全球超過20億人見証的英國皇室婚禮已舉行。新郎的地中海頭、新娘的雪糕筒胸婚紗、碧咸嫂的喪禮面等似乎更引人入性。本少爺不太明白,很多人形容此事為「世紀」婚禮;但本世紀剛剛才開始,咁快就稱此事為「世紀婚禮」,好像世界就快末日咁。。。似乎有點那個 ?!?!在本港有82年歷史,源於上海的老牌西餐廳也來襯熱鬧,推出「王子大婚套餐」,算是聊勝於無的贈慶。此餐廳一向給我的印象是很「Chinglish」,是否適合閣下實屬見仁見智。對此餐廳,龍少爺的吃後感是撐的!上坐先來一點酸菜。餐桌上的一小瓶醋漬蔥頭,吃起上來酸酸的,帶點辣味。吃了好幾顆,胃口已開。麵包籃中可以自選麵包,共有四款:提子包,香草包,橄欖包,法包。貪心的本少當然每樣來一件。當中以香草包和橄欖包較香,配黑醋欖油同吃,很不錯。Smoke Salmon Blini's with Horseradish Cream and Salmon Roe ($88)三文魚的造型是仿照英國皇室的皇冠,頗有心思。配上小薄餅及辣根汁很不錯吃。Grilled Sea Bass with Champagne Foam, Fresh Asparagus and Par

魚皮煎得香脆,魚肉鮮嫩無腥味,鮮蘆荀也香脆可口。但此菜與王子大婚有何關係 ?! 侍應們也語塞。

侍應溫馨提示此「乾咖哩羊」乃「廚神大賽」的得獎名菜,不虞有詐點了一份,並要了五成熟。咖哩羊一向是我的心水;這裡的乾咖哩香口又不太辣,汁收了在羊肉內,肉質柔軟。如覺太乾的話,可以點濕咖哩汁同吃,濃妝淡抹皆相宜。

例牌隨咖哩附上一個印度 Thali,用上一個中式全盒,幾大堆頭。中間放了幾片印度薄餅,周圍的小盤有六款佐料,有鹹有甜有辣:杏甫果醬、椰子蓉、花生、提子乾、炸洋蔥、煮青辣椒。每樣試試,有視覺效果得來又好吃好玩,果然是得獎名菜。

提及這兒lunch & dinner 均有套餐~LUNCH 2 courses $258 (per preson),DINNER 3 courses $298 (per preson),午市來個忙裡偷閒享受浪漫也不錯!

浪漫環境拘使我隨意點了2 DINNER 3 courses,看到老公目瞪口呆!哈~這個反應我很理解,先解釋我點菜一貫作風!我會將所有MENU先看一次,有時會加插詢問侍應才下決定!老公如此反應相信大家明白
!我為這個特別行動解畫後,老公後加drink解渴~early gery tea !

侍應拿著麵包籃內有:香草麵包、法式麵包、提子麥包及三色麵包(green & carrot favour)任選!我選香草麵包及三色麵包,老公全選試試!四款麵包中香草麵包軟綿綿最好吃,用香草香料做麵包令人再想食所以添了幾次,其次三包麵包及法式麵包也有補添一次!等候期間吃些餐前開胃小吃,漬物(葱)是附送的,粉紅顏色清澈晶瑩,老公對小葱子輕量級酸味叫好!

頭盤分別點了
parma ham and honey dew melon & pan-seared scallops salad!前者parma乾身蜜瓜完全沒水份,反而後者帶子彈牙有鮮味,再配上切碎菜粒用了醋和橄欖油而成的西班牙涼湯很好吃!

主菜選擇
poached snapper fillet 賣相是完成?全白色鯛魚用煙肉和香檳做汁味道沒任何問題只是淡些但因沒配菜令顏色太單一吧!另一主菜:bowl:Minute Steak 牛排用了焦糖和洋葱加少許紅酒做汁但味道偏濃!兩款主菜味道像調亂似的!

甜品
Apple pie with vanilla ice-cream但經侍應熱誠推介後決定轉上今天廚師推介~lemon yogurt cake!嘩....清新檸檬甜味愛不釋手,旁邊自雪絲是麥芽絲入口即溶亦相當出色,令對甜品沒興趣的老公也讚不絕口,謝謝侍應的推介才能吃上如此美味甜品,今晚DINNER 3 courses是味覺上高潮起伏,浪漫環境給予刺激!

