友人生日更係要出來食餐飯吹下水, 今次佢提議想試下W52 , 所有星期二晚我地2個就再來蘭桂坊, 估唔到星期二既蘭桂坊一樣精采想都想唔明點解D人可以晚晚浦BAR仲要喜歡企係度飲酒吹水..不過我這種宅女係唔會明白架啦.今次唔係俾人安排 , 所以2條友睇MENU研究都研究好耐先叫左..先來個麵包藍, 旁邊係用白豆整既醬..不過本身D包麻麻地配個醬都無咩特別...頭盤我地叫左BEEF TARTAR WITH BLACK TRUFFLE同白酒煮蜆, 明明上次食既BEEF TARTAR都唔係咁, 今次雖然有TRUFFLE但一D都無味連生牛肉都唔覺得好味, 至於個蜆就唔錯, 帶少少酒香D肉又鮮甜, 成晚最喜歡就係這個.今次佢地既SPECIAL MENU以WHITE TRUFFLE為主題, 店員推介我地食個WHITE TRUFFLE PASTA另外我地叫左個BLACK COD(不過又係上次食過既, 但當然又係上次來食正好多, 今次偏咸扣分扣分呀)至於個PASTA就好好味, 可能係D意粉本身少少熱再即場整D WHITE TRUFFLE令到D白松露出左少少香味, 都算唔錯, 不過睇埋個價錢我都係覺得唔值

友人生日更係要出來食餐飯吹下水, 今次佢提議想試下W52 , 所有星期二晚我地2個就再來蘭桂坊, 估唔到星期二既蘭桂坊一樣精采想都想唔明點解D人可以晚晚浦BAR仲要喜歡企係度飲酒吹水..不過我這種宅女係唔會明白架啦.
今次唔係俾人安排 , 所以2條友睇MENU研究都研究好耐先叫左..
先來個麵包藍, 旁邊係用白豆整既醬..不過本身D包麻麻地配個醬都無咩特別...頭盤我地叫左BEEF TARTAR WITH BLACK TRUFFLE同白酒煮蜆, 明明上次食既BEEF TARTAR都唔係咁, 今次雖然有TRUFFLE但一D都無味連生牛肉都唔覺得好味, 至於個蜆就唔錯, 帶少少酒香D肉又鮮甜, 成晚最喜歡就係這個.

今次佢地既SPECIAL MENU以WHITE TRUFFLE為主題, 店員推介我地食個WHITE TRUFFLE PASTA另外我地叫左個BLACK COD(不過又係上次食過既, 但當然又係上次來食正好多, 今次偏咸扣分扣分呀)
至於個PASTA就好好味, 可能係D意粉本身少少熱再即場整D WHITE TRUFFLE令到D白松露出左少少香味, 都算唔錯, 不過睇埋個價錢我都係覺得唔值得試.

最後2條友更係叫埋甜品, CONNIE選左tiramisu另外店員推介既Napoleon, 點知店員介紹既Napoleon係超超超甜仲要係多cream真係嚇人, 成碟野最好味係個咖啡雪糕, 至於個tiramisu係無咩特別令人驚喜.

其實我地由7時半就開始食, 一去到成層得另一枱客, 不過好似未夠8時就已經走左, 所以2條傻婆就由8點包場到10點幾...
不過整體來講第2次再來既食物已經覺得麻麻.

W52 - on Wyndham street, right opposite to the LKF hotel. Easily accessible to and from LKF. Great location for a nice chilled dinner before a good drink!

G/F was the bar area. We arrived at around 8pm and it was pretty packed considering that it was a Tuesday night; good ambience. The lift could bring you to any of the 1/F-3/F (3/F being the "Kitchen Table" - private dinning experience). We were seated on the 2/F.

Service was in general good. They managed to add an extra seat for us (originally a table for 4). Good recommendations of food by a courteous waitress. Wine and water refilled often. Plates changed swiftly. Bill came with no hassle. One slight hiccup - the waiter failed to remove the cork of our red, he had to bring the bottle away to sort it out, it was resolved at the end though

Nice Bread Basket. It was served with some kind of hummus (that did not go well with all types of bread served, but it was nice). Was particularly impressed with the cute mini squid ink roll. It did not just look black for the sake of being black. There was really a nice mild (mild, not in a negative way) hint of squid ink flavour. Grissini was also memorable; super crispy!! Would be even better if served warmer!

The ham was very smoky, full-body, flavourful and just romantic . Bruschetta unbelievably crispy! The tomato and olives on top paired up very well; the olives did the magic and brought a whole new dimension and complexity to the taste. Would not recommend having the ham and the bruschetta together though. Both deserve to be enjoyed on its own.

Burrata means "buttered" in Italian. Solid mozzarella as the thin outer shell. Sliced it open and the creamy cheese ozzed out!
It felt so simple, so natural, so fresh - SO GOOD! Came with it: "crisp lattuga heart" which was indeed really fresh and crisp! Tomato - there appeared to be two types, fresh ones and sun-dried ones! Nice and thoughtful offer. Olivers. All went well together!


