夏天吃甜品,很多人都喜愛吃些較為清新口味的款式,所以廚師都會用上大量生果為材料,既消暑又不會太甜膩。最近,在The Ritz-Carlton吃了一款挺不錯的甜品,以桃來造,名叫Mountain Peach。用了來自法國的桃子,先把桃跟上少許白酒等配料煲煮大概十五分鐘,再加上新鮮打製的果蓉便完成,以少許花瓣作點綴,賣相漂亮。果肉軟腍,卻不會爛散,入口口感仍然實在,清甜多汁,盛載著的果蓉冰凍極至,加上了新鮮梨汁來造,每口盡是鮮甜,吃下令人涼快透心。在炎炎夏日享用一客,真是消暑好甜品。剛剛也收到資料,Tosca會從7月28日開始推出烹飪班,想跟主廚Vittorio Lucariello學習烹調菜色的,也不要錯過。

由於我係新手,所以唔識放相,sorry!早一日訂枱,準時入坐,招呼真係一流但食物既味道同價錢真係唔入相付。坐低,首先問要唔要a drink to start with?但由於我另一半不能喝酒,只點了一樽still water......不過上water同時offer一杯champagne比我地,但女友始終唔飲得所以佢拒絕左,而我當然接受啦,waiter知道女友唔飲得酒後再offer佢fruit juice....同埋暖水一杯,very good!!同介紹menu, 可能係我地才疏學淺,當佢介紹完之後我地一致認為佢講得太快,而且略為細聲左小小。but that's not a problem at all~ So far so good~我地點左2個starter , 1個angel hair for second, 2個main.....1dessert點餐後,先來包包拼盤,5款有2,好食......麻麻,跟住再黎就係另一款送既starter,女友又唔食得,即時換第二款!讚!Starter~Amberjack,上枱時一望就覺得得幾粒魚~味道都係 no good!

Starter~Amberjack,上枱時一望就覺得

Pigeon,正,好好味,由於脾位連骨同太好味所以我不顧而態,用手拎起黎食

Second~Tagliolini, 意粉味道都係一般,但隻蝦就好鮮味,ok~~
Main~Turbot, 味道同普通煎鱈魚差唔多,略咸。
Beef~ 因為女友唔可以食太生,於是叫左70%熟,所以有d un, 但味道唔錯,medium rare 應該會好好味!good!
Dessert pre-order左寫幾個字係碟,都做得好靚~佢安排左一個lemon sponge比我地,not bad~~
最後就係一d送coffee既餅仔,好精緻,但太甜。
重括成餐飯,食service ,great view~食物質量我相信一定高,不過味道對我地黎講就差dd。但服務搭返夠。
2人世界係一個唔錯既選擇~

It is birthday again... and this year, here I was, at Tosca. Having heard about the new hip place at Ritz for almost a year, I was in much anticipation for this birthday dinner.

It is birthday again... and this year, here I was, at Tosca. Having heard about the new hip place at Ritz for almost a year, I was in much anticipation for this birthday dinner. Toscana was originally led by Bombana at Ritz Carlton in Central. After the relocation at ICC, I was wondering who would lead the new Tosca. I was looking around at the open kitchen and oooh! It was Chef Vittorio Lucariello, the former chef at Grissini and Angelini. I remembered I had taken a class on Italian cooking with him. Very excited with the newly discovered information, I was seated by the window.

The deco of the restaurant was a little weird, it seemed to me they wanted to present a modern impression but had overdone it. There was a fountain right next to my table which I found a little too noisy with the incessantly flowing water. The view was impeccable nonetheless, and I started turning the page for the menu.

Tosca was a Southern Italian restaurant, specializing in traditional Neapolitan cuisine. A very down-to-earth and classic selection of Italian food, and we picked a few dishes to share. To start we had an amuse bouche of two small dishes. I liked the tofu with green beans in wasabi taste! Pretty interesting dish to freshen up my palette for the night, while the teacup was a cold tomato soup.

Purple Shrimp Tartare, fruit, beetroot puree and capers caught my eye and it was the first appetizer dish we ordered. I loved the tartare as the natural sweetness of the shrimps matched really well with the freshly diced fruits. Parma ham has always been one of my all-time favorite and decided to try the Selection of Italian Ham, melon, figs and aged parmesan cheese. We started from the lightest taste to the strongest. My heart went to the ham from Northern Italy. I remembered the manager's elaboration that it was a type of black pork from Northern Italy. It was a perfect combination of sweet and lightly salted flavor, accompanied by fig! It was just right for my liking!

