我的優質下午-灣仔星街Principal一個下大雨的下午,跟好友相約在星街九號,一間躲在街角盡頭的西餐廳。那裡有我最愛的落地玻璃窗好讓我看樹又看雨,也有簡單舒服如家般的室內設計,令人忘掉外面灣仔金鐘的煩囂,專心欣賞這間米芝蓮星級餐廳的藝術品。為什麼我説藝術品?因為賣相漂亮,每道菜都美得像幅畫。我的前菜,是乾煎鱿魚。魷魚以煙肉卷起再煎香,令肉味輕滲魷魚之中,再配以酸酸的黃色醬汁,悅目又可口,絕對是夏日最佳前菜。主菜是煎魚。魚的名稱是Pollock,產於北大西洋,口感像鱈魚,但皮更QQ。此道菜配以橙色醬汁,放在一個純黑的,預熱了的碟子上,賣相精緻得不捨得吃。摸到碟子的熱力,知道廚師希望客人趁熱吃的苦心,才把心一橫,狠狠地把魚切開,放到咀𥚃,品嘗它的嫩、香和滑溜。再沾點伴碟的咖哩汁同吃,一濃一淡,陰陽調和。碟未冷前,我已把食物吃光,並以麵包沾走所有醬汁,一滴不留,完全尊重廚師的心機心血。埋單找數,為港幣330。不算便宜,但我認為十分值得。

我的優質下午-灣仔星街Principal

一個下大雨的下午,跟好友相約在星街九號,一間躲在街角盡頭的西餐廳。那裡有我最愛的落地玻璃窗好讓我看樹又看雨,也有簡單舒服如家般的室內設計,令人忘掉外面灣仔金鐘的煩囂,專心欣賞這間米芝蓮星級餐廳的藝術品。
為什麼我説藝術品?因為賣相漂亮,每道菜都美得像幅畫。
我的前菜,是乾煎鱿魚。魷魚以煙肉卷起再煎香,令肉味輕滲魷魚之中,再配以酸酸的黃色醬汁,悅目又可口,絕對是夏日最佳前菜。
主菜是煎魚。魚的名稱是Pollock,產於北大西洋,口感像鱈魚,但皮更QQ。此道菜配以橙色醬汁,放在一個純黑的,預熱了的碟子上,賣相精緻得不捨得吃。摸到碟子的熱力,知道廚師希望客人趁熱吃的苦心,才把心一橫,狠狠地把魚切開,放到咀𥚃,品嘗它的嫩、香和滑溜。再沾點伴碟的咖哩汁同吃,一濃一淡,陰陽調和。碟未冷前,我已把食物吃光,並以麵包沾走所有醬汁,一滴不留,完全尊重廚師的心機心血。

I booked  The Principal for my wife and I on a fairly last minute whim/psuedo celebration on a deal completed....I will admit I tried to get a reservation in a couple of other restaurants prior to the Principal (Bombana and the new Gordon Ramsay amongst them) none of which could not give me the time I needed (we needed a fairly early time (7pm) to get back to the suburbs for the Kids babysitter to get home on time)...the Principal was easy on the time, which did slightly worry me for a 2 Star es

I booked  The Principal for my wife and I on a fairly last minute whim/psuedo celebration on a deal completed....I will admit I tried to get a reservation in a couple of other restaurants prior to the Principal (Bombana and the new Gordon Ramsay amongst them) none of which could not give me the time I needed (we needed a fairly early time (7pm) to get back to the suburbs for the Kids babysitter to get home on time)...the Principal was easy on the time, which did slightly worry me for a 2 Star establishment expecting a smug sorry sir "all booked".  Part of me worried about the ease of last minute booking

Arriving for our 7pm reservation the restaurant was all but empty however, as may be apparent, I am a yokel and prefer to eat earlier than my more sophisticated counterparts and it was a Thursday after all so it did not worry me too much.    

The design and ambience of the restaurant is very comfortable, not so stiff that you feel you need to whisper and the sofa booth they showed us to was ideal for the mildly romantic and celebratory mood my wife and I were in.

