Today was more of a celebration. It was my cousin's announcement of her marriage with my future cousin in-law. My relatives and I arrived at the cafe at 6:30pm. We were told that we would be served with buffet-styled dinner. The cafe offered many different cuisines from all around the world. I really enjoyed the dinner.

I took a walk to check out what was being servedd that night. My first stop was the salad bar. The bar offered many selections of FRESH salad. I chose the cesear salad with bacon bits and parmasan cheese. WOW!! It was a good start. cuisine. After that, I was hooked up with all the MEATS and seafood.. I selected prime ribs and lamb racks with Dijon mustard and mint jelly. The meats were cooked to perfection, they were medium rare. Honestly, I played safe. They both are premium type of meats, and so as long as they are not overcooked. It should be delicious and no surprises. With respect to seafood, I loved the baked oxyster with cheese. It was not spectacular, but was still very tasty. The dish was fresh, but the aroma from the cheese was not as strong as expected. The oxyster was the small kind, and of course it couldn't be compared with the ones in oxyster bars.

The best had still yet to come. It was not really from the buffet menu. It was foie gras, and was specifically orderd by my lovely cousin. I should say this was the highlight of the night. The foie gras was pan fried and it was cooked very juicy and slightly raw. The flavor stayed in my mouth for a very long time. This was how foie gras should be cooked. Excellent!! 10/10.

Other nice dishes would be: the sea bass, cooked sausages, the cold cuts, the soba and crepes with ice cream.

Dislikes: I was surprised with the grades and the freshness of the sashimi. It was acceptable, but the quality was not consistant with every rounds served.

The Ambience and the service was awesome. We ordered bottles of champagne, and house wines (red and white). They matched the food very well. Our waiter was nice. I asked for champagne, and it was kind of warm. He asked if I wanted some white wine instead. Exceptional service. The ambience was causal and yet it had elegant sided of it. and I think it would work well with romantic dining or business dining.

Remote environment, the landscape is not good, is the bridge block. Traffic is not easy. The restaurant is located on the second floor, but the space is narrow and seems to be in the corridors displaying a handful of tables and chairs will be closely Ma Ma into a restaurant, people crowded.

Service is only a general, first before the door a while seated after the closing discs slower, but not long enough (1200-0200) will automatically send the bill, I was surprised. However, the supplementary food was very fast speed.

Gourmet food in general has been discussed before. Style much. Only the Japanese sashimi, salmon and tuna, the chef, but a surprisingly generous amount. Although the fresh Unfortunately, the corner bit more fish. Other frozen shrimps , mussels and oysters can also be baked cheese bar.

Said first well of the dish. Curried beef (only a curry) very good, very fragrant anise flavor, accompanied by a pine aroma of pizza butter flavor Jingbu worse than the Indian restaurant! Noodles are excellent, and Japan did not eat a big difference. Another hot dirty Grilled onwards, also good fish fillets, mainly doing a more fragrant juice milky. other flavor dishes with sea bass in general, cattle Lei string, pig cartilage, duck breast, beef show, rice with soup (choice of various materials), oden (fish balls, hot dogs, etc.), tempura, chicken (cold plate), meat and salads. drinks are soft drinks, flavored ice, ginger tea, etc..

Desserts are tiramisu (too much cheese alcohol odor insufficient bottom of the cup water, actually a little almond flavor), ny cheesecake (I think not enough cheese), chocolate cake (rich, pure chocolate, a join walnut), caramel brûlée ( may be stored for too long, a little caramel smell), the Italian custard (more light, less than citysuper), drag the fat cake, raspberry cake, neither would not let me. In addition, there were several sections of fruit.

Overall, the food selection is not that much, the quality of flat, expensive ingredients is lacking, no surprises, I wonder whether anti-try other restaurants in the same hotel. Fortunately, the Hang Seng Card Jiuzhe!