Contented with the Parma Ham, the main arrived. We decided to try one of the Signature Dishes - Homemade Tagliolini with Red Prawns, tomato tartare and chili peppers. Taglioini was al dente, and the chewy red prawns blended well with tomato tartare. It was definitely not bad, but was a little too ordinary to be memorable. The other dish was Roasted Mediterranean Sea Bass, spring onion purée and Buffalo mozzarella. Same comment - a little too ordinary. Smooth texture of the fish meat while the mozzarella side was not heavy at all. It was a light dish to save up space for dessert.

When I was contemplating of the choices of dessert, I realized it had been pre-ordered (thanks for the thoughtfulness!) and Oh My! There was actually a 'performance' of the cooking process! They made home-made ice-cream with liquid nitrogen, to prevent it from melting too fast. It instantly froze the ingredients inside to make ice-cream and voilà! Here was a birthday dessert platter! Loved the texture of the ice-cream, and the rich chocolate brownie! We had another dessert which was Orange chocolate mousse. I am a big fan of orange dark chocolate and it was such a divine experience to eat chocolate mousse along with a sweetened slice of orange!

Maybe there was too much hip about Tosca and its skyscraper location. If you wish to be wow-ed and awed by the creativity of the dishes, Tosca is not the place for you. But if you have a craving for traditional Italian cuisine, you might still want to have a try but keep in mind part of the premium is dedicated to the night view.

Ambience: The restaurant is indeed impressive upon entering with the high ceiling, stylish art deco designs and chandelier as well as the open bustling kitchen with an impressive amount of chefs cooking up a storm. The view of course is great, but sadly you would only be able to see it if you were seated at the window tables. There is a stiffness / cool sense in the ambience which makes the venue more suited for a business lunch or dining with a group of friends, rather than an intimate dining experience with a special someone.

Service: It is worth mentioning the difficulty we had in the initial booking. It was not that the restaurant was filled up because it was in fact easy to reserve a table with only a couple of days advance booking. The issue lies in the operator system where no one would be available to pick up the telephone even after a full 5 minutes of waiting. This occurred at every single try. During dining however, the service was great and this was because they do have a significant number of staff waiting on you. Perhaps they should consider moving some of them to the telephone...

Food: Overall the food was sufficient but was not out of this world. I would come back but likely only in a distant future.

For starters, the chef provided an amuse bouche of Parma Ham with a Cheesy Sponge Cake and Balsamic Vinaigrette. While it seems like an odd combination, the flavours blended very well and was enjoyable. We ordered the Papardelle Ragout and the Beef Carpaccio. The pasta was cooked al-dente, though personally it was still a little tough to chew. The dish was quite a simple ragout but still enjoyable. The Beef Carpaccio was delicious, served with three variety of asparagus topping which each in its own provided a different experience for the palate. I would rate the ragout a 6/10 and the beef carpaccio 7/10.

For the main course, we ordered the Paccheri Pasta with Scampi in pesto sauce and the Lamb Chops. For a place that is supposed to be known for their pasta, the Paccheri was disappointing. The dish looked impressive but the taste was underwhelming. The Lamb chops was one of their signature dish and that met our expectations, which would have been the least it could do. I would rate the Paccheri as a 4/10 and the lamp chops a 7/10.

For dessert, we ordered the Tiramisu and Canoli. Dessert was an absolute joy and the best part of the meal. Tiramisu was creamy with a strong espresso flavour, and tasted like little bites of heaven! Canoli also exceeded expectations with the crunchiness and cream filled pistachio topped with caramel ice-cream. Both desserts rate 10/10. At the end of the meal, the Chef provided 5 types of Petit Fours which were of standard quality. We finished the meal with two glasses of Moscato D'asti which as always is heavenly!

Overall the prices is quite hefty (we paid about $2000 for 2 persons for a 3-course with a glass of wine each), but I think it is worth a try if you are looking for a new fine dining restaurant to explore.