We selected off the Principal menu

with my wife selecting the suckling pig and I taking with Wagyu beef as the mains.

The journey through the menu that followed was equally as delicious for the eye as it was for the palate...actually no.... it tasted even better than it looked and this was really hot looking food.  

The preamble to the starters was delicious in the extreme and I should beautifully presented and well explained by the waiters...who I should also say were friendly and professional and not rediculously attentive....anyway back to the food if there was a star in the pre hors d'oeuvres it was the quails egg (and spoon race..sorry)...perfectly cooked and perfectly timed it seems when eaten...it really melted in my/our mouth(s)...The Japanese influence to the cooking added a layer of subtlety throughout the menu was particularly strong in the starters

The 360 degree egg (along with the advice to mix it schoolboy fashion)..foamed potato and all was delicious to the extent that I mopped it up with bread to the last morcel...resisiting manfully the temptation to lick the plate...seriously hard to resist for a yokel enjoying his nosh.

The mains, in particular the Suckling pig, were delicious and almost equally shared between us and when this was followed by the beautifully plated desert...Lotus with the incredible pear sorbet, that I was convinced was a delicious miniature pear, the night was rounded off superbly

This is a restaurant that surprised me, and it shouldn't as it has two stars already, but for this Yokel it deserves three.  Perhaps all the planets were aligned that evening but I could really see and appreciate the skill and artistry put into the food and its presentation...a delightful experience.

到我們吃完甜品準備賣單,待應告訴我們我們還要花多16000才夠minimum charge.

但也不用賣單時才告訴我吧? 我們早兩天點菜的時候也可以先告訴我們呀!

The restaurant is located at a convenient area for parking.  Diners can indeed park on the street right next to the restaurant (residential building) or PP 3 to make life easier.  The setting and decoration of the restaurant are warm and tables are space out nicely.  We were lucky to get our own booth which increase the sense of intimacy and privacy.

The restaurant indeed contacted me to select the menu upon my reservation confirmed. From the comment I read from previous posting, I believe the restaurant just tried to avoid the same disappointment (bad comment) from happening again. Well, I guess this is a good gesture but somehow, they missed an enquiry I sent and I have to resend it again in order to get a reply.

 Oyster – jalapeno pepper & dashi
Thought jalapeno will be a bit aggressive but surprisingly the natural lovely oyster taste was still there, good job!

 Salmon Roe - It wasn’t too long ago when I started to enjoy the salmon roe. My friend always complains about the fishy taste of Salmon roe and somewhat I agreed with him since most restaurant will prepare the salmon roe in a salty manner. Once the soya sauce taste is too strong, the juiciness of salmon roe will be swept completely. Thank goodness, the salmon roe here is nothing on the salty side and after taste of the juice can linger in your mouth for quite some time.

 Consommé de papillote - The presentation is appealing and drove up my expectation towards the dish. The consommé is very nice but it’s unfortunate
 that the after taste from the precedents were way too strong to bring out the character of this consommé. A clear and light broth to welcome the next course…wonder how they can re-arrange the courses to play the magic???

 Foie: I have no complaint about the food but an episode upset me that I would like to share: I communicated with them via email about the food I don't like, i.e. Uni and white chocolate. However, there's no reply after a 2-week wait thus I wrote them again.  I got a reply within 2 days this time (which was 2 days before my visit) and reassured me that my request is being taken care of.  To my dismay, they didn't re-arranged the ingredients but merely removed the uni from the dish.  I asked them why they did that, they claimed that my request came in too short of a notice so nothing can be re-arranged from their end. Honestly, that's not a valid appropriate answer from a Michelin starred restaurant.  

First, they didn't respond to my email in a timely manner.  Second, they are being utterly irresponsible in their service.  I am certain Uni is a key part to the Foie dish and the price will defiinitely be different with the main ingredient removed.

