星期三, 約好舊同學 (共5人) 到又一城八月花飲茶.一早打電話去book, 但都係個句, lunch唔係太多人, 所以其實唔book都得.由於我早左到, 我只好坐低先, 話唔使點茶住, 想等齊人先. 之後經理行過, 就問d侍應點解冇茶, 咁就話返俾佢聽, 經理聽完就即刻叫個侍應點都要serve一壺熱水先. 我想講, 呢個經理都幾細心, 我冇叫茶都留意到, 果然係美心...朋友到齊, tick好點心. 就交俾佢地. 點知, 佢地竟然落錯單, 仲要係到個樣野上左台我地先留意到. 我地好sure我地冇tick錯, 因為有double check. 不過我地冇complain, 因為我地都會食上錯左既點心. 唔緊要啦. 咁就點第二次啦, 又tick過. 點知, 今次就漏落單一樣野. 唉... 呢樣野就唔係好得咯~ 成鬼日咁唔小心既... 同埋想講, 呢間個d與眾不同既點心名同朗豪個間粵江春一樣. 我知都係美心, 但就覺得... 有點頹囉... 可以creative d (因為你改到d名係咁都係為左搞gimmick, 令人覺得你有花心思落d食物名到嘛.)... 一係就唔好咁與眾不同囉...算啦

星期三, 約好舊同學 (共5人) 到又一城八月花飲茶.
一早打電話去book, 但都係個句, lunch唔係太多人, 所以其實唔book都得.
由於我早左到, 我只好坐低先, 話唔使點茶住, 想等齊人先. 之後經理行過, 就問d侍應點解冇茶, 咁就話返俾佢聽, 經理聽完就即刻叫個侍應點都要serve一壺熱水先. 我想講, 呢個經理都幾細心, 我冇叫茶都留意到, 果然係美心...

朋友到齊, tick好點心. 就交俾佢地. 點知, 佢地竟然落錯單, 仲要係到個樣野上左台我地先留意到. 我地好sure我地冇tick錯, 因為有double check. 不過我地冇complain, 因為我地都會食上錯左既點心. 唔緊要啦. 咁就點第二次啦, 又tick過. 點知, 今次就漏落單一樣野. 唉... 呢樣野就唔係好得咯~ 成鬼日咁唔小心既...

同埋想講, 呢間個d與眾不同既點心名同朗豪個間粵江春一樣. 我知都係美心, 但就覺得... 有點頹囉... 可以creative d (因為你改到d名係咁都係為左搞gimmick, 令人覺得你有花心思落d食物名到嘛.)... 一係就唔好咁與眾不同囉...

算啦, 講返食物啦.
檸香叉燒酥
細細個. 上面都算有幾多芝麻. 個皮都幾酥. 個餡都係熱既. 所以好味. 但食唔出有檸香.
牛肉球
d肉軟硬適中, 都算有頗多馬碲. 不過唔係好特別.
蝦餃 (平d個款)
個皮唔厚, 但絕對唔夠薄. 不過都算乾身. d蝦爽口. 不過都係唔係好特別.
蝦腸
有d surprised, 因為有好多蝦 (同埋每條都幾大條下.). 腸粉皮幾薄幾滑, 加上豉油, 正!
類似乳豬拼盤既野
佢一上台, 我呆左. totally unexpected! 因為一邊係西式salad (with olive oil), 一邊係乳豬 (有4塊). salad我冇試, 唔知味道點. 乳豬就唔係好脆, 同埋比較難咬. 不過係幾有趣既.
(小心) 流心奶王包
well, 不嬲都知佢好流心. 所以食個時都好小心. 今日當然冇使我失望 (我指流心呢方面), 但可惜唔夠熱. 只係微暖. 咁就即刻要扣分. 噢...
湯煮豆苗
賣相同味道普通. 冇comment (因為冇impression).

general: 食物味道同其他既美心一樣, 都係幾好 (definitely above standard!). 只可惜就係因為一樣, 所以唔覺佢特別, 所有野都係within expectation. 價錢較高都只不過係坐落於又一城罷了.