在第二張table, 我選了大部份火腿, 少量沙律和一片燒豬; 火腿的味道和口感各有不同, 燒豬的豬皮仍然能保持鬆脆。 至於他們最專業的, 莫過於芝士部份, 芝士大致分為兩類, 乾身和水浸的水牛芝士; 水牛芝士的味道較接近鮮牛奶味, 質感與白烚雞蛋接近; 不同的是芝士是由一層又一層組成的圓球體。而硬身的芝士就感覺比較像一般Buffet的芝士, 例如藍芝士。而餐廳經理Dino更主動地介紹各種的水午芝士, 並提點我們在進食時不要和其他芝士放在同一隻碟上, 以免破壞水牛芝士的原有味道。

過了食頭盤的時間, 主菜終於登場; 我所點的主菜是章魚鮮車厘茄橄欖意大利闊麪。零香料的烹飪不會令人感到主菜下肚後太飽, 闊麪的質感爽甜並能與鮮茄、章魚三種鮮味同時感受到。

我在甜品中取了的主要有兩碟, 其中包括, 西西里甜卷配無花果, Espresso Creme Brulee, 意大利咖啡純朱古力筒等。甜品大多都不太甜, 因此可以保留原材料的口味。唯一失分就是曲奇沒有太明顯的味道。而我感到從中甜品可看出其心上作出的改變, 就是意大利咖啡純朱古力筒本身是由一個小形的咖啡杯改為朱古力筒。

最後的是要介紹主打飲品Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve NV同餐廳提供的餐後飲品Latte, 香檳的口味很清新, 有很香的白提子味令其更容易入口。而Latte方面, 與其他Buffet上桌的方法不同, 待應會把Espresso在客人面前直接倒入已打泡的熱鮮奶內, 相對之下, Latte的咖啡同牛奶成份也較一般咖啡為高。

在環境上, 在Tosca向上望可看到Cafe 103, 則可以吃到朱古力下午茶的地方, 樓底高而裝修不錯, 只可惜的是香港的空氣質素每况愈下, 可以看到清晰海景的機會恐怕也愈來愈少。

總的來說, 這個Brunch可說是Ritz Carlton給星期日到Tosca 光顧的一份心意, 因為即使是平日散點的話, 加起來即使是午餐也可能要每人一仟蚊落樓了!

My second visit was not as "lucky" - no blue sky, no clear view. I will not even post a photo here. Well, you can imagine.



Tosca does have more than a pleasant environment. Big clear windows and situated on the 102/F up at Ritz.

Reservation can be annoying. I saw and see no point of visiting without a window seat table. Booked a few months ago. Rang up twice to follow up for a window seat and they still could not guarantee it. It could really be a bit annoying.

To be honest, I do not understand the hassle, at all. You book early enough, you request a window seat table, the restaurant counts the number of table booked with explicit request to be by the window seat, the restaurant confirms with the ones who rang early! They kept saying "we could not tell you until the day"... right; there are not THAT many tables, is it so difficult to do seating plans?

Also, at Ritz, at Tosca; paying this price - you expect pretty good service. Well, the waiters and waitresses took the orders professionally, presented the dishes professionally. But - when they were not directly serving you, they did not really look out for you (e.g. no one refilled our water). You would expect a bit more from this place.

Bread basket - served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Bread, something so simple; yet so difficult to give the awe factor. This was given for a table of 4. Not warm. Nothing impressive. The "pizza-style" slice was slightly more interesting. They offered to refill after we finished it.

Scallops as starter. I must say this is quite disappointing. The scallops themselves were fresh. Presentation was nice too. I had great expectations when I saw this dish; the thick mustard-coloured sauce looked very flavourful. But (and significantly) it was tasteless.

Pasta. It is not too difficult to do a nice tomato sauce base. It is not easy to do a nice white sauce base. It is very difficult to do a good pasta dish in neither tomato nor white sauce. Sorry, but this was bad. Asked for some cheese, hoping to make it better. Served with super-market-style-ready-to-be-used cheese powder. (and I did not see how the asparagus could ever compliment this dish.)

Ended with tea/coffee and petit four.



Overall, quite a disappointing experience.

I ordered a la carte for my first visit and it was way better. Still not amazing, but with the view, you could be persuaded to return.

BUT with such a mediocre meal (plus with poor visibility though not Tosca's fault). Would I come again? Not too interested.

(Yes Sky 100 costs you HK$150 to get up. Some may argue that you might as well pay for a bit more and get a lunch. But why don't you buy yourself a drink at Ozone instead?)

The view should be COMPLEMENTING our experience, not COMPENSATING.When Tosca cannot control the weather, the visibility, the sun, the moon and the star; Tosca can only focus and work on the food. The appeal of the view will not always be able to compensate the quality of the food. (maybe it was just a bad lunch menu for my day, maybe the chef did not have a good night, maybe maybe)

Kind of like in life. You can only do the best that you can; many other factors are out of your control.

Tosca is booked up so far in advance you really have to reserve a couple of months before you can eat. That said, the staff really did try to do their best to accommodate us and ultimately found an opening that was not too ridiculous. Finding the restaurant was a bit confusing, as you first need to go to the Elements shopping mall at Kowloon Station, then walk and ride 2 escalators to the Ritz-Carlton hotel, take the lifts up to the 103rd floor, then take an escalator down one level to the bar, from there they will escort you to the dining area!


