Bisque | Lobster & Champagne (Closed)

相信大家 蠔吧就聽得多；龍蝦吧又有冇聽過呢？蘭桂芳一號的    正是吃主打龍蝦，大部分來貨加拿大。雖然對於海鮮我並冇特別的喜好，但我就如一般香港人一樣對於龍蝦是不能對抗拒的。Classic Lobster Bisque $98 以真材實料用上大量蝦膏烹調，質感濃稠，味道已超越了鮮甜，感覺如在吃蝦膏一樣，入口順滑，充滿罪惡感的龍蝦湯。我們對沙律挺有要求的，一般的Green salad 絕對不能滿足我們。頗有趣的是餐牌中會有日式沙律出現。Skiller Seared Yellow Fin Tina Fish $298 經燒過後的吞拿魚肉質變得結實，但也不失本身的鮮味。伴以牛油果、磨菇等。最特別是以味淋和日本豉油調出日式醬汁。完全沒有違和感。Steamed Mussels $270來自加拿大青口，肉厚鮮甜，白酒忌廉將青囗鮮味進一誘發出來，蒜香濃郁，入囗嫩滑，非常 creamy 好吃。終於來到期待已久的主菜部分 Lobster, Grilled with fresh herbs and garlic butter （approx 1.3/4 lbs) 非貼地價位，但吃過后會發現每份$768 是物有所值。首先賣相充滿壓台感，除了巨型龍蝦外，其餘的配菜色彩繽紛，令人挑起食慾。同様以來自加拿大龍蝦，大廚做這道菜也是別出心裁，運用了牛油及多種香草烤焗開邊龍蝦，但香味略蓋過龍蝦本身的鮮香，反而龍蝦鉗部分則保留原來們鮮甜，肉質細嫩，非常不俗。 continue reading

據說的酒吧近期生意麻麻，有經營多年的無奈地結業，如果在這地段只賣酒而沒有食物的話，實在很難生存。地舖確實難捱，樓上舖可能多一點吧!這幢商業大廈，樓上就有不少酒吧餐廳，這晚約了兩位好友，到大廈一樓吃龍蝦餐!開宗明義是一間賣龍蝦和香檳為主打的小酒館，內在面積不大，座位也不多，Cozy而寧靜。酒館老闆是加拿大人，對自己家鄉的食材便份外支持，所以店內用的龍蝦亦是來自加拿大。酒品選擇多，除了香檳和葡萄酒外，還有經典或自創的Cocktails。我偏愛Gin酒，這杯 ($150)，看似很輕很淡，實則上Gin份量也不輕，青檸汁和蛋白令整體感覺富微酸和滑。雖說是龍蝦餐，也不是只點龍蝦菜色的，不過，店內的食物也以海鮮類為主。先來一杯龍蝦湯，一隻咖啡杯的份量，但龍蝦味超濃郁，咸度跟奶油滑度配合得宜，入口不會覺得太咸，郤感到啖啖滑溜，另還有一串龍蝦肉浸在湯內，蝦肉爽口，浸了在湯後，更增添鮮甜。吞拿魚扒煮成半熟，外皮用火槍燒過，有微焦香, 可惜內層煮成熟了點，便失去了Juicy感覺，反而伴碟的牛油果沙律更美味和軟滑。原來不只是龍蝦，連藍青口也是來自加拿大，我很少吃加拿大青口，似乎比歐洲貨稍為大粒，而最值得一提的是個汁料，十分香滑，用來蘸法包就最適合了。店子以Open Kitchen形式設計，食客便可以看到廚師處理龍蝦的過程了。迷你龍蝦包一客三件，雖然是迷你包，但龍蝦肉大大粒的，十分爽口，加上蛋黃醬和牛油，七分邪惡，十分滋味。全隻加拿大龍蝦，一個人肯定吃不完，三個人分就剛剛好。龍蝦明顯用上大量的牛油、蒜蓉和香草去焗，香氣十足，蒜味尤其突出，而蝦肉上又鋪了不少麵包糠，目的是令肉質鬆化，但個人認為重手了些，如果麵包糠略為減少，效果會更好，如果要我評分，我會給這道龍蝦八分。這店的價錢略為進取，總體而言，食物水準尚可，我仍頗欣賞這店的用心，專心做龍蝦和海鮮，加上不錯的酒品，這店應該可成為一些人的蘭桂坊「私竇」。 continue reading

