從朋友得知derby 的fine dining 不錯,多謝朋友arrange 了一次聚會,有機會試下Derby 的菜式:前菜小品細細碟,都幾有特色:芋絲包著秋刀魚十分脆口;菊花魚子醬都幾多,不過魚子味濃,基本上把菊花香蓋過,但始終是一道高貴的菜式。之後上了一杯mushroom味濃湯with tart 都幾特別(無錯湯是用酒杯上的),再上了碟煎帶子,兩道菜味道都好,但記憶點不多⋯⋯食過sobert 清清口腔後,我叫了個鴨胸 ,鴨胸肉口感都不錯,都juicy既。最後個甜品朱古力蛋外皮,中間唔記得是燉奶or 燉蛋,好食

從朋友得知derby 的fine dining 不錯,多謝朋友arrange 了一次聚會,有機會試下Derby 的菜式:


前菜小品細細碟,都幾有特色:芋絲包著秋刀魚十分脆口
;菊花魚子醬都幾多,不過魚子味濃,基本上把菊花香蓋過,但始終是一道高貴的菜式。


之後上了一杯mushroom味濃湯with tart 都幾特別(無錯湯是用酒杯上的),再上了碟煎帶子,兩道菜味道都好,但記憶點不多⋯⋯


食過sobert 清清口腔後,我叫了個鴨胸 ,鴨胸肉口感都不錯,都juicy既。最後個甜品朱古力蛋外皮,中間唔記得是燉奶or 燉蛋,好食

看到Derby有季節限定的法國黑松露菜單,便決定今年在這餐廳享用生日晚餐。這餐廳的裝修較古典,有點像紐約曼克頓一所歷史悠久的美式扒房Spark’s;坐下來不久,侍應便送上餐牌和麵飽,麵飽有六、七種選擇,可惜都不是剛出爐熱騰騰的那款,但味道還不錯。侍應先送上兩款免費小點作前菜,雀巢蛋黃用了熱情果汁去泡制,味道清新;炸法國走地雞粒,樣子有點像台灣的鹽酥雞,但加了少許芥末和蛋黃醬,香口惹味。湯、前菜到主菜都和太太共享;龍蝦湯的份量足夠二人用,湯頭蝦味濃厚,帶點拔蘭地酒味,龍蝦肉也不少;前菜點了香煎鴨肝和香煎北海道帶子,鴨肝可能略薄的關係,有點過熟,但味道和口感還好,見我有點不太滿意,經理二話不說便取消了這菜;圓渾厚肉的北海道帶子,煎得外香內嫩,味道鮮美。主菜當然要有黑松露,在送上主菜前,侍應給了我們柑桔薑味雪葩清清味蕾,主菜點了黑松露配意大利飯和黑松露配龍蝦寬條麵;每道菜跟五克黑松露,簡單的忌廉意大利飯突顯了黑松露的香氣,味道十分匹配;相反用了龍蝦汁煮的寬條麵,雖然龍蝦肉和麵的味道、份量都佳,但卻埋沒了黑松露特有的香味,可惜!最驚喜的是在這處用膳可以不用最低消費到樓下酒廊享受現場音樂表演,絕

近來換了管理層?所以感覺似服務退步(?)味道還好,一如既往。麵包還溫暖,小吃亦不錯。龍蝦沙拉非常好,但 main course 既 steak就.........好老好老。慢煮三文魚反而好好。甜品滿意滿足。

感謝朋友細心安排今晚有機會品嚐美國遠道而來在香港獻技3天的米芝蓮三星廚師Christopher Kostow. The Derby Room 服務好是公認. 品酒司亦是專業,推介我們先飲半支白酒再加一支紅酒.晚餐食咗3小時. 精美食材加煮法創新. 吃得出亦顯出美國星級廚師比傳統歐洲星級廚師更大膽嘗試 (利申第一次食美國米芝蓮廚師degustation menu). Menu 上有難忘的daylily, cod cabbage 和date cream. The chef was able to infused some local ingredients and created an additional vegetable dish which is not on the menu. He himself presented the dish to us and introduced it. It was a great and relaxed evening!

The smoked chicken salad has such intense flavour like I have never tasted before making the foie gras comparatively dull. The lamb racks were done to perfection. The Iran saffron risotto has flown blown flavour albeit a bit dry. Dinner was perfectly wrapped up by the signature flaming cherry crepe.

