Thai Basil (Moved) New Location

看戲後的晚餐。七點幾，唔少人，要等上十多分鐘先有位。泰式野，有好幾款小食都想食，同時又想食燒雞，跟套餐的組合差唔多，就唔再諗要個套餐。平日都係喜歡散叫，自由d，水準亦通常比套餐好，今日又試試套餐既水準如何。先黎拼盤，有軟殼蟹卷、蝦餅、春卷同魚餅。軟殼蟹，一大舊，夠酥脆，不過真係炸得幾油膩下；蝦餅同魚餅就一般，鮮美欠奉，不過就尚算彈牙；春卷，皮做得香脆，沒有投訴的地方。整體幾穩陣的泰式拼盤。烤蔬菜，係蘆筍同原個蕃茄。燒得夠香，灑幾粒鹽調調味，味道可以想像得到的烤蔬菜。燒雞，有點意外既係一大隻，份量十足。雞燒得皮脆肉嫩，食落有淡淡既香草味，係做得有水準既燒雞。另點既烤餅，軟熟鬆化的，不過未算太香，沒有咖哩黎送，齋食有點寡。餐有個desert，係香蕉布甸伴雪糕，香蕉味幾勁，伴有好多雲尼拿汁，撈埋雪糕同香蕉布甸一齊食，夠哂香。仲有兩杯table wine，酸酸的，雞都未食完，杯酒已經散左。想不到這個二人套餐有禁多野食，整體水準還可以，原來套餐也可以抵食的。

1-2-2011以前返過一段時間金鐘, 呢間開業多年的泰國餐廳卻一次都未幫襯過; 而是日捉了朋友來食「團年飯」, 純粹因為自己忽然想食炸軟殼蟹, 睇了食友 FL 的食評又好似幾吸引. 先飲杯 Lychee Ginger (non-alcoholic 版 $45): 由 lychee honey, lychee soda 及 ginger juice etc 溝成, 飲落係有汽的, 荔枝味唔「人工」, 少少酸, 薑汁的辛辣就係 "burp" 的時候最突出, 哈哈. 朋友飲 Thai Sugar Cane (non-alcoholic 版 $45), 由 sugar cane, mint, lemongrass etc 溝成, 飲落的確好勁 lemongrass 味, 幾甜, aftertaste 亦如朋友所講「似 bubble gum」, 感覺得意, 但味道其實怪怪哋, 唔喜歡.炸軟殼蟹 ($98): 為佢而來, 懶理佢是否「天下間極肥之物」了 粉漿薄, 炸得脆口, 食落亦好好「肉」/ 膏, 就咁食都幾香, 不過炸得太油膩了; 旁邊的魚露汁就又酸又鹹又 "fishy", 味道豐富

有些餐廳，是想去吃，但又未係Top Priority，所以往往想了幾年仍未成事，金鐘PP的Thai Basil就是一例。其實，每次在樓上戲院睇戲，都說要來一嚐，但不是時間緊迫，就是沒有位置，自己平時食飯又不一定諗起呢度，結果幾年都沒來過。直至某日，約朋友在金鐘晚膳，終於有機會來了。肚子餓，不說太多，單刀直入介紹食物。不，還是先喝點東西，Lychee Ginger名字也挺吸引。急不及待的喝一口，唔太甜，荔枝味亦不會很假，還嚐到少許薑汁，感覺很清新，我今次既選擇沒錯。吃泰菜，沙律似乎少不了，經常會吃到柚子沙律，今次轉轉口味，要吞拿魚青木瓜沙律。將木瓜刨成絲，配上青豆角、九層塔、檸汁等，味道帶點酸辣，口感清爽，胃口也即時開了。未幾，青邁小食拼盤亦送上。四款食品，蛇瓜和青瓜爽脆，也適合清味蕾；另兩款分別是窩巴和辣蝦片，兩者均屬香脆，跟豐富層次感的辣肉碎醬汁，是很好的拍擋。兩脆辣兩清爽的夾成為一個拼盤，最為恰當。在Menu上看到Thai Basil’s Choice，我想應該是廚師推介之類的東東，所以目光亦專注在此欄上。好的，先試老虎蝦黃咖喱，開邊的虎蝦燒香，大大啖咬下去，肉質彈牙，又香口，只嫌

