香港,有很多有錢人,而那些有錢人,總愛找一個比較 private的飲食及宴樂地點,所以,造就了會所餐廳的出現。根據朋友口中的非正式估計,整個香港,已經有過百間私人會所可提供飲食服務。是次,有公司的合作夥伴做主請客,請我們來到一個非常之難進入的一個上等人會所,這會所,更是位於香港其中一家富有歷史性的大樓裡面。在古色古香的舊中國銀行大廈裡面。這是個什麼會所呢? 這是一家很典雅也很高級的會所,名字就很簡單地,稱為《中國會》。更顯其貴氣,此會設有專用的電梯直達,若你只是閒雜人等,連上去望一望既機會都沒有。再貴氣一點,就是 "衣履不整,恕不招待",仲耍連穿 Polo 衫都唔俾入,果真是一個十分高級的會所。工作日,我是穿恤衫西褲的,所以我可以進入。Lift,直達會所,而一出 lift 門,就令我深深地感受到一種老香港、老上海的那一種富有西方色彩的中式典雅。樓梯是通往上層的油吧及 club house 的。這一條方型的樓梯,配合了牆上油畫,這一個場景,有少少令你走入了老上海、老香港的一般,宋氏三姊妹會穿著旗袍,儀態萬千地一步一步走下來。說明是《中國會》,牆上的油畫,牆上的仿真畫,都是充滿著中國的氣色

再推門而進,就是《中國會》的中菜廳大堂,其設計就是很典雅的中國風,據說,這《中國會》的設計,是參考了上海的《和平飯店》,不過,在我感覺上這不伯十足的《和平飯店》感覺,而是《中國會》營造出來的民初時代香港感覺。

合作夥伴訂了位,而我們的位就在拉麵師父的面前,人未齊,我一個人看著拉麵師父在表演,表演即叫即拉即煮的拉麵.....不過,是日有人請客,吃什麼,全由人家決定,所以,我並沒有機會吃到這兒最好最撚手的菜式。

用餐的地點高貴,連茶具也營造出一定切性的典雅感覺。若是所有碗碟都用上了高貴的瓷具,會是更加之高尚典雅。不過,我們坐在大廳飲茶食中午飯,用的可能會普通少少,若是在包箱房或晚飯宴席,用的餐具也許會不一樣。

這一次由於是人家請客,而且我們又不是什麼大客,所以我們只品味點心。在有足夠貴氣的餐廳,除非是客人要求,點心及食品是不會一籠一籠式一大碟地擺上檯的,而是預先分好,包保一人有一件。

這兒的點心,雖不算是太精緻,但看起來,都是水準不錯的。先來的點心,就是一條很精緻的叉燒酥,入口,的確是一層一層的酥油香及入口即化,而且內裡塞滿了美妙的叉燒粒,而且當中的叉燒醬亦十分之香甜,令我食得出,這兒食物的賣相一般,味道卻是有水準。

紅油抄手,就是辣椒油加帶北方色彩的菜肉雲吞,而辣油,就是我們廣東式的辣椒油,是很香港人味道的紅油抄手。辣度是一般香港人能接受到的,而雲吞入口很滑,餡料也夠香,雖不是十分之出色,但這令大眾香港人接受的味道,已經是可能大叫好的一個味道。

蝦餃,做得很細緻美觀,而餡卻是很傳統的碎蝦加荀絲,再有少少肥豬肉來增強味道,這樣的傳統蝦餃,比起好多標榜鮮蝦大餃的酒樓,一隻餃有幾隻原蝦的來得更香口味美。

咖喱魷魚加魚蛋,那一層咖喱很香很滑,而且一看就知道這不是一般香港式的辣椒油咖喱,入口不太辣,而且很有印度式 Korma 咖喱 feel。水魷十分之爽口,而且魷魚夠大隻,十分之有咬口,而魚蛋沾上了這一艇咖喱汁,很有另一般的感覺,在此,我可以說,這真不錯。

很典雅的飲食環境,帶點高尚的中式飲食感覺,絕對能令到訪者感染到《中國會》的獨特貴氣,如果可以再來,真真正正地吃晚餐,品味到這兒的名菜的話,我一定會再評。再者,這兒的 membership,不是說拿就拿的,雖然有旁門左道可以取得會籍,但你我也知道,是價值不非的,所以這會,特別的高貴。大家若有機會來沾一沾貴氣,絕對是好事。

