走到星街角落的The Principal,是PressRoom Group其下餐廳之一,餐廳原址一間男女校,現以「校長」英文一字為名,是集團其中一位創辦人為了紀念他的曾任校長的母親。餐廳設計簡約,以淺啡色的木為主題,加上磚牆設計,配上格仔圖案的沙發,感覺充滿活力,有如回到學生時代。在最近的西班牙美酒節也遇見餐廳主廚Jonay Armas,也挺俊俏。他曾在西班牙馬德里及巴塞隆納等著名餐廳工作,最近The Principal推出的Sunday Brunch,六道菜式都由他精心設計,每位價錢$590,如選配Free-flow Champagne或果汁等,價錢則是$690。還未吃前,先到外邊的食物檯看看,有風乾火腿、芝士、麵包等,這裡並非以自助形式任意拿來吃,而是侍應會把食物準備好,送上給客人享用。果汁有三款選擇Carrot & Orange、Mango & Mint及Watermelon & Strawberry,我選了紅色的西瓜口味,西瓜味道為主導,十分香甜,帶微微酸香。先下不久,先送來杯乳酪,Yogurt,Berry Compote,Yogurt Mousse and Granola。乳

還未吃前,先到外邊的食物檯看看,有風乾火腿、芝士、麵包等,這裡並非以自助形式任意拿來吃,而是侍應會把食物準備好,送上給客人享用。果汁有三款選擇Carrot & Orange、Mango & Mint及Watermelon & Strawberry,我選了紅色的西瓜口味,西瓜味道為主導,十分香甜,帶微微酸香。

先下不久,先送來杯乳酪,Yogurt,Berry Compote,Yogurt Mousse and Granola。乳酪慕絲口感很幼滑,感覺輕柔,味道帶酸,加上底部的野莓果蓉令酸度提升,十分開胃。慕斯面層有少許Granola帶點香脆,口感更豐富。

Queso-Embutido,A Selection of Cold Cuts and Cheese,其後是風乾火腿及芝士拼盤,個人最愛吃伊比利亞豬那款,脂香味濃,鹹香適中。芝士分別有三款,都是由同集團的Classified提供,而且也會定期轉款。軟身的法國羊奶芝士Chenette,奶味濃郁,另外兩款硬芝士分別是瑞士appenzeller及橙色那款是荷蘭的Gouda,個人較愛appenzeller,伴上麵包、新鮮無花果及提子來吃,太滋味。

芝士過後,侍應突然放下三罐罐頭,內裡原來是自家醃製的海鮮冷盤。Homemade “Tins”,Paprika-Escabeche Mussel,紅椒粉醃青口,青口味道鮮甜。 Natural Cockles with Lemon Zest,原汁扇貝及最後的是醋浸鯷魚Anchovies in Vinegar,Garlic and Olive Oil,兩者味道同樣不錯。

三瓶玻璃膠器皿載著的是西班牙的傳統菜式Ceviche,以檸檬汁來浸海鮮,味道酸酸的,合我口味。Orange & Grapefruit-Prawn & Tomato,葡萄蕃薯浸鮮蝦,蝦肉鮮甜彈牙。中間的是Lemon-Tuna,Mango,Young Coconut & Avocado,香芒椰子吞拿魚,軟腍的牛油果夾著吞拿魚來吃,口感更滑。最後的是Lime-Scallop,Cauliflower & Ginger,帶子青檸味道突出,十分清新。

其後是三款炸物Frituras,Chicken Croqueats雞肉可樂餅、Cod Bunelos鱈魚甜圈及Green Asparagus Tempura,青露筍天婦羅。雞肉可樂餅外貌像炸馬介休薯球,香脆的外層包著雞肉沙醬,微酸的,帶著不少肉粒,口感不錯。鱈魚甜圈質感較為軟腍,也有魚鮮味,吃著又不覺油膩。

主菜方面,共有七款可選,先是兩款Quiche,Brocoli,Bacon & Onion Quiche,西蘭花、煙肉及洋蔥焗蛋,及Spinach,Goat Cheese & Pine Nut Quiche,菠菜、羊奶芝士及松子焗蛋。以小鐵鍋來焗蛋,蛋不算十分嫩滑,但味道濃郁。煙肉那款帶點鹹香,羊奶芝士味的味道更濃,而且芝士帶點半融狀態,口感更佳。