Fresh Chitarrini / Hokkaido sea urchin / green asparagus

This was VERY NICE!!
The chitarrini was perfectly al dente (honestly, perfectly al dente) soaked generously with the creamy pasta base sauce. Sea urchin, fresh, creamy and fat. Just the right amount of asparagus. Asparagus has its very own distinctive taste, and it went very well with the whole dish putting the spotlight on the sea urchin. It somehow toned down the strong and yummy pasta sauce (in a good way) bringing a hint of "fresh-veg-bitterness". Then BANG! Reward yourself a bit of sea urchin. It was like magic.


Roasted suckling pig "alla maniera Toscana" / baby potato / Topinambur / Mandarancio sauce

This was my least favourite dish of the night, still ok though. I found the skin roasted more towards the chewy-side than the crispy-side (I personally do not enjoy chewy suckling pig skin too much
). The fat proportion in each piece was slightly too much as well. The mandarancio sauce went well with the dish though; a beautiful balance of taste. Mandarancio is basically clementine. If handled not carefully, it could easily be too sweet and overwhelming.

Scallop Risotto

SUPERB!!!
The scallop was very fresh and done just right (overcooked scallops are a waste). The heart of it was a bit silky, perfection! The risotto was well-cooked; it was rich and creamy and there was the right amount resistance and bite. It did not only taste nice.
There was this hint of zesty tingle while I chewed , and that lasted to a beautiful after-taste!
One of the best risottos I have had in Hong Kong!! yumyumyum!!



When I first heard of W52, I only thought of B-52 (the Kahlua, Bailey's & Grand Marnier shot)
and immediately I thought it would be more of a "bar" (indeed it has a lively bar area) than a nice restaurant. W52 impressed me!

An enjoyable dinner. This is somewhere I will return.

和朋友約了在中環吃午餐,一直也在想到底應該到那裡吃好,雖然W52一直也是自己想去的地方,卻也還是嘗試再找一下有沒有更好的選擇,結果左思右想後,還是來到這裡,因為實在找不到比這裡更吸引的地方了。*v*早在數天前打來訂了位,店員態度也是非常親切的,最後店員安排了窗邊的位置給我,雖然沒有很漂亮的景色,但在陽光絢爛的日子,被太陽光照射下吃一頓溫暖的午餐也很不錯呢。這裡的午餐是Semi-buffet的形式,價錢也隨著不同的main course而不同,不過對我來說最吸引的還是甜品的部份。之前聽朋友說過這裡的甜品在refill時還會有新的款式推出,是次見到的不只甜品,想不到連Antipasti也是一樣,一邊吃偶而會發現有新的款式出現,結果整個過程也停不下來,就是不停吃吃吃,有時連拍照也被我拋諸腦後了…….點菜後店員會送上bread basket,有三款其中最喜歡Grissini,非常香口而且脆卜卜,其他麵包都幾鬆軟的,雖然不是好夠熱,旁邊那個醬是用豆蓉製成的,味道不是很濃烈但都幾清新的。Antipasti既buffet實在非常多選擇,盡量每一款都有吃吃看,有很多醃製過既蔬菜,全部都酸酸的幾開胃,食

和朋友約了在中環吃午餐,一直也在想到底應該到那裡吃好,雖然W52一直也是自己想去的地方,卻也還是嘗試再找一下有沒有更好的選擇,結果左思右想後,還是來到這裡,因為實在找不到比這裡更吸引的地方了。*v*

早在數天前打來訂了位,店員態度也是非常親切的,最後店員安排了窗邊的位置給我,雖然沒有很漂亮的景色,但在陽光絢爛的日子,被太陽光照射下吃一頓溫暖的午餐也很不錯呢。

這裡的午餐是Semi-buffet的形式,價錢也隨著不同的main course而不同,不過對我來說最吸引的還是甜品的部份。之前聽朋友說過這裡的甜品在refill時還會有新的款式推出,是次見到的不只甜品,想不到連Antipasti也是一樣,一邊吃偶而會發現有新的款式出現,結果整個過程也停不下來,就是不停吃吃吃,有時連拍照也被我拋諸腦後了…….

點菜後店員會送上bread basket,有三款其中最喜歡Grissini,非常香口而且脆卜卜,其他麵包都幾鬆軟的,雖然不是好夠熱,旁邊那個醬是用豆蓉製成的,味道不是很濃烈但都幾清新的。

Antipasti既buffet實在非常多選擇,盡量每一款都有吃吃看,有很多醃製過既蔬菜,全部都酸酸的幾開胃,食落亦感覺材料是新鮮的,mixed salad亦有多款,其中一款是魚+蜆肉的就味道偏鹹了點。我想它是每日的款式也有所不同,是日吃到其中一個羊肉卷覺得很好吃,肉質軟腍得來味道很出。還有大家一定會留意到的parma ham with melon,切得很薄身,感覺新鮮而且味道濃郁,又不會太乾身,加上超香甜蜜瓜,很好吃呀,另外還有兩款cold cut和香腸都是很不錯的。Cheese platter有數款選擇,雖說不出名字,但其中有一款朋友很喜歡吃的,texture較軟身而且味道亦濃,但其實我更喜歡配cheese platter旁邊的脆薄,非常脆口又帶點點香草味,非常不錯的。

