初嘗墨西哥菜
2019-03-21 532 views
近期朋友見介紹這間有好多菜式都有牛油果。所以好想試下。餐廳位置都算方便，在囍帖街附近好易搵到。店舖細細，佈置頗有特色，客人大多是外國人。其實我們都是第一次食墨西哥菜，不太知道點揀好，幸好這時有位侍應熱情地介紹給我們。Avocado Tostada用粟米餅做底，用牛油果醬做成玫瑰花，打咭影相最啱。Acocada Smoothie侍應建議我們share飲，因為好多客人一人一杯會飲剩。可能成杯飲會太漏。每人半杯剛剛好，幾fresh幾好飲。Super Nachos墨西哥脆片再配上蕃茄粒，洋蔥粒，肉碎，牛油果醬，sour cream等。Brocheta串燒好大串，可點醬汁包住食。Burrito / Burrito Bowl Supreme肉卷，可以選牛/豬/雞肉，可選辣或不辣。另外，還叫了Horchata, 似米醬，較甜，有淡淡肉桂味及Jarrito Cocktail,我們選了西柚味。甜品叫左個pancake,造型好可愛，內裡都有牛油果醬架。本來仲想試仙人掌的，侍應形容似濃味既秋葵。但都係有些少怕太草青味。下次有機會先試

初試墨西哥的喜悅
2016-05-19 743 views
跟著吃貨去找吃有著很好的享受，初次吃墨西哥菜都幾滿足。Super Nachos HKD138，用料包括牛油果醬、芝士、蕃茄粒、洋蔥粒、肉碎和Cream拌在脆片之上而吃，份量絶對一點都不少。 材料十足，脆片香脆之外，竟然是一點任何辣味，和平常所吃的Nachos是完全不一樣，感覺沒有辣味的Nachos又幾清新。 Agua Chile Shrimp HKD$168，賣相有點像泰式生蝦一樣，用上辣椒醬及青檸汁來腌製大蝦，放上青瓜和洋蔥拌碟，賣相不錯。 生蝦都幾大隻，蝦肉都幾晶瑩通透，生蝦口感不錯，味道酸酸地帶點辣味，確實是酸辣適中。 Oaxaca Cheese Fundido with Homemade Chorizo HKD$148，上等墨西哥特產瓦哈卡芝士 Oaxaca cheese 原來是從墨西哥空運來，加點自家秘制墨西哥辣肉腸而成 Chorizo ，放在鐵板上燒至溶化，配夾著粟米脆片而食，是墨西哥人在派對中的傳統美食。 芝士是必須要即時熱食，因為熱熱地的芝士還是軟身的，可以拉成芝士絲的狀態，涼了的芝士也會變得硬身了。夾著粟米脆片吃的芝士，不知是否芝士的份量不足夠，芝士味道有

 芝士是必須要即時熱食，因為熱熱地的芝士還是軟身的，可以拉成芝士絲的狀態，涼了的芝士也會變得硬身了。夾著粟米脆片吃的芝士，不知是否芝士的份量不足夠，芝士味道有點給粟米片的味道搶過了點，辣肉腸便在芝士和粟米脆片之中作了調味的作用。

 Seafood Paella HKD$328，原來是用上招牌七海湯煮成海鮮飯，色澤是橙色和帶甜味，加入海鮮大蝦、帶子、八爪魚、青口、蜆肉、魷魚等等來增加海鮮飯的鮮甜美味。

 墨西哥炒飯有點似西班牙炒飯，這個炒飯是用上七海湯煮成，色澤和味道當然是不一樣。不過吃下的米粒有點腍，不像粒粒米，海鮮材料十足，一口飯內都好多海鮮，口感十足，味道如七海湯一點甜甜地。

 Banana Split with Homemade Ice Cream HKD$68，墨西哥菜中都幾特別的甜品。選取較為生的墨西哥獨有品種的香蕉，焗熱後變成焦糖狀，伴著自雪糕而吃，必須要即食。

 焗熱成焦糖狀的香蕉蕉味都幾香又滑溜，自家製的粟米味雪糕清甜，香蕉拌著雪糕一起吃，又冷又熱的口感都幾特別，越吃越喜歡這香蕉的味道。

 Sangria HKD88，紅酒、雜果、糖漿、烈酒和梳打水來調製的Signature Cocktail，紅酒味清淡帶點水果的清香，是一杯很清香果味的紅酒飲品。

 Coquito HKD78，Rum酒配椰汁，椰汁味都幾香，口感有點像沙冰，然後又有Rum酒的烈，整杯飲品又不會很甜，吃下香辣的墨西哥菜，喝下一口有一種消熱感覺，難怪在墨西哥是如此流行的飲品之一。