 Abalone: the presentation is phenomenal but the taste is just average.  The abalone is chewy and tasteless, there's no connection between the abalone and the side ingredients as the seasoning is all on its own.

灣仔星街一帶一向不缺美食佳餚,今次就試了米芝蓮兩星的The Principal。午餐的MENU有兩種,一種是 2/3/4 COURSE的Set Menu(HKD290/HKD350/HKD430),另一種則是Tasting Menu(HKD780)。最近因為新年的關係都吃多了,所以放棄Tasting Menu,試試他們Regular的Set Menu。記得當年在倫敦品嘗米芝蓮一星/兩星餐廳時,餐廳通常都會額外送上Taster,所以3-course menu也十頓時變了5/6 course。在香港的The Principal也不例外,在上前菜之前,侍應先送上Crab Foam作Taster。通常以Foam作Texture旳蟹肉都非常鮮甜,The Principal今次也做足功夫,沒有失準。前菜方面,我點了蛋,The Principal把燉好的豬肉放在蛋中間,豬肉香令蛋的香味更突出,再加上Mint的香草味道,較平時的燉蛋Refreshing。主菜方面,因為最新吃了太多牛,又見到平時較少出現的Pigeon,便點了Pigeon試試看。主菜一來,我完全目瞪口呆﹣怎麽份量是這麽少的?!幸好,味道搭

主菜方面,因為最新吃了太多牛,又見到平時較少出現的Pigeon,便點了Pigeon試試看。主菜一來,我完全目瞪口呆﹣怎麽份量是這麽少的?!幸好,味道搭救。Pigeon肉呈粉紅色,感覺應是用Slow Cook方法弄,否則肉質不會那麽滑嫩,切起來也容易,一梳梳肉,很新鮮。很可惜,雖然我不是狼吞虎嚥,但三兩口已經把整塊Pigeon放進胃口裡了。真希望The Principal可以「放寬校規」,多放一塊Pigeon,那我這個「學生」也就心滿意足了!

甜品則點了PB&J,白色的Mousse帶花生味道,很特別。平時很少見到Peanut Butter Mousse,今次我還是第一次品嘗。餐廳特意把較膩的Peanut Butter Mousse跟酸酸甜甜的黑加侖冰糕配合,希望令花生味道變得更清新。不過,個人來說,我還是偏好Pure Fruity/ Pure Beanut Butter的甜品。這樣的配合確實創新,但味道不太合配。

吃完午餐後,我們才發現3 course可以是點2個Appetizer + 1 Main,Personally 我覺得前菜較甜品特別,若大家希望一嘗這位「校長」的風味,可以考慮點2個Appetizer。

原來The Principal也在Restaurant Week有Promotion,但發現HKD198 Lunch Menu只是2 COURSE,今次的3 COURSE份量也偏少,如果是2 COURSE的話,吃完可能只有5成飽?!

另帶一提,這位「校長」的「校董」跟中環的Duddell's 都爹利會館一樣,Duddell's的份量是正常的,可能這位灣仔校長太嚴格了;)

甜品反而有個落差,說明是Orange texture, 如為食美人Z說是玩質感我同意,但味道呢?只能說普普通通,有質感,但提昇不到味道,感覺像在吃擦膠碎。這方面另一間restaurant week 餐廳MIC kitchen 玩得比較優勝。

