Last night (i.e. 26th March, 2007) I had dinner with Lucifer in Craftsteak Open Fire Cooking... "Y here?" - i asked myself (after having been here for about 10 times now, twice with Lucy; once with Gloria; once with Mayhem & 6-7 times by myself...)Well, beacuse:reason No.1 - they have nice steak;reason No.2 - I'm "stuck" in SoHo;reason No.3 - they have a "brick house" feeling... (I've always wanted - if one day i could afford - to live in a brick house in a cold country with a fireplace... warm
Last night (i.e. 26th March, 2007) I had dinner with Lucifer in Craftsteak Open Fire Cooking... "Y here?" - i asked myself (after having been here for about 10 times now, twice with Lucy; once with Gloria; once with Mayhem & 6-7 times by myself...)
Well, beacuse:
reason No.1 - they have nice steak;
reason No.2 - I'm "stuck" in SoHo;
reason No.3 - they have a "brick house" feeling... (I've always wanted - if one day i could afford - to live in a brick house in a cold country with a fireplace... warm & sweet...)
reason No.4 - Lucy's paying :-D (sorry to admit, mais c'est vrai~~!!)
SO... I COULD HAVE WHATEVER I WANT WITH NO REGARD TO $$
Thus, we ordered:
- A bottle of red wine (Benchmark Shiraz 2005 for HK$320-)
- San Pellegrino (HK$40-)
- Grilled Ceasar (HK$78-)
- Foie Gras Parfait (HK$98-)
- Side orders: Grilled Asparagus (HK$32-) & Lyonnais Potato (HK$32-)
- Lucy ordered 14oz Australian Bone in Sirloin (HK$198-) **medium**
- I had 9oz Australian Fillet (HK$188-) **medium**
as always, fillet tastes great - not too fatty nor lean & goes well with peppercorn sauce.
i broke my routine of ordering spinach & mushroom for side orders. so, we had asparagus & potatoes... they r not bad, but i guess i would switch back to my "routine" next time... i simply love spinach & mushroom
The Foie Gras is more like Pate instead, with a small veg salad, 3 toasties and jam (i believe it's fig jam?? but not 100% sure...) - this is one of Gloria's favourite dishes - Pate with fig jam & toastie... unfortunately, she wasn't here with us last night...
Grilled Ceasar is great as they did not cut the romaine but just leave them (2 of them) lying side by side with some sauce & grate parmesan... yummy~~!!
Lucy commented that the wine is good. to me, it's young & fruity with bright red color, pleasant to the nose with sweet aroma of berries - good company with steak & poultry... am no expert about wine though...
My favourite is still the 1993 Pauillac (Chateau - Lynch Bages) - I had it on 10th Jan, 2007 & am still keeping the cork as the smell is lovely
So, we spent a total of HK$1,085.00 last night for dinner which is quite reasonable for the quality of food & decor.