As you make your way to the other side of the restaurant, the decor is incredible, full of glass and lights, however the dimness only adds to the feeling of disorientation. It's cool in a disco-ey funhouse sort of way and those who are easily impressed will be mesmerized by all the sparkly kitsch.

The level of service in a place like this borders on the silly. The attention we got from the wait staff was a far cry from the burly indifferent treatment in typical of HK, and although I understand that Tosca is another level altogether, it still feels funny to have the waiters fawn over us like they did.

Let's be honest, you probably chose this place for the view, and yes, the view is magnificent. What else can I say? Moving on...

Before you order, you should know that any meal at Tosca comes with a few extras. In addition to the food we ordered, we were served with a basket with 4 or 5 different kinds of freshly baked breads and a small glass bowl of tomato puree with a white cheese.

We ordered pigeon as our appetizer, and it was perfectly cooked, tender and very juicy. The other garnishes on the plate were a little puzzling, especially the foie gras addition. Now, I've never had foie gras before, but the texture and flavor of their preparation seemed very unusual: very soft and slippery, not like liver at all, and we both were surprised that it tasted like chinese fermented bean curd (foo yue)! It mostly went unfinished.

Next, our main courses. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, and my pasta was very good. The portions are not huge, but then, you are not here to gorge yourself. If you are a big eater, then I suggest you order another dish, or ask for a bread basket refill.

For dessert, we ordered the Tiramisu, which was not a traditional one, but tasty nonetheless. It seemed to lack the usual ladyfingers and was comprised mostly of whipping cream, marscapone, cocoa powder, and garnished with a shard of chocolate.

To end the evening, we were served a final freebie: a selection of chocolates. A fun and entertaining finish.

All in all, it was a memorable evening, however, keep in mind that the price for all this decadence was a hefty $1100 for two, which is on the low side considering we ordered very conservatively and didn't order drinks. I would say dinner for two can easily run up to $1500-2000!

Was it worth it? If money is no object for you, then by all means. However, for the rest of us, it's an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience for very special occasions. The price is very steep, and the food and service is good, but I would have a hard time bringing myself to spend that kind of money again...

After a one month wait, the highly anticipated dinner reservation I made for Tosca finally came around.

After a one month wait, the highly anticipated dinner reservation I made for Tosca finally came around. Situated on the 102rd floor of the Ritz Carlton, the floor to ceiling windows presents a spectacular night view overlooking the harbour, giving diners the sense that they are dining on top of the world.

Amuse bouche

Anchovies with onion. The anchovy was smooth with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and although it did have a noticeable fishy flavour (which I normally avoid) the tartness of the marinated onion helped mask most of it, making it more pleasant.

Appetisers

Beef Carpaccio. This dish was presented quite differently with the beef plated as one large, circular silce, rather than several small thin slices. The accompaniments atop the carpaccio was a quenelle of olive oil gelato and goats cheese. There was just enough fat present in the beef to make it tender and although the flavour of the gelato and cheese was quite mild, it allowed the flavour of the beef to shine through.

Purple Shrimp Tartare. The name was quite intriguing and upon being served the dish did we realise the colour was from beetroot juice. To be honest the dish was nothing surprising, but you could taste the freshness of the shrimp.

Main course

Veal Ragout with Parpadelle. When this dish arrived, I could smell the most enticing aroma from the ragout making me eager to twirl my fork through the ribbons of pasta. However, it did not taste as good as it smelled. The parpadelle was not as al dente as I would have liked and the sauce became quite overwhelming after a few bites.

Lamb chops. It seemed to be a trend with Tosca that the quality of ingredients is top-notch, but the end result is pretty normal. This was again evident in this dish, where the lamb was cooked to a perfect blushing pink resulting in the most tender texture, but the accompaniments did stand out.

Tosca Tiramisu. This was the dessert that gained the most attention in reviews and therefore, logically seemed to be one of the must orders of the evening. It came as a deconstructed version in a glass bowl where the liquor/espresso soaked sponge cake was layered between fluffy cream, sprinkled with ground coffee and topped with thin slices of dark, dark chocolate. For a coffee lover this would be heaven as with each spoonful the heady aroma of coffee enveloped the senses giving the indulger a slight caffienated high while the cream added that extra touch of decadence. But for me, I would have enjoyed it more if it was just a little sweeter.