HKJC has 3 club houses located in Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories. Dining facilities are comprehensive; Chinese, Western and international cuisine are served. Derby restaurant in Happy Valley was known to be a classic, elegant, fine dining place aim to offer diners an unsurpassed dining experience. It is a perfect place for anniversary and whoever looks for unforgettable experience. Having said so, keen competition from hotels and other fine dining restaurants are threatening. Derby has to offer special features regularly to draw members’ attention. Current Happening: The Best of English Country Side runs from 3 July to 31 August. It just fit in my schedule this year. I decided to come over to celebrate my birthday.

“There were many small farms in England, heritage breeds and grass-fed cattle and sheep make for the best beef and lamb: leaner, high in good fats, natural minerals and vitamins. Chef de Cuisine Leong Ngo-cham has created a menu that tastes as good as it is good for you.” That was the description of the event. It successfully arise my interest.

Being one of the oldest prestige clubs in Hong Kong, Happy Valley Club House is no doubt elegant. It keeps her colonial style on the decoration. Modern classic is the theme of the interior design. Wood and paintings are widely used. In particularly for Derby, there is a huge wine cellar. Every month, Derby offers member’s choice. It was an enjoyable walk at the corridor with wine cellar on the side.

5-course menu was simple but well planned; appetizer, soup, fish, meat and dessert. Only soup and meat have choice. I felt like to have a cold soup tonight due to hot summer. For meat, I always like lamb than beef.

A waitress showed us a big basket with about 6 types of bread to choose from. They all smelt fresh from oven. She introduced them so quickly that I could not catch up for all. Luckily, I was still able to pick by their appearance. Amongst all, black ink bun caught my eye ball. I also picked a soft bun and a wheat bread to be with.

Bamboo charcoal bread has been a new phenomenon and was hot. This black ink bun certainly looked alike and tasted the same. It was neither sweet nor salty, match well with butter. Soft inside and crispy outside, no doubt freshly made.

I was so happy that amuse-bouches were served. Amuse bouche used to offer a glimpse into the chef's approach to the art of cuisine. They indeed impressed me.

It was certainly could be eaten in one bite. Surprising the cube was made of melon and the spread was crab meat. The combination was new to my palate and perfectly match.

A whole piece of sweet shrimp was placed on top of a narrow cut foie gras terrine. So, they both have same thickness. A piece of pink ginger jelly and green were added to enhance the appearance. The dish was also decorated by prune and vinegar drops.

Sweet shrimp was fried but the texture was fresh and soft as raw. Foie Gras Terrine was smooth and seasoned by sweet sauce. The sweetness of shrimp and foie gras terrine were alternatively changing in my mouth that pleased my palate so much. Aided by the seasoning and sweet shrimp, the dish was not heavy at all.

Tomata Gazpacho was touched up by crab meat and a mouse made of cucumber and basil. Strong aroma of cucumber and basil were hidden and did not affect the lovely sweet and sour taste of tomato soup. This combination was also new to me and indeed very refreshing.

This dish was a piece of art, qualified for a full mark simply by its appearance. It was like a layer biscuit; with an interesting bird nest kind of cracker on the top. It was black in color, very thin and delicate. Underneath was pan fried scallops in the middle and caramelized onions at the bottom. Furthermore, it was filled with chardonnay cream.

6 pieces of scallop was the key, fried to golden brown color but still juicy. The contrast amongst these 3 layers balanced well with each other. It was so satisfying with freshness, crunchy, juicy and fresh in one bite.

Cooked in a traditional way, the herbs gave freshness to the rich lamb. Roast lamb sounds easy but experience mattered. Of course, a good piece of meat was always most important.

It was such a think cut, roast medium so that inner meat remained pink and juicy. The roast was just right, super tender and delicious. Extra sauce was provided and abundant on the plate. I could find some fat under the skin but they were not greasy. As said, best of English meat has good fat and leaner. Eat well and stay healthy!

傳統英式會所外型古典、富殖民地色彩, 馬會會員更是身份的象徵, 就算有錢都唔一定可以成為會員, 申請入會需要有2位遴選會員提名及附議、三名會員支持... 位於山光道的馬會會所, 除了提供多項消閒設施及中西餐飲服務... 對於平民如我來說, 予人感覺神秘、高不可攀, 好奇心悠然而生... 多年前曾獲親友邀請前來食火鍋, 當時的情況已經忘記得一乾二淨, 只記得地點非常隔涉, 並無公共交通工具可以到達, 我屬於無車階級, 唯一的選擇是坐Taxi... 是夜Honey的朋友訂了位與大家共晉晚餐, 我有幸「扯衫尾」出席, 多日來懷著既興奮又期待的心情, 等待今夜的來臨...
慶幸放工時順利搵到Taxi, Taxi司機出奇地非常熟識地形, 穿梭於迂迴曲折的山路, 全程毫不塞車, 竟然可以比預定時間7:00PM早10分鐘到達... 早咗10分鐘, 餐廳仲未開門營業... 坐係門外等待期間, Honey又遇到朋友, 山旮旯到咁都遇到, 利害!!!
咳... 咳... 請大家先關掉你的手提電話!!! Club House內係嚴禁講手提電話的!!!

