近兩年未來,試試招牌肉骨茶。湯底依舊的色深,夠熱,但喝起來就只得藥材的味道,肉的份量不多,湯頭顯得很淡,沒有偷工但料減了,風味不如從前,連叻沙的湯頭亦稀得要命,吃慣淡口味的朋友亦投訴無味,是分店開多了,令質素卻大幅下降?現在想喝口滿意的肉骨茶,還是要到揚氏,而同區叻沙做得較似樣的,在和富道的麵店逢假日供應。

得到一個機會可以一行六人到此餐廳吃一個標明是世界杯的套餐,不過也許是希望越大,失望會越大的緣故,的確有太多需要改進之處。 首先,套餐有八道菜式,分別為肉骨茶或者是冬陰功(任選其一),海南雞一碟(無骨的);炒蘿蔔糕;炒貴刁;咖喱牛腩;印度酥皮薄餅;炒通菜和甜品(嬤嬤喳喳)。自己認為當中只有海南雞是值得推薦的,因為雞肉的確是很滑很美味,由於無骨的緣故所以特別吃得傾心。但是其他的也只是不過了了,特別是炒貴刁也許是要忠於原著的緣故,所以非常油,油得令人有點吃不消。至於咖喱牛腩算是過得去,相信應該是經過特別挑選的,算是另一個可以試試的食物。不過一定要提一提的是那個甜品,本來以前也試過馬拉的嬤嬤喳喳,但是不曾試過會有酸味的甜品,不知道是因為内裏的椰奶所致還是其他什麽成份所致,總之就是有點怪怪的味道,頗為不可以接受,希望可以因應香港而作出改善。 本來一頓晚餐為求響應世界杯熱潮,所以也提供投射電視直播世界杯(德國對塞爾維亞),但是由於坐的座位離開屏幕還是有點距離,所以看得不太順心,加上德軍的表現真的是不太像樣,最後甚至以0比1輸掉此場賽事,簡直令自己不能置信,估計德國對打入八強也會是一大疑問。 無論如

零九年五月

廚房從來是個與時間競賽的戰場,尤記得北角沙嗲軒,由於人數眾多,廚房堅持宴席要一口氣將六席菜式推出,結果早燒備的串燒熱度溫溫吞吞,出現這檯熱、那檯溫的問題,見有異色,唯有急忙找經理轉陣,命廚部即炒即上,不用「等齊腳」,到炒辣蟹時勉強還吃到夠熱的菜餚,然而早段的菜式著實叫人掉到一地眼鏡碎,箇中滋味如今想起,亦覺慼然遺憾。

當晚的串燒,醃得夠味,肉亦鬆腍,很可惜不夠熱,值得稱情是沙爹醬有著花生香,甜口亦夠惹味。
也有令搞手內疚的一局...

午飯有時會選擇這裡,是因為貪這裡在一般的情況下都不會爆滿,不過當然,價錢是比一般的食肆要貴了,平均每人消費大概70/80 元喇。店如其名,其餐廳提供的都是星馬菜,就如肉骨茶、喇沙、馬來西亞式咖哩等等菜式都有提供,不過個人到此,風雨不改,每次都點海南雞飯,因為個人認為此處之海南雞飯離本人在新加坡文華CHATTERBOX的感覺是比較相近的。雖然個人認為CHATTERBOX每塊雞的質感比此處還是要稍為優勝一點(因為每塊雞會切得較厚),而且雞也比較鬆軟,但此餐廳的雞(當然,尤其是雞脾了)則更有嚼勁。另外,雖然個人很少食雞皮,不過淺嘗了一塊之後,覺得這裡的雞皮真的很美味,所以接連吃了兩三塊 ... (又要多做運動了,呵呵呵)無論如何,這裡的海南雞飯是絕對高於一般香港吃得到的水準。想一試美味的海南雞飯,真的值得一來試餐廳。記得用AE (好像還有恒生) 埋單是有9折優惠的,埋單時緊記留意了。

Actually this should be part 15, however I didnt label the reviews after part 5,
so all the singmalay series have been listed below.

Came here and ordered the Hainan chicken with rice, Laksa, and Okra in sambal coconut sauce.

The Hainan chicken was the most expensive, and when i mention the price in my reviews I do mean expensive!!!
$80 for a few pieces of chicken, rice, sauces and soup, the sauces were slightly different than the other places, the soy sauce was thick and carried that bitterness to it, the grounded ginger was green, and the rice was quite hard.
The flavoured rice tasted like the paste I got at the Food expo to make the Hainan rice.