 餐廳的裝修都幾有墨西哥味道，原來主廚也是來自墨西哥，所有食物都是主廚的家鄉菜。對於第1次食墨西哥菜，感覺都幾喜歡，食物不會只是辣味，原來都會有生的食物菜式。飲品味道都幾特別，有點像泰式和西式混合了一樣，都幾有新鮮感。價錢方面相對於食西餐高了點，但以那麼少數菜式來說又不算貴，如果不是朋友帶來，都不能食到墨西哥菜的味道。

     I got an iced lime soda. It was pretty good. Nice and cold, reasonably sized, with not too much sugar. Recommended, if you're into this sort of thing.

     One aspect I liked about the place was that they serve you free salsas-- 3 of them in fact. No free chips though. You just sort of have to stare at the salsa until your food comes, and then put it on if it's appropriate to what you ordered. Nevertheless, free is free, so thumb partially up. (But really? No chips?)

     I'm a native Texan and I happen to know that nachos are a Tex-Mex dish, and that authentically they have cheddar cheese on them. I think this is the Oaxacan cheese on the menu, which is also frequently used in nachos, but personally I disprefer it. I say all this not to dis the nachos, which are fine, but to counter some of the silly and counterproductive discourse people tend to have about "Mexican food."

    For example, on the "about' page for Verde Mar, designer Ricky Ho expresses his desire for "REAL Mexican food" and not "Americanize [sic] monstrosity." Well Ricky, some of the best Mexican cuisine is the Americanized stuff, and some of that stuff is on the menu here. Come over to the dark side.

    Oh yeah, but I was saying! The nachos! Yeah, they're fine. Chips aren't store-bought, so that's good. There's salsa for the chips that got unlucky and got no toppings. There are plenty of things appropriate to super nachos here: beans, tomatoes, guac, and we got ours with steak. More on that in a moment.

     I got three tacos: steak, al pastor, and carnitas. Here's some thoughts:

    Steak: you pay extra to get the steak. I'm guessing the steak is the skirt steak, which is sold on the menu as steak arrachera carne asada. A lot of places do steak poorly-- Cali-Mex has especially chewy steak-- but here the meat is reasonably tender. I did think the taco was a little bit lacking in flavor. In my opinion, a steak taco is best accompanied by caramelized onions and bell peppers. None of the tacos were personalized to the choice of meat: each just had some pico, some guac, and some cotija cheese. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this taco, I just thought it a little plain.

    Al pastor: the al pastor taco was the worst of the bunch, which is especially disappointing, as al pastor is the king of taco meats. While eating the taco it distinctly reminded me of some other really bad al pastor I had had, but I couldn't remember where. After researching a bit, now I realize it was Mr. Taco Truck, lol. Good al pastor is shaved off the crispy layer of pork on a rotating spit. This is not crispy or charred it's oddly mealy. My guess is that it's overtenderized by some pineapple marinade, but that's just an offhand guess. Not recommended.

    Carnitas: the thing that's so good about carnitas is the decadence. The pork is slow cooked until tender and juicy and falling apart, then fried in lots of oil til crispy. Or just the first thing, at least here. The pork here had a good flavor, but my wife especially was saddened that it didn't have the crispy, oily goodness of the best carnitas. Still, I liked this taco best of the ones I got.
    Wet Carnitas Burrito

     My wife got the wet carnitas burrito, and it was relatively massive, but mostly consisted of rice, as you can verify from the picture. No one needs that much rice at one sitting. The burrito also had corn and peas in it. I'm a little uncertain as to what this is supposed to be. I mean, it's not like there's some recognizable authentic Mexican dish that's a giant tortilla filled with 80% rice. That much filler was just unnecessary. My wife's view is that she'd rather get a burrito at Cali Mex or Little Burro. They've got better sauce, comparably mediocre carnitas, and you can get more non-filler stuff inside.

    I really had high expectations for this place going in. If there's one thing Ricky Ho knows, it's design. The place just looks like it's going to be good. (Cf. Mr. Taco Truck, which doesn't even sound like it's going to be good.) But in the end, the food shows up and you realize, it's just OK. It's Hong Kong Mexican food, but it's not the bottom of the barrel (*cough* El Gringo Loco *cough*). For the prices though, I think I'll stick to making tacos at home.