今次已經是第三次參加香港餐廳週了。去年兩次,因貪吃之故,該段時間經常飽飽滯滯。今年繼續喪食,原本有幾間full booking,但昨日早上突然有位放出,讓我同一晚訂了米芝蓮兩星、一星餐廳。思前想後,選了米芝蓮兩星的The Principal作為今年餐廳週的第一站,相約靚女友人C作伴。我們7點前去到,仍未到餐廳開門時間,是第一枱客人。環境佈置舒適,枱與枱間頗寬落,我們被安排坐在長形沙發最邊的二人枱。由於大家都仍然病中帶咳,未嚐酒類,但見wine list的選擇頗多,價格亦未算特別高消費。餐廳週的餐牌非常簡約,毋須選擇。服務員先上餐包,是裸麥乾果切片,微暖,外皮少脆,乾果有提子、杏/桃類,就算不塗抹牛油也好吃。首先上的前菜有餐廳名作63° EGG。慢煮而成的溫泉蛋,底部襯以薯蓉並伴以菇類、青豆,賣相精緻。口感除有半熟蛋白的軟糯及薯蓉的幼滑,菇及豆亦帶來恰當的蔬菜鮮味,吃到蛋黃時,味蕾突然有一下衝擊-原來是鹽粒帶來鮮活的鹹味。吃罷精彩的前菜,我倆都期待著主菜Suckling Pig。由於製作需時,等了約25分鐘。Suckling Pig與平時吃到的滑面皮不同,賣相外型似放大了的豬腩仔。芝麻皮

吃罷精彩的前菜,我倆都期待著主菜Suckling Pig。由於製作需時,等了約25分鐘。Suckling Pig與平時吃到的滑面皮不同,賣相外型似放大了的豬腩仔。芝麻皮面脆但沒有了廣東燒味的鬆化,肥瘦相間加上烤焗時間拿捏剛好,帶來肉汁豐盈的嫩滑肉質感。伴碟的檸檬漿雖然稍減肉類滯膩感,但甜的感覺未能與鹹脆的主食相融和產生協同效應。伴碟的白菜無渣易咬斷,以煮過的石榴汁點綴,酸酸甜甜的幾討好。

甜品的Orange Textures,玩的是純粹不同質感的交織-血橙雪芭如牛油的幼滑、幼粒蛋白及蘿蔔的咬口、橙味果凍的軟、肉桂棉花糖的彈、血橙薄片的脆。感覺是幾得意,但由於份量少,除非仔細咀嚼,否則幾啖吞下根本吃不到多重感覺。但個人更愛實在簡單的甜品類。畢竟創作菜式除了塑造複雜口感,不同配搭令味道昇華亦同樣重要。

前菜整體層次豐富,不負米芝蓮兩星之名。主菜高水平但配搭未至扣人心弦。甜品只有口感而味道未見出色。

每上一道菜時服務員均有作介紹,全程亦主動加水予我倆,恰時收去餐具,服務不錯,但感覺不夠親切,並未與客人有額外交流。

期待下星期一第二站的法國私房菜,與另一位美人C的聚會。

Dessert is capped perfectly by a barley pudding with rum ice cream and cinnamon meringue. Nice cozy ambience, helpful staff and impeccable service. Only complaint, some of the waiters do not know what they are serving and struggle with the explanation. Still a nice dining experience.

Brunch again?沒錯。這一次是在米芝連餐廳The Principal 。不是每人一份的Brunch,也不是Buffet Brunch 。他們家是做Set Menu 的,還可以享用Free Flow 香檳,紅酒,白酒及鮮果汁。鮮果汁有三個選擇,分別是士多啤梨西瓜,菠蘿蜜瓜發西柚橙,外面都不常有這樣的搭配噢。環境方面,又安靜又闊落,既適合一班朋友談談天摸摸酒杯底,亦適合情侶靜靜的二人世界。十分建議女生們聚會的話訂卡位,私隱度高,最適合Girls Talk 。圖片介紹會比較吸引吧!一開始先來個Yogurt Mouse ,像Mouse 多於像Yogurt,只帶一點點酸,口感超綿密!吃到底還有果醬,女士會愛,男士就有點卻步了。接着還有Cold Cuts,芝士,醋漬鯷魚,肝醬及摩洛哥豆沾醬一并送來。最喜歡那個肝醬,用來配麵包真的一流,令大小姐不知不覺吃了好多麵包。然後就是最開胃,亦是整個Brunch Menu 中我最愛的一道,名字都忘了,就是一個酸酸的凍湯吧。有劍魚刺身粒,南瓜粒,粟米粒,配上帶檸檬味酸酸的汁,真的回味無窮!跟凍湯一起來的有天婦羅蔬菜籃,有酸酸的凍湯配搭,多吃幾快也不會有

Brunch again?

