. Gravy was thick enough but able to reach to the bottom so that no mixing was necessary to get the gravy smothering the ingredients.

Chicken Lollipops $98

Chicken Lollipops

Personally not a big fan for fried food (cravings satiasted for me after the poutine), I was not especially moved by these chicken lollipops. Just grapping one would be fine though. Perhaps my response would be completely different if I were in a Korean restaurant, serving me a whole dish of fried chicken plus beer with K-pop MV playing on the TV!

Two sauces to moist the crispy and fried layer - thousand island dressing for the sour dip and maple syrup for the sweet dip. My vote went to maple syrup as the savory marinated flavour surprisingly matched with a sweet sauce.

Cravings for fried food were basically satisfied by the above appetizers and we then needed starch in our stomach for the night! Two main courses weren't in paltry portion and filled in the remaining 40% of our appetite.

Lobster Linguine $178

Lobster Linguine

Half a Canadian Lobster stood upright in the middle of the dish, having a large portion of it as the head though. The sauce was dominated by tomato and garlic, with a little highlight of spicy taste. Happy to see that the sauce wasn't too thick to smother, linguine didn't get mushy yet having spice and herbs clinged on the surface - al dente!

Lazybones shouldn't find this an easy go - one has to be really patient in getting the meat out of the shell. Texture of meat was firm and didn't taste dull, attributing to the freshness and optimal doneness.

Squid Ink Seafood Paella $168

Squid Ink Seafood Paella

The dish looked quite different from what I expected - perhaps a modern twist from the classic version in my mind, served with a large pan which is usually a flat, open round steel pan with handles. The prawn stood upright in the middle just like the lobster linguine, with a mix of seafood like squid rings, prawns and scallop pieces with inked rice.

Texture of rice was the best part of the dish. Using Arborio instead of any long grain rice, Arborio was a good pick in absorbing the broth but not getting too mushy.

Wrapping up the happy-hour-cum-dinner, while feeling puzzled for where to have desserts around, lazybones simply ordered two desserts here. $88 for one is somehow reasonable in Central, especially with not many dessert options around. (We thought of Holly Brown's ice cream but rolled our eyes..)

Cryo-Fried Vanilla Ice Cream $88

While nitrogen ice cream has been there for quite a while, cyro-fried is perhaps a newbie still, though in the same parade of using nitrogen in interesting culinary use. Taking Nitrogen's advantage of low boiling point, deep-frying can easily create a perfect brown crust and thaw the frozen layer, while preventing the interior from overcooked. This is what the theory lies in for the non-melting ice cream inside!

Pouring brandy all over it to get it flamed, which made a truly spectacular watch, perhaps a good option if it was for someone's birthday. Fresh berries at the bottom surprisingly didn't get burnt by the flame!

Cryo-Fried Vanilla Ice Cream

We regretted ordering the other dish of dessert, as this ice cream was truly huge, much bigger than my fist. The crust was a little bitter in taste, brought by the existence of brandy, however got soothened with strawberry syrup which was poured after flaming.

Vanilla ice cream didn't give us a big surprise in flavour, but in texture as it remains so cold and frozen after the cyro-frying method and flaming of the crust.

Sticky Date Pudding $88

Sticky Date Pudding

Looking like Brownie or some kind of Christmas cakes, the date pudding was topped with another scoop of Vanilla ice cream which made it repetitive given our previous dessert dish. $88 is truly for a good value again - desserts here seem to have quite a high C/P value when compared to rest of the dishes. Nonetheless, one wouldn't have expected that much given that "tapas" style means for its petite size.

The taste of date was so alluring that even we were that full, we managed to finish 3/4 of it. It wasn't that dense and sweet as imagined, at least not like stone-hard brownies. It remained warm when served, having the stark contrast in temperature between pudding and ice cream.

What truly worth encoring were probably its desserts and poutine! Central has always been a vivid cluster of different kinds of restaurants, but it isn't easy to find one which is all-round enough to serve creative yet affordable drinks, main courses and desserts. Common Room may not be that COMMON, for its contemporary humbleness to embrace all these elements in a 4000-sq.ft attic.