The Laksa priced at $65 was the average Laksa price in HK, however it lacked cockles and the big prawns. It was rather oily and very strong in coconut milk base.

Sambal Okra:
This was rather nice, the sauce was sweet with coconut. I would of preferred the okra to have been cut in half to soak up more sauce.

We ordered Bak Kut Teh, fried carrot cake, beef rendang, stir fried vegetables, malacca sago with palm sugar. May be due to the craving, I found everything quite tasty, especially the sago. So it was an enjoyable meal and I am sure to go back in the future. Prices are reaosnable too.

回想起第一次去沙嗲軒,大約在二千年左右.當時位置在銅鑼灣信和廣場,I.T樓上.吃過最好的海南雞飯.不久之後,沙嗲軒結業.年前沙嗲軒回歸,同樣是位於在信和集團之酒店內.一間在皇家太平洋.一間就在北角城市花園.說了很久,始終未有去一試.直到上月,剛好開飯在此搞大局,即刻報名.每次大局不是懷舊古法,就是外省菜,今次終於有所突破.也是一件好事.是夜六圍人馬,聚集在城市花園地下,店方隆重其事,將店內佈置得如宴會一樣.一切,看似是很美好...以蝦羔雜菜沙律來打頭陣,材料有菠蘿,青瓜等水果蔬菜,無錯材料是爽甜多汁,但吃不出蝦羔的咸香味道,只覺得很甜.辣蟹汁炒蛋是什麼?咪就係用辣蟹汁來炒,用蟹汁炒,應該會有點點蟹味,對不起,我一點也吃不出.辣味呢?也欠奉.之後便到沙嗲串燒上場,一吃,怎會是不熱的?應該是燒起之後,攤了一陣子才奉上.不熱的串燒,同隔夜飯菜有何分別?肉骨茶以一人一盅上,我未去過星馬,當然未吃過彼邦的甚麼巴生港肉骨茶,對此味的認識,也是從"好時","楊氏"等地方得知.這夜面對的肉骨茶,肉同茶分離,有如一對同床異夢的愛侶,兩者各懷心事.茶本身的藥材味道不夠香,結尾單薄,排骨點些醬油吃就還可.低

回想起第一次去沙嗲軒,大約在二千年左右.當時位置在銅鑼灣信和廣場,I.T樓上.吃過最好的海南雞飯.不久之後,沙嗲軒結業.

年前沙嗲軒回歸,同樣是位於在信和集團之酒店內.一間在皇家太平洋.一間就在北角城市花園.說了很久,始終未有去一試.直到上月,剛好開飯在此搞大局,即刻報名.每次大局不是懷舊古法,就是外省菜,今次終於有所突破.也是一件好事.

是夜六圍人馬,聚集在城市花園地下,店方隆重其事,將店內佈置得如宴會一樣.一切,看似是很美好...

以蝦羔雜菜沙律來打頭陣,材料有菠蘿,青瓜等水果蔬菜,無錯材料是爽甜多汁,但吃不出蝦羔的咸香味道,只覺得很甜.辣蟹汁炒蛋是什麼?咪就係用辣蟹汁來炒,用蟹汁炒,應該會有點點蟹味,對不起,我一點也吃不出.辣味呢?也欠奉.

之後便到沙嗲串燒上場,一吃,怎會是不熱的?應該是燒起之後,攤了一陣子才奉上.不熱的串燒,同隔夜飯菜有何分別?肉骨茶以一人一盅上,我未去過星馬,當然未吃過彼邦的甚麼巴生港肉骨茶,對此味的認識,也是從"好時","楊氏"等地方得知.這夜面對的肉骨茶,肉同茶分離,有如一對同床異夢的愛侶,兩者各懷心事.茶本身的藥材味道不夠香,結尾單薄,排骨點些醬油吃就還可.

低處未算低,緊接肉骨茶之後的胡椒蝦,才令人驚嚇,一放入口,怎會是凍的?這一道是冷盤來的嗎?同桌眾人一吃火滾,即刻向店方投訴,事後即奉上熱辣辣的胡椒蝦來"補鑊".

海南雞一早拿出來,用保鮮紙包著已斬件的海南雞,放在大門旁邊的檯上待上.小弟好奇地一看,保鮮紙上的雞油同倒汗水分不清,心想不妙.雖然海南雞是涼吃,但看見如此樣子,實在對這碟雞沒有信心.幸好,一吃之下,雞皮滑溜,而皮下肉也嫩,但相信可以更好.雞飯一大兜上,粒粒分明,油香只限於表面,越吃越淡,要狂加醬油才吃得滋味.