中國會,一間只限會員用的會所,位於中銀大廈13和14樓,兩層以樓梯相連,還有會員專用的電梯。今晚有幸到此飲宴,順利記錄「所見所食」。非會員如果不是來飲宴,應該沒法進內。為甚麼?因為入口不是中銀大廈的大堂電梯,而是大廈邊的橫街。電梯又分兩種,一種限會員使用,電梯內滿是老夫子漫畫,可以直達13樓。一出去,有專人負責的衣帽間,和一塊寫有「穿衣準則」的牌。另一種應該是供非會員前來參加飲宴時用,雖然這電梯也是到13樓,但外面只見數張沙發,另加幾名司機在吹水,並沒有任何指示牌,一牆之格,真的有點以前「階級主義」的感覺!五小碟炸釀鮮蟹蓋脆皮炸子雞蠔皇原隻鮑魚鵝掌太史五蛇羹其實中國會的出品整體而言不錯,好幾道菜也頗有水準。例如炸釀鮮蟹蓋,蟹肉豐富,高湯帶出蟹的鮮味,沒有太多討厭的「粉」。蠔皇原隻鮑魚鵝掌,鮑魚非常鮮美,煮得入味,齒頰留香。脆皮炸子雞居然配很少吃得到的「戈乍」,還做得不錯!不過,因為支持「不吃魚翅」活動的原故,選擇太史五蛇羹,而放棄了魚翅。結果,蛇肉切得太幼、太碎,沒有傳統的味道。整碗蛇羹又鹹到根本不能下嚥,是整晚的一大敗筆!中國會整體環境不錯,上下層由樓梯連接,牆上掛著不少富有中國氣息

其實中國會的出品整體而言不錯,好幾道菜也頗有水準。例如炸釀鮮蟹蓋,蟹肉豐富,高湯帶出蟹的鮮味,沒有太多討厭的「粉」。蠔皇原隻鮑魚鵝掌,鮑魚非常鮮美,煮得入味,齒頰留香。脆皮炸子雞居然配很少吃得到的「戈乍」,還做得不錯!不過,因為支持「不吃魚翅」活動的原故,選擇太史五蛇羹,而放棄了魚翅。結果,蛇肉切得太幼、太碎,沒有傳統的味道。整碗蛇羹又鹹到根本不能下嚥,是整晚的一大敗筆!

葡萄酒入口商美隆堡為澳洲酒莊Mollydooker在China Club攪wine lunch,有幸成為座上客。抱歉我掛住同莊主夫人傾計,沒有每一道菜都影相。Mollydooker的酒以紅酒為主,只有一支Violinist是白酒。這支是verdelho這種較少在澳洲種的葡萄來造,造得相當不錯,非常清爽,clean finish 。當然多數點心是配白酒較好,而China Club的點心也十分高水準。那雲南對菌餃,肉裡的汁不會比鼎泰豐小籠包遜色。而那個春卷,肉裡的溫度keep到好耐,放了一段時間仍好食。叉燒算是中上水準,再稔一點我會更喜歡。鎮江焗肉排造得醒胃而不太酸,肉質鬆軟。北京填鴨皮也脆,但佢有人幫手分埋夾埋。我自已鍾意自已夾多DD。西蘭花牛柳粒及雞粒蛋白炒飯都有水準。菜單好明顯要就以紅酒為主的酒單。但總括來說,菜式並沒有很特別,都係基本野,但那才見到廚師的功夫是真材實料!

Almaviva wines are hitting the global wine scene with such a big splash and mysterious allure lately, as it is a Chilean Winery from Maipo Valley from a partnering venture between the Titans, wine makers Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Chile’s own Concha Y Toro. Two Wine giants each with their own expertise and are steeped in history, carrying individual knowledge about the trade, and with substantial wine making techniques know-hows and thorough understanding of the terroir’s background. An analogy is like carmaker Honda having a JV agreement with Thailand - Japan has the expertise, but Thailand has the land resources, cheaper labour and tax-free agreements with exporting countries. Except in this particular instance, the relationship was a lot closer. Both sides knew wines back to front dating back decades or more.. You could see so much potential hidden in such a partnership.

Almaviva Verticals - 1998, 2001, 2008, 2010 and a 2009 off-screen
This Chilean Winery is still relatively new established, the Vinification is undergoing fine-tuning over different vintages in order to understand the terroir’s potential. This might involve unforeseeable annual climate changes and differential ramping rates, effects from the El Ninos, playing with different grapes blending which is slightly Bordeaux clarets referenced, different Oak barrels to be used, etc. I am sure I missed a few things too. With so many variables that can finally affect the outcome it will take them some experimentations and blind guesses to be extrapolated from past experiences. I heard wines need many years to develop and to show it’s final potential, spanning over decades of aging - and there were definitely variations between various vintages and as exhibited in the glasses over time. Many vintages tasted quite diversely different not just from difference of age and differences in production method, grape blending and natural phenomenon effects, they also developed differently over time within just the glass today, it was definitely confusing. If I studied probability algorithm enough during high school, I wish I knew about the multiplying rule and would have won my Lottery with my right combination of 6 numbers this week and can retire to buy some nice Burgs! This was very eye-opening, the latter 2008 and 2009 vintages showcased a lot of transitional progress resulting from undergoing finer retuning, with better balance and potential. The 2010 surprisingly side-stepped with a quite new world and much more violet fruity and new oak presence which I thought was going slightly backwards unless it was climate related to come to this direction. On the other hand older aged wines especially the 1998 was subtly elegant. The 2001 had the most distinct minty-herbaceous nose but one of the favourites on the day. The 2009 vintage was similar to the 1998 with elegance, elegant, but carrying more White Peppery note and chosen by renowned Food Critic Walter Kei to pair with most dishes today. Most wines had 1 hour decanting prior. I am not a qualified Wine Writer, it was mostly my self-learning observation from a big Alcoholic’s point of view. Especially when everything changed during the course of things and I was becoming a little lost. Got a bit lost within the tasting but it was fun.