每一次都想前往海港城的八月居
但每一次也有人在舉行婚宴
不知是不是宿命
今天剛巧在又一城附近上課
因此與友人相約在八月花吃飯
裝修頗佳 環境不錯
感到意外的是這兒有白杜丹
雖然味道和嘉麟樓有一段距離
旦也不錯了
食物的賣相,味道也在相片中說過
上菜速度十分快
因此對服務沒有什麼評價
較想說是它的八月花茶
雖則名為八月花
但實質是...
各位朋友去試試看便知了
可惜的是因為和朋友聊天太激動
沒喝半杯便不慎倒瀉
在結帳前...才發現這也是美心集團
系幾好食,但系我唔食魚的..

菜式乏善可陳,星期六晚上8:00用餐,嚴重人手不足!杯碟疊至一尺高,叫了3次也無服務員收拾。雖為中菜館,不過茶水另計,計法是茶膽一個要$28,size是最小號的玻璃小茶壺;另外還要每位計水費$12。我們一行6人,茶膽+水費+10%,足足$110,換來的竟然是一壺泡了一次就變成清水味的人參烏龍茶,收得貴也要有道理!!

-一向覺得此店是賣裝修, 但友人告知此店的食物不錯, 終決定訂此店來聚會。朋友拿主意點菜, 菜式有 BB 豬骨、菜茸鮮蝦羹、太雕玻璃蝦球、三蝦唐生菜煲、瑤柱雞粒砂窩飯、雞 (忘記是什麼雞) 和甜品燉蛋。 BB 豬骨夠脆, 可惜例牌只有四件, 太貴了。 菜茸鮮蝦羹賣相不吸引, 最初見到綠色的羹就不開胃, 食完覺得可以接受但不會再點。 其他味道不錯, 水準平均, 但不算出色的菜餚。這裡中西合壁, 甜品燉蛋有兩種味道, 一隻綠荼, 另一隻忘記了, 只記得是甜甜哋和十分好味。 餸和甜品的賣相一流, 份量較少。 到這裡食飯傾計就十分好, 不嘈吵又不會趕客。 價錢方面就不便宜, 偶一為之就可以。

It was the 1st of July and everywhere seemed to be so crowded. Good that we booked a table otherwise the waiting time would have been over 30 mins. I have been to Jasmine 八月花 @ Festival Walk many times already but usually for lunch only. This time I can try out some of the dinner items and maybe I can figure out why this place is always so crowded. Before I go into the food items, I wanted to express how I enjoyed reading its menu. Similar to its sister restaurant House of Jasmine 八月居 @ TST, the menu was very well designed with a touch of artistic feel to it, especially with the transparent pages in between. Unlike the usual menu items with some plain background, this one adds in a theme to the who menu reading experience.

We ordered the following: Starters - (1) Eggplant with sesame sauce 醬麻茄子 (2) Marinated ox cheek with sweet bean 家傳甜臉珠 (3) Crispy BBQ suckling pig 脆皮BB豬, Main - (4) Steamed Egg white fresh crab meat with lobster sauce 龍蝦汁鮮蟹肉蒸蛋白 (5) Shrimp pastes lettuce in hot pot 三蝦唐生菜 (6) Signature crispy fried Chicken (7) Stir-fried scramble egg with conpoy 桂花炒銀芽 (8) Guava Sweet and Sour Pork 石榴子咕嚕肉, Dessert - (9) pan-fried sticky rice cake with black sesame 香麻煎軟餅. We ordered traditional dishes rather than many of their fusion offerings because they are just not tempting enough even with their pretty pictures. Maybe I will try those fusion dishes next time.

(1) Eggplant with sesame sauce 醬麻茄子

A fair dish in general, the eggplant was well prepared to my liking. It was slightly chilled (as a starters) to give it the right texture. The sauce was good with rich sesame taste while not too thick. Sometimes it is the simple dishes that most satisfy your taste bud in my opinion.

(2) Marinated ox cheek with sweet beans 家傳甜臉珠

This item was in the special menu and Chinese name made me ordered this dish. However, no surprises at all, a bit disappointed actually due to the high expectation perhaps. It tasted just like any thinly sliced beef brisket with tendon. On a positive note though, I like the sweet beans because they were not the soft types, they were the really hard type which I think is the traditional way to prepare it. In either case, I like it the way this way.

