原來這裡晚市套餐,共有六道菜式,每位收費 $350, 不設加一,若自攜餐酒及生日蛋糕,更不收取任何開瓶費及切餅費用。安頓後,店員先送上前菜,香煎西瓜配海膽慕絲春卷,嘩,西瓜作飯後水果就吃得多,但以煎西瓜作頭盆,還是首次品嚐。把冰凍西瓜煎至內冷外熱,再鋪上蔥花、洋蔥粒和蒜粒等,味道鹹甜兼備,加上西瓜肉厚多汁,口感非常特別。至於以海膽入饌的春卷,吃起來海膽味雖不太濃厚,但入口外脆內甘甜,與煎西瓜味道十分匹配。

巴馬火腿黑松露沙律
,是食友至愛,巴馬火腿入口鹹度適中,香味輕柔細緻,用來配蜜瓜固然好吃,不過以此襯托味道清新芳香的黑松露意大利黑醋汁沙律,食味亦不俗。

松露野菌奶油濃湯
,湯身夠滑,濃稠度適中,入口更可嚐到野菌打出來的粒粒口感,味道唔錯,唯一可惜是松露分量不多,令食味打了點折扣。

主菜方面,共有三款選擇,由於這晚人多勢眾,一於全部試勻。先說這款鵝肝醬香草露筍雞卷,以烤雞起肉切件,再捲上露筍及鵝肝醬;露筍鮮嫩多汁,入口味道香濃,不過雞卷肉質就稍嫌有點過火,吃起來略帶嚡口。

芝士鮮番茄烤鮭魚
,初頭還有點怕濃味的芝士會搶去三文魚的風頭,估不到這客烤三文魚,魚肉油分極重,配上面頭一層甘香的芝士後,反而更能帶出三文魚的豐腴肥美,實在令人回味。

三款主菜中,就以這客比臉龐還要大的香煎美國安格斯肉眼,水準最不濟,肉質硬實,質感粗嚡,加上完全沒配菜伴碟,令賣相和食味都變得太過單調。

吃完三款主菜,本以為已到甜品時間,但廚子竟然再端上每人一客胡麻帆立貝蛋奶意大利麵,其實這麵條做法有點似 carbonara,不過加入了胡麻醬汁,令麵條味道變得微酸微甜,加上面頭超巨形的鮮甜帆立貝,可口味美。

甜品二選一,香濃朱古力慕絲及法式焦糖燉蛋,前者朱古力慕絲,可可味雖算濃郁,但柔滑度不高,加上味道偏甜,連向來嗜吃朱古力如我,亦覺得有點兒吃不消;反而後者的法式焦糖燉蛋,入口軟滑又有蛋香,水準不俗。

以一間新開的私房菜來說,其實這裡的菜式,論分量、論水準已合格有餘,只要於味道和宣傳上再下點功夫,相信識貨的食客,自然會找上門來。

I am beginning to like private kitchens because you get to discover every nook and cranny of Hong Kong!
Places where you thought a restaurant could not exist, it could be a private kitchen!!

Private kitchens are becoming more popular these days as more people are readily accepting them as restaurants just like those upstairs retail shops.

So far this is my favourite private kitchen, I think I like it because it is converted from an old residential flat, the ones that have three floors without an escalator.

As it has been opened for two months, I like the privacy as not many people know about it so far.
Ideally at the moment, it is great for public figures (公眾人物) to dine here or for them hold parties and celebrations such as the completion of filming (慶功宴).

Anyway, here was what we tried which is about $350 per person with no 10% service charge and corkage fee.

I was extremely impressed with the portion size because I was full after all that!

Even though I don't like watermelon, I have always wanted to try pan-fried watermelon after seeing it on some food show before.
It basically tasted the same as uncooked watermelon and it was still crisp.
I liked the spring onions, garlic and crushed peanuts that garnished it, because it got rid of that weird watermelon taste.
The other piece was sea urchin foam wrapped in filo pastry which was extremely light and delicate and the sea urchin in the middle has a faint taste of crab.

To be honest it was proscuitto ham and not parma ham as it was softer and not so waxy.
The proscuitto was quite salty but with the salad, the taste balanced and the portion of this as a starter was really generous.

It was cream of mushroom soup which is commonly served in lots of restaurants these days.
The foam on top just differentiated it from the rest and something that will make me remember this place.
It added a touch of gastronomy and sophistication (高雅) to the soup.
The truffle on top enhanced the flavour of the soup but if the soup was not that salty it would taste better.