這間餐廳的地址很易記，就是在中環蘭桂坊1號的一樓，孖一，易找。 龍蝦雖不算我們最常吃海鮮的三甲，若說最喜歡應該會屬頭三位。 餐廳顧名思義是主打吃龍蝦和喝香檳。店主是加拿大人，店內的龍蝦主要是來自加拿大海峽，每天來貨： 店的面積不算太大，卻骨子，是蠻適合舉行私人派對的那類。半開放式廚房設計： 出面有個小露台，可以給人客喝喝酒，傾傾計： 每張枱已放有一支香檳，可作為裝飾，也可以開來飲。當然開咗就要計錢啦，若作為裝飾也可增添浪漫氣氛。 「Our Classic Lobster Bisque」$98 湯的味道是鮮濃到不得了，配上一條龍蝦肉插在湯內，漂亮。說真，光是喝那杯湯已是心機之作，再可以用它來拌多士吃。$98 一客，個人覺得是必點。 像一道沙律菜的「Skillet Seared Yellowfin Tuna Fillet」$298 吞拿魚用火灼至半熟，裏面仍保留嫩紅，切片後伴上牛油果片、菜絲，帶少許日本菜的 fusion 影子。我覺得就這樣吃會有點清淡，用旁邊的酸汁點來吃就醒胃得多。 「Mini Lobster Sliders」$340 四小個迷你龍蝦漢堡，蝦肉佐以蕃茄、清爽生菜和烘熱麵包，大廚配搭少許沙拉油來調味，令味覺多一重層次。三小口一個漢堡，不會令人吃得太飽，我也豪氣地用手把它整個吃掉。 「Steamed Canadian Blue Mussels」$270 鮮甜的煮物。汁料一定是這菜成功的一半，喝得出的鮮活，調味沒有手高眼低，又是可用來沾多士吃 (其實齋喝是最好的享受 XDDD) 青口肉不太大粒的，卻很嫩，在我來說肉嫩是比大小更重要。 「Whole Fresh New Brunswick Lobster - grilled with fresh herbs and garlic butter」$768 這裡的名物，怎能不潮拜一下？ 原隻約 2 磅重加拿大龍蝦開邊，夠三、四個人吃，伴大量蕃茄、蔬菜一大盤。蝦身已經起肉，加上香草與牛油同焗，有將肉的鮮味昇華。 拑的 size 比 iPhone 6 還要大！啖啖肉，誰不愛？ 近年越來越多朋友喜歡吃龍蝦，一來是它的美味，二來也是它的做法越來越普及和受歡迎。想浪漫地享受一下龍蝦的溫柔，可以來這裏。 continue reading

Bisque is a classy lobster and champagne fine dining restaurant located just at the bottom hill of Lan Kwai Fong. The dining area has 4 cozy round tailor made wooden table with a super chilled champagne bucket. On the other side, you may enjoy a few drinks on the terrace of building, overlooking the buzzing Lan Kwai Fong, the heart of this prosperous beautiful city, Hong Kong. A new cocktail menu has recently been in place to pair with the lobsters and other seafood items on the food menu. à mon amor (to my love) An egg white based drink made with G-vine Gin, St Germain, Apple Sour, Grape Juice. the sweetness and sourness perfectly balanced with each other with a slight bitterness from the bitter on the foam top. Bourbon Schrapps A stronger ice chilled cocktail made with Jack Daniels, peach schrapps, chambord, basil leaves. Refreshing with a kick to start your night. Baked raspberry point oysters $430/6pc Bisque stopped serving raw oysters but these baked freshly shucked oysters were just as good. We started with this sweeter and creamier oysters topped with Philippine mango, tomato concassé, mixed peppers, purple onions and fresh cilantro topped with a Parmesan white wine béchamel. The topping was really cheesy and creamy, yet not too overpowering. Classic baked oysters 'a la Rockefeller' $430/6pc Then some more Atlantic oysters topped with original recipe of fresh herbs, parsley and garlic butter, baked until golden. The sauce in this oyster is a bit sour like the Italian dressing, with a strong mixed herb flavour. The fresh oysters were plumped and juicy, not a bad way to start our meal with! Classic lobster bisque $98/cup , $220/bowl The signature dish from the restaurant prepared by using only lobster head, meat and shell and it takes 2 days to prepare with 9 hours cooking with some fresh cream. Then using a big blender imported from Spain to blend 3 times until very smooth before sifting until very fine. Finish with a little bit extra cream at the end. The very rich and heavy soup was serves with a piece of buttery toasted bread, poached lobster claws, and creme fraiche. Pan seared US jumbo scallops $370 The al dente linguine pasta served with black truffle, fresh Italian parsley and sugar peas in a heavy, buttery and creamy sauce. A few truffle was being used including some grind truffle, truffle pieces and some truffle oil drizzled all over before serving. The serving size was pretty generous because the dishes at Bisque is meant for sharing. Whole fresh New Brunswick lobster approx. 1 3/4 lbs live weight $768 Brunswick lobster tasted slightly different from Boston lobsters with a softer texture and a lighter sea water taste in my opinion. You may choose either steamed or grilled and we have chosen the latter one which is grilled with fresh herbs and garlic butter. Besides, there was quite a few choices for sided veggies including baby corns, snow peas, cream spinach, tomatoes on vines, and young beautifully roasted golden brown potatoes. The lobsters had been grilled until perfection with the flesh being pulled right off the shell easily. The whole piece was covered in garlic, herbs and a layer of crumbly bread crumbs to create a nice golden crunch on the surface. The very on-point roasted young potatoes were another highlight of the dish with an aromatic peppery rosemary flavour rushing through the buttery and powdery texture of the starch. Vanilla peach & apple crumble $98 It then came to the end of our meal with a sweet finish. A bowl of crumble goodness prepared with a mixed of fruits including green apple, peaches, bing cherries with vanilla essence, topped with a layer of oat based crumble crust, served with some fresh sweet pouring cream on the side. The tartness from the cherries complimented nicely with the sweet finish from the soft peaches, not too sweet but you may still find the slightly burnt caramelised flavour from the sugar. Double espressoNothing beats a good cup of espresso after a very satisfying meal. The aromatic cup was served with a cute little piece of chocolate biscotti, just a beautiful finish to a fancy dining experience.