(3) Crispy BBQ suckling pig 脆皮BB豬

This is one of their so-called signature dishes; however, I do have some reservation. Yes the skin layer was very crispy and thin, but somehow I found it a bit fatty still as a whole. Maybe it is from the very fatty layer in between the skin or it has been left out in the cold for a period causing extra fatty oil to solidify. This little baby pig was definitely an overweight pig. My suggestion is that if you are coming here in a big group, I think you should try ordering the Crispy BBQ whole suckling pig because it can ensure it is freshly prepared.

(4) Steamed Egg white fresh crab meat with lobster sauce 龍蝦汁鮮蟹肉蒸蛋白

In my opinion, this dish should be called steamed lobster bisque on egg white. Why? It was because there were so much lobster sauce and that it was so rich it tasted like lobster bisque. Egg white itself has no taste in general (or light taste), but with this sauce, the egg white served as a complementary items to give the dish the texture it needed. That was all.

(5) Shrimp pastes lettuce in hot pot 三蝦唐生菜

Compared with Victoria City 海都海鮮酒家 dish, there is still room for improvement. Taste wise it was good, rich in shrimp paste and it came with dried prawns and crayfish (I think) as well. However, it wasn't "dry" enough resulting in the generation of excess water in the pot while eating. Wished the lettuce can be a bit more crispy as well. I think the reason was the type of clay pot they use, just a wild guess.

(6) Signature crispy Fried Chicken 炸子雞

Whenever possible, I would rather order one whole chicken because it would have a higher chance to be freshly prepared. The half portion we ordered should be a half from a freshly fried chicken based on the skin texture which was crispy. However, it was a bit too salty even without the sauce and spices. Overall a fair dish I guess and it is rather hard to make this dish badly.

(7) Stir-fried scramble egg with conpoy 桂花炒銀芽

An interesting serving presentation. Usually this dish is served without those white pancakes but it was an interesting combination especially when mixed with the OX sauce that came with it. The scramble egg was slightly overcooked but it was acceptable thanks to the texture of the bean spouts which overtook the focus of the ingredients. Worth trying it especially eating it with the pancakes and OX sauce.

(8) Guava Sweet and Sour Pork 石榴子咕嚕肉

A common dish in a Chinese restaurant but by no means the an easy dish to make. Luk Yu Tea House 陸羽茶室 is one of the places I have tried so far that can really make a good sweet and sour pork. Usually the sweet and sour pork is prepared with pineapple, but once in awhile you will see various combinations such as strawberries or lychee (ie: Luk Yu Tea House). Here they used diced Guava (inside a transparent flour batter) which was refreshing indeed. Plus, the fried pork itself was not bad at all, batter was thin, meat was tender even after being fried. A surprisingly good dish.

(9) Pan-fried sticky rice cake with black sesame 香麻煎軟餅

The sticky rice layer was too thick but the sesame paste inside was a surprise. Instead of using plain grinded sesame paste, it used a mixture of paste and whole sesame. The whole sesame provided a crispy texture to the chewing sensation and gave off an extra aroma as well. Only if the stick rice layer was thinner than it would be very nice indeed.

Likes:
- Stir-fried scramble egg with conpoy 桂花炒銀芽 (especially the pancake + OX sauce)
- Pan-fried sticky rice cake with black sesame 香麻煎軟餅 (especially its use of sesame paste + whole sesame mixture)
- Guava Sweet and Sour Pork 石榴子咕嚕肉 (refreshing combination of using Guava)
- Contemporary Menu

Dislikes:
- Fusion style steamed egg white with "lobster bisque" requires much improvement
- Relatively small portions for a Chinese restaurant
- Food served too quickly + possibly a lot of them are pre-cooked