The liver that they put in the middle was really velvety and soft which is achieved by using liver pate.
I was really impressed with these chicken rolls especially with the golden roasted skin on the outside and juicy chicken on the inside complemented with sweet asparagus and rich liver.
The roll was made with chicken thigh meat too which is nice and tender.

The pasta surprised me as well because the sauce was really nice, it had lots of bacon and onions which gave it a lovely smoky and sweet taste.
The sauce was also made with sesame and pepper.
On top there was a seared scallop too.

Chocolate Mousse:
The appearance of the mousse was slightly different from the usual mousses.
It had a lumpy surface.

After trying it, I realised there were pieces of chocolate sponge cake in it which gave it more depth and dimension.
The icecream on the side was equally as good because it had pieces of dark chocolate in it.
The portion size of this dessert was reasonably big.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
At the moment I would choose this place as my favourite private kitchen because the environment is good and the portions are big and suitable for guys.

I enjoy looking out from the plane, looking upon all the tiny brick-like houses and bright dots (aka cars) glidding around. I like it, because I like to be detached now and then, take a step back and feel/acknowledge how the world and lives around go on regardless. In Hong Kong, very often we are engulfed by things around us; the mass of people, the hustle and bustle, there seems to be no escape.
"Secrettaste", located right at the heart of causeway bay, was a pleasant little secret place to escape for a quiet, pleasant and promising, value-for-money dinner.



Slightly difficult to locate (as per the name
), for there is no sign both at the entrace of the building and front door (as of the night when I visited). Look out for "Joy and Peace" (the shoe shop), the staircase is right beside it. We ventured up one of those typical steep, slightly ran-down staircases in an old Chinese building ("唐樓"), but as we entered the silver gate and white door, we entered into a "secret place", a secluded spot; suddenly we were shut out from the hustle and bustle of causeway bay.
Simple decor with royal-purple wall linings and thick curtains, deep burgundy table linens and a candle on each table. Light-hearted music gently played at the background. The private glass room caught my eyes; I believe it could occupy around 10 people.

=


"Secrettaste" serves a set menu with 6 courses (!!!) for a very reasonable price of HK$350.

First course: Pan-fried watermelon and seafood mousse roll. An innovative dish. On the right was a thick juicy piece of watermelon topped with aromatic fried garlic and nuts, and bottomed with a thin lightly-roasted piece of pastry. A very interesting idea and thoughts were clearly put into this with the pastry-base balancing the distinctly-flavoured fried garlic and bringing all the elements together. While the fried garlic powder was pronounced, the natural sweet juiciness of the watermelon was not overpowered. For me, it was a refreshing and stimulating few bites. Some fresh greens in between. And to the left, it was the seafood mousse roll. The golden roll was generously stuffed and filled with the seafood-mousse-goodness and formed a cute fat roll. It displayed dense waves of seafood aroma (oh I could taste crab..) backed with buttery cheese flavours and with hints of uni seeping through. Tasty! It would be perfect if it is even crispier.

Second course: Parma Ham & Black Truffle salad. Delivered at a pleasing standard (trust me, I had the same salad elsewhere and it could actually go very wrong... and the set menu was even pricier
). The salad was very fresh; a colourful and crunchy mix of greens, diced tomato, red cabbage with balsamic vinegar and black truffle (wouldn't mind a bit more) dizzled on. The parma ham was each elegantly curled, lined up and served with a spot-on perfect temperate (frozen / over-cold parma ham, no.. merci..). The smoky and intense flavour was well reflected by the gorgeous silky pink each slice displayed; I was pleased to find a good fat balance as well.

Third course: Cream of Mushroom soup. Nice warm croissants came together (warm bread, essential!!). The soup was very inviting (beautiful foam in the middle..nice!
); coupled with the gentle scent of baked croissants, my senses were completely awaken. Just by giving the soup a quick stir, I knew that I was about to be treated well - dense, creamy, full-body and full of delicious ingredients (overwhelmingly generous amount of diced mushrooms and onions). The soul of the soup was the white creamy foam nesting the black truffle - the cream foam brought an extra dimension of butter and creaminess to the soup and the black truffle gave the soup a memorable and pronounced kick. It was one hearty bowl of soup. LOVE.

Fourth course: There were a nice 3 choices to pick from for the main course:- (a) Roasted Chicken Asparagus Roll with Goose Liver; (b) Grilled Salmon, Mozzarella & tomato; and (c) U.S. Angus Rib Eye Steak. I went for the Roasted Chicken Roll. The sweet aroma of freshly baked chicken and honey came with the dish. Well presented, with goose liver paste and asparagus packed tightly in the middle of the roll; it was served with roasted vegetable and potato coated with herbs. The chicken was nicely roasted retaining its moisture; I adored the honey glazed chicken skin which was grilled to a crispy touch. The contrasting mouthfeel of the creamy goose liver paste and fresh crunchy asparagus went very well together and livened up the tender chicken roll. The thick syrupy and gingery sauce brought intense honey and marmalade flavours to the savory roll. A delectable main.