在此先多謝OR，得以可以不用花任何的銀兩，就來享用酒店的自助餐，得知用餐的餐廳就是小時也吃過多遍的咖啡廳，就用這個機會，帶女友來懷緬一番，印象之中，日航的自助餐的質素是不賴的，但畢竟已經近七至八年沒有來過，所以也要吃過，才可再下定論。

自助餐是由六時半開始，可以吃至九時半，足有三個小時，但由於我們未能那麼早來到，唯有預訂七時半吧，在訂位的時候，店員告知用餐的區域可能跟放食物的地方較遠，其實也沒太大關係吧，畢竟人大了，吃自助餐時，不會如小時般如打仗的心態去搶攻，但怎知道，當店員引領我們到餐桌時，原來所謂的遠，其實就是要坐到另外一邊的走廊，感覺有點大牌檔，以一間酒店咖啡廳來說，這個安排是否有點有欠大體呢？

也不想太多了，迅速的去找吃的，雖然肚子是餓了，但仍是習慣先巡迴一周，才再去拿食物，發現全場最吸引的，就是鐵板燒及HD的雪糕，其餘的有壽司刺身、沙律冷盤、關東煮、冷麵、天婦羅、即煮湯粉麵、即炒意大利粉、各式西式熱盤、各式中式熱盤、中湯西湯及甜品等，另外也有較特別的芝士火鍋，而是夜的自助餐其實是有着一個主題的，就是黑松露之夜，很多的菜式都會加入黑松露，於我而言當然希望要一網打盡，但其實又談何容易。

除了有先巡迴一周這個習慣之外，本人另一個習慣是第一碟要拿的東西，一定是一碟以生的菜為主的沙律，所以先巡視了沙律冷盤，取了一些沙律菜及露荀，再加上點乾煙肉碎及芝士碎，再加點點黑醋橄欖油，然後也貪新鮮的拿了兩件黑松露菌凍，沙律菜達到了基本的要求，夠鮮嫩爽口，但黑醋橄欖油就不夠香，煙肉碎及芝士的味道也不強；露荀吃起來嫩綠無渣，但吃起來不夠爽身；黑松露菌凍的啫喱狀物有點湯味，但其味道就薄得很，而且內藏的金菇及冬菇滑潺潺的，黑松露菌的味道不明顯，本人真的不懂欣賞這塊東西。

之後吃的是冷盤了，在此多謝女友為我拿的長腳蟹鉗及燒牛肉，女友還幫我拆了蟹鉗內的肉，本來一啖吃大大塊的蟹肉，絕對是有說不出的妙，可是是夜的蟹鉗肉，有點粉泥鬆散，蟹味又薄，甜美度不足，雖然是回本之物，但真的是吃一隻已夠了；燒牛肉處於半生熟的狀態，牛肉吃起來有肉味而肉質不失細嫩，是不錯的。除了女友拿的蟹鉗及燒牛肉，也拿了刺身來吃，刺身供應四款食材，分別有三文魚、吞拿魚、鯛魚及八爪魚，個人對三文魚及八爪魚興趣不大，所以選了吞拿魚及鯛魚來吃，兩者入口尚算新鮮，肉質至少不霉，但論及肥美度，又真的未能拉上任何關係。

芝士焗生蠔，蠔有如蠔豉一般的細小，吃起來完全沒有什麼吃味可言，芝士味就普普通通，香味不濃，總體來說就是吃一隻就夠了；青口是烚過再放涼的，吃起來肉不太嫩而沒鮮味；另外的雜菜天婦羅炸漿明顯偏厚，在內其實不只有蔬菜，吃起來有如一層層薄的魚片，口感奇妙，吃味普通，真的不懂怎去形容；炸蝦基本上蘸上的不是天婦羅炸漿，而是麵包糠等的東西，這隻炸蝦手指外層炸漿夠脆又不算油，隻蝦雖然是細了點，可是還可以的；紫芋栗子薯餅有不錯的芋頭味，吃起來有一份自然的甜味，內粉外脆，算是不錯的一道。

之後也走了去鐵板燒的檔前，看看師傅的手勢，之後也任意的點了牛柳及魚柳，見食材一早切好粒粒狀，師傅手上的那兩把鏟根本跟鑊鏟沒分別，只是用來炒熟東西，所以之前沒有寄予厚望，師傅將牛柳及魚柳炒了一輪之後，再加了丁點黑松露，之後就上碟了，黑松露可能是受火受得過多了吧，吃起來不太香，吃起來更有如有不少鑊焦黏在食物表面，吃起來偏油又不香，牛肉沒有牛肉的油香，魚柳就很明顯的很軟腍，是雪藏貨式的表表者，其實本人也明白成本是一個因素，但雪藏魚柳處理得好，也不會弄得如斯口感的。