It was a Tuesday when we went, so the specialties for the day were either suckling roast pork with apple puree or fish and chips. I LOVE pork and could not go pass the suckling roast pork. It was served with gravy, boiled vegetables, roast potato and a mountain of onions which was below the pork. The pork was tender and succulent, with a slither of fat and was deliciously scrumptious!

It was a Tuesday when we went, so the specialties for the day were either suckling roast pork with apple puree or fish and chips. I LOVE pork and could not go pass the suckling roast pork. It was served with gravy, boiled vegetables, roast potato and a mountain of onions which was below the pork. The pork was tender and succulent, with a slither of fat and was deliciously scrumptious! The apple puree was a great compliment. I devoured this and enjoyed every single bite! I do miss a good roast pork and this definitely hit the right spots.

R, J, and S ordered the fish and chips. I had some of this and I have to say, it wasn’t too bad. It’s hard to find good fish and chips! The batter was quite thin, and fish fresh. It was a generous serving of fish, and chips were crunchy.

It's classic. A place of memories.

It's always a place for first date

booking a table at the corner seat with all those historical pictures hanging on the wall, served by familiar old and friendly faces.

Food quality is always good, variety of choices frm Western to Asian dishes. Cream mushroom and lamb chop are my dinner set, classic place with usual meal set, this is me.

The atmosphere is so comfortable, quiet and no one will rush you to finish faster. Spent hours talking with my partner is always a great moment to remember.

We used to come to Jimmy's with my parents when we were young and it was one of Dad's favourite restaurants then. The last time I came here was 6 years ago with an elderly professor and it was her choice. Things haven't really changed for decades except the lighting is now brighter. All the old favourites on the menu are still there.

My friend suggested coming here and it was also her Dad's favourite restaurant. We didn't really have to look at the menu but her young daughter was deciding whether to have soup, bangers and mash or the mixed grill. The mixed grill and lobster bisque are old favourites of the restaurant together with chicken Madras, beef stragonoff and baked onion soup.

I can't remember that I ever ordered anything else other than Chicken Madras here and my friend ordered deep fried prawn cutlet. Our little friend decided on bangers and mash. I had never seen this prawn dish and it was 3 big prawns with chips and peas. I tasted the prawns and the flesh was firm and it was fried with light breadcrumbs and not oily. My chicken didn't look appetising. Anyone who hasn't tasted this dish would find it ugly. But despite it being skinless chicken breast, the meat is not dry and squeaky like chicken breast can be, it was soft and tasty even inside the cubes. The condiments with the dish included papadums, sweet chutney, raisins, fried shallots and spicy chutney. You choose what you want to add from a tray. I couldn't finish my dish as the portion was big and there was a lot of rice. Our little friend's bangers and mash was not special. No doubt pork sausages that are frozen and imported and not unlike the ones that we can buy from the supermarkets. Bangers and mash can be really nice in England with homemade or fresh sausages but the sausages can vary a lot in taste depending on region and makers.

We didn't have starters or dessert as I didn't have a lot of time and my friends were having afternoon tea that day. So we just finished with coffee and tea.

It's good to know that some things never change. There are not many places that remain unchanged for decades and this is one place where we have collective memories.

環境優雅倘大, 客人不多但夥計較多. 還有些外籍客人和夥計呢. 服務算是合格吧.叫了三道菜晚市套餐連餐茶, 價錢$298+10%. 份量只是剛好.先上麵包. 有四款: 橄欖油包, 提子包, 法包, 香草包. 其中香草和橄欖油算是較香, 但也不算特別出色.頭盤要了蟹肉班戟. 其芝士白酒汁香濃, 合我口味. 蟹肉不算很多主菜叫了燒牛肉. 牛肉三大片, 燒得不錯, 約五成熟而無血水, 本身肉質也鬆軟, 惜汁(疑似是紅酒汁)不足. 配以烚薯仔, 青豆, 蘿蔔條等.甜點只有檸檬撻. 有很香的檸檬味, 但較硬. 忌廉不足, 只有一點點. 配以用酒浸漬的raspberry. 酸酸甜甜的. 我素不愛檸檬撻, 但我想這算是不錯.