============
Full menu is available at its official website (http://www.common-room.hk), thus not showing all of them here. Just some leaflets for a quick scan though -

位於中環的Common Room ,一直都覺得有點定位不明,究竟是酒吧還是餐廳?
因為幾年前的星期日早上，總會到此地參加聚會,就是我媽說那些偽文青活動,
餐廳買什麼真的不知道,但卻記得有大大的Common Area,
相信common room 的名字同此大有關聯

朋友未到我們先叫飲品,喝著等齊人,
在選擇餐飲時,發現了有雪條加Cocktail 的飲品,夏天正呀!
因為我實在太易醉.問過侍應含酒量並不高,一於叫黎試下

Aperol Spitzer $165 包括雪條及Cocktails 乙杯!
雪條是NicePops 出品 (信心保證)
香橙、Aperol 利口酒、毡酒,酒味不太明顯,甜甜地好易就食完!!
Cocktails 有Aperol 利口酒、鮮橙汁、柚子汁、糖漿、Prosecco香檳,
酒味相比雪條就明顯濃多,所以我也只敢喝兩口,怕錯過了今晚的美食嘛~笑!

Kale and Pomegranate salad
名字已清楚列明所用的材料，Kale 是近年興起的Super Food,菜葉比較挺身,口感爽脆清新,
配合有抗氧化功效的清甜石榴粒，邊吃邊收美容之效，難怪朋友一坐下就要點這個!
煙肉粒及巴馬臣芝士,令到味道更加豐盛,就是凱撒沙律的進階版!

Kale and Pomegranate salad

Slow braised pork belly
晶瑩剔透的豬腩肉,觀感甚為肥膩,但入口沒半點膩,
應是澆上的蘋果楓糖醬汁的居功厥偉,令到入口肥膩感大減,
味帶香甜,肥這回事,出年夏天才算吧~

Slow braised pork belly

外表似中式燒肉的肥瘦相間,肉質不嫩不韌~

Slow braised pork belly

Cod Croquette
我以為是炸蠔,原來是鱈魚做的,加入蕃薯及墨西哥青辣椒做成丸狀,
香脆的外層加上嫩滑沒雪味的魚肉,味道甜帶點辛辣,層次感非常豐富

Slider Combo
每客有兩件的小漢堡,素食及肉食各一,肉食那個集合了和牛及鵝肝兩個元素~
而素食的則以大傘菇為主導~

因為我戒牛肉中,吃了素食的那個,大傘菇水份充足,味道清新不膩~

Cryo-fried Vanilla Ice Cream
以金黃色大如氣球的造型上桌，旁邊放上雜果，
店員淋上酒點火,氣氛甚好,最後再淋上莓子汁，每添一次白蘭地氣氛更加High！

Cryo-fried Vanilla Ice Cream

切開炸皮,見到雪白的雲呢拿雪糕，口感細膩，冰感不高，配合酸酸甜甜的莓汁一起吃，
一點也不膩口，說實在的，平時有點火的甜品，影完相後總是無人想食，或食剩大量，
這個除了相機食得，人都爭著吃，可想而知味道十分不錯～