沒錯。這一次是在米芝連餐廳The Principal 。

不是每人一份的Brunch,也不是Buffet Brunch 。他們家是做Set Menu 的,還可以享用Free Flow 香檳,紅酒,白酒及鮮果汁。鮮果汁有三個選擇,分別是士多啤梨西瓜,菠蘿蜜瓜發西柚橙,外面都不常有這樣的搭配噢。

環境方面,又安靜又闊落,既適合一班朋友談談天摸摸酒杯底,亦適合情侶靜靜的二人世界。十分建議女生們聚會的話訂卡位,私隱度高,最適合Girls Talk 。

圖片介紹會比較吸引吧!

要說最有看頭,一定是這個在你旁邊即做的Sunny Side Up Egg 。用上燒至幾百度的熱石板,先下油爆香煙肉,再打蛋,完成前加上火箭菜及香草醬汁。吃下去普普通通,但視覺享受令這度加分不少。

主菜Sunday Roast 是什麼呢?當日是Suckling Pig ,是有點胖那,但皮做得超脆,搭上生菜及泡菜醬,油膩感都沒有,反而覺得清新呢!

來到最後,甜點及濃濃的咖啡是少不了的。站着的兩支就最吸引,Raspberry Stick 酸酸的好得意,Marshmallow Stick 內裡包着雪糕,一口K.O 它吧!最愛最愛的是放在板上的Pina Colada ,像菠蘿包的外皮,裡面是菠蘿及椰子味的雪糕,超讚!

首先要趁機恭喜一下 Chef Jonay Armas 和他的美食團隊,他們多年來的努力沒有白費,今年終於能夠收成正果,米芝蓮的兩星袋袋平安。Chef Jonay Armas 的新派西班牙菜一向亦古亦今,前衞當中又不忘傳統,實在是實至名歸。雖然升格為兩星級餐廳,但 The Principal 並未有藉此而抬高價錢,午餐兩道菜依然照舊盛惠 $290。在現今的高消費模式之下,感覺相當抵食。不過這天的菜單給了我一個小難題,尤其在前菜部分,溫泉蛋、帶子、cous cous 和西班牙凍湯四選一的確有點難度,因此也特別花了多點時間細心思考。午餐尚未正式開始之前,首先是廚師敬菜的環節。第一款精緻小吃是花盆中的「冰鎮西瓜」,西瓜切成正方體形狀,再浸過西班牙的 sangria 酒,味道變得份外甜美。旁邊的另一款小吃不是一支粉筆,而是一件巴馬臣芝士卷,內層包着味道清新的香草醬。兩款小吃雖不是個人品嚐過最精彩的廚師敬菜,但是在清新味蕾方面,他們已經是勝任有餘。廚師敬菜之後,午餐終於可以正式開始。前菜先揀選了個人較為少吃的薄切帶子,説到賣相,這道菜絕對值得滿分。一片片晶瑩剔透的薄切帶子之上,原來擺放了蘿蔔粒和珍

廚師敬菜之後,午餐終於可以正式開始。前菜先揀選了個人較為少吃的薄切帶子,説到賣相,這道菜絕對值得滿分。

一片片晶瑩剔透的薄切帶子之上,原來擺放了蘿蔔粒和珍珠洋蔥等的配菜,加上一球淡綠色的芥末雪糕之後,一件比藝術品還要精美的菜式隨即誕生。

雖然不忍心摧毀這件亮麗的作品,但是新鮮甜美的帶子又的確令人難以抗拒。

侍應沒有特別介紹這道菜式的食法,因此需要少許時間喘摸一番,最後還是決定細心地將一片片帶子包着一顆蘿蔔粒、珍珠洋蔥、少許橄欖汁和芥末雪糕,然後一同放進口袋裏。帶子跟配料的混合體味道果然是出神入化,各款食材無論在味道和質感的對比都不自覺地為菜式營造出一份獨特、刺激和豐富的層次感,效果非常震撼。