My two friends and I went to Jimmy's Kitchen, in Central, for lunch for the first time. As Hong Kong residents, all three of us had heard many good things about Jimmy's and its long history in HK. Therefore, with high expectations, we ordered two mix grills and a chicken kiev from the menu and looked forward to a satisfying meal. However, we were quickly let down.
I am writing this to express my disappointment with the portion size and quality of meats used for the mix grill. For an extremely overpriced $288, all that came on the plate was a 3-inch sausage, a lambchop that looked like half of it had been cut off - making it extremely small, an overcooked and tiny steak, one strip of bacon, a pork chop as thin as 10 sheets of paper, and a big piece of liver (which I know is the most inexpensive meat in the mix...is this why the liver piece was so big?). There may have been other meats on the plate, but they were definitely not memorable. Even more outrageous was the fact that amongst the two mixed grills offered, they only offered 1 bowl of pepper sauce. The second bowl of pepper sauce had to be requested!!
I guess $288 for a mixed grill only warrants 1/2 a portion of gravy at this establishment.
We each had a bowl of baked onion soup to start. I have nothing negative to say about that other than the actual soup was a little watered down.
I very rarely write such negative reviews because they are so often ignored in Hong Kong, but I feel compelled to do so in this situation because of the huge gap between my expectations / reputation of the restaurant and what was actually served.

i won't say the food is exceptionally exciting, but i have to give credit to the lamb madras, but make sure you order DRY lamb madras and NOT the madras with sauce, words cannot explain, but must give this dish a try

service is ok, bread roll can be refilled and it was a very quiet evening, so i guess staff were particularly attentive....

The duckling was gorgeous, just cooked, juicy and tender.
Red cabbage was not too soggy and had just enough sauce (not too sour as some restaurant makes it).
For dessert I had the sticky date pudding ($6x), that was a disappointment, it’s too dried and didn’t have that stickiness to it. I also tried the apple crumble, again it was a disappointment, the crumble was too tough and too sweet. May be dessert is not their specialty???
They also serve various types of bread (free), would be better if they were hot.
I would go there again for the main course, it’s so yummy!

After staying home for 4 days straight, surviving on congee and bread only due to sickness, it was time for some "food"! I need to regain some energy. I wasn't sure eating steak was a smart idea on the first day after recovery; but hey, my craving for some meat won the debate against my hesitation. My friends and I decided on Jimmy's Kitchen @ Central because it was close to work and for me, it was my first me to visit the Central outlet. My first impression was that the whole place has been upgrade and renovated for sure because it looked very familiar, just like the new Jimmy's Kitchen @ TST. I think at least some kind of touch-ups have been carried out ... humm. (Please correct me if I am wrong about the recent renovation because it was my first time here) I guess the restaurant group (Epicurean Management) that operates the two outlets decided to align the decor and atmosphere of this classic franchise.

The interior decor is very elegant and upscale, with a touch of modernity if you ask me. Not as lavish as Amigo but definitely more elegant than Louis' Steak House. I regret not coming here before it was renovated (so I assumed). We were assigned a big semi circular sofa seat similar to that from Lawry's. Everything seemed so new to me, the seats, the wallpapers, the carpet and the fixtures. The plates and bowls are a different story because the logos on them were all wore out and etc.

Among the various kinds of bread being served, my favorite was the tomato and herb one. The flavors were light and would not overtake the bread and butter flavors. However, they should have keep them a bit warmer, one of the pieces was rather cold. (Note: Many of us ordered the same thing (ie: steaks) so the variation of dishes for this evening was not as wide as initially anticipated)

(1) Smoked Scottish Salmon
The presentation of this dish looked better than I imagined. It was pretty generous on the smoked salmon as well. Instead of using the most common small capers (aka Non-pareil), they used a slightly larger type which I assumed was capotes type of caper (or maybe even the bigger type as well). It was good in general but no particular surprises.

(2) Mixed Seafood Grill
Look at the size of the prawn and scallops! I did not try any but it certainly looked yummy enough. This dish somehow caused my craving for seafood especially the king prawns! Maybe it is about time go head back to Sharton's Oyster and Wine Bar for its Sunday Brunch.