星洲辣椒蟹又是得啖笑,蟹熱汁暖,巴東牛肉有別之前吃過的口味,是夜的做得跤濕,味道不夠刺激,但牛肉就幾軟稔.接著的手指豆,一咬,好像鼻涕的汁液,小弟笑說是鼻涕豆,嚇到有些人不敢動筷,吃罷此味之候,等不了Laksa,便要先行告退.

除非是做開宴會,一口氣出六圍菜,對一間位於三星級酒店內的星馬菜館,簡直是越級挑戰.人手不足導致上菜時間延誤,至於廚房方面,是否能夠承受六圍人馬的菜式?真係要問過搞手至知.

Southeast Asian cuisine has always been one of my favorites as I love bold flavors and spicy food. The gathering organized by 公子 came just at the right time as I was starting to crave for spicy SE Asian cuisine. The feast at Satay Inn 沙嗲軒 wasn’t focused on dishes of a particular region, but rather a mix of signatures from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia ( 星馬+印尼菜). The dishes from these regions, while similar in some aspects, do have their own uniqueness that differentiates each from one another. I am no expert in Sinagporean or Malaysian food, but Indonesian food is near and dear to my heart. A kitchen usually can’t be specialist of all but one or two, and it was shown in our dinner that night.

The trio of appetizers tried to introduce us to the flavors of all three regions. The Indoesnian shrimp paste salad 印尼蝦膏沙律 was a familiar dish to me and this was assembled with ingredients like jicama(沙葛), pineapple, apples, bean sprouts, etc. Normally the Indonesian salad used green mango and had no fried crullers (油條), but here the chef seemed to have a Singaporean-influenced “fusion” version and used green papaya and fried crullers instead. So calling it 蝦羔什菜沙律 was probably more appropriate. The dressing, which relied heavily on Sambal Terasi (a type of Indonesian sambal with shrimp paste), palm sugar, tamarind, chili, etc, was too mild to the usual rendition I had in the past, and the pungent flavor of the terasi was not profound enough when mixed with the fruits. Was the chef afraid that we would be intimidated by authentic, bold flavors? He should have known his audiences better!

The Satay Combo 什錦沙嗲 shouldn’t be new to anyone, and our combo consisted of beef, pork, and chicken. All three types suffered from being too dry and tough, and the peanut sauce, again, was lacking the nutty peanut aroma. The Scrambled Egg with Singaporean Chili Crab Sauce 星洲辣蟹汁炒蛋 was the best of the three appetizers, and while it was still lacking strong and spicy seasoning, the scrambled egg was soft and the sauce added a slight sweetness which made it more palatable.

Mildness seemed to be a concurrent flaw for the dinner, as the Bak Ku Teh 馬來排骨茶 was again lacking depth and intensity. There was a lightly discernible herb and rib-meat flavor, but it was just not strong enough. Perhaps the kitchen didn’t have sufficient time to prepare the concoction, as I think the flavor would have improved significantly if the broth was further boiled down for more concentration.

The name Buttery Black Pepper Shrimps 牛油胡椒蝦 led me to believe that it would be full of buttery goodness and black pepper kick, but I wasn’t able to find either in the actual dish. I had high doubt that butter was really used, and the black pepper was probably ground too far ahead of time that all the aroma was lost before the dish was prepared.

When the much anticipated Hainanese Chicken 星洲海南雞 arrived, I was absolutely excited
as I was have been longing for the chicken jelly
! (as noticed by my neighbour 辣子!). I wasn’t disappointed, as there were plenty of chicken pieces full of semi-translucent jelly underneath the crispy thin skin.
The texture of the chicken was quite good, and none of the pieces that I tried were too dry to chewy. Too bad the chicken was close to flavorless (afterall, it was frozen chicken) and had to completely rely on the three condiments 三色醬 which weren’t particularly exceptional in my opinion. Nevertheless, I was sated by the chicken jelly, and almost forgot about the Hainanese Chicken Rice 雞油飯 which we kept waiting and waiting and waiting…

And after more than 20 minutes, the chicken rice finally descended to our table. Everyone immediately dig into the gigantic bowl, only to find that the rice was quite hard and dry, with the chicken oil and flavor insufficient to lubricate the rice. Probably worked for those who liked rice on the hard side, but it was just too underdone for my taste.

Chili Crab 星洲辣椒蟹 was another dish that I was eager to try, but this version was again more on the sweet side of the flavor spectrum. The crab meat was a little stringy without oil-blanching beforehead, albeit meaty and big. The pool of sauce, while sweet and not spicy as one would have expected, actually tasted fine and went well with rice, and if there was bread or roti I would have probably soak it up as dipping sauce.