Cryo-fried Vanilla Ice Cream

最後點了Sticky Date Pudding，啡色加雪糕的配搭，第一眼以為是Brownie，
以棗蓉製成自然比平常的Brownie 來得輕盈，健康又美味！

Sticky Date Pudding

面脆內濕潤的糕點，記得要點雪糕一起吃，一冷一熱，一念天堂一念地獄也！

Sticky Date Pudding

蘭桂芳要賣酒不難，但同一間餐廳有齊小食甜品美酒，可說比較少，
這兒果然是Common Room，任何人也適合在此消磨一個晚上，各找所好！

上回跟友人到Boomshack午後小休一會，離店時順便走走看看附近的食店。發現不少以前沒有留意到的，因為要多走數步，因為門面不夠突出不管重要與否，我們總是會錯過身邊微小的事物。捕獲了小食店之餘，還有這家近街尾的Gastropub。Common Room這名字早有聽聞，原來藏身於這小巷之內。　　甫進店內一邊是平常酒吧的吧枱，另一邊就是有如扒房的餐桌座位。再走進一點過了玻璃門又是另一個世界，比較熱的環境，不過就是吸煙區。沒有過份的煙酒味，呼吸系統不太健康的我都稍為放心點。衛生情況也不錯，未見明顯垃圾污漬，周圍都沒有黏笠的問題。　　餐牌選擇頗為多樣，果真與一般酒吧只有什麼炸物拼盤，或是火腿沙律是兩回事。蔬菜、海鮮、肉類、甜品及麵包均在列上，在此完滿一頓正餐毫無難度。有趣的是分類根據來源，蔬菜等為地下，海鮮當然是海，肉類就是地上……甜品竟然是來自天堂，好吧好吧，這是自我滿足的說法就是了。Young & Beautiful　$140　　本想說要健康點不碰酒，嗯，兩天滴酒不沾。聽到Common Room有Boozesicle酒味雪條，忍不住爆發小宇宙。原來以前都有賣過Boozesicle，大受歡迎

上回跟友人到Boomshack午後小休一會，離店時順便走走看看附近的食店。發現不少以前沒有留意到的，因為要多走數步，因為門面不夠突出不管重要與否，我們總是會錯過身邊微小的事物。捕獲了小食店之餘，還有這家近街尾的Gastropub。Common Room這名字早有聽聞，原來藏身於這小巷之內。

　　甫進店內一邊是平常酒吧的吧枱，另一邊就是有如扒房的餐桌座位。再走進一點過了玻璃門又是另一個世界，比較熱的環境，不過就是吸煙區。沒有過份的煙酒味，呼吸系統不太健康的我都稍為放心點。衛生情況也不錯，未見明顯垃圾污漬，周圍都沒有黏笠的問題。

　　餐牌選擇頗為多樣，果真與一般酒吧只有什麼炸物拼盤，或是火腿沙律是兩回事。蔬菜、海鮮、肉類、甜品及麵包均在列上，在此完滿一頓正餐毫無難度。有趣的是分類根據來源，蔬菜等為地下，海鮮當然是海，肉類就是地上……甜品竟然是來自天堂，好吧好吧，這是自我滿足的說法就是了。

Young & Beautiful

Young & Beautiful　$140
　　本想說要健康點不碰酒，嗯，兩天滴酒不沾。聽到Common Room有Boozesicle酒味雪條，忍不住爆發小宇宙。原來以前都有賣過Boozesicle，大受歡迎，這次是載譽歸來，背後大概要發光了。Chocolate Factory、Young & Beautiful、Aperol Spitzer、Whiskey Snapper及Crimson Sweet，五款雞尾酒均搭一條細版的Nicepops雪條，另有大版的單支出售。

　　我選的Young & Beautiful內含伏特加、鮮芒果汁、老薑、柚子汁及芒果糖漿。質感稠稠滑滑，有點像鮮芒果汁的濃度，再稍加稀釋。芒果雪條用到伏特加、芒果及薑，單價　$60。芒果味道不多說一定是中心，甜香，熟透的芒果那種，不酸澀。薑味清香想不到竟頗突出，不嗆辣，但那香氣沁人心脾。

Kale & Pomegranate Caesar

Kale & Pomegranate Caesar　$98
　　以凱撒沙律作基本概念再加以變化的一道清新菜式。用到大熱的Superfood－－羽衣甘藍，補充維他命及礦物質等，更有抗氧化作用。店方指所用的羽衣甘藍來自法國，新鮮爽脆而青味都不過火。配上紅石榴，頓時讓我想起在地中海及希臘菜中常見紅石榴沙律。酸甜果香增添清新感，配上鹹香得當的巴馬臣芝士及脆而不膩的煙肉及麵包粒。還不能忘掉那濃郁酸滑的凱撒沙律醬，大概是天使菜式了。

Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet Potato Fries　$68
　　最近對於蕃薯條十分注意，香脆綿甜集於一身又怎能不愛呢？這邊的竟然是粗薯條，難得地不如常見的幼身，灑上點點香草添色。本就橙黃，炸香後再多鍍上一層薄薄的金黃。甜味不重，反而是蕃薯香氣突圍而出，剛炸好熱辣辣，沒有油溢味或是油膩感。沾點自家製的Chipotle Buttermilk Aioli醬汁，甜酸之間帶有微微辣度。比起坊間大多的蕃茄醬奉桌要用心得多，味道上配搭也襯得多。