再來三款水煮蛋,63°C Free-Range Egg with Parmentier,分別配上Chorizo西班牙辣香腸、Iberico Ham伊比利亞黑毛豬火腿、Caramelized Onion,Fava Beans,Artichoke Chips and Truffle松露及焦糖洋蔥。攝氏63度下烹調45分鐘的水煮蛋,蛋白剛熟,蛋黃還帶溏心狀態,把打弄穿,與薯蓉混勻來吃,口感就更加滑溜。西班牙辣香腸及黑毛豬火腿的充滿鹹香,松露那款則帶濃郁菌香,各有特色。

這個外表像法式多士的是Pain Perdu with Bacon,Caramelized Banana,Maple Syrup with Bacon Ice Cream,多士伴上香脆的薄煙肉片,面層再放上煙肉味雪糕,非常特別。旁邊是焦糖香蕉,一鹹一甜,配搭非常特別,味道也夾,個人尤其愛這煙肉味雪糕。

最後甜品環節,我最期待的部份。先來已被Lime Meringue Lollipop所深深吸引。長竹籤上插著一小球烤焦蛋白,口感幼滑,內裡是軟腍的檸檬蛋糕包著檸檬餡,酸酸的,十分好吃,很想多吃幾枝!而杯底的焦糖爆谷同樣不能錯過,香甜中帶點辣,加上香脆可口,很快也被清掉。

另外以特別的小抽屜來盛載著的是’Snicker’,Milk Chocolate,Bavarian Cream,Rice Crispy & Peanut Nougat。沾滿脆米的朱古力Bar口感軟腍而黏口,薄薄的朱古力醬包著軟心朱古力及忌廉,底部是花生鳥結糖,味道很甜,吃得滿足。中間黃色的是菠蘿及椰子味的綿花糖,最後還有紅莓爆炸糖。

最後一款傳統的西班牙甜品Churros,一小條表面沾著肉桂糖,酥酥香香,再點上厚厚的朱古力醬來吃,甜入心頭。

個人其實挺喜歡星街,好像是自成一角般,但位置上又不太偏離市區,環境寧靜,又藏了不少美食。星期天,放下工作、書本,最好來這裡吃個西班牙式的早午餐,享受美好的時光。

這西班牙式brunch一反傳統,先送上Yoghurt.乳酪以玻璃瓶盛載,表面的封紙有牛奶樽的影子.乳酪被打發至慕絲狀,比一般吃到的鬆軟,味道亦不酸.配合香脆的穀物和桑果蓉,作為醒胃的第一道菜恰如其分.

一反傳統的接續有來:侍應放下放滿火腿,芝士的長木盤,看得我們傻了眼-太豐富了!單是風乾火腿已有四款,包括較瘦但有嚼口的pork loin,微辣的Chorizo和充滿紋理脂香的Jamon Iberico,味道甘香亦不過咸,加上新鮮無花果做早餐真豪華!三款芝士由同集團的Classified提供,質素當然有保證.無論是咬落有鹽顆粒的硬芝士或軟身酥香的羊奶芝士,都是同樣的美味可口,愛芝士之士不能錯過,點一杯紅酒大快朵頤,不羨仙.

西班牙三面環海,吃的頭盤也少不了海鮮的份.侍者放下罐頭三罐,裡面是餐廳自己醃製的油浸海鮮.青口,鮮蜆,安糟魚,咸鮮有致,若以麵包盛住橄欖油和海鮮,咬一口,定必美味得沒說話可說.

這裡真的很pay attention to the containers,繼牛奶樽和罐頭後更有果醬罐!裡面的是Ceviche,一種以檸檬汁醃製的海鮮冷盤.我愛的帶子碰上青檸和薑更顯鮮甜;吞拿,芒果,牛油果,是意想不到的軟綿幼滑,充滿東南亞風情;提子和番茄搭上大蝦味道又酸又甜,愛吃泰菜的朋友不能錯過.連上六款海鮮,此時呷一口微酸的Aubry香檳,微酸的香檳更吊出海鮮鮮味.

