清新的空氣,恬靜的環境,下車後便頓時想起某隻民歌-
John Denver - Country Roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River.
Life is old there,
Older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country roads.
不過穿鄉郊衣服是不可,只因香島廳的服裝要求甚嚴緊。內裡環境不俗,雅致但不摩登,侍應安排至窗旁的大圓桌,食客紛至,午餐時分以太太、女士、網球教練居多,食客進食時仍能保持寧靜。
由於主人家早已預約並預留菜餚,齊人後便酌量多添便成。點心是以每人一蒸籠上桌,內有蝦餃、燒賣、牛肉燒賣、豆苗餃、小籠包各一,每款是精緻美味,還有各式腸粉、中式包點,點心類絕對媲美甚至超越城中某些星級食肆,難怪會方極力推薦;餐前小吃如炸春卷、炸蟹球、鹵水食品同樣出色;燒味拼盤,叉燒、油雞、燒鵝、燻蹄、海蜇等等,叉燒猶甚,燒得香嫩軟身,上的醬汁剛好,難怪最快吃盡;燒鵝、油雞同樣出色,每款也是剛熟,肉身嫩滑。
據聞他們的招牌雞是值得一試,惟是次未能提供,便吃了片皮鴨。鴨肉是鮮嫩熱辣,京蔥、醬料、薄包齊全,美味可口;上桌的鮮菜分別是清炒菜心、薑汁炒芥蘭,芥蘭滲有輕輕的薑味;XO醬明蝦球,雖然是香辣美濃,但我不太喜歡XO醬會掩蓋蝦肉的鮮,還好肉身鮮嫩;洋人大多喜歡咕嚕肉,鮮艷顏色增進食欲,酸甜汁緊緊包圍外層,肉質嫩滑,不俗。還有其後的幾款小菜,同樣美味。
荷葉飯、揚州炒飯、干燒伊麵看似平平無奇。荷葉飯是出色,荷香滲透飯粒,配料、飯粒、調味互相配合得宜;炒飯與配料的比例均勻,飯粒完整,味道適中,看似平凡,但細嚼後更見美味,當然伊麵也不例外。
最後的甜品如鮮磨杏仁露、楊枝甘露,外表吸引,熱杏仁露質感不厚亦不稀薄,清香的杏仁鮮味滲至喉嚨,出色;楊枝甘露沒有嚐過,據說也不錯。最後送上鮮果特大拼盤,西瓜、蜜瓜、哈蜜瓜同樣清理舌頭,為整頓飯畫上句號。由於付款只有記賬,費用不詳。
離去後有種鬱悶,原來是想起另一段歌詞,現實中帶點諷刺,與開首那民歌成對比-
Blur – Country House
Blow, blow me out I am so sad I don't know why (x2)
Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
Yes you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
Ooh la la la
(I wanna be, I wanna be {in the country})