It was my first time to this Thai Basil, although it was a last minute booking but the waitress was very kind to put us to a corner table.My first impression was that the restaurant was very spacious and "dark"!Then a waiter came to take our drink order and I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigrio and two glasses of water. The wine came with no time but he seems to have forgot our water which I had to remind him again.We had ordered sauteed morning glory 泰蒜蝦干炒通菜($68), 1/2 dozen char grilled chicken

We were in the area, so ma and I decided to go to Thai Basil. I know i recently went Phukets, but the menu here is pretty non-traditional Thai food, so it was fine by me. Plus, I don't mind having hot and sour foods every day! "Hot and Sour Rock Lobster Soup" ($68)rock lobster pieces, cherry tomatoes, shallots, ginger, hot and sour brothA very strongly-flavoured soup of equal spicy and sourness. I enjoyed this mug of soup (despite its high sodium content), but the ridiculously over-cooked lobste

又到sunday出街食飯的日子,今次選擇泰菜.Thai Basil的環境充滿泰式風情,但食物質素似乎比以前遜色了.可能位置有利,吸引好多遊客光顧.今晚點了雞牛豬沙爹,味道一般,反而沙爹醬更為出色.冬蔭公湯味不夠濃、熱,香茅味不特出.咖喱大蝦的汁太稀,不夠野味!馬拉盞通菜普通過普通,海鮮炒飯有穫氣,不俗.寄予厚望的甜品香蕉布甸伴雪糕實在太太太甜,自問嗜甜的我亦要投降!想食美味及正宗泰菜,都是九龍城穩陣.

行完街,唔知食咩好,朋友就提議黎PP Thai Basil.一睇價錢,0係PP黎講真係算平,難怪食完之後出面仲有好多人等位.3個人叫左...2杯drinks,唔記得左個名,都幾好飲!柚子沙律,唔知點解好鬼辣,如果食得辣既都會覺得幾好味!炒通菜,好味!炸軟殼蟹,必食,讚讚讚!青咖哩蝦炒飯,普通,可以試其他野.服務唔錯,可以再黎!

黎金鐘睇戲, 要搵間怏、靚、正既開左飯先入埸, 一諗就諗起呢度。 生吞拿魚青木瓜沙津: 夏天食, 清爽之選。 炸軟殼蟹: 炸得脆而唔厚。 香茅大蝦: 隻蝦幾大又爽, d 香茅切絲炸脆左好香。 香蕉蛋糕伴雪糕: 鍾意食甜野既人一定要叫, 好香好好味, 個sauce 係精髓, 每次黎呢度, 我都寧願叫少d 咸野, 留番個肚食呢個正餐。

Been here quite a few times, always leave satisfied with the service and food.Service is not bad. A bit of a line but they got us to our table quickly and also gave us our warm water promptly. They also refilled our water without us having to ask, which is quite an important service element to us.Food is served quickly. This time we ordered the mango paper roll (Mango 米紙卷) (mango, shredded carrots, shredded beets, wrapped in rice paper with sweet chili sauce), thai green curry mixed vegetables 青

Too expensive for thai food...and very poor service...Ordered a set lunch at around 250 hkd per head. Pad thai was not the best.Pomelo salad was ok.Service was bad not even a smile...