Rendang Beef 印尼巴東牛肉 was definitely not very Indonesian, probably more Singaporean or Malay in style, as I couldn’t identify the turmeric flavor in the seasoning spice. While I don’t want to sound like a broken record, this dish again suffered from mild seasoning. The beef was tender though, so it was fine when a bit of chili sauce was added.

After a long delay, the Chai Tau Kueh 星洲鴛鴦炒蘿蔔糕, Sambal Okra 參巴手指豆, and Laska 蝦膏鮮椰汁叻沙 finally showed up. The fried radish cakes were done in two ways, one with dark soy and the other with pickled radish and eggs. The flavor was pleasant but the radish cakes were too mushy that it was hard to pick up by chopsticks. The laska was a pleasant surprise, with the delectable coconut broth complemented extremely well with the two types of noodles (油麵和米粉). Every slurp was a combination of mouthwatering flavor and texture. Delicious!

After three hours of eating, drinking, and waiting came the 4 desserts: 摩摩喳喳、紅豆冰、雪糕涼粉、馬六甲椰汁西米. These got to be the most authentic of all the dishes tthat night! In particular, the sago pudding 馬六甲椰汁西米 tasted exactly like the ones that I had in my childhood with the coconut milk and dark kopi syrup creating a sugary swirl, and together with other desserts, a series of childhood memories suddenly appeared in front of me like a movie.

What makes Southeast Asian food special is the intense assertive flavors that smack you in the face, but overall the food at Satay Inn was just too timid to have such impact. I think the kitchen was probably not experienced in managing dinner feast for such a large group of customers, and hence the quality of food suffered quite a bit when compared to their usual standard (as seen from previous positive reviews).

Although the dinner had some misses and suffered quite a bit in service, there were still plenty of enjoyable moments, like the celebration of our friend’s birthday with the delicious Mimosa napoleon expertly cut up and plated by CSY and the savory and sweet bird nest’s pudding by Superbaby. We joked, we laughed, and we sweated, not from the spicy food but from the lack of air conditioning
, but yet I really got an immense amount of pleasure just spending with a group of friends who all love food! 公子, thank you once again for all the work you put in to provide us with the opportunity to share food and friendship. I look forward to another gathering with more fun and laughs!

印象中, 沙嗲軒的其中一個賣點是它帶有熱帶風情的裝修, 如天氣不太熱的話, 坐在 open air 位置其實更有風味。不過今晚卻佈置成宴會場地, 我們真夠面子啊。一如以往, 未吃先喝, 我們那桌的酒一字排開, 挺有氣勢吧! 可能是人多, 坐坐下都開始有點熱, 大家暫且幻想自己去了南洋...

好了, 開飯喇!


蝦羔什菜沙律 - 應是「羅惹」(rojak), 在新加坡很流行的一種馬拉菜, 是青瓜、沙葛、菠蘿、油條等伴以蝦醬、花生和辣椒混成的醬汁, 又甜又鹹, 當中蔬果的爽脆又有油條的軟腍, 怪怪的但又幾得意。

星洲辣蟹汁炒蛋 - 帶甜的炒蛋, 有著點點辣椒油的痕跡, 不過對於在座幾位辣妹來說, 還是有點不夠喉。

什錦沙嗲 - 有雞牛豬三款, 有勞公子為大家講解啥是啥, 因為多燒得像非洲來的, 好難分啊
。也許是晚人多, 店方應也很久也未試過一開如此多圍, 所以在火候的控制上有點失手了。猶幸濃郁花生醬底的沙嗲醬拿回少許分數, 但也未能挽回粗鞋的肉串之劣勢。


排骨茶 - 即是肉骨茶, 未上先看配料有黑醬油、辣椒、炸乾蔥和油條, 也算對路。肉骨茶是每人一盅上的, 有心思。一般來說, 在星馬地區吃到的肉骨茶, 星洲式的偏重胡椒味, 而馬來式的就藥材味多些, 有時還會下海鮮等其他材料; 但這晚的卻兩面不是人, 湯茶只有個性缺缺的醬油味。倒是那條排骨肉質軟腍, 點濃稠黑醬油吃還好。但比起年前來吃的, 也真的差得遠也。

牛油胡椒蝦 - 算是較有水準的一道。不熱 (也是這晚菜色的通病), 蝦是用牛油炸好再加粗黑胡椒碎兜炒而成, 不同於星洲名菜胡椒蟹那種勁濃勁辣的黑椒醬做法。蝦身鹹香脆口, 可連殼吃, 碟底沒有太多油份, 最宜配乾身白酒吃。