Cod Croquettes　$108
　　有吃過甜的Croquettes嗎？將平常用的薯仔換成清甜的蕃薯入饌。炸得香脆又不油，每件均是金黃飽滿的，沒有油淋淋的外表，叫人安心些少。鱈魚碎混入蕃薯及墨西哥青辣椒，香味之中帶甜帶辣，卻不嗆且順口。不覺魚腥或是雪味，沾著帶酸甜辣的濃稠自家製沾醬同食就更為惹味。

Poached Oysters

Poached Oysters　$148
以小多士的形態奉桌，不說不知這內藏蠔肉。件件疊得精美，跟平常的酒吧食物完全兩個感覺。蠔肉香稔綿滑，鮮美不韌不老，亦沒什麼腥味還是雪藏味之類。荷蘭汁滲有橙香，不會單有濃濃牛油味，同時有小蔥的清味幫忙，膩感大降。底下的多士烤得頗算香脆，香酥感重的Brioche麵包果然不俗，少甜。

Slow Braised Pork Belly

Slow Braised Pork Belly　$108
　　邪惡大使當之無愧，誘人的相貌讓席間嚷著要減肥的友人為之動容。澆上的不是燒汁，竟是自家製的蘋果楓糖醬，新意十足。豬腩肉肥騰騰，有如燒肉的外表，入口卻是甜香得很。皮層脂肪油香豐潤，味甘得要直接吃下不多加猶豫。肉質不算嫩口，幸好不算太韌，豬肉還是完全熟透安全點。

Slider Combo　$98
　　Common Room供應兩款小漢堡，一葷一素，這個組合就可以一次嚐齊。一碟兩件小漢堡，別看那個頭小小的，足料得很。一人吃完兩個其實都頗佔胃納的，尤其是肉的一款。雖然比素食漢堡細件點，但味道豐富浸浴味蕾這點就教人滿足了。

　　Wagyu Foie Gras Slider又是邪惡代表，鵝肝油香再加和牛油香就是幾級跳的加成了。和牛漢堡不會太老，中心嫩色粉紅證明一切，香氣濃郁不膩。只是有點鬆散，一切開就快要碎粒掉落的樣子，不多移動它快手拍一張就罷。鵝肝味厚香濃，不會過油帶腥，那輕輕焦香添加一層香氣。炒香的洋蔥甜綿可口，也有點點芝麻葉及醋醬，解膩醒胃。

　　Portobello Mushroom Slider那件大蘑菇非常吸睛，一整個就是氣勢啊。蘑菇水份滿溢，濕潤爽口，毫不韌柴，清清菇香突出。中間夾有牛油果，那份清新滋潤實則不錯，也未會過膩。Gruyère芝士香味平易近人，略帶鹹香但不過濃，低調提香。同時有炒焦的洋蔥，焦香加上自然甜味當然讓小漢堡愈為香惹。

Squid Ink Seafood Paella

Squid Ink Seafood Paella　$138
　　雖說Common Room是Gastropub，但也沒想到會有Paella的出現。而且價錢如此便宜，跟動輒三四百的Paella似乎有點出入，不禁有點擔心其出品。莫非又是那些掛羊頭賣狗肉，煮個Risotto變成煮粥的店家？結果出爐，賣相不俗的墨魚汁西班牙炒飯色彩繽紛，並非單字一個「黑」。表面更盛上不少海鮮料及彩椒絲，似乎也跟足料，份量就當然不同幾百元的大鑊飯啦。

　　圓潤飽滿的飯粒確是意大利米，Arborio短身又吸汁，裹上黝黑的墨魚汁還透白。彈性嚼勁滿滿，加入墨魚汁未算太油，並添上點點鮮香。且有西班牙辣肉腸坐陣，不會過份膩口，若再乾爽少許更佳。蜆肉、藍青口及魷魚三味海鮮料佔量不少，爽口無腥味，跟墨魚汁的鮮香很搭。濃味？膩滯？來點清甜的椒絲，中和一下，緩緩味蕾負擔，準備再戰。