收起涼浸浸的海鮮,到了熱辣辣的Frituras

雙牙曾為航海強國,當年向外經商時曾將飲食文化帶到外地,例如日本的天婦羅,有說是經葡國商人引入的炸食物演變而成.所以這天以天婦羅露筍配chicken croquettes,非常有趣.chicken croquettes比cod bunuelos沒那麼軟身,雞肉的清香十足,crust薄脆香口.而以微酸的dressing點天婦羅吃更是把兩種文化直接crossover,味道也非常不錯.而且吃炸物始終熱氣,正好大口大口喝啤酒.

吃了這麼多才到main course出場,選擇共有七款!其中兩款是quiche,三款是65度蛋,始終是brunch嘛.

所謂65度蛋其實是將煮食溫度準確穩定在蛋白和蛋黃不同的凝固溫度下慢煮,那麼蛋就能又煮熟又滑溜.這裡三款都以蛋配搭薯蓉和一些帶咸的食物如火腿,個人最喜愛卻非chorizo莫屬,裡頭脆脆的crumbs混在滑到不行的薯仔和蛋混合物中,既能增加口感,亦能櫬托辣肉腸粒的咸香,實在非常美味!

另外兩款quiche是無pastry底的'煲仔上',味道相當濃郁惹味,尤以混有羊奶芝士的更為酥香,但那蛋仍是嫩滑非常,實在難得.這蛋餅雖沒傳統的批底承托,但換來那小小的番茄puff pastry,將兩者合一來吃,唔,軟中帶酥脆的口感也像.

牛肉他他我吃過西式的和韓式的做法,這裡的版本將牛肉切得頗大顆,反而有點韓國菜的味道.其實吃tartare最重要是牛肉要新鮮,那麼就算沒quail yolks亦會滑到不行.這天的肉當然新鮮爽甜,但個人覺得酒香可以添一些.

最後一道是看似甜french toast,其實是咸食的pain perdu,上面的雪糕是煙肉味,櫬底的是薄脆煙肉,務求給食客多種形態和溫度的刺激.我自己也會用麵包點雪糕來吃,這道菜當然滿足到我這小朋友的嗜好,而且初次吃到咸味的雪糕,也是有趣的體驗.

吃過主菜已吃得太飽或喝得太醉,此時最應該來一杯醒神咖啡或熱茶,讓身體從半昏迷中甦醒.順帶一提,這裡的咖啡真的不錯,那拉花看似鬆散,但其實咖啡味相當濃郁,半滴酸味也沒有,更是非常飽滿,喝得令人非常舒服.

甜品奉行餐廳重視presentation的堅持,連甜品亦分三部分送上:

那插在幼枝上的lime meringue lollipops實在是太太太太太好吃,好吃到我真的想再來一件!說穿了它不過是將一塊吸滿檸檬酸味的蛋糕以蛋白包住再燒焦而成,但那海綿蛋糕真的酸甜得非常徹底,而coat住的蛋白非常幼滑又企身,要知道將本為流質的蛋白和糖打至企身再固定在幼簽上,甚至火灼後仍不會掉下來,是非常困難的事情!而且味道真的十級棒,比我吃過的任何一個lemon meringue pie都好吃!驚喜不絕於此,就連瓶中的popcorns亦是又脆又甜又帶點刺激的辛味,兩種味道卻又不覺很奇怪,反而比些只是一味死甜的焦糖爆谷更美味又沒那麼涸喉.

三款精緻小點先從pina colada味棉花糖說起,微甜又軟綿綿的它是挺kawaii的甜品,相當有少女情懷.粉紅色的raspberry pop rocks以白朱古力片和爆炸糖配搭酸咪咪的紅桑,在口中啪啪響的爆炸糖與香脆的白朱古力脆片相映成趣.黑漆漆的是迷你Snicker,由廚師以朱古力,花生,脆米等重新演繹這種人見人愛的糖果.Snicker外層是黏牙的朱古力醬,這裡的卻以脆米蓋之,中芯才是軟稔的可可醬和花生脆片,對於非常熱愛Snicker的我來說,沒甚麼比這更美味了.