Fifth course: Creamy Egg and Bacon Fettuccine with Sesame Sauce. When I saw this on the menu, I envisaged Spagehtti carbonara; but I was wrong
. The rich sesame scent really spoke through and brought a lovely twist of Japanese fusion to the pasta dish. The balance of creaminess was just right (it was not too heavy even after 4 courses), backed with hints of freshly chopped onion and earthy bacon! Nice touches with the rocket, the bitter-sweetness went well with the flavourful sesame edge of the pasta. Sizeable scallop on the top as well! (...The pasta looked more of spagehtti than fettuccine to me by the way...

Sixth course: 2 dessert choices to choose from:- (a) Chocolate Mousse and (b) Creme Brulee; my pick was Creme Brulee. Again, thoughts were put into the presentation (this I must applaud
) - brought to us was not just a regular boring pot of Creme Brulee; but
more, with berries and vanilla ice-cream. Not the most traditional take of the Creme Brulee, but the custard base was certainly rich, "eggy" and smooth - nicely done. Brittle caramel glaze on top, could be crispier and better so if it covered the entire face of the custard for a more dramatic effect. Fresh and fruity berries with icing powder sugared all over and milk chocolate sauce drizzled over the vanilla ice-cream. Loved the extra sweet touches.

=


From time to time, I dream of the grand opening of my very own cafe or restaurant. I guess this is a major reason backing my curiosity and cravings to try out new establishments around Hong Kong. Thanks a lot to the owner of Secrettaste for inviting me to taste at his new restaurant; it was a very pleasant experience, keep it up Secrettaste!

Maybe one day, I will invite you in return.

最近不其然咁愛上咗私房菜,因為嗒落...每間私房菜都有其個人風格及特色,而且又可以因應自己個人喜好,要求厨師作適度添減。而最主要,你真係可以食得到果份將全付心思放晒落去煮嘅味道!另外開得出私房菜,嘢食絕對唔差得去邊,最低限度唔洗貼錢買難受,點都對得住自己條脷先!
所以,一路落來都前後去過港九近十間唔同菜式嘅私房菜,而且每一間都係水準甚高,除咗抵唔抵食一話,很少可以搵到有嘢挑剔!但給我印象最深刻嘅,始終要數Secretland,原因係有兩個:
1. 十分超值,人頭費220,十款美食,點計都划算到爆。
2. 神秘感十足。除非你要知,否則喺你開餐之前,你都唔會知道你將會食D乜,因為佢只會問你唔食D乜,而唔會話你知有D乜食。

所以對於Secretland,計落都去過三數次,而且每次都係食得開心滿足。佢係其中一間,我會一而再,再而三咁去食嘅私房菜不特止,亦都係我十分推荐俾身邊朋友嘅一間私房菜之一。
最近痴起條根又想去,於是打去Book位,點知就吃咗閉門羹,因為已經滿座。知道我係熟客,老闆於是乎推薦我去佢老友果間SECRETTASTE,收費$350/HEAD(比Secretland貴得多,足足貴50%有突,但喺私房菜嚟講,其實相當合理)。不過有D驚,因為當其時搵唔到佢任何資料,但基於對Secretland嘅信任,於是本住一試無防嘅心態,照去啦!

7點零上到去(條樓梯有點難頂,不但有點窄兼且有點斜,大熱天行到上去己經汗意盎然😓)先知道原來係新開(真係好新,後來先知道原來我就係果度的第二枱客,白老鼠2號😅😅)。

屋內以紫色為主,配以紅色枱布及球形吊燈,說不上高貴更稱不上華麗,而且俾人感覺有D Leung,但加上燈光嘅效果,感覺十分舒適,亦別有一番風味。屋內另有一間玻璃房,掛咗幅相當別緻的吊簾,因而令房內若隠若現,為間房增添幾分神秘氣息。但眼見房內擺咗D雜物,明顯還未READY接客,本來己有轉位打算因而作罷。由於當晚只得我們一枱客兩丁友,所以環境十分寧靜,兼且唔洗驚隔枱有耳,可以暢所欲言,加上播住優雅的雀屎音樂,亦開正我們果飯,倍加舒適!