雖然香港有很多不濟的fusion菜,但也不能一竹篙打一船人,當中總有些中西合壁既食肆是有水準的,就如這家。約了幾位舊同事出來飯聚,為遷就大家,有人提議在又一城找吃,哪一間餐廳就交由我去定奪。想了一想,整個商場之中,我最想吃八月花。或許是星期五的關係,人很多,等候時間也特別長。坐低先點茶,原來大家都很喜歡仁蔘烏龍,真好。用上透明的茶壺,幾精緻,仁蔘烏龍亦很香,不錯。其實在等候期間已大概看完了餐牌,不一會大家便有共識,可以點菜了。我不客氣,第一時間揀了脆皮BB豬。由一隻兩隔的長碟盛著,一邊是四件的乳豬,另一邊則是沙律菜,賣相誘人。乳豬香口,皮脆肉嫩,混入味甜的醬,不慚為總廚推介;只淺嚐了一口另一邊的沙律菜,感覺清爽,中和了乳豬的肥膩,這個配搭,看得出廚師是花了心思的。看菜譜,這金瑤蟹肉脆茄子似乎幾吸引,也來一客。粉漿不厚,唔會太油,質感乾身而香脆,卻吃不出茄子的鮮甜味,而鋪面的蟹肉和瑤柱就很有鮮甜味,相對出色。在等候期間,看見有人吃火焰栗子紅棗燴牛仔膝,睇佢支骨一柱擊天咁,有點像吃西餐,亦忍唔住要了。好大一件的牛膝,配合了甜醬汁,裡頭還有栗子和紅棗,但沒有真正的火焰,其火焰既意思,相信是放

雖然香港有很多不濟的fusion菜,但也不能一竹篙打一船人,當中總有些中西合壁既食肆是有水準的,就如這家。

約了幾位舊同事出來飯聚,為遷就大家,有人提議在又一城找吃,哪一間餐廳就交由我去定奪。想了一想,整個商場之中,我最想吃八月花。或許是星期五的關係,人很多,等候時間也特別長。

坐低先點茶,原來大家都很喜歡仁蔘烏龍,真好。用上透明的茶壺,幾精緻,仁蔘烏龍亦很香,不錯。其實在等候期間已大概看完了餐牌,不一會大家便有共識,可以點菜了。

我不客氣,第一時間揀了脆皮BB豬。由一隻兩隔的長碟盛著,一邊是四件的乳豬,另一邊則是沙律菜,賣相誘人。乳豬香口,皮脆肉嫩,混入味甜的醬,不慚為總廚推介;只淺嚐了一口另一邊的沙律菜,感覺清爽,中和了乳豬的肥膩,這個配搭,看得出廚師是花了心思的。

看菜譜,這金瑤蟹肉脆茄子似乎幾吸引,也來一客。粉漿不厚,唔會太油,質感乾身而香脆,卻吃不出茄子的鮮甜味,而鋪面的蟹肉和瑤柱就很有鮮甜味,相對出色。

在等候期間,看見有人吃火焰栗子紅棗燴牛仔膝,睇佢支骨一柱擊天咁,有點像吃西餐,亦忍唔住要了。好大一件的牛膝,配合了甜醬汁,裡頭還有栗子和紅棗,但沒有真正的火焰,其火焰既意思,相信是放了點胡椒在醬汁內,有小小辣。服務生會幫手把牛膝切開,幾細心的服務。從侍應切牛膝中看出,肉是非常的嫩滑。正如所料,肉質是又嫩又可口,栗子鬆化不過硬,醬汁醒胃,送飯一流。

龍蝦汁蟹肉蒸蛋白,賣相是最差的一款,大概是汁大多,看似是一個杰湯。賣相不好,味道卻不太差,蛋白幾滑溜,蟹肉鮮甜味美,面頭有幾條小露筍作襯托,又是爽甜,有內涵。

還點了炭燒半熟嫩牛肉沙律,牛肉切薄片,是真的半熟,入口鮮嫩味美,墊底的是生洋蔥,爽口,兩者夾著食是很開胃的,我吃了不少。這一道菜,很有吃西餐的感覺。

叫了兩個木桶飯,也幾香口,最好係混埋燴牛仔膝的醬汁吃。

正在做promote,晚膳有甜品送,四個人更加是送兩客,好開心。睇睇dessert menu,除了有中式甜品外,還有西式甜品,甚至是有心太軟,真是喜出望外。就來一客心太軟,一客檸檬芭菲。

先是檸檬芭菲,不太酸,味道清新,那脆皮帶點薑味,咁樣配搭又幾夾;萬眾期待的心太軟之後出場,想不到這裡的出品也不太差。切開是幾流心,朱古力漿熱暖,味道尚算濃郁,伴碟還有一球雪糕及生果,如果bownie可以脆一點就更加好,不過這個出品我都收貨有餘了。