第三款甜品是傳統的churros,有多少人知道這種炸麵條有說是由曾訪中國的商人帶回歐洲的?而且啟發他們的更是我們常吃的油炸鬼!不過西班牙版本的油炸鬼除了幼些和灑上砂糖,更會點朱古力醬吃,更添甜美.

你是否和我一樣,喜愛吃brunch,卻又對那些一式一樣的沉悶'package'感到厭倦?來與這位校長共享一個週日早上,你就會發現,Sunday Brunch也可以很有型.

難得夾到時間跟好朋友食午飯,怎料在準備出發之際,又接到老總的電話,當然唔會係咩好事啦!想吃餐安樂茶飯都咁難,唉~盡量壓抑著不快的情緒,面帶笑容的把整餐飯吃完為止。畢竟人家百忙之中來到,是想大家開開心心的債吓計吃餐飯,而不是來受罪的。幸好,舒適的餐廳環境,令心情也放開了。同埋,我常說,我很幸福,因為我的朋友都好體諒我的。午餐有幾款Set Lunch選擇,若不合意的話,可以點A la carte。然而,散叫的收費頗為進取,單是主菜已經要幾百個大洋,而且又不是什麼特別吸引的東西,還是叫套餐好了。點菜後,吃著這裡的Welcome Food,賣相十足十我們過年吃的糖蓮子,吃起來也真的頗為相似,只是裡面換上了夏威夷果仁。在西餐廳吃到呢個味道,挺新鮮的。未幾,侍者便奉上麵包以及Amuse Bouche。隨意的揀了一件香草麵包,拿起是真正熱呼呼,果然不錯。有兩款的檻欖油配麵包的,分吃來自法國和西班牙,前者有著很濃烈的草香味,後者則比較溫和,若配以我手上的香草包,我會喜歡柔和一點的口味。Amuse Bouche是綠豆茸的凍湯,以一隻精美的玻璃小杯盛著,外型是討好。不過,我幾怕青豆茸這東西,味道淡口,又怪

未幾,侍者便奉上麵包以及Amuse Bouche。隨意的揀了一件香草麵包,拿起是真正熱呼呼,果然不錯。有兩款的檻欖油配麵包的,分吃來自法國和西班牙,前者有著很濃烈的草香味,後者則比較溫和,若配以我手上的香草包,我會喜歡柔和一點的口味。

Amuse Bouche是綠豆茸的凍湯,以一隻精美的玻璃小杯盛著,外型是討好。不過,我幾怕青豆茸這東西,味道淡口,又怪怪的,吃落都不知道似什麼,大概只是我不懂欣賞。

根據我們的用餐習慣,都沒有分那碟是你那碟是我,總之大家share來吃。頭盤之一是帶子,西餐的賣相自然不用擔心,肯定漂亮。帶子煮得稍稍過熟,口感並不爽彈,有點韌,還好仍保持一定鮮味,但可以更好。

另外的是鵝肝,反而未算太好,因切開的時候已覺有點筋,質感雖軟滑,卻稍欠甘香,是沒有預期中的好。

主菜方面,選了豬牛各一。豬是臉頰的部位,幾厚身,肉質未見鬆化,味道頗濃,而且跟紅酒汁幾匹配。墊底的是芹菜茸,很軟滑,但味道一般,所以我倆也沒有多吃。

至於西冷,賣相就跟五星級酒店的出品一樣靚。柯打了Medium Rare,出來肉質帶有粉紅色,幾對辦,咬落都勉強稱得上鬆化,但其實可以再稍為生少少。配角的薯仔、洋蔥及蕃茄等,亦有水準,個人最喜歡車厘茄的清甜。

到了我們最期待的甜品項目,先有士多啤梨和爆谷的組合,上面加了cream的,算是比較清新的一款。

甜魔的Preference,始終為朱古力系列。味道夠濃郁,跟薄荷雪糕的口味也是幾合拍,但因為兩者均是很甜的關係,那裡頭的橙就顯得很酸,把整個甜品的分數都拖低了。

時間實在太趕,要速速埋單,真的不好意思。而我,也趁這時候再想想未來的去向。

People always ask, 'What's there to do in Hong Kong?' My hobby is to dig into the foodie world and look for new restaurants, and I have set my eyes on The Principal. A fan of the Press Room Group, I was very much excited that the group finally opens its first high-end restaurant on Star Street. There was no reason to thwart me from visiting this new baby of the Group.