這是我第一次來的餐廳，感覺舒服平和，招呼亦很友善週到，雖門口已有眾多客人等位，但亦沒漏單、怠慢之感，上菜時間適中，一碟跟一碟排隊上枱，適合三五知己相聚閒談，一路傾、一邊吃，又不怕餸菜攤涼。感覺很不錯啊﹗泰式炸蝦餅 4件 --- 不膩、香口，值得推价串燒雞、牛、豬 --- 各兩串，頗大串，適合幾位女孩子Share，每類都可以試試古法燒鱔 --- 我的最愛，未有驚喜，不算特別，但好好味﹗泰式炒大蝦金邊粉 + 炒通菜 --- 好多辣椒，惹味，不過未必人人啱食，可以加句﹕『勁小辣』。甜品 --- 選擇不多，亦不算特別，但賣相標緻﹗總括來說，豐富、滿意、開心﹗，因為除了環境、味道以外，還有是 --- 對象也十分重要，今次是一位好受歡迎的主任，因升職而請的升職飯，當然令有感情分啦﹗值得一提，洗手間寛倘、舒服、而且整潔乾淨，每一格都有一塊大鏡子，本人很欣賞設計師很的心思同細心。

Among 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, there are meals that exciting and full of surprises but there are many that are plain boring. I feel bored even writing the review myself. Therefore, I am creating a new label / category named Boring Meal. Less description will be provided because they will be boring anyhow but I don't want to waste the pictures I have taken and deprive reader'sA semi-open kitchen approach but seemed like a semi-fast food counter to me from the speed of serving the dishes, bot

Went here for dinner with a friend. Ambiance is nice, dim lit, had comfy golden sofas in the center for seating, which was neat; liked the decor. Also made a reservation, in which they honored on time, so that was good.Food: Ordered Pad Thai, Mixed Satay skewers, Garlic sauteed spinach leaves. Pad Thai was good and authentic with the peanuts/chili flakes/raw bean sprouts to the sides of the plate so that you can distribute yourself. Also came with a good number of shrimp and hard bean curd s

今日由於有私人事請了半天假，時間沒那麼緊逼，所以就可以接太太下班，順道可以去平常較少去的金鐘吃晚飯。據太太所說，此餐廳的食物質素算是相當不錯，我自己因為沒試過，所以就決定一試了。由於抵達的時間只是6點多一點，顧客也不算多 (應該只有1半左右吧)，但記得到了7點左右的時候，餐廳己經全滿，而且外邊亦要等位，所以如果預算惠顧的時候較晚的話就要訂座了。從餐廳的佈置、裝修以及服務員的衣著，令我感覺到這餐廳是SELL現代泰式菜的，不過，有好些菜式都是傳統菜式來的，而且款式也算挺多。即使不吃辣的也有不少選擇。由於今次只有太太跟我兩位光顧，所以點的菜式也不能太多，是日點了生吞拿魚青木瓜沙律、脆炸軟殼蟹、大蝦炒泰米。另二人SHARE 一杯凍LYCHEE GINGER。LYCHEE GINGER : 原來以為這個飲杯是熱飲，誰不知原來可以選擇凍飲，心想凍的荔枝加薑的感覺也算是挺新穎的。此飲料是以荔枝蜜、荔枝汁、薑汁及梳打水'混'成的。與其說是薑汁，不如說是薑茸更貼切，所以它都會沉澱在下面，點了的話記緊要拌勻喇。個人就不怎麼感覺到有荔枝蜜了，不過梳打水、荔枝汁及薑汁的味道算是挺均勻；而且也沒有太辣的薑味，所

在PP AMC 看過 500 days with summer，順道往樓下吃晚餐。第一次晚飯時間去Thai Basil，感覺氣氛幽暗而舒適，weekday入座率約七成，無需等位。菜上很快，質素也不錯。 Mojito／很清新好喝，南洋菜香(薄荷葉)加酒香(Rum)，如吃辣，是必點之選。 海鮮炒有機糙米飯／飯粒半硬身，稍濕身而入味，個人很喜歡，帶子大蝦尤魚有鮮味，炒飯份量也比想象中多。 泰醬煮鱔／鱔很肥美，醬微辣也很惹味，不錯。 鵝肉帶子米卷／很香口，料不少，不錯。 孖串燒海鮮／男友說青口（兩隻）很不錯，我的帶子（三隻）也不差，只是性價比不高。吃過晚飯，仍可以慢慢坐，環境十分適合談心，加上地點便利，是個好地方。