不過等main course的時間實在非常漫長,之後店員過來解釋原來是日有人在樓上包了場,所以廚房較忙,幸好我們都不太趕時間呢,在等的途中我還再拿了一回前菜吃,哈哈。

Main course朋友選了mushroom risotto,我想他應該也滿意的,我嚐了一口,飯粒外軟內硬,幾有咬口的。味道亦不錯,混合了雜菌和忌廉,香味都算濃郁而且又不會過鹹,因為事隔一日我在另一間亦吃了同一款食物,那裡的我就覺得偏鹹了點呢。

而我就選了Spaghetti with King Prawn & Porcini,不知這款意粉是否這裡homemade的,但真的很特別,它的形狀是偏四方形的,吃下去還吃到蛋香而且煮得al dente,真的剛好帶點點硬身,很喜歡其口感呢。King Prawn肉質爽口,鮮味亦不俗,配上牛肝菌整個意粉都很惹味呢。

雖然一直吃吃吃都覺得很滿意,但最最最喜歡的還是其甜品buffet,真的每一款都很好吃的!!!! 是日我吃過的有lemon tart,chocolate cake,tiramisu,fruit tart,泡芙,crème brulee等等等等,lemon tart檸檬味非常突出,味道夠酸很清新好吃,撻底又不會太腍。Tiramisu也是很不錯,酒味和咖啡味兩者皆有,mascarpone又夠濃滑,我只吃了一次就被其他客人吃光了…….

Crème brulee蛋香頗重而且幾幼滑的,表面的焦糖脆身而且亦不會太厚,吃下去的時候還吃到點點橙味,令整個crème brulee頓時變得沒那麼膩呢。

Fruit tart也是很好吃,生果很新鮮,吃了一款是blueberry的很鮮甜,而且它的忌廉又是甜而不膩,是日我只吃了一個,之後又被其他客人吃光了。但廚師出來時我還不死心的問他還有沒有,結果他說fruit tart就沒有了,不如弄拿破崙給你吧!! 哈哈,那一刻實在覺得超級幸運,雖然明知他不是特地弄的,還是覺得很貼心呀。結果拿破崙也是很好吃,分別是藍莓和紅莓的,兩款我也吃過,因為它的酥皮脆得來還帶點牛油香,加上那和fruit tart一樣不膩的忌廉在中間,真的吃多一兩件也沒問題。

其中有一款我覺得很好吃但不知道是什麼名字,它是四方型然後一層層酥皮的,內裡有著類似custard的東西,它的酥皮非常香脆不在說,我咬一口幾乎散到周圍都是,而且custard香甜得來還帶有點點酒香,非常好吃。

以上的我全部都覺得很不錯,但其實之後我最懷念的還而是其chocolate cake,那一刻覺得吃一件已經很夠,但其實它真的很好吃的,吃下去感覺light得來朱古力味依然香濃,我在第二天起床時想到的也是它……

最後再以一杯咖啡為這頓午餐畫上句號,雖不是很好喝,但仍然覺得很滿足呢。

總結整頓也吃得很開心和滿意,當然最開心的是甜品的部分啦,我在第二天已經覺得很懷念很想再吃一遍了,所以非常推介大家來吃吃看呀。

是日在這裡渡過了很快樂的時光,我的笑容好像一直不曾消失似的,所以這裡的笑面是給定的了。實在很感謝朋友請客,下次再輪到我請你吃好吃的東西啦。*v*

2) antipasti buffet (包咗)
-佢嘅antipasti table唔大,只喺1張普通圓枱,款式算喺多
-最吸住我對眼當然喺parma ham w/melon啦,3款cold cut,2-3款mixed好嘅沙律,醃過嘅唔同蔬菜,有南瓜,紅菜頭,露筍,青瓜,茄子,cheese platter等
-佢嘅火腿唔會喺好長年期,不過鹹得來又有鮮味,薄得來很柔軟,而個蜜瓜好熟,好甜
-其他蔬菜大多醃過,有點酸,而其1番茄紫洋蔥絲沙律好味
-2款嫩粉紅色嘅cold cut都好,深紅嘅腸就估唔到辣到飛起,我只切咗1小口,真的想跳舞咁滯,即時放棄

ii) rigatoni ($195)
-呢個意粉真喺稱得上al dente喇..........不過友人就略嫌硬咗d
-個sauce濃,香菇味,少"杰",剛剛夠,唔會好似湯咁
-配料只有菇同火腿
-因為聞說佢嘅pasta得,所以選來2款都喺pasta
-main course仲有魚呀,肉呀揀,不過就要$255