之後繼續來吃點日式的東西，先介紹一碗日式冷麵，由於不想吃太多，只取了半個麵團，怎知道師傅立時將另外的那一半扔掉，心想其實這可能也是無可厚非，但店家其實可以考慮將麵團的份量減半，豈不兩全其美，加了點日式冷麵甜醬油、紫菜、芝麻及薑蓉，一口吃下，醬油、紫菜、芝麻及薑蓉都沒有問題，味道清清甜甜的，可是那些麵條就腍得要命，用舌頭一壓就粉碎，完全沒有嚼頭可言，是浪費胃納的一道；之後來碗關東煮，有紅蘿蔔、白蘿蔔及日式魚蛋等，吃起來溫溫吞吞，魚蛋粉粉腍腍，蘿蔔就經過了千年的煮沸，軟得吃入口如陣風，無心之作，真的一口也嫌多。

之後吃點名貴的東西，先拿了一塊鵝肝黑松露，鵝肝入口有一陣肝臟的脂香，但黑松露的香味反而真的吃不出，另外那酸醋汁調得算不錯，可惜先天不足，相信是店家用的那枝意大利黑醋真的太過普通了，香味很低，所以這塊膽固醇，個人認為只值得為它犧牲一次咁多；另也吃了黑松露燉蛋，個人就覺得店家不如弄一客好的燉蛋會更好吃，雖然松露配蛋都是一個不錯的配搭，可惜店家下的松露有如一陣玻璃茨，配起流質的蛋來吃，口感更形模糊，為何要將其弄成茨汁呢？莫名其妙。

之後也轉攻另類一點的熱盤，芝士火鍋配上的是麵包及烚薯塊，麵包毫無生氣的，吃起來又腍又硬，沾上口感模糊又有點粉的芝士吃，其感受真的不足為外人道，反之烚薯塊有點驚喜，薯仔夠粉，吃起來又有薯香，這塊薯仔，算是久旱之中的甘露。之後也吃些中式的熱盤了，先來個粉葛瘦肉湯，喝起來啖啖也有粉葛味，而且肉味不淡，相信真的用上了真材實料來煲，個人認為是全夜最出色的一道之一；之後也吃了雲腿冬菇斑片，以雲腿、冬菇及斑片梅花間足的排列，雲腿吃起來有點鹹香，帶起了暮氣沉沉的冬菇及斑片，且茨汁也有點火腿味，令置底的竹生吃起來很香，配角變了主角。

中式的熱盤選擇不多，轉過頭來已經在吃西式的熱盤，打頭陣的是南瓜湯，南瓜湯喝起來有一陣沒有南瓜香的假甜味，而且湯稠身起來又一點忌廉香也沒有，真的喝中湯好過；另外每樣也吃一點，先談這個忌廉海鮮大雜會，用上忌廉汁煮青口、蝦仁、魚柳及魷魚，忌廉汁一點也不香，而且所謂的海鮮吃起來一點也不鮮，青口吃起來更有橡皮的感覺；黑松露茄汁斑塊又是另一以松露作招徠的菜式，同樣的是味道不搶，可能是茄汁跟松露的味道根本不夾，但吃起來酸酸的，魚柳又算有點咬口，不過軟已經算不錯的了；另外也是用上了黑松露的是黑松露忌廉焗三文魚，今回的效果比茄汁的要好得多，可能此處的忌廉味道夠薄吧，但值得一提的是那件三文魚是焗得半熟的，吃起來有點魚油的甘香，有點驚喜。

接下來的也是西式的熱盤，洋蔥汁煮慕尼克腸是很難煮得難吃的一道，果然吃起來沒什麼特別，慕尼克腸是正常的很軟腍，洋蔥汁偏淡，配起不太濃味的慕尼克腸又算不錯；另外也拿了一塊燒汁漢堡扒，雖然不期望它有什麼特別，純粹也是有殺錯無放過的心態，吃起來很面治牛肉般，味道又是不過不失；另外女友也點了一碟濃茄醬帶子炒意粉，意粉雖然跟Al dente有很大的距離，但至少不是煮得腍至發脹的麵條，加上茄醬確是夠濃，簡直有一濃遮三醜的功效，而數量稀少而又細粒的帶子就不吃也罷了，因為吃起來是彈牙得很厲害的，感覺很奇怪。