BBQ Charsiu Pork (叉燒) -
Seemed a little dense today and wasn’t using the same exclusively trimmed Chuck Loin muscle at Island Tang. But I actually liked that this wasn’t overly Tenderized unlike the Island Tang’s pre-frozen and soaked tenderized version ~ 6/10 Sautéed String Beans with Minced Pork (乾煸四季豆) - A Sichuan dish here served without much hot chili, quite decent in a Cantonese interpreted way ~ 7/10 Jelly Fish (海蜇) - Crunchy and quite Cantonese in that they don’t use the crunchier Head part like on the Eastern Coast and not too white peppery ~ 7/10 Roasted Suckling Pig (燒乳豬) - This was actually really nice with a thin crispy skin. I simply wanted more at that stage as it worked so well with the wines ~ 9/10

Fried Salted Egg Yolk Prawns (黃金蝦球) -
Fried non-oily with a nice buttery and salted yolk coating. The prawns were really crunchy with great prawns taste. Quite balanced. On theory it doesn’t work well with bold red wines, but I personally thought it paired with the more violet and oaky 2010 Almaviva, may be it didn’t clashed with or covered the oily flavours and greasiness ~ 8/10

Braised Hairy Marrow with Conpoy (瑤柱節瓜甫) -
Dried scallops with a cooked cucumber-like veggie, a typical local Cantonese dish. It was simple and cooked well enough. Usually these are hollowed out with a circular mould then stuffed with conpoy. This one today was just topped with Conpoy as a variation… You can sometimes find it during Wedding Banquets or Chinese New Year dishes ~ 7/10

Sauteed Diced Angus Beef with Broccoli -
The beef were a little too tenderized and have lost their real beef flavours, but I am so used to this from living overseas, at least it was sliced thickly here. I often say that China Club is aimed at Westerners than Chinese customers because of this, it is just so compromisingly aiming to strike the balance for everyone, but texture presided over real beef taste. This was quite Cantonese with the slightly starchy sauce coating - which is meant to give it more smoothness. At least the cubes were thick enough for being bitey but just. A little too Chinatown like ~ 6/10

Chilled Sago Cream, with Mango and Pomelo with 椰果 Coconut Gelatin (楊枝甘露)-
I don’t know how to translate the 椰果 bit into English as I never gave it much thought and it is not a usual add-on in this modern fruity dessert soup. It does give it more bitey texture contrast. Acetobacter isn’t too alien to those who drink Taiwanese bubble teas. But apparently it is some sort of Acetic Acid Bacteria gelatinized in Coconut Water. Judging from a normal 楊枝甘露 soup with Pomelo, Mango, Cream/Coconut Cream and Sago dessert point of view, this needed more Mango and Pomelo. The version eaten at sister restaurant Island Tang had almost the same problem with being too creamily milky. As more of a Summery dessert, some of the shops in HK serves this with a mango granita ice in the dessert soup for soothing effect. Such as the one at: 口甜舌滑 Mrs. Sweetie ~ 5/10

收到法國駐港某機構的邀請,在一個氣溫超過三十度的下午,要穿著整套老西,到中環舊中國銀行大廈的中國會,參加一個法國酒與中國點心的配搭試食會。曾聽聞中國會的幕後,是愛飲爵士湯的鄧爵士後人主理,品味非凡,從升降機內的「老夫子」漫畫連環圖,以至接待處和用餐區,都顯示出獨特的眼光和品味,裝修,壁畫,擺設都像回到數十年前的中國,還加了現代藝術的元素,而且色彩都多用中國紅,很有社會主義 feel,這一切一切,莫說是對外國人來說會感新奇,對於我這 Baby-boomer 來說,也感富有新意。是日大會預備了八種個性各有特色的紅白葡萄酒,用來配搭中式點心,個人來說,此配搭也許適合久不久來港吃一餐點心的外國人,但對於本土人仕,吃點心配美酒,則如鳳毛麟角,遠不及開壺靚普洱實際。八款美酒配八款點心,適合與否?見仁見智。雲南野菌餃 晶瑩通透的餃皮,清楚可看到裏面的切碎菰菌,豐盛飽滿,味道清淡而富菌香,是健康之食品。蟹子蒸燒賣 喜歡燒賣有濃郁的冬菇香味,肉質有咬口而多汁,放面的蟹子不會因蒸熟而變啞色,上品。紅油韭菜抄手 辣油下得不算重,韭菜味香濃,與紅油的味道互相衝激,相當不錯,唯與酒的配合則不敢苟同!蜂巢炸