唯一美中不足的是廚師在放海鹽時,似乎有少許不均勻,這點疏忽令部分帶子的鹽量稍為多了,稍稍影響了味道和口感。否則的話,這道菜絕對是滿分之作。

主菜點來烤乳鴿伴西班牙頂級 bomba 米。想不到這道菜入口會有種中式的感覺,乳鴿肉只烤至半熟,所以肉汁依然豐厚,味道亦更濃郁細膩。菜式的醬汁則特別採用了乳鴿肉和骨來炮製,配搭煙煙靱靱的西班牙 bomba 米,味道更加突出。

還在躊躇吃不吃甜品之間,侍應過來推介招牌甜品 PBJ,我亦樂意地配合。

撕開的法式西多士跟花生醬、雜莓和黑加侖子雪芭果然為味蕾產生出奇妙的化學作用,同時也為美滿的一頓午餐譜上完滿的句號。

The Principal 向來都是個人最欣賞的本地餐廳之一。擁有 Chef Jonay Armas 和他的團隊貼心照顧,嘴邊的幸福的確是接踵而來。

My wife and I went to dinner at around 8pm Saturday. The restaurant is only ~half full. It is our anniversary. It is named Top20 in Tatler HK. Should be good, right? A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!


The menu only have 3 pages -- Degustation Menu, Degustation Vegetarian, A La Carte (Starter & Meat). 

After we ordered the Degustation, the matre de came back and told us Degustation set sold out. I was shock. With reservation and such a small menu, I expect Degustation should be available.


No choice, too late to go other place. Pick 2 Starter & 2 Main. The chef offered 4 free petit apertizer. Strange but most are sweet. The quail egg with spices and covered by a sugar coating, some liquor ball (not suitable for children), some tapioca thing (also sweet)... A bad omen.

The Starter -- The Crab that come with 4 dainty pieces (blow away if I sneeze hard); Foe gras (grill & steam w Thai consomme). Both are bland to taste. The Foe Gras still have tough tendon inside. When try to eat, the tendon just destroy the whole foe gras. FAIL 


The Main -- The Lamb Shoulder (slow cook 12hr). Showed up as a small cylinder (1in dia x 3 in long) with 2 pinches of Masala powder and 2 teaspoon of sauce! I had apertizer with larger serving than that. It was also bland. The Suckling Pig, like the lamb, showed up a small slice. Worse, no crispy skin. Asked the waiter & was told that this is supposed to be crispy! FAIL
 
I can go to any BBQ shop and get a piece of roast pig with crispy skin at 1/10 the price and twice the serving.

Dessert -- don't bother. Only 3 kind. 

After dinner, I have to go to nearby to have wonton noodle & dessert as my wife and I are still hungry. This is outrageous. I was so upset that I have to write this review. Value for Money = 0. Worst anniversay dinner I ever have!

I will NEVER visit this restaurant, and I will make sure NONE of my friends will visit this place. 
Other Info. : Don't waste your money here.

Dinner starts with complimentary hors d'eovres including a quail egg served with a slightly sweet crispy coating served on a almost birds next looking box combines modern chic with child like fantasy, along with other treats. 

First course was a chawanmushi like steam egg with uni, cavier paired with a fine cold sake. Perfect match of seafood with the delicate sake, contrast of the hot & cold.2nd course was a fresh crab meat ravioli matched with white wine. Was OK. The third course was heavenly with a foie gras in consomme, which was extremely well done. In the past, I only had foie gras in pate or pan fried and whilst they tasted nice, they were heavy at the same time. This version was delightly light and tasty as well. Cod fish and wagyu beef followed . Beef was yummy. After a sorbet, a chocolaty dessert was served. However my favourite sweet of the night was not the dessert but the lime stone candy served as psrt of the petit fours. I loved them so much I had to ask for extras. 