Cryo-fried Vanilla Ice Cream

Cryo-fried Vanilla Ice Cream　$85
　　夏日熱辣辣，還熱到要起火，最後的甜品環節來個藍藍火焰球醒醒神先。上桌之時記緊要準備好相機，就算是小小低溫火都不可以燒太久啦。店員為炸球淋上白蘭地，點燃，炸球隨即被亮亮火光包圍。以前吃的火焰甜品大多只有數秒曇花一現的效果，這次店員分兩三次淋注，時間延長了，不過小心別烤太焦燶，本末倒置。

　　澆上火紅的桑莓醬令藍火熄滅，同時添上自然莓果色澤。不要就此置之於一旁，要趁熱……不！要趁凍食啊。因為一切開就可見裏頭是一大個雪糕球，以炸皮包起。雲尼拿雪糕帶有點點細碎雲尼拿籽，甜香味道溫和可人，冰感不重，頗為細滑。炸皮厚厚一層，軟軟韌韌的略帶甜香，一下刀的時候有點如麻糬的感覺。綿彈不死實，配上那清新酸甜的莓果醬同食可去膩。

Chocolate Pudding

Chocolate Pudding　$68
　　很像心太軟吧？實際上是軟心蛋糕，不是流心那款。切開之後只見中心濕潤亮光，還在想是不是失敗出品。要不是翻看餐牌都以為這是Lava Cake，差點錯怪店方了。朱古力香氣突出，當然啦由糕身由溶心，甚至外頭的淋醬點綴均為朱古力。有著莓果裝飾，覺得太甜膩的話可以用來解一解，方便就手。可惜的是蛋糕底部太焦了點，不是苦燶，但焦味很重。

Sticky Date Pudding

Sticky Date Pudding　$78
　　大愛的甜品也有在列上，濕潤綿軟的棗蓉布甸不得不點。看上去有點熟悉……賣相像早前Jamie's Italian的呃Like布朗尼。在我們面前的是綿彈甜美又實在的棗蓉布甸，濕潤度得宜，不會過份淋爛。雲尼拿雪糕仍是那夾著雲尼拿籽，香氣自然，細滑順口那款。淋上拖肥醬，那份帶焦甜濃叫人怎能抵擋，巴不得連碟面也要舔清。

Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake

Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake　$68
　　之前才說過什麼芝士蛋糕太膩滯不想吃，這時點個加入新鮮酸甜莓果不就在逼人推翻自己所言嗎？桑莓不愧為主調，果香不單在面頭的莓果自身體現，也滲入芝士層間。淡忌廉味道不會過份厚實，比較輕盈的奶香細滑，且有莓果果味搭救。餅底厚身頗硬脆，Oreo細碎頗甜，芝士層甜度不高正正就平衡得到。
　　想不到一家我們以為只是隨便喝個酒就轉場的Gastropub可以留我們整晚。來的時候還想著之後要去那裏吃正餐好，此時就可以省卻一大麻煩。由前菜、小食、主菜、甜品到飲品一應俱全，環境服務也不錯，價位亦是合理範圍。怪不得當晚都有不少客人，還以為沒多少人會留意到這藏身於和安里深深處的店子呢。果然要細心了解身邊周圍，那就可以找到潛藏的點點美好。

早前已經知道Common Room有好受歡迎的Boozesicles , 但就一直未落實時間去試試, 這晚我終於去到啦~~店鋪面積很大啊! 環境很不錯, 用膳和碰杯都在這範圍, 室內是禁煙的, 這點對我來說很重要, 因為不想享受美食時被攻鼻的香煙圍繞著.餐廳於座位上的設計亦有幾款, 剛才的適合4人, 而情侶或二人的就在這邊靠牆.8-10人的話, 這張方型枱就fit晒!在吃之前, 我們慣常都會先點飲品. 今次較特別, 因同時有酒有雪條. 說的是Boozesicles雞尾酒雪條, 共有5款口味, UM….有點拿不定主意啊, 因為每款都幾吸引, 最後要定你啦~ Aperol Spitzer , 以Aperol 利口酒, 橙汁, 西柚汁, 糖漿, prosecco 香檳調製而成. 酒味不算很濃, 較突出是橙汁和西柚汁的清新, 顏色很美啊~雪條的味道跟cocktail是大同小異, 以香橙, aperol 利口酒及毯酒製成. 這款‘橙冰冰雪條’很像我於小學時在家自製般, 當然沒有酒精成份啦.夏天看到這個配搭很爽啊~ 一邊吃雪條一邊喝cocktail. 聽說 Boozesicles只在夏天有售. 或

早前已經知道Common Room有好受歡迎的Boozesicles , 但就一直未落實時間去試試, 這晚我終於去到啦~~

店鋪面積很大啊! 環境很不錯, 用膳和碰杯都在這範圍, 室內是禁煙的, 這點對我來說很重要, 因為不想享受美食時被攻鼻的香煙圍繞著.