最後還未吃的熱盤只有咖哩雞、黑松露蜜糖豆炒帶子及腐皮魚肉卷，咖哩雞是油底的咖哩汁，吃起來是始料不及的香，當然要跟印度咖哩的香來比，就當然無得比，但以此汁來伴着雞件，是不錯的；黑松露蜜糖豆炒帶子又是那個老問題，黑松露味很稀薄，而帶子就有如之前那碟意粉的那模樣，質感怪異，蜜糖豆就飽滿而爽嫩，當吃點纖維是不錯的；腐皮魚肉卷的魚肉壓得過實沒空氣，吃起來就不太彈牙，加上魚肉香普通及炸得較乾身，所以也是不推介。

最後進入甜品的環節，此處的甜品環節個人認為較弱，愛吃甜品的人仕可能會比較失望，只得一個餅櫃，及一件件切好了一份份的蛋糕，雖然可說是為食客易取着想，但個人認為就吃得不太過癮了，任意的選了數件蛋糕，先來介紹栗子蛋糕，吃起來栗子忌廉既沒有栗子味，又沒有忌廉香，真經典，蛋糕吃起來不甚香綿，要比美心的更差；藍莓芝士餅芝士有不俗的芝士味，但就明顯不夠Creamy濃香，口感欠奉，加上芝士層跟蛋糕的比例相約，以芝士餅來說，都真的算經典；Tiramisu糕身濕得粉爛，但又沒甚酒香，芝士味比之前的芝士餅薄很多，而且又沒有蛋香，予人很不豐美的感覺。

芒果布甸最好吃的就是面層那數粒芒果肉，底層的芒果布甸就真的是很啫喱的布甸，有點很假的芒果味，而蛋香及奶香也不存，究竟店家知不知芒果布甸是怎做的？芒果糯米糍反之不錯，有點大品牌許記的影子，外層的椰絲夠香，內層煙韌有咬口有芒果味，加上中心那粒有芒果汁的果肉，是不錯的；雲呢拿慕絲吃起來不算太滑，但有點雲呢拿香，伴搭面層巧克力味不太濃的巧克力醬，試過就是了。吃過了多道甜品，以平均水準來計，真的很難相信自己是在吃酒店的甜品。

店家自製的甜品不濟，那當然最後要吃HD Icecream，只提供四款味道，分別是雲呢拿、士多啤梨、咖啡及巧克力，全晚沒有任何的Refill，但說也奇怪，又不是太多食客去取，可能大家要用盡九牛二虎之力才可吃到一個球的關係吧，所以間接打消他們吃多一點的念頭吧，但對我來說就沒什麼影響，吃了一個脆筒的及數杯雪糕，雪糕就也是一貫的味道，在此就不多談了，脆筒就偏腍，可能是放久了之故吧，另外喝的店家送了柑桔檸蜜及愛爾蘭咖啡，柑桔檸蜜味道很像即溶沖濟，有酸甜味而沒有柑桔檸的果味及蜜味的香甜；愛爾蘭咖啡用上了威士忌加糖加忌廉加咖啡，喝起來竟有驚喜，那忌廉既滑且厚，威力雖未至於貢茶，但至少有一刻那個感覺，再喝起來咖啡味雖然不濃，但威士忌的味道又跟咖啡味配合得不錯，是一杯怡人的餐後飲品，但要喝好一點的，店家在原材料方面就要好好改善了。

吃了那麼多食物，真的很飽，但根以往吃自助餐的比，又沒有以前的那麼辛苦，究竟是因為人大了在這方面節制了，還是食物質素不太行呢？無論如何，在此希望店家能扎扎實實的食物質素方面下手，個人認為食物的款式是吃自助餐的一大原因，但如果食物不好吃，又怎能吸引人來吃呢！希望店家可以回復昔日的光芒吧。