There was actually a doorman standing at the entrance, and as we entered the restaurant, I loved how the tables were set widely apart, unlike the restaurants we usually visited around Soho. The menu started with a page of introduction to the Principal's aim - to serve simple but good food. We picked what we'd like and here we went, dinner started. First it came with the Amuse Bouche. I liked the cookie with lightly shredded cheddar, it was quite interesting that you were eating a crunchy cookie while feeling this soft fluffiness in your mouth. The bread basket was average, I chose a lemon flavored bun and a seaweed bun. The flavor was mostly shrouded by balsamic and olive oil.

For the starters, we ordered Egg - Free-range 63-degree egg with ceps, artichoke heart and shaved black truffle and Muscat Squash - Pumpkin soup with crosnes and seeds. 63-degree egg has always been my favorite, and the chef had not failed my expectations.
When I stuck the knife (ok i sounded violent) to cut open the egg, the warm melty and rich egg yolk floated smoothly around the plate. It served wondefully well with the porcini mushrooms and the savory aroma from the truffles. The other one was decent. Pumpkin soup was poured into the plate around the nicely arranged seeds and crosnes in front of us.

As for main courses, we had Cod - Confit Cod with Grilled Bell Pepper, Potato and Cauliflower, Black Olives and Chorizo Oil and Suckling Pig - Suckling Pig with Lemon Puree, Sauteed Red Endive and Pomegranate reduction (which I thought it was only served at Spanish Restaurants). The cod was so-so, could've been better. The texture was ok, guess I preferred the pan-seared ones but nonetheless the suckling pig lifted my mood and it was indeed an impressive dish! Crispy skin with little fat and tender soft meat, along with the refreshing scent from lemon puree. Everything was just right!

It took a while to decide on the dessert and I chose Violet - Violet sponge with Strawberries, Yoghurt Sorbert. It looked like a re-arrangement and new approach as in how to present a cake. The sponge, the fruits and cream (which was sorbet) and the crunches were all artfully placed around the plate. The yoghurt sorbet stood out that it satisfied me with its creaminess while I felt less guilty since it was just a sorbet. The Petit Fours were great to conclude the meal. I particularly liked the chewy mango & passionfruit candy.

The Press Room's first move to high end restaurants was a success. Service was good, yet a bit more practice on introducing the food and fading into the scene, i.e. asking about how the food was, and communicating with the customers was needed. I definitely look forward to paying a second visit!
Other Info. : I saw that there was actually a semi-private dining area at the restaurant, looked spacious with nice wooden decor. Think this is quite ideal for a 6-8 people dinner party :)

好好味!最近食了The Principal的精選套餐, 點菜時只告訴素有訓練的工作人員, 自己不吃那種食品, 然後一切都由廚師Jonay Armas安排,我們要的是五款的, 結果我們品嚐了精緻的六款, 每一款都是宙珍型.當然麭點可以不停任吃, 瓶裝水也是HK$30任飲.廚師安排了西班牙乳豬做主菜, 本來有一點點失望, 因為前一天才吃了馬會已不賴的西班牙乳豬, 但咀嚼之下真是有分別的, 還一定不是剛剛做的, 因為皮已不夠脆, 但很甘香, 細查之下, 在他的餐牌上已告訴您, 他來自介乎西班牙與非洲的一個島. 前菜的超BB龍蝦, 好味, 與魚子醬一齊入口, 簡直無以上之, 再加上留有餘香的藏紅花所成的custer, 值得推介.又蒸又煎又燒的鴨(鵝)肝很juicy.甜品用紫羅蘭做的蛋糕配上歐洲蜂蜜, 加上雪糕與處理過的士多啤梨, 很有田園口味!這餐廳的配菜與醬料(sauce), 既特別又好味, 尤其醬料的味道, 簡直無與倫比.每個菜賣相又靚, 更顯出廚師的性格, 我就非常鍾意.唯一要彈的, 就是當日的魚, 很特色, 但吃不出魚的味道, 但因有一流的醬料, 所以也不錯!最後還有用亞枝竹做的餅,

又蒸又煎又燒的鴨(鵝)肝很juicy.