餐廳於座位上的設計亦有幾款, 剛才的適合4人, 而情侶或二人的就在這邊靠牆.

8-10人的話, 這張方型枱就fit晒!

在吃之前, 我們慣常都會先點飲品. 今次較特別, 因同時有酒有雪條. 說的是Boozesicles雞尾酒雪條, 共有5款口味, UM….有點拿不定主意啊, 因為每款都幾吸引, 最後要定你啦~ Aperol Spitzer , 以Aperol 利口酒, 橙汁, 西柚汁, 糖漿, prosecco 香檳調製而成. 酒味不算很濃, 較突出是橙汁和西柚汁的清新, 顏色很美啊~

雪條的味道跟cocktail是大同小異, 以香橙, aperol 利口酒及毯酒製成. 這款‘橙冰冰雪條’很像我於小學時在家自製般, 當然沒有酒精成份啦.
夏天看到這個配搭很爽啊~ 一邊吃雪條一邊喝cocktail. 聽說 Boozesicles只在夏天有售. 或者心水清的朋友都知道cocktail只是轉變它的形態, 從液體變固體的存在, $60一枝試得過, 始終酒味雪條不多嘛~

放在枱上的既是menu也是墊枱的, 食物種類有四項, 分別是Earth, Sea, Land及Heaven. 我特別喜歡餐廳將甜品以Heaven來歸類. 對女生來說, 吃甜品就是美好的事, 正餐縱是美好, 但甜品總會把女生帶到另一個天堂.

今餐的大多是的的骰骰的菜式, 除了這碟卷葉芥蘭石榴凱撒沙律.

Kale and Pomegranate salad

這款沙律很高營養價值, 因為有抗氧化石榴, 味道清清甜甜, 平時我會買一個來刨~ 印象中首次吃法國卷菜芥蘭, 幾爽口, 其他材料都是凱撒沙律必有的, 例如巴馬臣芝士、脆脆麵包粒及煙肉. 凱撒沙律醬汁份量是讓卷菜足夠地黏上, 不會過多. 顏色配搭好美啊~

水煮蠔配多士帶點cocktail style. 一口一件的size我就整件放入口啦~

Poached Oyster and Toast

黑魚子的點綴讓多士變得矜貴起來, 肥美的蠔肉雖被荷蘭醬包著, 但把多士放在鼻邊就會清晰地嗅到蠔味. 當然脆多士都沒人讓我失望, 一口就嚐到軟身的蠔和多士的脆, 相信沒有人不喜歡這口感.

慢煮豬腩肉 108 賣相有點像中式的脆皮燒肉, HAHA. 當然食法是截然不同吧, 因為Common Room配了自製蘋果楓蜜醬.

Slow braised pork belly

肥又何需怕? 一件半件, 食為先啦~ 以慢煮方式去烹調, 令肉熟透之餘仍然保持肉汁, 而看見的脂肪層其實都不肥膩, 軟滑得可愛.

另外, 我們還點了Slider Combo, 一客兩個, 一個是 portobello, 另一個是和牛鵝肝. 湊巧我不吃牛, 就和朋友一人一個.

好大的波特菇呀!! 自從某次在別的地方吃過portobello, 發覺幾好吃, 從此就對它不抗拒. 菇上加上牛油果醬、瑞士格魯耶爾芝士、芝麻菜作伴, 入口幾豐富, 味道也挺夾.

厚厚的菇令漢堡看來不迷你, HAHA.

很快就到甜品環節, 亦是我們最期待的. 因為知道這裏出名的是這款Cryo-Fried Vanilla Ice Cream . 那個球形物體好像巨型的橙, 若果沒有突起的幾點, 賣相會美觀很多.