All in all, a beautiful evening, nice ambience, good food and excellent service. Yes it is a bit pricey but worth for special occassions

其實在外國有不少米芝蓮星店是隱藏在街頭巷尾, 不太起眼, 很容易錯過了也不知道. 說到底, 食物的質素才是最重要嘛. 在香港, The Principal的門面也比較低調, 沒有富麗堂皇的佈置, 但室內的環境簡潔, 是讓客人坐得很舒適的.是日跟文迪來到這裡午餐, 這家連續兩年得到一星的店子, 怎也是實力的表現吧. 我們分吃了兩客午餐, 另外再散點一客甜品, 很豐富了.麵包: 先來的麵包, 溫度對辦, 是熱暖的, 不過就比較硬身, 不是我喜歡的規格.Cauliflower Veloute: 9分, 頭盤方面, 其中一客的選擇是Cauliflower Veloute, 湯的質感不俗, 不會太杰身, 除了椰菜之外, 還有帶鹹香的煙肉以及鯡魚魚子醬, 提升了這客湯的層次, 也更添華麗.Onsen Egg: 9分, 另外一客頭盤就是Onsen Egg, 原來溫泉蛋是收藏在底下, 面頭的是Chorizo Shepherd的脆脆, 蒜頭以及香草. 把溫泉蛋打開, 蛋汁相當豐盈, 用蛋汁去撈脆脆同吃, 自是相當惹味. 是賣相跟味道也令人讚賞的菜式.Boston Lobster: 9分, 到了主菜的環節

作為連續兩年得到一星的店子, The Principal在食物質素, 配搭, 賣相, 以及創意皆是有相當高的水準, 加上環境舒適, 服務令人滿意, 實在是值得推介的. 縱使短時間內不能再到國外吃星店, 但香港的出品, 其實一點也不失禮呢.

沒有仔細研究過米芝蓮的一二三四五星是如何評估,反正米芝蓮的一二三四五和的我的一二三四五向來有出入。吃貨朋友說灣仔星街的The Principal有一粒星不如去試下,我沒所謂,反正附近新開沒有星怎至環境小呀星的車仔麵檔我也會想吃。餐前小吃:有酒味的西瓜粒粒磚及芝士卷(名亂取,因為介紹時我在講電話沒聽到XD)。哦,就西瓜一粒芝士卷一條啊。前菜: Foie Gras with Corn Espuma. 好像邊吃liquid狀粟米爆谷邊吃煎鵝肝,件事都夾得到的幾特別。我的主菜是法式燒腩,有蘋果蔥endive做伴菜。可能因為食材比較便宜的關係,很多法國餐廳的set lunch都有pork belly選擇 ,也很少會做的不好吃,不過the prinicipal卻是其中一間(灰)。我知道吃得燒豬腩都不要怕肥膩,而我向來也很享受肥膏黏在的咀唇的感覺,不過呢,仍不能接受腩肉入口時吃不到肉感,好像只吃下一堆肥肉啫喱外附一塊燒豬皮。客人既然願意承擔脂肪爆炸膽固醇過高的風險,餐廳大概也有點令客人覺得值得的責任罷。吃不好吃又長脂肪颷膽固醇的食物,是大罪啊!甜品是香蕉,煙朱古力加焦糖。早知點2 courses算數

甜品是香蕉,煙朱古力加焦糖。

早知點2 courses算數。

事實上,這一次午餐對我來說是不好吃,但未至於很難吃嚥。不過同行的朋友對食物的評語好像更差(前菜是帶子他他,主菜是Cod Confit,甜點是Coconut sorbet ),沒有拍照。加上服務沒有特別好(當然沒有惡劣或不禮貌,就是最普通那一種不會讓你加分囉)。以這個價錢的午餐來說,整體中下,所以評分的給了個[喊]。

總結是一個愉快的晚餐。有些菜道很驚人的。 如他們的一貫作風,菜几道都是街頭食品與fine dining 结合在一起。 但有些組合聽起來不錯,但做出来的是后沒好像没有深思熟慮。無論如何, 我会期待他們的新菜單!