唯一要彈的, 就是當日的魚, 很特色, 但吃不出魚的味道, 但因有一流的醬料, 所以也不錯!
最後還有用亞枝竹做的餅, 美味的朱古力等為餐後小食.
每人化費約HK$800, 我認為值得, 因為每一道菜, 細嘗之下, 您都會齒(甲)留香, 味道在口內徘徊.
如果是飲食男女, 更有配酒(WINE PAIRING)跟每一道菜.

位於灣仔星街九號的The Principal 靜悄悄地在十二月初正式試業,餐廳是集團繼開設 The Pawn, SML, Classified 等casual dining 餐廳之後,首次向high-end dining 進軍。高檔卻只限於食物的製作和用料的質素,餐廳的裝飾低調親民,設計師以舒適簡約為目標,起用了淺桃木色加淺灰色作主色,從平凡中帶出點時尚優雅,但又不覺俗氣。 在午市散叫的餐單和套餐都有提供,其中套餐有兩道菜($250) 和三道菜($330) 之分。 Amuse Bouche - 慢煮三文魚 (Grade: 4/5)侍應細心地送上餐前的開胃菜 - 慢煮三文魚,份量雖只是冰山一角,但賣相已足見誠意。三文魚用橄欖汁六十三度下慢煮後切粒,面頭再加上牛油果蓉和檸檬泡沫。慢煮後的三文魚成啫喱狀,入口初時有點兒酸溜,但經細嚼後牛油果、檸檬和三文魚的香味一併留於齒頰中,現時想起仍然回味無窮。 烤帶子配蟹籽濃湯 (Grade: 4/5)廚師將帶子兩邊輕輕煎過,藉此將鮮味鎖住,再放入蟹籽濃湯。菜式創意十足之餘,味道亦鮮味無比,倘若帶子能厚切的話,相信必定更加無懈可擊。 烤西班牙乳豬腩肉

Amuse Bouche - 慢煮三文魚 (Grade: 4/5)
侍應細心地送上餐前的開胃菜 - 慢煮三文魚,份量雖只是冰山一角,但賣相已足見誠意。

三文魚用橄欖汁六十三度下慢煮後切粒,面頭再加上牛油果蓉和檸檬泡沫。慢煮後的三文魚成啫喱狀,入口初時有點兒酸溜,但經細嚼後牛油果、檸檬和三文魚的香味一併留於齒頰中,現時想起仍然回味無窮。

烤西班牙乳豬腩肉 (Grade: 4.5/5)
烤豬腩肉選用了西班牙的優質乳豬,脆卜卜的豬皮加上質地幼嫩的腩肉,入口仿似即溶一般,非常香口,配搭微酸的檸檬蓉醬和略帶苦澀味的菊苣,味道對比很大,效果新鮮。

炭燒西冷牛肉、骨髓芥末汁 (Grade: 4.5/5)
主菜點了看似普通的炭燒西冷牛肉,想不到來了一幅立體化的抽像畫。兩塊厚切的西冷牛肉,經過牛骨髓和芥末汁醃製後炭燒。隨意地放在碟上,旁邊再伴以風乾的小車厘茄、燒馬鈴薯、珍珠洋蔥等裝飾,差點不忍心將這份藝術品破壞。

炭燒的過程中火候掌握得非常好,牛肉還呈現鮮紅色,賣相吸引。入口更覺肉質鮮嫩幼滑,肉汁濃郁豐厚,跟清新的配菜形成絕配。

Bailey & Oreo (Grade: 2.5/5)
從頭盤到主菜,一個比一個精彩,唯一失色的是甜品。Bailey & Oreo 其實包含Bailey 味道的泡沫、Oreo餅碎、葡萄子乾、焦糖豆腐等等的材料,入口些少感覺似燉奶,但味道就有點格格不入。

總結
雖然餐廳開業不過兩星期,但班子合作無間,服務比酒店的還要殷勤。食物亦有水準之作,如果能夠繼續保持下去的話,相信來年紅色飲食指南重臨之時,The Principal 必然榜上有名,摘星有望。