收到法國駐港某機構的邀請,在一個氣溫超過三十度的下午,要穿著整套老西,到中環舊中國銀行大廈的中國會,參加一個法國酒與中國點心的配搭試食會。

曾聽聞中國會的幕後,是愛飲爵士湯的鄧爵士後人主理,品味非凡,從升降機內的「老夫子」漫畫連環圖,以至接待處和用餐區,都顯示出獨特的眼光和品味,裝修,壁畫,擺設都像回到數十年前的中國,還加了現代藝術的元素,而且色彩都多用中國紅,很有社會主義 feel,這一切一切,莫說是對外國人來說會感新奇,對於我這 Baby-boomer 來說,也感富有新意。

是日大會預備了八種個性各有特色的紅白葡萄酒,用來配搭中式點心,個人來說,此配搭也許適合久不久來港吃一餐點心的外國人,但對於本土人仕,吃點心配美酒,則如鳳毛麟角,遠不及開壺靚普洱實際。

八款美酒配八款點心,適合與否?見仁見智。
雲南野菌餃 晶瑩通透的餃皮,清楚可看到裏面的切碎菰菌,豐盛飽滿,味道清淡而富菌香,是健康之食品。
蟹子蒸燒賣 喜歡燒賣有濃郁的冬菇香味,肉質有咬口而多汁,放面的蟹子不會因蒸熟而變啞色,上品。
紅油韭菜抄手 辣油下得不算重,韭菜味香濃,與紅油的味道互相衝激,相當不錯,唯與酒的配合則不敢苟同!
蜂巢炸芋角 名符其實,外層炸得像蜂巢般鬆化,絲絲的網狀外表極美麗,主要餡料是芋蓉,淺紫顏色很迷人,亦有芋香,其餘餡料如肉粒蝦米等亦很好味。
小籠包 雖不是皮薄,但是餡靚,也有肉汁。
韭菜豬紅 沒有吃此味菜多年,久別重逢,別有滋味,豬紅軟滑,久不久吃一次也可。
乾炒牛河 最愛吃乾炒牛河,河粉幼細滑溜,配上半生而爽脆的洋蔥、銀芽,而牛肉亦醃得入味和不韌,老抽醬油的味道下得恰當,炒得很有水準。
香茜叉燒腸粉 腸粉皮外表拉得順滑通透,唯吃至尾段口中有粉末微粒,未夠滑,叉燒和香茜可口。

工作人員服務水準甚高,非常體貼到位,而工作服亦甚有新中國色彩,在此美侖美奐的環境享受美食,舒適典雅,絕不讓其他國家會所專美。

恕我孤陋寡聞,是次若非獲邀到中國會,都不知道有這樣的一個會所,說實在,我壓根兒連鄧永鏘(「上海灘」中式服裝店創辦人,也是這餐廳的發起人之一,其餘的發起人還包括已故全國政協常委徐展堂和全國政協委員李大壯等。)是誰也不知曉。細心查看下,才得這間位於舊中銀大廈的會所餐廳早於一九九一年創辦,已有差不多二十年歷史,更曾獲選為美國《福布斯》雜誌選為全球十大名人飯堂之一。 中國會只招待會員,平日多為商家政客食中式早餐的地方,亦有晚市中菜提供,但要說最愛歡迎的,便是我這次有幸一嘗的星期六中午提供的自助餐,滿座情況經常出現,必須預約,至於要排多久就不得而知了(我不過是被邀而已 )。這天中午十二時多到達舊中銀大廈,大廈底層已放有中國會的告示牌,只要跟著指示不難找到升降機的位置,直達十三樓的中國會餐廳。升降機三面也貼有王澤得意之作老夫子的真跡,而當中所選作品全和食物有關,十分有趣幽默,對餐廳亦多了一分好感。到達十三樓,升降機一開便有兩名侍應在守候,向她們告訴訂位資料後,便能內進。不得不提,這裡的衣服限制甚為嚴謹,同行中的一位親屬更一度被誤穿polo shirt而被要求換上會所提供的西裝上衣,但最後亦能順利內

(我不過是被邀而已 )。
這天中午十二時多到達舊中銀大廈,大廈底層已放有中國會的告示牌,只要跟著指示不難找到升降機的位置,直達十三樓的中國會餐廳。

到達十三樓,升降機一開便有兩名侍應在守候,向她們告訴訂位資料後,便能內進。不得不提,這裡的衣服限制甚為嚴謹,同行中的一位親屬更一度被誤穿polo shirt而被要求換上會所提供的西裝上衣
,但最後亦能順利內進。
衣著要求有點過份嚴謹,唯現場可見不少外籍人士也沒有跟隨…