最後店方還送上飲品,似是蘆薈綠茶,不是太甜的,我本身不喜歡這味道,認為一般。但送的飲品也是用精緻的小杯盛著,很欣賞店方這方面的心意。不經不覺食吓傾吓,又成十一點了,係時候回家去了。

溫馨提示:持八大院校的學生証可享有八五折優惠,埋單前記得問一問服務生。

For the past few weeks I found myself having group dinners at restaurants skillfully disguising themselves as more chic in style and more contemporary in food when compared to their parent company. I am not a stickler on absolute tradition or authenticity, but I believe that "fusion" should be done to improve the taste of the food rather than the reverse, albeit all the efforts to enhance the appearance or appeal. So how many restaurants are really successfully in finding the balance of modern chic and deliciousness?

Browsing through the menu of Jasmine 八月花 is actually quite entertaining, since it has such beautiful portrays of their signature dishes. I have been to Jasmine quite a few times, for dim sum and for dinner, so I was fully aware of the small portions and decided to order a few more dishes to sample. I have always enjoyed their appetizerBBQ Suckling Pig 脆皮BB 豬, which came with four pieces of crispy suckling pig ribs and some mesclun salad. Although this time the meat was a little chewy, the skin remained crispy like crackers. Definitely one of the better dishes of the night.

Things quickly turned downhill after. The Marinated Sour Lotus Root with Red Date 酒香酸蓮藕 was immersed in a pool of cloyingly sweet syrup (桂花?) with no discernible wine flavor. Apparently the “syrup” was just poured in before serving as the sourness of the lotus root was not in anyway integrated with the sauce. This plate was left untouched after one bite! The Crispy Fried Beancurd 椒盬脆豆腐 was indeed crispy outside and silky inside, but where was the seasoning? How could the fried garlic taste so timid? Somehow the Master Soy Stock Marinated Egg and Tofu 鹵水蛋豆腐 became normal by comparison, but was by no means outstanding, despite the intriguing “Master Soy Stock” in its name.

After a pretty long wait one of our entrees, the Pan Fried Scrambled Egg with Crab Meat 蟹肉玉子燒 arrived. A direct comparison with the Japanese kani tamagoyaki might not be fair, but how could you not with that presentation, especially with the hajikami (the pickled ginger stalks)? The deep yellow colored egg was soft yet surprising weak in egg flavor, and the crab meat was just a batch of tasteless shredded meat (sort of remind me of canned crab meat) . More appalling was the strawberry sauce on the side, which didn’t belong anywhere on this dish and an utter failure of fusion attempt. At $90 I really shoud have saved the money and went to 一門 for this dish instead
.

The Fried Cod Fish with Spicy Sauce on Crispy Rice 鍋巴醬爆銀雪魚 was a big disappointment as it was suggested by the waiter as one of their signature dishes. The dish was lukewarm when arrived, and the cod fish, a fish that I thought could hardly be overcooked, was fishy and totally dry! Undoubtedly low-quality frozen cod fish, so thin that no matter how you cook them they would turn out dry and dreadful. It was so bad that Triple O’s new cod fish sandwich actually trumped this dish by miles (and I am not kidding!)

After a series of unsatisfactory dishes, our last two dishes didn’t come until half an hour later as the waiter obviously missed the orders of both. The Flaming Veal Shank with Chestnut and Red Date in Whisky Tomato Sauce 火燄威士忌栗子紅棗燴牛仔膝 luckily came before we were starved to death and it turned out to be the best dish of the night. The enormous veal shank consisted of fat, tendon, and meat was very tender, easily cut through with a knife. The thick sauce with chestnuts and dates, while not exceptional and lacking any whisky flavor, went well with white rice (or perhaps we were just too hungry at that point)
. This was the only dish that we could polish off the entire plate.

The last dish, Steamed Asparagus with Pumpkin Sauce 蘆荀伴南瓜醬汁, did not come until we asked for the fourth time and more than an hour after we placed the order
. Then I realized two of the same dishes were brought out by the waiter, so apparently they wouldn’t cook it until multiple orders of the same dish were placed. No wonder some dishes came so slow despite easy preparation. And this dish was just unmemorable, with skimpy toothpick-sized asparagus swimming in bland pumpkin sauce. Forget about it.