坐低片刻,頭盤 parma ham黑松露salad便已煮好,接住係 磨菇濃湯,之後到主菜之一,朋友揀咗 芝士番茄烤Salmon,而我則擇揀咗 白酒煮籃青口,然後係 牛肝菌天使麵,以及甜品 特濃朱古力慕絲。
對於個salad,雖然燈光有D暗,但卻冇掩去Parma Ham亮澤嘅油光,可見所選用應屬上剩貨色,嗒落富海鹽嘅鹹香,回甘豐盈。最好要配合salad菜一齊食,可感低Parma Ham嘅強烈鹹味。但若果有紅酒,則建議淨吃,將薄片捲起放入口中慢慢咀嚼,送上一口紅酒,係人生美妙嘅享受之一。呢道salad,獨特之處在於個salad汁,厨師選用咗意大利黑醋為基汁,再配以其它其它香料,味道討好。略嫌黑松露份量太少,若能放多些,則更出色。用意大利黑醋為基汁雖並不新穎,但能做得好,實在唔多。
磨菇濃湯,呢道餸其實真係千篇一律,飲嚟飲去,都係果D味,而實在太耐,未曾有過驚喜。但呢晚居然俾喺度搵到第一千零一篇,然而說穿了其實好簡單,只不過是對湯中每款元素嘅份量拿捏得精準而已,當然還有火候。但話咁易,要做到,絶對係難度爆燈。所以呢道磨菇濃湯算做得十分出色,色香味都配合得恰到好處,如果可以加小小白松露粉調味,簡直完美。

可能由於之前兩道前菜嘅出色,而產生咗期望,所以來到主菜反而有點兒失望了。先係籃青口,用料夠大隻,應該係法國貨。但個汁的味道太濃,而份量亦稍多,搶咗主角嘅鮮味。個人覺得可以將汁適當校稀,而且奶及芝士嘅份量再減少一D,應該會更好味。但當然可能只不過係我期望太高而己,其實是可以接受的味道!

至於個三文魚,焗過火了,令魚肉肉質偏干而唔够滑(其實厨師上呢道菜時亦有提過個魚有D過火,由於時間關係,來唔切再整,叫我們將就一次),呢D服務態度真係冇得頂。調味不俗,用清淡口味芝士,而且份量適當,不會太搶因而可相得益章,相當可口。但最欣賞係當中伴菜----露筍,因為平時食露筍,唔係煮得太老,就係一浸草腥味,但呢幾條則煮得啱啱好,保留咗其清新爽脆嘅特質,而又完全唔覺有唔够熟帶嚟嘅草腥味,一個字"掂"。

另一主菜牛肝菌天使麵,係筆者十分推介嘅一道菜。原因係麵煮得好,汁亦校得惹味,彈牙而不至於硬(要及時食,擺耐咗會失去呢種質感)。選用了黃牛肝菌來做汁,味道配合討好。
至於甜品,由於本人從來都唔多喜好,所以只係公式化咁吃咗𠱁,感覺又香又滑。但由於對甜品素無心得,究竟好唔好、好係邊、好幾多,實在毫無頭緒,所以不作評論。但見朋友食完重想食埋我個份,肯定唔會難食。

對於該晚的菜餚,可用相當滿意來形容,但有個問題,就係食得太飽。原因,係每道餸嘅份量都好多,後來與厨師寒暄先知,原來份量比正常大咗,由於兩個人份量,買料通常都比較麻煩而要買多D。Haha...聽完佢咁講,突然有種掙咗嘅感覺,真係鬼死咁開心。希望第日可有機會再返啅,一試佢其它的菜式,亦期待佢再帶俾我驚喜.....
Other Info. : 餐飯食到11點幾先走,後來SECRETLAND老闆還專誠上來打招乎吹水,真係開心的一晚...... 每每預覧返自己編食評,便有十足十出自善稿佬之手的感覺😅😅!但筆者寫下評述,只為個人喜好!可惜生性懶惰,又忙又懶得post,而且亦冇留影,故也沒相片供予參考。對於筆者評述,純粹只屬表達個人拙見及分享,絕無惡意中傷之心!若有錯漏,還請見諒並不吝賜教為荷!

