我同友人都不喜歡這個肉骨茶，胡椒味搶掉了所有味道。。這個肉骨茶味道跟以往飲過的都不同。。
I was first drawn to this bowl of chocolate/granola like container on every table. Opened and took a swift, flavourful of spicyness! not the type you gag when you think of eating it, but the feeling of anticipation.
Tri-colour milk tea: more sweet than teh tarik due to the bottom layer of sugar. Its good!
Teh tarik: came in a funky box! Don't mistaken, there is a cup inside.
Veggies to start (9 choy): just boiled and drizzled with some soya sauce.
Curry chicken: kind of spicy, came with whole wheat toast, curry's not bad! good kick.
butterfly bacon noodle: the butterfly bacon did taste like beef! (as warned by waitress to not get fooled)
it game with a huge bulk of garlic clove, which was cooked 200%, poke a chopstick in it and it melts, reminds of of mashed potatoes! its a good texture for those afraid of garlic.. since maybe cooking it to that density runs out its spicyness.
fishballs: the shavings on top were, of course, spicy. nothing too special for the balls, but i liked it the flavour and seasoning.
Bak kut teh: served with white rice. I would prefer the malaysian kind with lots of chinese herbs and look twice as dark as this (singaporean?) one.. the white rice I mixed it in with the chocolate granola on the table and ate it. its sooooo goood! Although I almost ran up to their bar and beg for water. I couldn't really find anything else to test try the chocolate granola with since every dish was so flavour-enhanced.
fried chicken: resembles popcorn chicken or taiwanese "yan zhu gi" (i probably got all my pinyin wrong). this was the only thing not spicy out of wat was ordered (besides the 9 choy). can't go wrong with fried chicken, but you can get fried chicken everywhere.
Dry mix noodle (lo mien): forgot the full name, but the ingredients/mixins were insufficient to satisfy the entire noodle! so the bottom got kind of dry. good flavour though! and this one is on the milder side, I actually added chocolate granola in it to spice it up.
the highlight of the day: curry noodle! its totally different curry to the curry chicken, which was more spicy while this one is more on the sweet side. I think I drank all the soup before finishing the noodle.
Things I will reorder: 9 choy (must fit greens somewhere in the meal), curry noodle, tri-colour milk tea, and maybe one of the soupy noodles that comes with the garlic bundle that tastes like mashed potato (maybe there is something else on the menu with that garlic in it!)
店子真的比較隱蔽, 在書局街盡頭的一條小巷內，店內裝修簡單企理，找了個位置坐下之後，便看看餐牌有什麽午餐可供選擇, 其實選擇不多, 最後當然是點了辣椒板麵午餐。
樹仔葉湯: 原來個午餐係包一碗樹仔葉湯，是一碗清湯有二塊樹仔葉再加了墨魚丸及魚丸各一粒, 飲落帶小小胡椒辣味, 滲入了樹仔葉的甘香味道, 墨魚丸及魚丸也爽口彈牙。
辣椒板麵: 到了主角辣椒板麵上場, 整碗麵表面鋪滿了各種配料包括有半熟蛋、肉碎、炸江魚仔炸蒜粒等等, 食之前要將麵和配料撈埋一齊, 一只半熟蛋入口幾滑，炸得脆脆的江魚仔, 非常香口, 加上辣椒佐料的香辣味，夠惹味, 板麵的麵身爽口。
凍冰糖羅漢果冬瓜龍眼水: 夠凍冰, 是炎炎夏日的消暑佳品, 入口清甜, 清涼可口, 正正可以中和辣椒板麵的辣味。
這店子是一間有心、有誠意的特色小店，店員服務態度親切, 而且整體食物質素中上, 店子環境也算寧靜, 加上辣椒板麵是香港比較小有的特色食物，值得支持。
古月位於錦屏街的「街頭」位置, 屬這條隱蔽街道中僅有的其中一個「當眼位」, 不熟悉該路段的朋友, 只要從昔日人龍名店王記糖水那個彎位走進去, 便會到達該店。
店子名字富中國/日本色彩, 想不到所出售的卻是新加坡菜式; 反而「檸茶」所猜的, 是個帶點玩味的答案, 就是跟店主姓氏有關, 而店子名字則是由一個「胡」字分拆出來, 不知又猜對了沒有?
店內環境跟名字所帶來的印象更沒關係, 卻是店方的隨心自由發揮, 整體形象可愛, 當中更有不少花過心思的細心位, 例如帶立體效果的雀巢和傳聲筒, 是這裡的拍照熱點。
無論環境怎樣, 食品質素才是最重要, 首先來一客 香酥脆皮雞 ($28), 整體質素不俗, 炸得乾身, 調味適中, 只可惜廿八元的價錢換來六小顆雞粒, 性價比因而大減。
湯類方面, 這裡只有魚丸湯、肉丸湯、腐皮湯三款選擇, 每款售價為 $25, 貪心的朋友則可以選擇 參參湯 ($35), 可以一次過滿足你三個願望, 無論魚丸、肉丸、腐皮均不是平日所吃到的行貨, 味道有別於一般店子, 看來是自家製的新鮮貨色, 配上清甜的上湯, 整體感覺稱心。
主食的選擇是 蝴蝶腩骨湯米粉 ($48), 不得不讚這裡的蝴蝶腩, 精髓在於那個鮮甜的汁, 沒有過鹹的弊病, 肉質非常鬆化, 只是情況跟香酥脆皮雞一樣, 一客只有數小片。
是日「檸茶」便隨即要了一碗白飯 ($10), 還是大大碗的, 是個品嚐蝴蝶腩的一個增值位, 也只是靠這碗飯來填飽肚子。
這裡的其中一個主打是肉骨茶, 可是偏重胡椒味的新加坡式肉骨茶並不是「檸茶」的那杯茶, 因此沒有點選, 想不到隨蝴蝶腩來的骨湯米粉, 其湯底就是用上這裡的招牌肉骨茶, 屬另一個划算位。
一如所料, 這裡的肉骨茶偏重胡椒味, 幸好只帶微辣, 屬入門級別, 當然不能跟當地的名店黃亞細那種極重胡椒辣來比較, 整體效果對不嗜辣的朋友來說尚算不錯了。
這裡的另一主打, 是自家品牌的 Teh Tarik, 除了可於店內點選飲用外, 更有零售沖調裝發售, 奈何當天晚上來到, 為免影響睡眠而未有一試, 不過連店內其中一個位置也打造成一個巨型飲品包裝, 實在令人有點期待。