餐廳內的裝潢甚為特別,很有中國的味道,樓底很高配上大風扇和吊燈,空間感十足
,環境古色古香,當中又不乏古董飾物和名家字畫,就連餐桌上的餐具也非常別緻,每只碟子也印有中國會的標誌,氣勢非凡。

坐下不久,侍應便按要求提供茶水,看時間也不早了,我當然先到場中走一圈,巡視一下食物的種類。有別於一般自助餐,中國會的只有中式食物提供,如你的目標是日式刺壽司和燒牛肉,恕會要閣下失望了
,然而款式也沒因此而變得單調,只要其中一項剩下少許,侍應便火速換上新一頂,而當中的款式會不停改變,新鮮感不斷。

除了一些較普通的油樓菜色(如蜜豆炒鮮魷、炒腸粉、西蘭花炒帶子和咕嚕肉等)和點心(蝦餃、燒賣、包類和素餃等),中國會的賣點之一是他們還會不時呈上較貴價的食物
,如清蒸大海魚(總共出了三次,每次也是不同的魚類,包括班和青衣)、陳皮蒸原隻鮑魚海參鮑魚鵝掌焗釀蟹蓋炸蟹鉗中形蒜蓉龍蝦炸蠔扇貝蟶子等。值得一題的是當中也有少見的片皮鴨


小菜之外,當然不少得的是中式麵檔粥品,所提供的配料亦相當豐富,帶子、各種丸類、魚塊、豬潤、豬腸、蔬菜、生蝦等,應有盡有。


餐廳中還設有冷盤區,內容包括皮蛋、潮州鹵味、燒臘和迷你波羅凍蝦杯等。

甜品則有芝麻糕、芒果糯米卷、擂沙湯丸和豆腐花、楊枝甘露等傳統中式甜點,旁邊又設有形形式式的小曲奇,要說特別的是他們提供了沙冰,可配上涼粉紅豆和鮮奶等製成消暑的夏日飲料。
另設生果部份,提供一些時令的水果,如是次就有荔枝、芒果和西瓜等。

只因胃納有限,試了的菜式不算很多,然而所試的質素也不錯,大路的酒樓小菜點心就不在此提了,只寫出幾項個人認為屬水準以上之作。先是陳皮蒸鮑魚,陳皮味香濃己不在話下,鮑魚的大小是最令人驚喜的
,甚至比連著的殼還要大,真的很誇張,而鮑魚亦和殼緊緊相連,難分難離,本人亦花了不少氣力少能把他倆分開,新鮮的程度不言而喻
,咬下去,鮑魚嚼勁十足,鮮香非常,至今仍回味無窮。

另一重點推介的是焗釀蟹蓋,面層下了相信是麵包糠之物,令成品焗後變得外脆,而內裡的蟹肉混合了像是忌廉的奶品,蟹肉亦放得滿滿的,吃起來啖啖肉又有到滑溜奶香,是很給力的一道。

總共出了三次的清蒸大海魚,每條也很厚肉,尤以第一條的最為出色,肉質細嫩香滑,魚香味濃,還有點入口即融的感覺
,難怪我每逄有新一尾魚端出,也忍不住盛了不少回位。


炸蠔的大小又是大得令人驚訝,炸粉不算厚,而蠔的肉質極為肥美,吠下去,肉汁在口中傾瀉而出,鮮香油腴又沒帶有腥味,連不嗜蠔的媽媽也對它讚不絕口。
炸蠔大小亦非同小可

其實當中的冷盤和部份點心也做得很有水準,迷你波羅凍蝦杯更讓我encore了三回。
然而甜品區則是較因失色的一環,質素中規中舉,未能令人留下印象,小曲奇更是平平無奇,眼見亦是無人問津的一項。
至於服務方問是相當令人滿意的,收碟快之餘對於要求亦很配合,侍應笑容可鞠
,又會向客人介紹不同的菜色,態度滿分。

助餐,讓我大開眼介之餘味蕾亦因此而大為滿足,鮑魚和焗釀蟹蓋等到今仍在回味當中,實在要再三多謝請客者為我們帶來這頓滿意又愉快的聚餐。

是次自助餐的收費是每人$388(另加一),個人覺得是合理得令人發笑,只是說精心佈置的中國古典環境裝潢和服務已不至這個價錢,更別論是在租金高昂的中環和種種水準佳餚了!