4) dessert buffet (包咗)
-呢個喺我另1揀嚟呢道食嘅主因,尤其佢嘅profiteroles
-見食友大約1/2年前嘅食評,讚過佢嘅profiteroles..........我超鐘意puff呀,eclair呀,profiteroles呀呢種甜品.........但出面餐廳嘅dessert menu好少見..........所以1直好想來
-為確保1定有profiteroles,我特意喺佢哋嘅website留咗個request...........佢哋都覆得好快,confirm1定會準備
-甜品種類算喺咁啦,多就唔講得
-當日嘅甜品有profiterles, tiramisu,apricot pie, chestnut tart, baba, creme brulee, apple crumble, 芝士pancake同生果粒
-除咗apricot pie, apple crumble同生果粒無試外,其他全部都試晒
-最喜歡喺profiteroles,因佢個皮真喺好鬆脆,用力1點,就會裂,裡面嘅custard cream唔甜,好食,共食咗3個
-栗子撻嘅栗子味出,不過個皮就唔喺酥脆嗰種,小軟身
-而個朱古力蛋糕truffle部份很滑,也很濃
-baba好有特色,平時要配以rum酒點火...........lunch嘅buffet,當然無+酒+火..........換成cream同vanilla sauce,好似soak過檸檬味嘅糖水咁,喺咁多款甜品中最有甜意的
-唯獨tiramisu同芝士pancake嘅mascarpone cheese同cream好似有點溶feel,賣相變得有點1pat嘢咁

-sorry,呢度要比$$$$叫水

6) 熱檸水
-當然正常啦

7) 熱奶茶
-唔知味道如何,但最impress就喺壼奶,喺打熱咗嘅,好detail

* 好多謝友請客............嗰日好失策咁無帶相機...........以上嘅相都喺用友人嘅iphone影出嚟............都好得喎~

* 見buffet tables嘅食物款式都幾意大利吓...........尤其antipasti,而且煮法都好鬼佬,pasta嘅硬度唔會遷就香港人,所以我like

* 服務很好...........之前喺website上留request,又覆得快.........現場waitor很熱心,又同出去搵嘢食嘅客人講解吓枱上食物...........waitress都有問我哋覺得佢哋嘅食物如何

* 佢哋嘅牙籤好別緻喺我第1次見~~~~

「像天堂...」坐下之後,部分同事有這種感覺。有兩重意思:首先是,剛剛在戶外受過盛夏高熱,這裡份外涼快;另外,店內設計以白色為基調,叫人想起人間以外的世界(當然,大家其實都未曾到過天堂,如何得知天堂的顏色是題外話)。這天主菜有Pici in Tomato Sauce,番茄醬當然不陌生,至於Pici則要請教侍應。「好似烏冬...」意式Pasta想不到用日本麵食作比較說明。「...不過質地較烏冬要韌一點。」出於好奇,點了。侍應提供的導賞很準確,也很有需要。這Pici外型確實九成似烏冬,而質地又的而且確比一般Pasta要求的al dente感覺更堅實許多,初吃也許會有點不習慣。大概也由於這緣故,這Pici特別飽肚,幸好配搭濃濃番茄醬,只飽不滯。餐前餐後的Appetizer Buffet及餐後的Dessert Buffet,前人都說過,不再細表。美中不足:這天主菜來得較慢,落單至上菜差不多一小時,往好處想,造就了大好藉口讓我們大吃Appetizer。

「好似烏冬...」意式Pasta想不到用日本麵食作比較說明。
「...不過質地較烏冬要韌一點。」
出於好奇,點了。

Dessert Buffet Table 上取的甜品. 有些 Brownie, Macaron 同 Profiterole. 中午的 Antipasti 不錯的,著重品質多過數目.

*********************
全部菜式不能在這盡錄但有些是很出色的,但也有些如 Amberjack 魚還可以更加好食. 比較起以前, 確是有了進步. 如能把些少 Minor Detail 做得更好 離滿分也不遠. 要看全文食評同所有的相片, 請留意一下已出的另文.

六月中旬(暴雨)

請生日的友人食飯,之前先問了她想吃甚麼,她說意大利菜,尤其是risotto.尋尋覓覓,最後去了位於雲咸街的w52,貪它有risotto的set lunch,加上antipasti和dessert的buffet非常吸引,於是訂了枱,在那裡吃個happy birthday lunch!

我先到,被receiptionist領到要坐電梯到的二樓.再由友善的waiter招呼,並遞上設計簡潔的set lunch menu.

等友人的同時在四周望了望-剛好坐在靠窗的一枱,外面望著hotel lkf,坐在餐廳內一邊揭著雜誌,一邊看正lunch hour的中環上班族在街上趕著吃飯,也是頗悠閒的.不過,面前的白色枱布居然有很深的縐痕,礙眼極了.

等了一會,友人也到了-先點了想要的pasta,侍應就送上bread basket.內有三款麵包:乾脆的breadstick,圓型的蕃茄味小麵飽,和好像是herb bread的…?三者中個人最喜愛有點蕃茄味道的,比較香口.有香草的也好,但太乾了,好像是已經放了幾天的感覺.