咁高興, 大家今晚一於不醉無歸!!! 人人都好聽話唔揸車, 坐的士做乘客... 朋友獨力携帶4支美酒(2支香檳 + 2支波爾多紅酒), 好臂力!!!

識飲識食的朋友, 訂座時已預先寫好菜單, 餐廳方面很貼心, 每位客人面前都有1份預先印制的菜單, 我地唯一需要煩惱的, 係主菜吃牛還是吃鴿, 同埋餐後的飲品... 朋友對Food & Wine Paring亦非常有研究... Champagne Dom Pérignon配前菜, 由香轉醇的Château Pichon-Longueville配Pigeon, 由烈轉香的Margaux配Beef... 在座每客賓客都非常Enjoy...
Chef de Cuisine -- Eyck Zimmer出生於前東德的, 曾在瑞士、德國、英格蘭和葡萄牙最負盛名的酒店工作, 在倫敦期間曾親自為英國皇室成員做菜... 飲食格言是"A Cook is the only artist where nothing of his creation remains... but memories of the palate can last a lifetime"... 大家一起來欣賞他的藝術創作吧...
Sautéed Foie Gras
Cider Jus and Apple Brioche Toast
-- 一般人見到Foie Gras都會認為係鵝肝, 其實Foie Gras解作肝, 未必一定係指鵝肝, 而且鴨肝的味道不遜鵝肝... 今夜餐廳選用的, 正是鴨肝!!! 鴨肝2邊略煎至外脆內滑, 豐腴甘香, 膻而不腥, 不用咀嚼, 慢慢在口中溶化, 配以以蘋果醋、香料及雞湯煮成的蘋果汽酒醬, 果香減輕了油膩感, 再一口解決鋪上蘋果粒粒的多士藝術品... 單是一個頭盤, 已教人非常滿足!!!

Velouté of Haricot Blanc

Roasted Boston Lobster
Noilly Prat Sauce, Baby Ferrels, Girolles
-- Honey知道我鐘意食龍蝦, 專登要求朋友加入的... 將波士頓龍蝦拆殼起肉烤熟, 龍蝦肉呈誘人的紅色, 鮮艷奪目, 朋友特意取其色來賀喜, 雖然大家都係接受西方教育, 但卻離不開中國人的傳統... 灑上以Noilly Prat苦艾酒煮成的醬汁, Noilly Prat被廣泛用於烹調調味醬, 尤以伴魚為最佳, 應用在龍蝦上, 能帶出龍蝦的鮮甜味, 龍蝦肉爽脆彈牙, 不消1分鐘, 半隻波士頓龍蝦已被鯨吞, 實在太太太美味喇, 幸福的鐘聲再次在腦中響起, 噹... 噹... 噹... 噹... Baby Ferrels幼嫩清甜, 雞油菌則轉贈Honey...

原本Honey同我都係Order牛里脊, 不過朋友極力建議Honey冒險嘗試水準不太穩定的鴿肉, 做出水準的話將會非常美味, Honey最後改單由牛轉鴿...
Grilled Beef Tenderloin
Beurre Café de Paris, Fondant Potato, Grilled Green Asparagus and Ceps
-- Beef Tenderloin我要求"Well Done"(全熟), 一般餐廳都會搬出一件如石般堅硬的牛肉出來, 但這裡的大廚火喉拿揑得準, 切開牛里脊沒有滲血, 內部呈棗紅色, 肉質柔軟富彈性沒有半點筋, 朋友的5成熟更是超級柔軟, 肉味濃厚, 香而不膻, Yummy!!! Beurre Café de Paris是以牛油混合多款香料, 最重要是加入Ansjovis沙甸魚熬制而成的醬汁, 名字像法式, 但卻源自瑞士日內瓦, 主要用以伴紅肉同吃... 圓筒形的Fondant Potato做的非常出色, 表面煎至金黃色, 入口香脆, 內裡的薯肉粉嫩甜美, Yummy... 烤露荀亦是一絕, 選取不大不小的新鮮露荀, 大的太硬不夠幼嫩, 小的不夠清甜爽脆, 削去外皮, 烤至少許焦香, 沒有半點青澀, 非常可口... 色香味俱全的Grilled Beef Tenderloin, 我非常滿意...