星洲海南雞配油飯 - 其實這道菜我應要分雞和飯兩部分來寫! 那碟排得靚靚的雞和蘸醬上桌後, 久久未有人動手, 只有身旁的 Little Meg 在進攻她夢寐以求的「雞啫喱」! 因為大家都在等那油飯啦...老實說雞肉算嫩滑, 不過卻是沒有什麼味道 (正常的, 因為吃海南雞, 其實是吃醬多過吃雞嘛)。至於那三色醬 - 黑醬油、辣椒醬和蔥油, 前兩者在水準之中, 蔥油再香一點則更好了。

等了又等15 分鐘之後, 油飯終於來了! 大家對它毀譽參半, 有人說太硬, 卻有食友喜愛這種質感。平心而論這個飯無論是溫度、油潤度和濕度都有改善的空間, 不過香倒是幾香的, 只是連我這「死硬派」油飯的支持者都覺得飯太乾了。

星洲辣椒蟹 - 不太喜歡吃蟹, 對拆蟹這門學問也頗為感冒, 所以只嘗了兩口旁邊的辣椒汁。一如所料的是甜甜的味道, 辣度對我來說只是小兒科, 不大過癮。

巴東牛肉 - 沒有吃。不過這好像是印尼菜不是星馬菜啊。但據印尼菜達人 Little Meg 聲稱, 是做得幾正宗的。

沒在餐單上出現的炒毛茄 - 即是大家吃日本或泰國菜是會吃到的秋葵, 滑嘟嘟的毛茄浸在同樣滑溜溜的濃厚椰汁咖哩底裡, 挺有特色不過就不是人人愛吃啦。

星洲炒蘿蔔糕 - 當地人叫「炒粿條」, 今次用了兩種作法: 深色的是加了黑醬油炒的, 但似乎不大上色也不夠味; 另一種就是加蛋、蝦等等拌炒, 就腍腍的一口粉, 麻麻地矣, 還是在大牌檔即炒熱辣辣的好吃。

蝦膏鮮椰汁叻沙 - 應是全餐最好味的東西! 橙紅色帶油光的蝦湯底, 入口是順滑的椰汁香, 不錯。麵條用上正宗的「摻摻」即油麵和米粉兩溝, 粗幼交錯跟煙韌和軟腍的對比很有趣。


星馬甜品

美好的, 都留給最後...

吃過多款主菜, 再加上又有食友得到 surprise 生日驚喜, 大家分甘同味之後, 已飽到十足十了, 是時候啟動後備甜品胃應戰!
各式地道甜點中, 最愛的是馬六甲椰汁西米, 是西米布丁加上焦糖醬 (還是咖啡?) 和椰奶, 正式是「甜椰椰」, 涼涼 QQ 的。雪糕涼粉, 賣相平凡味道也在預計之中, 不過學食友話齋, 是吃小時候的味覺回憶。摩摩喳喳, 也是椰汁當道, 當中的蕃薯和芋頭居然有點爽口!

最後吃的一道紅豆冰, 為高潮迭起的一餐再掀起一浪! 一大座 shocking pink 雪糕刨冰山, 令人不禁嘩然!
粉紅色糖水冰自然帶點藥水味, 冰山下面是色彩繽紛的糯米珠珠和甜紅豆等, 也很甜。

顯然這晚人手是有點緊張, 難免有甩漏之處。有勞各位籌委大人的張羅了。
Anyway, cheers to life!

希望是, 「最好的, 尚未來臨」。

由原來的四圍檯增加到六圍,包下主廳大伙兒熱鬧的歡聚分享佳餚,好不熱鬧,南亞一帶有著不少華僑,吃飯當然也要以圓檯為主,是夜氣氛真的太「熱」鬧,冷氣似乎又真的唔多夠,尤其內堂位置尤為明顯,最後連酒店惟一一把風扇都要出動埋。
串燒之前先打兩味前菜,印尼蝦膏沙律星洲辣蟹汁炒蛋,吃過幾次這裡的印尼蝦膏沙律,沙葛做膽,再加埋青瓜、菠蘿、紅蘋果還有通菜,幾款材料切得咁上下大,從來都是甜美清爽,但味道從來都是鬼死咁甜。
今次叫師傅下重些蝦膏,不要那麼甜啦!是夜賣相還是「烏卒卒」,其貌不揚,食味卻是不錯的,沙葛爽甜,青瓜同出面做法一樣是肉厚的品種,是夜的Rojak汁是無平時咁甜,但出到來結果都係偏甜,有花生碎的香,微微的檸檬汁吊吊味,喜歡甜的自己是Ok的,而寫菜時談起泰國青木瓜沙律,就叫師傅順手加埋,星、馬、泰共惹一爐Fusion一點,切片青木瓜爽口都吃得下的。
星洲辣蟹汁炒蛋,星洲的朋友炒蟹從來不打芡,出到來的效果卻是稠杰,汁全都比眼前這隻蛋吸收了。食友話蛋無蟹味,當本地星洲館子做炒辣蟹都要預訂時,作為副產品的炒蛋,似乎又變得理所當然地欠鮮吧...用調好的番茄、辣椒蟹醬作汁,炒蛋結果就成了甜酸蛋,當然又是以甜味為主,汁杰杰的成醬被蛋索盡,暖暖的不錯,當然有更惹味的版本在尖東好時沙嗲。