麵包與橄欖油,黑醋是絕配,這裡的味道很不錯,只可惜麵包太乾,否則拿來點這個吃,一流!後面的蕃茄醬也不錯,但相比之下失色了!

antipasti是buffet形式的,種類非常多,有沙律凍肉芝士grilled vegetables etc,令人眼花撩亂!而侍應在我們面對種類繁多的antipasti時,非常主動又詳細地為我們介紹每一種的名字和材料,服務值得一贊!

大部分的味道都很好,也就不逐一詳細介紹了,只談比較深印象的. parma ham和蜜瓜質素幾好,不會太咸和乾;這裡有很好吃但冷門的cous cous,微微帶酸的很開胃;沙律有清甜的beetroot salad,也有好吃的salmon and potato salad;肉類有薄切牛舌片伴pine nuts和tomato compote,肉味是意想不到的濃郁;也有異常美味的意大利式蕃茄醬煮牛肚,非常好吃,伴麵包吃一流! 芝士選擇不多,也說不出是甚麼種類,但有一種半軟的帶奶酥味是我最愛….光是吃頭盤已經飽得不行!


吃完頭盤,侍應確認我們不再吃頭盤後,就送上我們分享吃的主菜 – 點了友人想吃的Risotto和Orecchiette,因為penne不太吸引.本來還很擔心吃得太多頭盤會吃不下主菜,幸好份量都不大,很好!

Orecchiette con broccoli e Parma – Orecchiette就是俗稱的’貓耳朵’粉,煙軔又有麥味,加上青綠色的醬(pesto?),輕輕的味道很清新;也有西蘭花和咸香的parma ham,令這本來已不太漏的orechiette更加感覺健康.

Risotto con cozze e zucchini – 一連串意大利文的菜名,除了risotto和zucchini外還真令人摸不著頭腦,幸好有英文解釋,不至於完全不知放了甚麼在裡面! cozze就是青口,這裡除了有放在飯面的兩隻(味道普通,和risotto沒甚麼關係,很out of the place的感覺),也有點與飯一起煮,為它添加了一朕海鮮的甜味.很多risotto都因為用了濃湯和芝士煮會極漏,幸好這個不會,反而飯偏濕但粒粒外軟內硬(al dante?),加上混合了小青瓜和蕃茄等蔬菜,煮得很入味但輕怡,吃一大碟也不會有罪咎感,就算是女士也能獨自完成!

慢慢地吃完主菜,就到最期待的甜品環節了 – dessert buffet總是令人興奮! 但出到去,甜品的選擇雖然多,但因為在室溫放置了太久,很多都溶到一半..


例如tiramisu的芝士已經溶得七七八八,賣相恐怖,雖然這依然阻不了我…tiramisu的味道真的很不錯,mascarpone夠濃滑,也有吸滿了咖啡的ladyfinger,不過當然如果用的是咖啡酒會更好!


也有深黑色的hazelnut chocolate mousse cake,但底部的脆米因為溶掉的關係所以黏在碟上,mousse也是軟軟溶溶的,要夾也很考功夫!不過味道卻是非常濃郁的榛子味,mousse也其實是幼滑的,友人說太濃味了,但對我這’重口味’的無甜不歡胃卻是剛剛好!被放至半溶了真的很可惜!


還有類似crepe和custard的混合甜點,其實也好吃,但放暖了又呈半溶狀,真的不敢吃太多…如果它凍點,我可是一定會吃更多的!


用小盤盛載的panna cotta很幼滑,雲尼拿味濃;周邊添加了熱情菓汁,甜甜酸酸的平衡了主角的甜膩.但又是同樣問題,在室內放了太夠,溶掉了不實在,凍吃會好很多…


也有其實是Crème brûlée,不真正嘗到還真的不知,因為上面的香橙脆焦糖層早已溶化掉,變成上面的液體~底下的燉蛋還可以的,但沒有了脆糖層,再吃下去也沒趣了..


最好吃的反而是不起眼的香蕉迷你批,pie crust有少許過濕但不失酥香,香蕉餡味道濃郁但不過甜,上面還有少許果仁的味道和芝士忌廉,很好吃,但真的要忍痛不去吃批底,否則就會飽到爆炸了…;mad;

吃完以上及另一特別準備的甜品(生日喎…還可以是甚麼
)之後,大家也都是200%飽,也應該要走了,但外面還在下傾盆大雨,所以也就點了兩杯熱茶來解解滯,把茶談天直到差不多三時半,侍應也沒趕我們,真好!


在這裡吃午餐雖然不便宜,但食物質素真的好,環境又舒適,如果不是上班一族要趕在個多小時內完成午餐的話,間中來這裡吃個有質素又叫人非常滿足的semi-buffet set lunch,也是不錯的選擇.

寫著寫著,我也開始懷念W52的壯觀antipasti spread了…

老實講,吾係每個人都會走。因為:1. 餐廳位置都算偏遠,走的話要行番落去老蘭,好煩;2.又吾係食吾起,走人好似好核突;3. 最重要係如果我ORDER 左支水就大件事喇,一定走吾到。而呢樣正正係個侍應最EAGER做的事情。

我覺得食物好壞要靠實力,做餐廳(特別是呢類形中環有一千幾百間)要較口啤。咁樣欺騙消費者上吊,只會被人唱衰佢,吾係經營生意之道!