While we were waiting for the asparagus, we ordered two bowls of dan dan noodles 擔擔麵 which somehow were ready in 3 minutes. The noodles were cooked fine and the broth was strong in peanut taste, though weak in spiciness.

We ended the meal with two desserts, the Tofu Mousse Cake with Blueberry Sauce 豆腐慕絲蛋糕藍莓汁 and The Mango Three Ways 芒果三弄. These two dishes were the closest to the images that they portrayed in the menu among everything we ordered, and they met our expectation flavorwise. The tofu mousse cake was of the right custardy texture, but the blueberry sauce was unable to rescue the slightly bitter taste from the tofu. The mango dessert, consisted of mango pancake, purple sticky rice with mango, and mango and sago sweet soup (芒果班戟+黑糯米+楊枝甘露) was the best of the bunch with each component full of mango flavor.

Among my numerous visits to Jasmine, this had to be the most disappointing one. Based on my past experiences, I would have probably given them a smiley face or ok face. It seemed that the blend of appearance and fusion flavor was much better balanced in the past while nowadays the focus was shifted too much to presentation alone. The “fusion” flavors were no longer unified and became “confusion” to my palate instead. The service was down right horrible and really ruined the dinner. I know this would be my last visit to Jasmine, as least for dinner. I hope they can at least maintain their dim sum quality, or else this resaturant will really become a place of gimmicks rather than food.

本來訂左去又一棧,但係見到八月花咁多人排隊,就即管試下係米咁好食

我地12點幾開始等,最後竟然等左50mins(果到個侍應仲話好快有檯囉)!!

食左:
腸粉春卷 幾特別 不過唔算好好味
迷你桶仔飯 好多人叫 味道都唔錯 如果入味D仲好
砵仔糕 普通 不過我個人認為唔係好似砵仔糕

上湯煎粉粿 重鹼水味
百花釀魚肚 普通
魚湯腐皮卷 D魚湯渗晒落D腐皮卷到 好juicy 好味!

(唔記得係咩)浸菜苗 清清地 幾好

食物整體都唔錯,不過我覺得要排50分鐘隊就唔係好值
仲要係2pm都仲有一堆人等位!!
最衰要5位先有得訂位,如果唔係好想再黎試下個雀籠點心

四個人....食左:
心心相印 - 其實係香片的一種茶...但本人覺得個名同個茶一D關係都冇.....係幾清.....個茶種加左熱水後焗一陣會變成一朵花......好玩成份居多....
清燉杞子土雞湯 - 好味....一位 $38...得一碗仔....
蝦肉伴素麵 - OK....冇乜特別....
爺爺粟子燴雞 - 好清.....如果粟子多番D會開心D.....雞肉本身同椰汁係不錯的配搭.....最好多碗飯撈下咁就 very good
金瑤蟹肉脆茄子 - 食唔出係茄子...但係味道唔錯.....個汁都幾多蟹肉...
艷影紗窗 - 原本想食D有豆腐的菜...叫左呢個...但完全食唔出邊度有豆腐...好彩本人好鐘意食竹笙...所以我覺得OK.....
味不同三色飯 - 有三種唔同的飯....OK啦...冇咩特別
蟹肉玉子燒 - 呢個好食....但如果玉子再生少少會變成好好食.....中間的蟹肉厚到令我非常開心.....
脆皮牛坑腩 - 呢個不可不吃.....雖說脆皮..但一D都唔熱氣...牛坑腩超腍....成晚最好味的一道菜.....如果有D咖喱汁點下...會更 perfect.....
食飽侍應送上一杯不知名飲品...杯底有蘆薈碎.....味道清清地...微酸....解滯之用.....

食品賣相精緻....味道唔差.....fusion 特別.....出邊好少會有咁既配搭....
侍應們服務有禮....係唔主動收碟囉....雖然四個人坐六人檯....但D碟太大....都擺唔哂....
用 AE 黑咭埋單有 75折...盛惠每位 $150....即時覺得好抵食.....