Roasted 'Bresse' Pigeon
Madeira Sauce, Pommes Mousseline, Broad Beans and Trompette de la Mort
-- 烤鴿選用來自法國東部布雷斯(Bresse)地區的鴿子, 當地以飼養雞隻而聞名於世... 曾見過西方少女在香港的酒店中菜廳拿著餐牌聞鴿色變, 相信在西方國家懂得欣賞及會食用鴿子的, 就只有法國人... 朋友大讚今晚大廚做的鴿子非常出色, 肉質柔軟細緻, 帶點膻香, 正所謂鴿有鴿味, 哈哈...「唔講得笑 」(夜間一個廣告內重複幾十次的對白), 真係好有鴿味!!! 伴以葡萄牙的馬德拉酒(Madeira Wine)加牛肉高湯煮成的馬德拉醬汁, 味道濃厚稠密, 與鴿子形成絕配... 鋪底的Pommes Mousseline說穿了其實是薯蓉, 做出來的效果竟然滑溜得像慕斯, 實在嘆為觀止... 這道菜式我還是第一次嚐到, 今夜真是大開眼界...

歡樂的時間過得特別快, 又係時候講Bye Bye...
接近10時, 朋友不時提醒馬場的夜馬會於10時45分散場, 為免人多擠塞而導致Taxi上不了Clubhouse, 大家需要早點離開... 哈哈... 但係一眾賓客今夜實在太高興, 依然滔滔不絕, 不願離開... 飲過咖啡或英式茶, 吃過精緻的朱古力, 是時候離開了...

Dim entrance, classy, nice array of wine. Brighter once you get to the main dining area. The dining room is quite long, but not very spacious. There is a large round table in the middle of the room, accommodating parties of 8 (I think). There are also nice cozy corners for couples. You don't enjoy much privacy though.

Bread basket consisted of multigrain, sundried tomato, whole wheat baguette and sourdough. The rolls weren't hot enough i think, but they were quite yummy. Grainy and fragrant. No complaints. The slab of butter was room temp and easily spreadable.
White: Chardonnay Newton unfiltered.$115 They poured a small mouthful for me to taste. We originally wanted one glass only to share between R and I but they mistook it for 2 glasses and so charged us for 2 glasses. Hmph.
Salami wrapped rocket/cheesy amuse bouche Too salty for my palate.
Blackcurrant sorbet - palate cleanser : Delightfully fresh and natural. It was quite sweet, but in a fresh and delicate kind of way. Since it's sorbet it's bound to be slightly watery. The balance was quite the way I like palate cleansers to be. More watery than usual. Nice.

Items from Truffle menu
You get asked whether you want truffle shavings served at the table. $50/gm. The waiter will work at the truffle until you say stop. We didn't have any.

I had this. The risotto was well-cooked but the flavour was not satisfactory. It was too too salty and cheesy to begin with, not to mention how the truffle flavour was significantly masked. Could not taste any truffle to be honest. As for frogs legs - it tastes like chicken. Texture: also similar. Succulent, tender and fatty chicken. Not bad at all.

D had this. I took a bite of the mushy bedding on which the scallops were resting, and was not impressed...whatever it was that I was eating. It wasn't very yummy.

Pumpkin veolute with black truffle and chestnutsNo photos - refer to Sweet corn soup below. They look alike. It was hot, and quite light for a pumpkin soup. Probably not cream-based. A drizzle of olive oil on the top made it silky. Truffle flavour came out stronger in the soup but still..not as strong as I hoped. The chestnuts were yummy in the soup, adding a bit of bite and additional flavour.

I was impressed by how tender and juicy the chicken breast was. Usually chicken breasts are slightly rougher. Sadly, in terms of flavour it wasn't very impressive. The same problem persisted - couldn't really taste truffle. The madeira jus was watery. I would've enjoyed a thicker sauce to dab my chicken breasts in. There were scalloped potatoes which were baked with a cheese. The cheese was tasty but I thought the potatoes themselves were under-salted.

Took a bite of the leaves coated in the house dressing - quite light, well-tossed, and didn't feel too fat. but it's slightly sweeter than the usual caesar salad dressing. Which..is good.
Crisp bacon sitting on top is always delicious.