之前Twangoo做半價coupon優惠,見好多食家都對這裡評價不錯,便買來一試。HK$108便吃到自助頭盤、主菜與自助甜品,且款式不含糊,用料精緻,甜品尤為出色,就算沒有半價的優惠也值得一試。餐包徒有麵粉香氣卻一點也不熱,配一種很粘稠的醬泥,有點豆子、大蒜與香草混合的味道,很詭異…Antipasti十分豐盛,有風乾火腿配哈密瓜,還有脂香滿溢的莎樂美腸,蔬菜部分有烤青瓜、蕃茄乾、青紅椒、蕃茄配mozzarella芝士以及好幾款蔬菜/海鮮沙律,如果每樣都吃一點,清掉主菜都有點困難了。 來到主菜環節,TC的牛肉直通粉肉味香濃,牛肉呈熟腍絲狀,味道已滲透於penne中。penne火候剛剛好,帶點咬口又不會半生不熟,融入肉味之餘也帶點青蔥的辛香。我則要了南瓜湯/ Zuppa di zucca,以為湯會不那麼飽肚,沒想到其無比濃稠,比一般的肉食更飽人。湯的質感雖稠卻柔滑,南瓜就像『化』在湯裡,幾乎連南瓜蓉都找不到。湯中似乎也有一絲芝士的香味,不知是否是錯覺?但石榴粒的搭配真的很巧妙,令兩種截然不同的甜融合在一起,或香甜溫暖,或酸甜清爽。除了餐包,開胃菜與主菜都算滿意,當然最精彩還要屬甜品環節~C

Creme brulee焦糖表面薄脆香甜,內裡custard柔滑而富有蛋香,容器很深份量頗大; Chocolate mousse是甜度相對較高的濃朱古力,尤其是深色的朱古力醬,表層的脆皮也豐富的口感、淡化了甜度。

咖啡慕斯蛋糕:除了表面有一顆新鮮紅莓,主體則是咖啡慕斯蛋糕,咖啡慕斯甘香幼滑,淺淺的甜中微微帶一點苦感,不容易膩掉,不過內裡的海綿蛋糕卻有點佔肚子,即使是一件切餅也嫌有點多

Tiramisu的mascarpone芝士不算很濃,應該也混合了少許忌廉增加幼滑度與奶香;內裡的手指餅濕潤浸滿了咖啡酒,每一口都甜苦交融,咖啡香四溢,配合柔滑的芝士與苦澀的朱古力粉,好吃到忍不住吃了三分一個長條…(還好當日人客不多,人家也不怎麼碰甜品的…)不然我太囧了…

或許因為吞下太多塊蛋糕,而且每一款也夠份量,忌廉、芝士下料都十分大方,實在很容易吃膩,可恨是甜品味道又太好令人不肯罷口。人在中環,這裡絕對是一個好吃也不貴的選擇,尤其是愛吃甜的話。

隔不多時,幾個女人就來聚一聚。因為地點關係,每次都選址港島區。這是選來友人推薦的意大利餐W52。早前見此餐廳的烹飪課樣子出色,自然抱幾分期望。頭盤先點三味﹕炸Artichok,Veel Carppaccio, Tortellini (Mini Version)。三月時候,Artichok正是時候。這味炸Artichok炸得剛剛好,開脆內軟。底下的是青豆醬。牆沒有打得很滑,帶有豆殼,反倒令味道更為傳神、突出。另一道欣賞的前菜是eal Carppaccio。其實這道小牛肉本身味道淡得可以,但勝在夠滑,一入口即感到其幼嫩。第一次嚐到生牛肉配吞拿魚。一陸一海卻合拍得絲絲入扣。期望肉味的人不太適合,但愛魚之士必選。第三頭盤小雲吞不是很出色的一道。皮厚,幸好蛋香搭夠。中間燉豬肉餡也不錯。我想不做雲吞,但做一道菜可能會比較出色。主菜方面,友人參考過Openrice的食評,一開始就鎖定Risotto。再經店員介紹,加了一鍋龍蝦Penne。粉本身很滑,蕃茄味濃,唯吃不到龍蝦之鮮味。很愛醬汁跑進粉中心的感覺。Risotto說是creamy risotto,但沒有膩膩的感覺。飯煮得不錯,有口感之餘沒有太硬,

近日發芝士瘟,點了cheese platter,但芝士明顯存放不當,全乾了。
cheese本身質素也不到位,完全吃不到芝士味。
而且店員對此也不太熟識,配芝士的配料跟這個cheese platter全然不搭。