Cream filled Canoli with fig jam and burnt caramel ice-cream. In terms of every dish of the evening, I would say this was definitely the best. Silky, thick cream piped into crisp shells and dipped into crushed pistachios. The canoli gave way with a brittle crack and coupled with the luscious cream it was definitely a sinful moment. The caramel ice-cream was intense in flavour, but was quite refreshing to the palate after all the creaminess.

Petite Fours and Coffee. The coffee here was definitely spectacular, smooth with a bold flavour and the right temperature for me (extra hot please) . My decaf latte came as two separate components to the table a tall glass of extra hot frothed milk and a small cup of espresso. This was mixed together in front of me. The waitress explained that the manager as an Italian sees that the latte should be more milky hence the higher ratio of milk and the reason why it was served in a tall glass was due to him liking things all sleek and slim which is definitely true if you happen to see his figure.

The petite fours from L-R, Lemon cream filled chocolate with chocolate cookie crumbs underneath, a jam meringue biscuit, dark chocolate truffle, caramel macaron and dark chocolate sticks studded with dried strawberries. The macaron was the highlight, light and chewy without being overly sweet.

Would I say it was worth the one month wait? Maybe for a special occasion or wanting to impress your date with the thoughtfulness of making reservations so far in advance. For me the canoli and coffee was definitely memorable though and hopefully the lounge at the Ritz Carlton serves the same coffee!

為了「志在必得」某日的Window Seat, 所以四個多月前已訂位,電話訂座後就收到email確認,清楚列明地點,dress code。四個月後,用餐;兩日前收到reconfirm 電話,亦pre order 了一些service ,店方態度十分友善,讚!最喜歡並不是Parma Ham, 而是最重口味的SAN DANIELE HAM'正' 係比份量, 味道方面....個人都係喜歡黑松露多D好多人讚呢度o既意大利粗通心麵, 我就覺得不過不失Tosca 的招牌甜品- Tiramisu 未獲太多好評,所以就無order,但估唔到店方得悉席間有人生日,竟然有complimentary,真正的驚喜!味道方便未至於差,但就真係食唔到酒味,對於酒味不太著重的可以一試。最後加埋Petit four,兩人食真係超飽呢~~Tosca氣氛頗causal,沒有一般酒店餐廳的formal,各員工都親切有禮,環境就更不用多說,所以用餐心情十分良好,但就略嫌Staff 細心得滯,收碟快左dd....有少少annoying,總括而言,雖然食物質素不算十分出眾,但都會希望下次可以日間時分再來試埋Lunch的。

Tosca 的招牌甜品- Tiramisu 未獲太多好評,所以就無order,但估唔到店方得悉席間有人生日,竟然有complimentary,真正的驚喜!

味道方便未至於差,但就真係食唔到酒味,對於酒味不太著重的可以一試。

最後加埋Petit four,兩人食真係超飽呢~~


Tosca氣氛頗causal,沒有一般酒店餐廳的formal,各員工都親切有禮,環境就更不用多說
,所以用餐心情十分良好,但就略嫌Staff 細心得滯,收碟快左dd....有少少annoying,總括而言,雖然食物質素不算十分出眾,但都會希望下次可以日間時分再來試埋Lunch的。

五月尾訂位,最快都要七月尾至有,等左個幾月終於等到,遇上大好天氣,藍天白雲,淨係個景已經賞心悅目。多款芝士及ham既選擇,不乏好味之選。甜品亦都唔錯,個黑松露朱古力味道幾特別,印象最為深刻。加多幾拾蚊要埋香檳任飲,正呀!反而個main就真係好一般。

和好朋友聚舊,因為她住在附近的關係,所以我們選了去Ritz Carlton 的 Tosca

一個字: 劣!

早一個星期BOOK 位,無窗口位之餘
可能因為OPEN KITCHEN 的關係,非常嘈吵,完全不能和朋友好好的談話

一開始就點佐杯CRANBERRY JUICE -- $60
非常淡,又細杯

至於食物... 個SET LUNCH,一個頭盤,一個MAIN,一個甜品
因為看到附近有人點了個意粉,賣相不錯,所以問侍應是咩
點知出黎的完全不是我們看到的那種意粉...

係那邊做,侍應竟然不清楚他們賣的是什麼食物,非常失望

講真,食盡很多有平有貴的餐廳,我覺得TOSCA 的食物並不是想像中的好

甜品..最討厭太甜的甜品,我覺得食物永遠是健康為先,沒有健康,就不可以吃自己想吃的
而這間餐廳的 Tiramisu...
