禮賓傅 (已結業)

今日來到中環安蘭街嘅「禮賓傅」，由前禮賓府總廚開設，特首食得嘅出品當然有水準，招牌師傅五味炸子雞皮脆肉嫩，柱侯安格斯牛腩味道濃郁，蟹肉大良炒鮮奶成碟掃清，加上環境舒適，係中環商務、家庭和朋友聚會的不俗地點。食完再行落去昭隆街永樂園買杯奶茶，成件事就perfect哂！ 继续阅读

這是一間很多好評的中菜廳，剛剛朋友生日便即管去試下它的晚餐。餐廳位於蘭桂芳區的商廈中，裝修走類似古舊中國上海風，頗有特色。座位不多加上樓面面積不大，整體感覺有少許擠迫，但可以接受。蝦醬芥蘭，熱騰騰的上桌，香氣十足，芥蘭軟硬度適中，味道側不會太鹹，很惹味的一味菜。(太肚餓唔記得影相)炒桂花翅，細細的一碟，它做到了桂花翅必要的乾身，整體爽口不會油膩，唯調味較輕是美中不足。五味雞，算是必點的菜式吧。雞連同5款醬料一起上桌，派頭十足。醬料分別是抹茶華鹽，檸檬汁，南乳，藍莓醬及洛神醬。雞本身已炸得很脆很內味，也可再按自己喜好沾醬，個人覺得除了檸檬汁不太配合外，其餘均可增加風味。整體質素不錯。禮賓傅炒飯，這個飯炒得很香很入味，夠乾身而且份量算足，好味。炒蟹肉蛋白，也是細細一碟，味道覺得鹹咗少少，但啖啖也是蟹肉加蛋白，點上陳醋去吃是很配合的。甜品杏仁糊，太淡了，像溝了水一樣，而且份量很少，不合格的一個甜點。整體而言，餐廳細細但環境舒適，菜色質素不錯，但叫價有點偏高，而且食罷不會令人有點好想再去的感覺。是期望太大，還是什麼呢? 继续阅读

This restaurant offers authentic Cantonese cuisine, with Master Chung managing the kitchen, leveraging his vast experience working in the former Governor's House serving the local and overseas VIPs of the finest Cantonese dishes. Located in the heart of Central, the restaurant has a nice decor of contemporary design, with comfortable seats. There are also a private room but unfortunately the sound insulation is not sufficient to prevent the loud laughter keeps bombarding us from someone inside. We ordered the Deluxe Tasting Menu, with the first dish being the Steamed Crab Claw with Shaoxing Wine. Before arriving the fragrant smell of the wine already reached us, and the taste was quite phenomenal, with the crab claw of good size, and one can readily tell the crabs are live and not frozen. The savory flavor of the wine is a great match with the sweet and delicate taste of the crabs. A wonderful start for the dinner and setting up with a high expectation for the rest of the meal. The second dish is Pan-fried King Prawn with Premium Soy Sauce. The prawn has a beautiful golden brown color on the shell, pan-fried to a crisp texture but keeping the meat moist and tender. Apart from the soy sauce, there are also shallots and chili added to provide extra dimensions to the taste. Sounds simple, but how to balance well the richer flavors of the sauce not masking the prawn demonstrated the skills of the chef. The third dish is Minced Chicken and Bird's Nest Soup. Bird's nest is more commonly served as a dessert but a savory style is equally, if not more, delicious in my opinion. With the bird's nest absorbing the chicken stock, but offering a bit of bite on the mouthfeel, and with the minced chicken giving additional complement on texture. There are a few flakes of gold added to increase the premium and appeal as well. These three dishes delivered a three strike to my dining experience on the night. The fourth dish is Stir-fried Hokkaido Scallop with Asparagus and Truffle Paste. Again it looks simple, but immediately you can recognize the quality of the scallops being sashimi-grade. The asparagus, bell pepper and celery give an interesting contrast on texture, but personally I think the truffle is a bit too strong on its taste and a bit overpowering the more refined flavors of the other ingredients. But still I like the dish. The fifth dish is Braised 8 Heads South Africa Abalone with Goose Web. The abalone is certainly big in size, but it is a bit rubbery, which I believe is more the issue on the quality of the abalone than the culinary technique. The goose web is on the other hand very good, with the flavors infused well into the web, and braised to perfection. The choi sum is also a good complement. A bit of a disappointment but mainly because we got a high expectation as well. The sixth dish is Poached Mustard Green with Layer Bean Curd. The mustard green has been poached in the supreme stock, with the flavors seeped into the vegetable well, and there are a few wolfberry added to add both color and flavors. The layer bean curd also has absorbed the stock to give the same great taste. A nice dish overall. The seventh dish is Lai Bun Fu Signature Fried Rice, which got abalone, lobster, scallop, Chinese ham and black truffle. The rice is not overly stir-fried to completely dry, maintaining a slightly moist style. The piece of abalone is big but the others are quite finely chopped so I could not readily tell their presence. The taste is good but again I think the use of black truffle needs to be careful as the aroma is too powerful and can easily dominate the whole experience. The last dish is the Daily Sweet Soup, and today it was the Walnut Soup. It is prepared in-house and not coming from ready-made ones, with an appropriate sweetness to more tailored to the current healthy palate of customers. A nice conclusion to a good meal.Apart from the noise, generally the service and ambiance is satisfactory for a high-end Chinese restaurant. The toilet however is a bit unclean and this should be something the restaurant needs to be careful, as it can seriously downgraded the overall experience. With the bill totaling $2620 it is a bit high on price but still considering the premium ingredients they have used it is not unreasonable. 继续阅读

I really enjoyed the dining experience at Lai Bun Fu. The service was great and food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a crispy chicken with five different sauces, which was really tasty. The skin was crispy and warm while the meat was very tender.The wagyu beef brisket was very tender and the turnips were very flavourful as they were soaked in the sauce. Next was scallops wrapped in a taro crust. The crust was super light and crispy. we also ordered a wagyu beef mapo tofu which was one of the best I’ve tasted with super soft tofu.The Hong Kong fried rice is also worth trying. It was very flavourful. 继续阅读