第99篇食評,就選我和CM的團年飯吧~ 雖然老套,但希望長長久久~年三十晚,我沒年可團,CM家亦已提早團年,便相約共進晚餐。沒誰比他更適合於這天陪我吧~ 偏愛西餐的我當晚選了這家意大利餐廳。店分三層,地面是酒吧,最高層是fine dining的地方,搭電梯便可到達。除卻我倆,場內亦又兩、三對情侶,誰說團年一定要食中菜的?場內燈光柔和,每張枱都點有臘燭,枱之間分隔足夠,不會有侷促感,很有情調,讓人放鬆下來~事前做足功課,知道其black cod不錯,好快我倆便選定主菜。餐牌菜式選擇不多,對antipasti沒甚興趣,便直接跳到第一道菜好了,我心思思想食pasta,當然不少得我至愛的risotto,是以各要了half portion的pasta和risotto。點菜後麵包籃隨即送到,附上矮瓜醬,矮瓜本身味道不濃,製成醬通常會加入洋蔥、pepper、蒜蓉等,這裡的矮瓜醬亦加了pepper和洋蔥,故有些微辛辣味,如果再濃一點會更討我歡心。麵包是室溫的,其實食意大利菜,麵包熱與否,視否你當晚菜式的選擇。芝麻脆條夠脆,但不夠咸香,偏淡;法包外脆內軟,用來塗矮瓜醬就最好;香草麵包香草味不足;車打芝士

露筍亦新鮮爽甜,意粉略為硬了一點點,很入味,不會醬汁和意粉互不相干般,整體是令人滿意的。

牛肝菌海蛰蝦尾risotto,我在港試過的意大利餐廳其實不多,仍在尋覓心目中最佳的risotto,這晚總算讓我找到。飯身軟硬度拿捏得好,有咬口但非未煮熟的生米,牛肝菌口感柔滑,其濃郁香味融進飯中,忌廉汁creamy充滿奶油香又不膩口,保持了飯的濕潤。暫時而言,這risotto是我於hk食過最好的了~ 早知道要full portion好了 > <

第二道主菜更精彩,我倆要了Black Cod 和Snapper。前者不少食家都推介,的確極為美味。Cod新鮮甜美,以慢火焗的,是以肉質嫩滑無比,魚下底的洋蔥煮得軟腍,吸收了魚的鮮味,加上以Balsamic vinegar作基調的汁,不比主角遜色。

由於主菜太好食,幾乎填滿我的胃納,我這甜魔亦要讓步,只點了拿破崙餅和CM分享。
賣相都蠻別緻,只是有點無從入手,唯恐弄塌它。面層的榛子忌廉幼滑動人,帶點奶香,拿破崙餅好香脆,每口都聽到它在口腔破碎的聲,中間亦夾著層榛子忌廉,脆餅配以香甜的忌廉,十分美味,碟旁的柚子汁更起了提味的作用,令整道甜品更清新可口。
附上的自製espresso雪糕,咖啡味濃郁,又夠creamy,如果可以單買就好了,可以經常讓我滿足下口福之慾~ XP
唯一要彈的是拿破崙餅層數不夠多,空間太多影響口感,仍是最愛Tony Wong的出品~

甜蜜又令人滿意的一餐,讓我忘卻團年飯的傳統意義,謝謝你的細心~ 如果這裡的餐牌常換就好了,食物水準出色,但選擇不多,待它換餐牌,我一定會再訪。

For a lunch date with M, we decided to hit up w52 to make use of the twangoo deal i bought. I have to say, I didn't have high expectations for this place but my view has changed since! For lunch, they have a set menu with an antipasti buffet ($175), and you have the option to add a pasta ($195) or meat/seafood course ($255). Upon ordering, first to arrive was a.... bread basketvery generous selection, I particularly enjoyed the grissini and the (sun-dried?) tomato-flavoured rolls (orange ones).

bread basket
very generous selection, I particularly enjoyed the grissini and the (sun-dried?) tomato-flavoured rolls (orange ones). The balsamic and olive oil that were poured for us were also great...the thick and luscious sweet vinegar - i loved!

dip
this came with the bread basket, and we noticed that each table received different dips. I suspect this was their take on a baba ganoush, but the eggplant was hardly seasoned the whole dip was almost tasteless....

plate of antipasti
this was my first plate from the antipasti buffet, which included some seared tuna, grilled eggplant and squash, sauteed wild mushrooms, salad greens and a cucumber salad that was pre-dressed. Surprisingly, all the items were good, taste and quality wise. I happily polished a second plate of goodies from the buffet.

"Hand-made taglierini with cauliflower ragout, anchovies and pecorino"
This dish tasted incredibly light and healthy, not really what I'd like if I were ordering pasta but this was M's choice. Home-made pasta does not necessarily mean it is better than dried varieties, and I actually don't see anything wrong with using dried pastas, unless its a filled-pasta like ravioli. Having said that, I equally don't mind hand-made varieties so long as they retain a bite to them, or is 'al dente'. W52's did not disappoint in this matter, and I would happily return to try out their other pasta selections....
This particular dish was studded with cauliflower and the anchovies and pecorino were too subtle, which resulted in the above-mentioned too-light-a-flavour.