Cryo-Fried Vanilla Ice Cream

這款甜品的吸引處就是店員會在客人面前把它點著, 火焰升得很高哩~ 要拍得最美一刻就要快手啊~

經過兩次 '點火', 接著可加入紅莓汁, 莓類真的很合我胃口.

切開後是仍然冰凍的呍尼嗱雪糕, 外層被火燒過的未有預期中的脆, 但也絕對不會太軟身或經莓汁浸著而發脹. 它, 讓我回想起兒時每個周末踏單車後, 媽媽總會為我們準備的雪糕卷蛋.

另一款甜品是Chocolate Pudding , 賣相極像心太軟.

Chocolate Pudding

內裏是軟心朱古力, 但絕非流心呀, 所以不應抱著吃心太軟的心態去品嚐它. 喜歡蛋糕濕潤的質地, 軟軟的, 朱古力味很濃郁, 好像在吃65%朱古力哩~

以上的食物、甜品及雞尾酒我都很喜歡, 無論是賣相、味道抑或是gimmick, 在中環來說是不個頗好的選擇.

今天是老婆仔的生日
在這裡再一次祝她生日快樂
一早已經預約好這間餐廳
是老婆仔想吃的餐廳
本來打算買個蛋糕在餐廳內慶祝
但致電時告知要收200元切餅費
他們建議可以試試他們的cheese cake
見他們的cheese cake也有很高評價
就跟從他們的建議吧
這間餐廳很有情調
淡黃的燈光
有一個吧台在旁
坐著的都是外國人
我之前已經做過資料搜集
已經記下了推介的食物
叫了個98元的Pulled Pork Poutine
以及一個98元的Slider Combo
另外再加了個98元的Classic Mac+Cheese
老婆仔說來到這些餐廳一定要叫個main dish
但其實不太能選下手
因為沒有什麼main dish是受推介的
最後要了個108元的Chef's Pasta Duo
當然還有cake
要了個68元的Bailey's & Coffee Cheese Cake

Pulled Pork Poutine

這個Pulled Pork Poutine果然是非常值得推介
是很有趣的製法
在傳統的芝士薯條上加上肉絲
那些是很有味道的肉絲
一般都是加上肉醬
沒想到加上肉絲竟有如此好的效果
而芝士也是剛剛好的溶化程度
不過略嫌薯條幼了一點

至於Slider Combo
是2個迷你的漢堡
一個是比較素的
有菜有蘑菇
不過那些醬汁很出色
蘑菇味非常突出
而另一個是牛肉漢堡
這個更吸引
牛肉製作得很香
醬汁同樣是配合得很好
只是太迷你了
差點想再叫一碟
不過老婆仔說留肚試試其他食物更好

Classic Mac+Cheese

Classic Mac+Cheese也是老婆仔期待的
是3小碗同樣的食物
應該是小的通粉加上芝士醬汁
不過那些芝士實在太美味
令通粉顯得不平凡
老婆仔也說是非常特別的食物
應該在其他地方不會吃到
不過吃著吃著卻覺得味道有點單調
所以再來的話不會再試

Chef's Pasta Duo

Chef's Pasta Duo在menu上沒有印著廚師推介
沒想到竟然是這麼奇怪的味道
分開2碟完全不同味道的麵
完全格格不入
一道是非常鹹一道是帶點辣
老婆仔都有點失望
這裡還是小食比較有名
在等食物送上的同時
我偷偷去廁所
向侍應要求在我點的cheese cake上加上蠟燭
好讓我能慶祝老婆仔生日
沒想到她們竟如此體貼
還幫我在蛋糕的碟上寫上happy birthday字樣
顯得非常高級
而事實上蛋糕也非常好味
微微的咖啡香
卻無損cheese cake應有的芝士味
實在值得一試
在這麼有氣氛的餐廳慶祝生日
真是個不錯的選擇
而餐廳侍應的配合
更能提升這個生日的難忘程度
他們也送上一杯酒
讓我們能好好慶祝一番
在這麼愉快的用餐過後
我送上我的禮物
老婆仔都很喜歡這份滿佈心思的禮物