三式沙嗲串燒拼盤,待兩味前菜清完就從後而置,雞、豬、牛每檯兩打多一點,醃得夠味,帶有南薑、香茅薄薄香味,怕食友唔吃牛,走了兩圈用埋Menu同文並茂解釋過豬同牛的分別...串燒普通是唔熱,自己吃的只是正常室溫的效果,此品唔熱效果絕劣,已同店方反映過,似乎是廚房太少人太多之故,雖說南亞菜唔要求大部分中菜咁要熱辣辣先好吃,但保溫上也該化多些功夫吧。而招牌的沙嗲醬,有花生烘焙過的香,還有香茅、南薑炒製成的味道,幾甜口的,味道還可以。

馬來排骨茶,盛行於南洋華僑圈子,如本地清湯小店,各家有各家風味。為免麻煩,將大鍋上轉做一人一碗,吃起來也會方便些;是夜的肉骨有藥材煲出的香,但味道很薄,不是平時水準,是廚房同餐廳距離太遠,再加上分碗上需時吧,喝起了是暖而唔夠熱,肉排鬆腍好吃的,蘸的黑豉油是師傅特別安排的,說是地道的吃法,倒算有些誠意。
無熱度的胡椒蝦,胡椒味及牛油產生的香要有適當熱力下會產生香味,蝦肉質還好,但就無法子接受以涼盤方式吃的胡椒蝦,吩咐廚房以下來的唔熱唔準上。

辣蟹來之前,先吃味道清一點的星洲海南雞,是坡式做法,浸雞伴雞油飯同三色醬,強烈要求師傅要用上稠身的黑豉油,不要什麼迎合市場口味的淡薄黑汁。海南雞原隻上,皮不算厚肉亦纖嫩有彈性,雞胸吃起來不過韌,蘸上磨得纖細的薑蓉吃,黑豉油是原裝濃稠版,配套認真,味道亦佳,浸煮的功力好,皮下有著一層「Jelly」,希望食友Little Meg吃得滿意。與身邊食友討論開海南雞,這雞比坊間玻式海南雞做得好吃,泰式的話跑馬地大少爺是不二之選。
雞油飯不是這裡強項,不及《好時沙嗲》粒粒油光滿面的油香好吃,海南雞飯油香不夠怎會好吃?自己那檯夠熱亦夠味,其他檯的風味不一,是夜雞油飯版本真的層出不窮...
辣蟹汁炒蟹,是一味考廚功的海鮮,肉蟹殼厚是很難做到肉嫩而又入味的效果,是夜蟹無泡過油,與辣蟹汁同炒,吃起來是難以做到鮮嫩效果,也是食友說肉粉腍的原因,番茄為主的醬汁又是偏甜的。
印尼巴東牛肉是「濕版」做法,不是用牛腩而用牛柳,位置不同效果亦自然有分別,牛柳本身是靚貨,取什麼部分來炆亦有學問,牛柳同混有南薑、香葉及最重要的椰醬慢慢煮,不能急,牛柳鬆腍有南薑及香料柔和的香味,亦吃到椰醬甜美,滿意的。
吃到尾的鴛鴦蘿蔔糕,又是廚房少人數多的味道,不夠熱辣惹味外,亦是偏腍欠口感,同大家一樣,是幾失望的。
吃近十一時半,幾味甜品摩摩喳喳、紅豆冰、雪糕涼粉、馬六甲椰汁西米姍姍來遲,印尼長大的食友話是兒時的味道,很地道,幾味下重了椰奶的甜品,甜到死,免費任添的,甜魔們亦不客氣地添加再添加~
吃到十一時許,中途又加插了「五餅二魚」的有趣事件,一次吃上十二道菜,非平日的水準,出菜的時間亦攤得幾長,但幾味招牌菜如海南雞、巴東牛、Rojak等等都是做得好的,笑談之間又認識了一些新朋友,仍是開心的,謝謝各位參與。
謝謝KC、Kenneth Wan兄、KT兄、Fraz、Cicely等食友是夜幫忙。
謝謝Little Meg、Wilson、Li holang等食友送來的心意。
神秘活動小組的浪接浪笑聲~
非平日水準的排骨茶,味道可以再濃一點,當然是自家煲的比起坊間買藥包沖的有誠意。