中國會既自助餐只係星期六午餐先有,因為好爆,所以要一早訂位。有幸地被邀請黎依間私人會所品嚐全港獨一無二既純中式自助餐,小弟真係榮幸非常,感激萬分。第一次黎食已經愛上佢既食物,更順理成章成為我最喜愛的buffet添。一入就被好靚既老夫子漫畫圍繞住,非常親切。感受到中國會咁支持本地創作,好感動。到達十三樓,一出門就有幾位姐姐仔熱情地幫我地收摭,帶我地入坐。唔知係咪陰天既關係,室內既燈光比較暗。行入餐廳時,經過一個好有五六十年代feel既電話間,擺放住轉輪式既電話,好似時光倒流咁。接待處其他既裝飾擺設都好靚,其中一個係圖中既"美女魚池"。餐廳入面既格局好似舊式茶樓,尤其係頭頂嗰把風扇。大家留意吓,連侍應們既服裝都係同一個style架,真係非常襯托中式自助餐個主題。點解一個最怕自助餐既我會咁欣賞依餐呢?好簡單:用料新鮮質優,食物攞出黎時好夠滾熱辣,好多重要係即叫即做;增添食物時更會不時推出新菜式,好有驚喜。 冷盤有皮蛋,煎糕,鍋貼,豬腳仔,薰蹄,叉燒,芋角,咸水角,蓮藕餅等等:因為依類食物太易飽肚,所以小弟當日主攻其他熱食。唔忍得口既我見到D皮蛋色澤咁靚又咁流心都食左半隻:mmm... 超

點解一個最怕自助餐既我會咁欣賞依餐呢?好簡單:用料新鮮質優,食物攞出黎時好夠滾熱辣,好多重要係即叫即做;增添食物時更會不時推出新菜式,好有驚喜。

 冷盤有皮蛋,煎糕,鍋貼,豬腳仔,薰蹄,叉燒,芋角,咸水角,蓮藕餅等等:因為依類食物太易飽肚,所以小弟當日主攻其他熱食。唔忍得口既我見到D皮蛋色澤咁靚又咁流心都食左半隻:mmm... 超級糖心,自己喺街真係未必買倒。

 熱食當然唔少得喺西方人眼中最中式既點心啦:新鮮蒸出黎,皮薄餡靚唔黏牙,味道唔錯。

 小菜都有好幾款:咕嚕肉,琵琶豆腐,翠玉瓜炒牛肉,炒雞絲配花膠絲,鵝掌(應例為大餸?),鮑魚菇唐生菜等等:煮得好夠鑊氣;雖然一路喺暖爐上,但係肉質唔會因而變乾變老,獻汁又唔一pat pat;青菜都有好幾碟選擇,愛食菜既哥哥話非常清脆爽口,"正菜"?


 肉食中最出眾既都可算係片皮鴨:獨立既檔位有專人帶住手套企喺到為客人"片鴨",加醬油同大蒜包製。隻鴨重有煙出架,所以"片鴨"絕對唔容易,應該幾辣手。鴨本身唔肥,亦唔嚡,咬落好juicy;如果大家好似我咁怕食包食飽,係可以叫哥哥仔淨比鴨肉,甜醬,同大蒜既。

 嘩,好多海鮮呀:原條蒸魚,鮑魚,蟶子,避風塘炒蟹,乾煎蝦碌等。海鮮係最值回票價既,唔使問,小弟更係食到唔停得口啦。所有海鮮都好鮮甜,一d都唔腥,煮得亦唔會過熟,冇得彈。大家最好襯熱食,因為好搶手架。

 一定要向大家推介既係個粥檔,即叫即煲,粥料真係好足料
,有豬腰,豬膶,豬紅,豬皮,牛肉,豬肉,雞肉,肉丸,墨魚丸等等比大家揀。唔怕膽固醇高既朋友一定要叫返碗蝦膏粥黎試下:粥底本身好夠味,蝦膏好鮮甜,真係冇得頂,媽媽既favourite也。

 甜品都好多款:有好甜既生果(當日最正既係芒果),煎推,牛油皮蛋撻仔,椰汁糕,紅棗糕等等。最正既係即撞豆腐花,有專人分,所以桶內既豆腐花唔會爛哂。熱辣辣既豆腐花清香嫩滑,正!

後記:
1) 值得一讚既係每當有客人唔小心整跌食物時,好快就會有人清理,效率奇高;地方永遠都有人觀察住,唔會污糟,非常衛生。
2) 好難得小弟食中菜唔會口乾到要飲汽水,証明就算有味精都唔多。
3) 剛剛從友人口中得知中國會既自助餐比較大酒店既貴,真係有少少吃驚。不過人地真係比好多新鮮海鮮大家食bor。當然,如果佢提供埋魚翅同燕窩,我諗會重爆囉。

4) 嘻嘻,唔知大家覺得在下用新相機拍出黎既相係咪好靚呢?!
用左新學既"立體一掃全景功能"同"合成淺景深效果"架。

...by by topic, I mean it sort of reminds of what typcial Westerners think and do enjoy about Chinese food and Hong Kong in general, when Cantonese food is often mixed-up with other well known dishes from further up North or to the West of China. Its the convenience of serving all types in one convenient location to please expectations, much like a mini food court stall and to me, the China Club kitchen plans their menu around this philosophy - but fortunately also retaining some old-school authentic, Cantonese dishes. It can please both overseas and local eaters at the simultaneously!!