(3) Rib Eye Steak
Beef is a good source of energy and I ordered my favorite cut, rib eye, as usual. As mentioned in previous reviews, upscale Hong Kong styled steak house has it own category and steak under this category is usually thinner than its Western count parts such as Ruth Chris or Morton's based on my personal experiences. One of the famous items from Jimmy's Kitchen is its Steak Diane which cannot be found that easily inHong Kong. There is actually quite some history behind Steak Diane but I will go into it in more details next time I try it. For my rib eye, it was well prepared because it was Med-Rare as ordered, but a bit more "red juicy" (aka more rare) would be would wonderful. It was very tender and very beefy with strong beef flavor. Very good! The steak came with a selection of side dishes and sauces. I am not a big fan of sauces when having steak unless it was a classic or authentic way of preparing it such as Steak Diane. Among the selections, I picked one which I had no idea what it was, namely, Cafe de Paris Butter. Apparently, there is a big difference between Cafe de Paris sauce and Cafe de Paris butter, and according to wikipedia, the Cafe de Paris sauce has a bit of history to it as well. As for Cafe de Paris butter, the following is what i got from wiki:

Quite distinct from the classic Café de Paris sauce are various compound butters commonly referred to as Café de Paris butter. These typically contain a mixture of herbs, spices, and other condiments such as mustard, marjoram, dill, rosemary, tarragon, paprika, capers, chives, curry powder, parsley, shallots, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and anchovies, all whipped into the butter. The resulting compound butter is shaped into a roll using aluminium foil and chilled. When the dish is served, a piece of the butter is sliced off and allowed to melt on the hot meat.

As you can see from my pictures, no butter piece was sliced off on the hot meat but instead it was a sauce to be poured. I guess that was a varied style for this upscaleHong Kong steak house which has its own category.

(4) Baked Alaska
O yes, Baked Alaska, time for some flames !! Although the flames were smaller than expected, the whole thing looked way better than Louis' Steak House's in terms of presentation. Also, it was not too sweet, unlike Louis' one which gave me a sugar overdose. It was a pleasant and fulfilling dessert to complete our meal.

(5) Apple Crumbles
Not enough crumbles on top if you ask me but overall it was alright, the apple mixture was rich in flavor and it was a comforting dessert. What surprised most of us was the vanilla custard sauce which was wonderful! We basically cleaned out the sauce from the container. It was good enough by itself. Fattening it maybe, but it was so good!

Likes:

* Elegant decor and atmosphere
* Very Good Steak (among its competitors in the upscale Hong Kong styled steak house)
* Valina Custard Sauce (from the Apple Crumbles)

Dislikes:

* Bread a bit cold
* Apple Crumbles (not enough crumbles)

Avg Spending: Above HKD 500 per person

星期日晚跟爸媽到Jimmy's Kitchen晚飯.媽叫了青豆湯和干咖哩羊,跟飯,薄餅和多種不同的配料.不過不失.爸要了龍蝦湯,很鮮美.石斑Jimmy's style做法似咕嚕魚,不太吸引.我的是英國燒牛肉套餐($298),煙三文魚忌廉湯,忌廉打得起泡,不覺太滯.燒牛肉很美味,只是太肥.伴碟的Yorkshire pudding很香,desert 是bread pudding,很用心的做,個汁好靚.雖然沒有很突出的菜,但整體感覺不錯,是愉快的經驗.

我的是英國燒牛肉套餐($298),煙三文魚忌廉湯,忌廉打得起泡,不覺太滯.燒牛肉很美味,只是太肥.伴碟的Yorkshire pudding很香,desert 是bread pudding,很用心的做,個汁好靚.

有幸同大老細去jimmy's kitchen 食lunch, 高檔餐廳, 價錢唔平因為唔係自己俾錢, 所以"客氣" 地選擇一個白汁雞皇飯作為自己的午餐 老細就食個燒羊鞍, 個樣...好似好好食...不過無我份...未食正餐之前, 侍應送上麵包一籃, 肚餓的我, 忍唔住食左兩塊, 不過, 味道唔錯!個飯到了, 原來味道只係一般, 白汁幾滑, 不過味道幾淡, 除左忌廉味之外就無其他味了, 所以碟飯唔算好好食!問老細羊鞍正唔正, 得番嚟個答案十分正面, 所以, 唔敢俾喊面

未食正餐之前, 侍應送上麵包一籃, 肚餓的我, 忍唔住食左兩塊, 不過, 味道唔錯!