對於個salad,雖然燈光有點昏暗,但並沒有掩去Parma Ham亮澤的油光,可見所選用的應屬上剩的貨色,嗒落富海鹽的鹹香,回甘豐盈。最好配合salad菜一齊食,可感低Ham的強烈鹹味。但若果飲紅酒,則建議淨吃,將薄片捲起放入口中慢慢咀嚼,送上一口紅酒,係極美妙的享受。呢道salad,獨特之處在於個salad汁,厨師選用咗意大利黑醋為基汁,再配以其它其它香料,味道討好。略嫌黑松露份量太少,若能放多些,則更出色。用意大利黑醋為基汁並不新穎,但能做得好的,實在唔多。

磨菇濃湯,呢道餸其實真係千篇一律,因為實在太耐,未曾有過驚喜。但呢晚居然可以俾我搵到第一千零一篇,但說穿了好簡單,其實只不過係厨師對湯中每個元素的份量拿捏得精準而已,當然還有火候。但話就易,要真係做到,絶對係難度爆燈。所以呢道磨菇濃湯做得十分出色,色香味都配合得恰到好處,如果可以加小小白松露粉吊一吊味,簡直完美。

可能因為之前的兩道前菜的出色,而產生咗對主菜的期望,所以來到主菜反而有點兒失望。先係籃青口,個汁的味道太濃,而份量亦稍多,所以搶咗主角青口的鮮味。個人覺得可以將個汁校稀D,而奶的份量減dd應該會更好味。當然呢道餸絶非唔好,只不過係我期望太高而己。

至於個三文魚,則有D過火,令魚肉質有點干而唔够滑(其實厨師上呢道菜時亦有提過個魚有D過火,由於時間關係,來唔切再整,叫我們將就一次),呢D服務態度真係冇得頂。調味不俗,相當可口。最欣賞的係當中伴菜---露筍,因為平時食露筍,唔係煮得太老,就係一浸草腥味,呢度煮得啱啱好,保留咗其清新爽脆的特質,而又完全唔覺有唔够熟所帶來的草腥味,簡直就係一個字"掂"。

另一主菜牛肝菌天使麵,係我十分推介的一道菜。原因亦係因為麵煮得剛剛好,彈牙而不至於過硬(要及時食用,擺耐咗會失去麵的質感)。菜中選用了黃牛肝菌來做汁,味道配合亦相當討好,非常惹味。

至於甜品,由於本人從來都不好,所以只係公式化咁食咗一口,感覺又香又滑。但由於本人對甜品素無心得,所以對於個甜品好唔好、好係邊、好幾多,實在毫無頭緒,所以不作評論。但見朋友食完重想食埋我個份,應該唔差。

對於該晚的菜餚,可用相當滿意來形容,但有樣想提一提,就係食得太飽。原因係每道餸的份量都好多,後來與厨師寒暄先知,原來份量比正常大咗,由於兩個人份量,買材料通常都D有難度。Haha...聽完佢咁講,突然有種掙咗的感覺,真係鬼死咁開心。當然希望有時機再返啅,期待一試佢其它的菜式,期待佢再帶俾我驚喜.....

Other Info. : 由於有酒飲的關係,餐飯食到11點幾先走,後來SECRETLAND老闆還專誠上來打招乎,同佢吹咗陣水。真係開心的一晚......

Have a gathering with my friend.
This time doesn't want anything boring
Searching in Openrice and found out this restaurant without any comments
We guess it should be a new one so I and my friend have curiosity to try.

We called 2 days ago. And the chef immediately sent us a menu. We found that it is a private home cuisine which is a kind of home catering that features traditional family recipes.
意式芝士焗番茄

巴馬火腿黑松露沙拉

磨菇濃湯

( 以下三選一 )
(a)鵝肝醬露筍烤雞卷
(b)芝士鮮番茄烤三文鱼
(c)香煎美國黑豬扒

牛肝菌天使麵

以下二選一
(x)特濃朱古力慕絲
(y)香橙焦糖布甸

We have chosen 1a1b1x1y which can try more.
We booked the table at 1930 and arrived 15 minutes earlier. Everything was set. The atmosphere (dimmed lights with candles on each table) was great with love songs playing. After settling down, the chef asked us whether we were ready.

For the意式芝士焗番茄, cheese and tomatoes are perfect matched. Maybe I and my friend love cheese so much! Melted cheese is so marvelous.
For the soup, mushroom taste is heavy. I think for people like heavy taste must love it.
巴馬火腿黑松露沙拉, I like parma hams. My friend likes the salad.
(a)鵝肝醬露筍烤雞卷
My friend said it is so fresh. 露筍is fresh sweet. The mouth feel of baked chicken is so tender.
(b)芝士鮮番茄烤三文鱼
Again, cheese and tomatoes. Haha….Salmon is medium done. Not bad!
牛肝菌天使麵
The portion was just right. Smelled good and tasted good.
(x)特濃朱古力慕絲
Chocolate was smelled good but not creamy enough.
(y)香橙焦糖布甸
Orange and caramel is matched. Never tasted before. Good!

Overall, it is good for a new restaurant. So I WILL BE BACK!