Much too sweet for me. The sweetness is supposed to have come from the natural sweetness of the corn though. Very hot. Not creamy - good.

I ordered the truffle souffle. This one was very, very truffle-y! The most fragrant of all the dishes on the menu! Recommended if you haven't had truffle souffle before. But having this once is sufficient - i wouldn't deliberately go back for this item alone. I still prefer my all-time fave ginger souffle, with candied ginger inside. H ordered this, yum yum. The souffle had nice texture and was light but not too airy. There was some substance in the body of the souffle, which I liked. I don't want to finish my last course of the meal feeling that I hadn't eaten anything of substance.
Petit fours:Chocolate coated fruit strips. Not outstanding - prefer LMdC chocolate-coated ginger and orange peel. Not a big fan of petit fours anyway. I prefer a piece of gum.

Conclusion:
Not cheap and the food isn't worth the price. However, given the nice environment and the great service, I might go again during someone's birthday month
to enjoy the discount. Otherwise, its' not a very convenient location, and the food is so-so.

"Scrambled Eggs" with brioche
white truffles from Alba are in season, so naturally we had some to go with eggs! These were scrambled very well, slightly runny, soft and fluffy with chives. It was very good on top of the brioche toast and would be a perfect base for truffles, except they weren't as pungent or aromatic as I hoped they would be.... a little did not go a long way indeed!

"lobster bisque"
with its ravioli (lobster) and tarragon cream
there was way too much alcohol which actually burnt my throat a little. Either the alcohol was simmered long enough to 'burn-off', or just too much was added! Bisque was also very thin and lacked the lobster aroma and flavours...disappointing.

"Butter poached Boston Lobster"
served with peas, carrots, pilaf rice (pictured below), and a 'Sauce Neptune'
The lobster was poached medium well so its meat was still slippery and quite tender nothing like the over-cooked chewy or over-boiled mush you get at buffets and whatnot.
The butter poached crustacean was, despite its name, not buttery, but sweet, succulent and oh-so-yumm! The 'Sauce Neptune' was really a seafood sauce scented with coriander (not the herb but the spice).
This dish was one where its accompaniments truly matched the star, from the peas and Indian rice to the coriander-scented seafood sauce. The coriander seeds definitely gave it some Indian flair and was a very enjoyable dish.

"curry crusted monk fish"
with pickled melon, sautéed romaine hearts, coconut essence
This fish never made it into our stomachs fully, but was sent back to the kitchen, for good reason. The romaine was interesting but fiarly bland, The coconut essence was actually coconut foam... too light in flavour. The melons were hardly pickled, but just diced and got quite lost in the plate.
But those weren't the reasons why it failed. It was the 'star', the monkfish, which was chewy, overcooked and the crust was not crispy as the description had promised. It was masked by salt and a little curry spice on the skin part, and was so overcooked it was chew and tough.... whilst monkfish is meaty and firm, it shouldn't be rough, dry and chewy.... after all its known as the 'poor man's lobster'. We were suggested to order something else in place to avoid disappointment.

"pan fried U.S. beef tenderloin"
with horseradish pommes mousseline, baby carrots, kenya beans, sauce bordelaise
This dish was cooked to a perfect medium well, red, but with no trace of blood and incredibly tender... hmm.. i don't think I've had tenderloin this good recently.
The pommes mousseline aka mash potatoes were incredibly rich and creamy too, though I think a little too thin in consistency? But since potatoes aren't my favourite thing in the the world I shouldn't say more.

"slow cooked dover sole fillet"
bed of crushed potatoes, shredded cucumbers, oyster beignet, caviar, champagne foam
Sounds like a lot...and it probably was. The fish was again, disappointing but we didn't have the heart to tell the super-nice Manager again. At least it was edible this time...
Sole is meant to be a soft fish which flakes easily when cooked just right, but this was again over cooked and the fillet had even curled upwards. But I mean, at least the fish knife went through the flesh unlike the monkfish above. It was also overdosed on salt, which I still felt when dessert came round. The saving grace of this dish was probably the lovely oyster beignet which made even the non-oyster-eater in me enjoy it. Crispy and yum on its own with the caviar.

"tiramisu birthday cake"
was complimentary after they found out it was my ma's birthday, but we had no intention to celebrate formally... we were just here for dinner! our guess is that they found an alert when they ran the membership card through their machine? was a good thing most diners had left by now or ma would've been embarrassed..!
anyway, this small gesture was very much appreciated, and the cake itself was actually very decent (but then again HKJC's cakes have always been reasonably good) and very light.