個飯到了, 原來味道只係一般, 白汁幾滑, 不過味道幾淡, 除左忌廉味之外就無其他味了, 所以碟飯唔算好好食!

五月廿九‧炎熱大大話話,吃了這裡都十幾年,這裡的價錢不便宜,食物品質而言,比較起越來越多出色的各國菜色,老實說,是給比下去了。與朋友吃飯,原屬意樓上的五陵會吃花旗蔘蕃薯糖水,但最後轉了軑,來了這裡,因為想吃西餐,而這裡裝修過後也沒有來過了。裝修仍然幽雅,感覺上燈光還多了一點。站了在出面等帶位,只見幾位老伙記行來行去,但就沒有一人停下來招呼一下這兩個在呆等的客人。終於等到位,午餐不太合口味,就在餐牌裡另外再選。前菜要了華杜夫沙律,主菜則是炆牛尾。在吃麵包前,先吃一點酸菜。餐桌上的一小瓶漬蔥頭,吃起上來酸酸的帶點蔥的辣味,吃了好幾顆,很開胃;可以在麵包籃中自選麵包,要了蒜頭包及提子包,俱凍凍又硬硬的,不過吃起上來,提子包還好吃,幾香,塗上牛油,也不錯。華杜夫沙律的青蘋果酸酸的很醒胃,這裡的份量不少,加上在旁不少的沙律菜,胃納小一點的,單吃這個已夠飽了;朋友要了午餐,主菜一會兒已送到來。我要的炆牛尾,等了差不多十五分鐘才有得吃,伙記的解釋是~~牛尾要炆耐一點才夠腍!牛尾有三大件,炆得也算是很腍。前面圓型的一件肉很粗鞋,也沒有什麼甘脂,吃得不是味兒。另外的兩件是尾一點的部位,肥脂較多,甘香豐腴

五月廿九‧炎熱

大大話話,吃了這裡都十幾年,這裡的價錢不便宜,食物品質而言,比較起越來越多出色的各國菜色,老實說,是給比下去了。

與朋友吃飯,原屬意樓上的五陵會吃花旗蔘蕃薯糖水,但最後轉了軑,來了這裡,因為想吃西餐,而這裡裝修過後也沒有來過了。裝修仍然幽雅,感覺上燈光還多了一點。站了在出面等帶位,只見幾位老伙記行來行去,但就沒有一人停下來招呼一下這兩個在呆等的客人。

終於等到位,午餐不太合口味,就在餐牌裡另外再選。前菜要了華杜夫沙律,主菜則是炆牛尾。

在吃麵包前,先吃一點酸菜。餐桌上的一小瓶漬蔥頭,吃起上來酸酸的帶點蔥的辣味,吃了好幾顆,很開胃;可以在麵包籃中自選麵包,要了蒜頭包及提子包,俱凍凍又硬硬的,不過吃起上來,提子包還好吃,幾香,塗上牛油,也不錯。華杜夫沙律的青蘋果酸酸的很醒胃,這裡的份量不少,加上在旁不少的沙律菜,胃納小一點的,單吃這個已夠飽了;

朋友要了午餐,主菜一會兒已送到來。我要的炆牛尾,等了差不多十五分鐘才有得吃,伙記的解釋是~~牛尾要炆耐一點才夠腍!牛尾有三大件,炆得也算是很腍。前面圓型的一件肉很粗鞋,也沒有什麼甘脂,吃得不是味兒。另外的兩件是尾一點的部位,肥脂較多,甘香豐腴之餘,也較腍滑。不過個人而言,吃牛尾,還是連皮牛尾最出色。醬汁濃濃的,吃起來卻是不太夠味道,連帶伴碟的蘑菇、紅蘿蔔等也不太入味,互不相干。在旁的扁麵就更是淡口,鹽也不多下的。這一味,又好像太平館做得出色一點。

等牛尾等得太久,也吃得幾飽,沒有要甜品了,只喝多一杯咖啡。

幾位老伙記的服務,是聊勝於無,找得到他們,自會幫你。

連餐後的熱咖啡,埋單每人三百。不是說這裡很差,但午市跟Brasseries on the Fifth、JW California及Ole同等價錢的,你會怎樣選?