But before you 屈我, don't take it as me stereotyping about eaters - quite the contrary in fact if you try not to read between the lines only. I have met MANY foodies, including overseas eaters from Westerners to Koreans or Japanse, who actually fully understand Chinese food and their provincial differences, its certainly more than what many Hong Kong people are used to believing otherwise. Sometimes, I think we need to show mutual respect to fellow foodies from overseas, please.. If you think about it, what are the CHANCES that us Hong Kong people really can distinguish the differences between various types of regional cuisines served in different parts of France or Italy or Belgium or the UK or even India? From my observation upto this point - the majoritive don't bother distinguishing between them, which is sarcastic considering we often look down upon fellow overseas diners who don't understand HK food either, when we commit exactly the same thing ourselves in a hypocritical way. A good example can be - a lot of Southern French food overlaps with Italian food, or Basque cuisine or Spanish, or Mediterranean or Israel, and I can think of many dishes throughout Europe... In my opinion, if we are really true Foodies and HK is a genuine melting-pot, we should strive to try showing foreigners what they really could explore and learn more about Cantonese food - just as you would want the same when you travel to Japan or Finland or Alsace, and you will find it annoying if your host tries to stereotype what they think you would like and accept, therefore bringing you to those touristy places rather than the real local stuff. Just to put words into action, I have actually tried doing this before, showcasing specialty Cantonese Food to my overseas friends whether it be in Japan, Australia or in Hong Kong, and everytime it was quite successful and they will learn to appreciate it 1 day. Except the chicken feet or or duck tongues, of course, haha!


*****************************
Had a variety of dishes here, sorry about the lack of food photos as its rude taking some when DINING WITH OVERSEAS GUESTS, I guess lunch is is more relaxed? Besides, this club is a Members only venue and I didn't want to get into trouble taking pics only to have some staff come and tell me to stop afterwards - can u imagine the scene or consequences, embarrassing me infront of my dining companions. I won't take the gamble.
(Therefore only sneaky pictures haha when they are not looking!
)

The Stirred Fried Angus Beef with Garlic -
Is admittedly a Westernised Idealised Cantonese dish, but here it was done pretty well in a way, in fact better than more so-called AUTHENTIC Cantonese executions of this dish, because it wasn't even 'soda-tenderised' at all, like 99.9% of Hong Kong Cantonese restaurants. 4.5/5

The half a Peking Duck -
Here, was pretty poor in comparison - I know it's unfair to rate Peking Ducks when you only order a half-carcass rather than a full-bird, because almost all Peking Duck's are partially pre-roasted, then re-heated again unless u special order it to come out at a certain time. Half-a-Peking-Duck don't like being re-heated unfortunately, as it tends to run drier than full ducks without skin pre-cut open, and in this night's case, it had began to 'curve upwards' like a 月彎刀, a very sore sight. The meat was too dry, understandably. Having taken into consideration the half-a-duck limitation however, I felt the meat could still carry more fresh duck gamey taste, either that or better marination flavours, or more wood-grilled flavours (which it wasn't!) or more crispy skin too. The sauce and scallions were ok-good, the pancakes way too cold and floury. 2.5/5

Grilled Pork Neck Thai style -
This wasn't very good in a way too. The pork neck although fatty, hasn't started to develop any fat flavour, nor meat flavour, not grilling flavour. It was also marinated in some spice which is strange - not authentically Thai, not truly Cantonese either, somewhere in between. This dish was also very cold by the time it got to the table. 2.0/5

Soup Braised Young Vegies Sprout -
This from memory came with some shaved Yunnan ham on top, which are of great quality. The stock it was cooked in was good too, not the usual Chicken Powder based chicken stock. Its not hard to get this type of dish completely wrong but on the other hand not many places get this perfect - even Lung King Heen stuffed up the similar dish big time the last time I tried it. Here it was enjoyable but not top notch. 4/5

Braised Yee-Fu Noodles -
This was half braised and half stirred-fry in my opinion, with the politically correct base of mushrooms, oyster and also abalone sauce. The version served here was very satisfactory, relatively speaking. I say this because I've had some pretty ordinary versions locally. In comparison the version here stood out because it wasn't over-cooked and mushy, it carried mushroomy taste, the sauce although ordinary was balanced and enhanced the dish, the noodles themselves had proper noodles taste. Could it get any better? Yes it could. But in comparison, someone can tell me where I can eat a better version first, before I downgrade this score. 4.5/5

*********************
The Bar upstairs is quite attractive in a way - they serve alcoholic drinks with Cantonese 蝦子花生, which is quite a novelty. OVERALL, this restaurant on the whole though still reminds me of food served a bit past their useful date, kind of like older-style 1st wave immigrants run overseas 唐人街's restaurants or Chinese foodcourt stalls which still survive, thanks to Customers who always buys this type of food. A bit like the Panda or Noodle-in-a-Box chains of America in a sense. Except, the executions here are honestly pretty good in a way. It reminds me of Colonial style British-Chinese food too, or in a way the style is too similar to some 港島廳 offerings which are more geared towards the a cross-over between satisfying both Western or Japanese customers as well as local Hongkies. In fact - both restaurants attract exactly the same mix of crowd.