Disclaimer: Malaysian, Singaporean, Indonesian, Thai and even Chinese provinces of the Monsoon region might carry similar common-denominators in terms of certain food styles, but due to my upbringing and spending parts of my life growing up as a pre-teenager 'against my personal will' in coastal Malaysia, perhaps my expectation and experience with such food is inevitably biased towards the Malaysian experience.
Ordered the following dishes:
1. Bak Ku Teh (肉骨茶) - When this arrived I knew but couldn't pinpoint a component that was missing compared to my past image, later on I finally recalled its missing the dried beancurds, which I think are essential in a dish like this to absorb the deep soup flavours. The taste of the 'Teh' was really great indeed, but it wasn't like that of true Malaysian style. Although this had a strongish medicinal taste which held a lot of complexity, it was slightly weak in pork taste but overwhelming in ginseng, longan and some spices influence.
The ones I'm used to drinking in Malaysia were also very medicinal, but probably more 當歸 and more powerful spices influence as well as having a deep deep molten pork flavour in the darkish soup, which somehow reminds me of Bovril beef stock (保衛爾?). It was a very deep profound taste. Having said that, SATAY INN's version was also very good. It came with dark soy sauce as well as Chinese Dough sticks, the latter was a bit unfresh IMHO. Nevertheless this was much better than a 'Teh' version I experienced a while back at a name forgotten Bak Ku Teh shop in 明園西街 in North Point, which has since disappeared from 2-3 years ago.
Score: 8.5/10

2. Tasting Platter with Beer - This set meal comes with a Tiger beef (replaced by Carlberg on this nite) and 4 small dishes for tasting. Chicken and Beef Satay, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Chai Tau Kueh (various spellings) and Gai Lan with salted fish.

Hainanese Chicken -
The chicken was slightly tasteless but it had a pleasant texture without being 霉霉 feeling. It really needed the sauces and dark soy sauce. Not bad but not impressive.
The rice was really lacking the garlic-chicken oil. Although I normally don't want a lot of it anyway as its too unhealthy, the version here was on the opposite spectrum and really needed more garlic and chicken oil taste to bring out its hidden flavour. Rice cooked slightly on the dry under-cooked side but I don't mind it personally.
7/10

Gai Lan with Salted Fish -
A seemingly coastal fishermen's dish ubiquitous with chinese in the world. This was done really well and the salted fish had a clean, pleasant umami filled flavour.
9.5/10

Chicken and Beef Satays -
These were very unsatisfactory. The beef texture was over-marinated to the point of being 霉yet still ultra dry and tough after cooking, not acceptable. Both chicken and beef had little apparent input from proper traditional seasoning, such as cumins, turmeric, grated ginger and lemon grass, etc, etc.
No meat taste, no sophisticated marination taste, bad textures, no charred taste either. Bad in every single aspect. Very bad renditions of 'satays' not just compared to Malaysian or Singaporean ones, but also to even ones served in say Australian Malaysian/Singaporean shops. There's no sweetened pineapples or onions either, only cucumbers, so its only half the real deal. No woven palm leaf wrapped rice puddings to go with the satays either.
Disaster = 3/10

Chai Tau Kueh/Kay (Fried Radish Cakes) - Slightly under fried as no crispiness on the edges of the white cakes, there's no radish taste, texture was slightly too floury, little sauce taste from Sambal or dried shrimps, etc. I do not purport to know how to cook this dish nor how to rate it accurately by pointing out all of its singular weaknesses, but I've certainly eaten it enough to know its not good here. I've recently had this same dish in another shop in 又一城 and both did really poor versions, whereas a shop in Melbourne I tried barely 6 months ago was really spot on.
5/10

3. Fried Rice with Eggs
This was slightly tepid but the flavour from the eggs was good. Its weird how this isn't entirely a Malaysian dish, with the slightly moist eggs and oily texture probably more of a Fujian or Taiwan dish unless its fried really dry, then it becomes more Cantonese. Used to eat this a lot with garlic in Malaysia for some reason, despite not being a national dish. Afterall, there's heaps of Chinese migrants on those shores.
7/10

****************************
On the menu, I noticed certain items which reminded myself of a distant nostalgic past... longly forgotten memories which have abated or simply been locked away started coming back in abundance, flashes of episodes returning to re-haunt my soul. I've almost forgotten
that I used to consume these stuff daily and even used to like them. Nowadays, whilst I don't detest such cuisine I find them slightly too rich, too bold or hot for my taste preference. Call me unexotic or boring - but that's what 童年陰影 is all about, isn't it?