"Roast stuffed turkey with almonds and pomegranate"
This was a turkey roulade served with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. It was only two days till Christmas so I'm guessing this was put on the menu in light of the holidays. I love turkey and for some unknown reason this protein is harder to find in Hong Kong than, say in the US, so I went for it.
This roll of turkey was half-white and half-dark meat, and rolled together with the roasted skin as the wrap. On top were some pomegranate seeds which didn't make much sense for me though I didn't mind them as a bit of textural difference. The meat was seasoned, so it was very flavourful and most importantly, moist. Now only if the skin was crispy....
The cranberry was studded with whole cranberries, and was very sour/tart which was quite nice together with the turkey if you like that sort of combination.

From clockwise, starting with top left corner: tiramisu, pear tart, profiterole, choux, blueberry cheesecake, two raspberry mille-feuilles, chocolate tort, bread pudding and a creme brulee in the centre.
All desserts are laid out next to the anti pasti buffet table, and the spread looked appetizing enough, so M and I decided we'd try out most of the choices - I think we had everything except for a strawberry panna cotta and fruits?
Anyway, most of their desserts were surprisingly acceptable. I particularly liked the tiramisu, choux pastry and bread pudding. The chocolate torte was hardly chocolatey enough and was quite dry... Others, like the creme brulee and profiteroles were enjoyable enough.

Our lovely meal ended with a cup of coffee for me, which wasn't bad. W52 serves pretty good antipasti for a lunch buffet style, and upon a recent re-visit to Bistecca (which had deteriorated a lot in quality and disappointing to say the least) I can definitely say I'd much rather come back here.

I was treated to lunch today at W52 by the restaurant, who extended the invitation to me so that I could sample some new dishes by Chef Francesco. This was a totally new experience for me, and I've never accepted an invitation from a restaurant for a free meal in a blogger's capacity.

I started with a selection of antipasti, including some nice cold cuts and 36-month Parmigiano-Reggiano that was just so delicious.

Cuori di carciofo ripieni alle erbe e pecorino - these artichoke hearts stuffed with Pecorino were pretty nice. On its own I could have found the artichoke a little too bland.

Insalata tiepida di polpo e gamberi / Cannellini cipolle ed ed olive verdi - I am normally not a fan of octopus - nor of white beans - but this was done pretty well. The consistency of the octopus was just right.

Zuppa di zucca/mozzarella di bufala Campana, mandorle e melograno - pumpkin soup in winter is de rigueur, although the combination with Mozzarella and pomegranate seeds was unexpected.

Risotto ai funghi porcini/code di scampi dorate - the risotto was really delicious, if perhaps slightly more al dente than I had expected. The interplay between the savory flavors and the acidity was really interesting. Eating langoustines is always tricky, as I find many of them to be less than perfectly fresh - including the one I had at this very restaurant last year. The one I had in front of me was left a little raw so the texture was nice, and I was starting to feel happy about this when I was interrupted in my thoughts by the distinct taste of ammonia. Now there are times - for me very few at that - when the right amount of ammonia taste in the particular food item can be enjoyable. This isn't one of them. Langoustines aren't meant to taste of ammonia...

Capretto stufato alle erbe/ cavolo nero toscano/ castagne croccanti - I love goat so this was a natural choice for me. It was done very well, with the meat being moist and tender... and of course the layer of fat on the rack was just delicious. Cavolo nero is a wonderful veggie, and I honestly haven't had it since I was first introduced to it at Michael Mina two years ago. Chestnuts remind us of the season we're in.

This was a lot of food, and we've already asked the kitchen to cut down a little. I do have to say that overall the food was excellent, and a clear improvement from last year. I must give thanks to Chef Francesco for the treat, and of course Celine for her wonderful company.

起初的感覺不錯,有專人帶領客人乘電梯往二樓餐廳,介紹餐廳設計特色,很有禮貌。我們點了兩客頭同盤,分別是Shrimp & Octopus Salad 及 Scallops甚麼的..........?,頭者蝦無蝦味不過都算新鮮,八爪魚ok,但果客不記得叫甚麼的帶子頭盤真過份 - 竟然得一粒咁多,份量少得可憐,仲係無外層微焦內裡剛熟的功力,加上sauce 又無味,一句講哂 - 差勁! Main course方面有 Linguine with vongole 點知太鹹,食了一半就放棄,但侍應收碟時竟然沒問一句是否食物質素有問題。 至於Grilled Black Cod fish 很滑、有魚味 sauce亦很有層次很美味,但另一鯛魚則稍腥,勉強入口。Dessert 選了 millefoglie al Marsala ed Amaretti ,cream很滑,餅底亦很脆,份量很大,兩人的話叫一份已十分足夠。結帳時才知道礦泉水要$60 一樽 ( 約500ml ),相當貴。我們一行三人,這晚餐埋單近$1700元。平均每人約$570,以呢個價錢附近有唔少選擇,加上侍應態度麻麻( 未致於好黑面

我們一行三人,這晚餐埋單近$1700元。平均每人約$570,以呢個價錢附近有唔少選擇,加上侍應態度麻麻( 未致於好黑面 )、樓底矮、枱之間沒多少空間,就算未坐滿都覺得很嘈,令自己說話時亦會就住就住,很拘束。

相信我不會再光顧。