But that's not to say, it will be satisfactory for every overseas visitor - because as far as I am concerned, a certain group of foodies have already been educated beyond and developed beyond this stage of preliminary Chinese or Cantonese food knowledge. Don't believe it if you don't want to at your own peril. I'm not forcing you. At least I have read, met, seen and dined with them before and not making pure assumptions.

If you think about it, wouldn't you feel proud if you could convince your friends to become more educated about OUR PROUD CANTONESE FOOD, AND TEACH THEM HOW TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN GOOD WONTONS (OR LONG SOUPS LOL) OR CONGEES, OR A REAL SWEET & SOUR PORK DISH, OR THE EQUALLY ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVES TO NORMAL RED CHINESE SAUSAGES, OR WHAT REALLY MAKES A DAMN GOOD CHILI SAUCE !
Know what I mean? Its artificially Colonial 懷舊式!

其實寫食評係應該寫食物既,so far o係 China Club 都試過十幾款點心,其實樣樣都幾有水準架。但如果你叫我推介,我又唔覺有邊樣特別好食;如果問我有邊樣唔好叫,我又唔覺有喎。其實一間食肆做到咁,都算唔錯架喇,起碼如果帶朋友去,唔怕"出事"。如果有外國人朋友,帶佢黎,佢一定會喜歡,因為個環境好特別。好有中國特色之餘,都幾潮架。有一晚,因工作關係到來,發覺原來14樓通往廳房之走廟有歌者唱懷舊歌,我覺得好 match 好有 feel 喎~!總之食環境,食水準,都唔會令你失望啦。

Stir-fried tripe in XO sauce (XO醬油泡爽肚片) - any worries about ruining my palate was put to bed with this dish...the spicy XO sauce - lots of chilli here - completely numbed my taste buds for a while. Otherwise this was pretty nice.

Conch baked with goose liver (鮮鵝肝焗格蘭嚮螺) - a really delicious dish done like a crab cake, except the mixture of the liver and the shellfish together works really well. Yum yum!

Fish broth stewed with preserved orange rind and jujube (陳皮紅棗燉生魚湯) - very nice clear broth, like a consommé, with the distinct fragrance of the orange rind.

Steamed fish (清蒸海上鮮) - this happens to be a very, very good steamed green wrasse (青衣) - a delicacy in Cantonese cuisine that is classified as "near threatened" according to Wiki. I don't have this fish very often, but it really was delicious tonight.

Fatty char siu (肥叉燒) - what can we say? We loooove good fatty char siu. This is better than what we had at Fook Lam Moon last week.

Roast duck (掛爐琵琶鴨) - skin is nice and crispy, and the meat is pretty decent, too. A rare occasion when I decided to cut out most of the fat...

Braised beef short ribs (紅燒牛肋骨) - very tender and cooked with many Chinese spices.

Chinese lettuce with fermented tofu sauce (腐乳椒絲唐生菜) - the fermented tofu actually isn't too strong, and is tempered by the slices of chilli peppers.

Homestyle stir-fried rice vermicelli (家鄉炒米粉) - this was absolutely fabulous. You can taste the flavor from the chef having fried this in a wok with high heat, what the Cantonese call wok hei (鍋氣). We loved it so much that we ordered the stir-fried thin noodles with shredded chicken in soy sauce (豉油皇雞絲炒麵) as an encore.

中秋節已過去...但屋企還有大量月餅存貨...其中有很多品牌大家都估唔到佢到會出月餅


今次介紹的是來自高級食肆...只招待會員的中國會

我們倆當然不是會員
...中國會行高檔路線,老公仔以前跟老闆食過一次,佢覺得若以價論貨,只是一般...吃得是那份氣派,那份榮譽感

今次這盒月餅,是盧森堡老闆來香港開會,適逢中秋節,送給我們的一份心意

月餅包裝精美,還有音樂的,不過大多同事都略縑幼稚


白蓮蓉做的月餅,味道較淡,但皮都唔錯...幾薄,比想像中好吃...不是做月餅的,有這樣的質素...算己有交代...

成為會員後去了好幾次。裝修精緻有taste,在中環來說門面算是high end。中菜當然是好,小籠包、炒飯、杏仁茶是必食。茶水也好喝,咖啡則普通。服務細心不用置疑,服務員都好醒目。食物價格較其他會所算偏高,尤其是早茶時段。不過請客食一定是極之impressive,都算物有所值的。唯一美中不足是建築物本身沒有停車場。