About the service, it was quite friendly and comfortable, but not scot-free spotless. Some food description on the menu written in both chinese and english but without Malay/Singaporean names caught my attention, some beancurd something plus whatever, which didn't make a whole heap of inherent sense. I summoned the waitress for assistance as I was hoping to revisit the Pork Lobak dish in Hong Kong but she answered NO with a hesitant voice when questioned, despite seemingly not even knowing or hoping to know what I was trying to describe. A trend I've found in Hong Kong restaurants - whether it be waitstaff or chefs, who don't want to appear clueless infront of customers. The automatic response is often a 'Denial', which perhaps puts them in a better controlling position despite not answering my question. How pathetic... If I don't know the answer to certain things in life I'll obviously ask politely, or if I held the wrong knowledge will just admit it freely afterwards - what's the big deal? Ego? Who has an ego these days, its outdated... Its all about self-learning and correction and knowing how to ask the right questions rather than how to answer them. Anyhow, I didn't want to be a guinea pig on a 1st visit to here, so didn't order it and still haven't found out the true answer. Never mind - there's always a next time.

Food ranging from low '2's' to '3's' to 'mid-4' for the Bak Ku Teh. Overall, recommended but may be its just me, I didn't like the Satays here at all, when it should be the easiest dish to marinate and grilled well.

天氣轉了,又是吃惹味一點南亞菜好時機,年前在這裡同同事掃過餐牌,是有水準的星馬菜館,再來是要談些事,打幾味菜試試水準。

充滿著專奇色彩館子,現在由信和集團的管理,這裡的味道不禁令人聯想起尖東好時沙爹。播著「南國」的音樂,幾得意,叫了碟Rojak作開胃小吃,滿滿的一碟馬來風味沙律,清爽紅蘋果、酸甜罐頭菠蘿撈上花生醬及甜中帶鹹的蝦膏,非常開胃,還吃到不可缺的沙葛,是地道做法,味道偏甜了一點似乎是要遷就市場口味吧,吩咐了再來的時候,蝦膏的味調重手一點。

沙嗲串燒,半打分別有牛、豬及雞伴有青瓜及招牌沙嗲醬,雞、豬、牛皆醃得非相甜口,即燒的皮焦香肉軟熟,燒功很好,加上帶著濃濃花生香的甜沙嗲醬,要細心的吃才能分辨出豬、牛,簡單一點判別,是看竹纖。

馬來肉骨茶,上檯已聞到強烈藥材香,湯底濃郁沉厚,藥材香四溢,難得是藥膽香而不苦,加上蒝荽及炸蒜粒,非常好喝,而豬肋肉分量足,煮得骨肉分離,蘸以椒絲黑醬油,很正宗,還有油炸鬼,稍為「拖水」吃,美味。

半句鐘的時間,要傾的事情傾好了,胃納有限未能嚐真,不日之後,再試試廚子真功力。

期待來緊熱鬧的南亞之夜。

海南雞 + 油飯、鷄+豬串燒都是每次去必叫的食物!今次第一次試左個通菜牛腩煲,我覺得十分唔錯,牛腩夠淋,又入味.

上星期五晚無飯開,突然想食星洲蟹,同屋企人試下去呢度問下有無得食。點知老闆娘話無入蟹,叫我食蝦。No la! 不如食其他野啦。發現佢有個新嘅一人套餐,有齊佢嘅招牌菜:海南雞飯、串燒、炒芥蘭、炒蘿蔔糕,加一杯梳打冰,$150,每樣份量都好細,真係只夠一個人食。味道唔差,但就可能由於佢要全部野放在一隻長碟上,所以要煮齊至可以一齊出,搞到大部份食物都凍左,味道大打折扣!另外仲叫左個通菜牛腩煲,我覺得十分唔錯,牛腩夠淋,又入味,但我屋企人就話油左d。仲叫左個雙丸粉絲湯,味道就係味精水加油,唔多得。整體都ok啦,恆生同中銀卡有九折。