昨晚到九龍塘八月花晚膳。餐廳裝潢較trendy,以紅色佈置作主調。也許人客不是太多的關係,我們二人被安排坐在一個四人卡位,座位寬敞舒適。食物方面,點了以下數款小菜:脆皮牛坑腩:外層脆皮鬆化,厚薄恰怡,夾起來亦不會散。牛坑腩肉質OK,不過以味道來說,還是雲吞麵舖嘅牛腩好食D。脆脆麥皮蝦:簡單說是黃金蝦嘅改良板,內層蝦肉爽脆,外層既有鹹蛋黄嘅甘香,亦有麥皮脆片帶來的脆脆口感,味道好得!爺爺栗子雞:用原個椰子盛載。椰汁味道不算太濃,OK;栗子雞普普通通,尤其是雞件,份量雖多,但因是雪藏雞柳的關係,肉質雖腍,但雞味欠奉;反而內裡的椰肉卻帶來驚喜,氣味清香,口感嫩滑,味道甜甜地,好食喎!可惜只有三數片,略為不足。迷你竹筒飯:另一好食之選。竹筒飯洋溢着淡淡荷葉飯嘅清香,飯粒色水不俗,亦夠乾身,內裡混雜乾瑤柱、雞粒及冬菇粒等,味道調配得宜。花旗蔘螺片湯:用紫沙茶壼盛載,份量唔算多,但味道香濃。平時用紫沙茶杯盛載的當然係茶,現在換了湯,感覺也頗特別。

是晚首次到八月花吃飯,絕對會是再後一次份量兩個人叫了個set dinner兩人餐,除了來了兩份湯令我們知道是兩人餐外,從食物份量絕想不到是兩人餐,但我們自問是細食人士,最後要叫多個白飯才有六成飽的感覺,還要計劃再到樓上麥記補飛。服務個個無笑容,皆因成個場只見到6-8個樓面,個個做到無晒氣,取menu取了近15分鐘,加水又15分鐘,上跟餐甜品超過20分鐘,埋單就接近10分鐘,一餐飯大部分時間在等.極少時間在食。(因為份量太少)收得咁貴,好心請多幾個人啦!見d服務員個個行唔停,我都唔好意思催得太多次。味道食物味道一般,除了小部份含貴價用料外,水準極為一般,但可以相信真係無味精。上了碟麒麟魚片,上面有幾條菜心,但菜心上面還有幾位白飯,於是好奇地問問服務員:「請問菜心上的白飯是否有何寓言及是否刻意加上?」只見對方二話不說,把魚片撒回,但這一撒,又要等多20鐘才從新上菜! 真係多口之過。(其實我真是出於好奇問下,並不是想投訴,如果對方開口話要換個碟,我會叫停,算了吧!) 上菜應快不快,撒菜就快到叫停都叫唔切!埋單兩個茶芥已經近$60!每位$280,但得六成飽,還吃足近2小時!

份量
兩個人叫了個set dinner兩人餐,除了來了兩份湯令我們知道是兩人餐外,從食物份量絕想不到是兩人餐,但我們自問是細食人士,最後要叫多個白飯才有六成飽的感覺,還要計劃再到樓上麥記補飛。
服務
個個無笑容,皆因成個場只見到6-8個樓面,個個做到無晒氣,取menu取了近15分鐘,加水又15分鐘,上跟餐甜品超過20分鐘,埋單就接近10分鐘,一餐飯大部分時間在等.極少時間在食。(因為份量太少)收得咁貴,好心請多幾個人啦!見d服務員個個行唔停,我都唔好意思催得太多次。
味道
食物味道一般,除了小部份含貴價用料外,水準極為一般,但可以相信真係無味精。上了碟麒麟魚片,上面有幾條菜心,但菜心上面還有幾位白飯,於是好奇地問問服務員:「請問菜心上的白飯是否有何寓言及是否刻意加上?」只見對方二話不說,把魚片撒回,但這一撒,又要等多20鐘才從新上菜! 真係多口之過。(其實我真是出於好奇問下,並不是想投訴,如果對方開口話要換個碟,我會叫停,算了吧!) 上菜應快不快,撒菜就快到叫停都叫唔切!

又係因為工作關係,要幫老闆"搵食"以工作上講,呢間都OK嘅。一落車就到,好易搵。裝潢唔錯,夠體面。午市有套餐,唔使太傷腦筋點菜。服務好,上菜快,仲有啲菜色唔食得都睇得先啦。味道就一般。燒味就麻麻。燒鵝唔算好味,又冇燒腩仔。總之點菜避開燒味會好啲啦。下次再幫老闆搵食都會考慮呢間嘅
