上個暑假到了許多地方吃喝玩樂，多得趕不及寫文！其中一個我很喜歡的地方是合和中心的旋轉餐廳。之前也在Passion一篇提到我的母校就在灣仔，所以唸書時曾經試過在中午時份跑到旋轉餐廳吃飯（學校的午飯時段偶而會因應老師們的特別會議而延長）。不過，舊時的旋轉餐廳主打自助餐，後期更淪落成內地旅行團的廉價食堂！幸好上年初西班牙餐廳View 62進駐這個美美的旋轉場館，於是我們又重回舊地，試試新餐館。I’ve been to quite a lot of restaurants last summer before work started. It will take me ages to write about each and every lovely place I’ve visited but I’m trying to share with you some of my favs. As I mentioned in my post on Passion, my alma mater is in Wanchai so I enjoy exploring in this district
I’ve been to quite a lot of restaurants last summer before work started. It will take me ages to write about each and every lovely place I’ve visited but I’m trying to share with you some of my favs. As I mentioned in my post on Passion, my alma mater is in Wanchai so I enjoy exploring in this district. One of my favourite new places is VIEW 62 by Paco Roncero at Hopewell Centre. 62/F of Hopeful Centre used to be a cheap buffet restaurant when I was in high school but it looks as posh as a hotel lounge after renovation. Just love the panoramic view alongside the slowly revolving floor platform.
聽聞餐廳主廚是西班牙名廚，擅長食物科學，我知道的不及妹妹多，只是我在暑假到訪時感覺它的食物質素的確不賴！
I have been told that the executive chef of this Spanish restaurant is famous for molecular food science. I don’t know as much as my sis does about molecular gastronomy (etc etc) but the food I had at View 62 last summer was pretty awesome!
先來頭盤～ 大家都點了龍蝦湯（因為我們都不喜歡俄羅斯沙拉），有濃郁的鮮味湯內有龍蝦肉，確是真材實料。配上熱騰騰的麵包很美味！We all had Lobster Suquet with its own Carpaccio as appetizer. Their Russian salad with mayo foam didn’t appeal to us as much as their seafood! The soup was rich and full of fresh lobster meat. Yums with the hot bread!
接下來是小食炸魚球。到現在還記得那味兒好像葡式馬介休～畢竟西班牙和葡萄牙是鄰居啦XD 小點偏鹹，不過炸功不錯（我最討厭不會做炸物的餐廳糟蹋食物），炸魚球不會很膩，整體感覺蠻好的。Then we had cod buns as Tapas. The fried cod buns tasted like Portugese Bacalhau (yeah I know the Portuguese and the Spaniards are neighbours). Slightly on the salty side but the crispy crust made it up. Overall, a good Tapas.
大家點了不同的主菜，多試菜式。首先有龍躉配花枝麵伴墨魚汁。魚塊鮮香彈牙，麵條質感亦是非常有趣，煙韌富魚香，配上濃郁的墨魚汁是鮮上加鮮的美味組合！We ordered different mains. First came this Grouper with Cuttlefish Noodles in Squid Sauce. The springy fish meat and cuttlefish noodles had an interesting texture. I loved that taste of freshness in this seafood dish.
另外的主菜是燒汁豬柳伴南瓜蓉。本人非常喜歡這個菜。豬柳是鹹的，入口後絲絲甜香便滲透出來，清甜的南瓜蓉和幼嫩的豬柳肉配搭相宜，整碟菜也很好吃啊！Then came this Iberico Secreto Teriyaki with Pumpkin Puree. I love this main dish the most. The sweet aroma of pumpkin matched well with the lightly grilled and slightly sweetened pork meat.
再來嫩牛肉配雜菌薯蓉，同樣是出色的主菜。牛肉是上好的嫩肉，配上香濃菇汁和薯蓉，是很淳厚的味道。雖不是新奇的菜式，卻有那種perfect match的味道。Finally, the Beef Tenderloin with Portabello Mushroom and Potato Puree. I always believe that the quality of the meat is decisive in dishes like this. We were not disappointed. The beef was tender, juicy and went well with the mushroom sauce. It wasn’t the most innovative dish but it was one of those unbeatable bonds in culinary history... you know… beef and mushrooms living together happily ever after…
甜品是菠蘿配乳酪泡沫。其貌不揚的它其實是蠻好吃的，最重要的是用料新鮮，雖然簡單，但對於我這些喜歡嚐鮮的人來說是不錯的甜點。Pineapple with yoghurt foam was served as dessert. It didn’t look too impressive but the taste was beyond my expectation. It was so refreshing for the taste buds. Simply but nice. Quite liked it personally.
咖啡倒不太好喝，大家可以考慮點些別的飲料。The coffee was also beyond my expectation in another way. Not impressive at all. I would suggest ordering other drinks instead.
吃罷午飯，待應生跟我們聊了一會，告知我們西班牙主廚只在本港逗留頃刻，餐廳以後會由駐港的廚師主理～感覺我們還滿幸運的，可以在名廚在港的時候試試菜色！不知道下次再的時候食物是不是一樣美味呢？ ;)Had a chat with the waiter after lunch and reckoned that the Spanish chef would only stay in Hong Kong for a while. The business at View 62 would be run by other chefs who station in Hong Kong. We were quite fortunate to be able to try out View 62 before the famous chef left for Europe! I wonder if the food would still be as good when we visit next time! ;)
Other Info. :
Take the lift on the 17/F entrance of Hopewell Centre to get to the restaurant.
