跟朋友慶祝生日,尼左尼間餐廳,有分室外室內,環境很不錯,客人唔多,間中會有人表演,氣氛很好~因為要等朋友關係,我地試左兩款面包,三文魚餡同蘋果餡,兩個都好味道~之後再點左一個薯仔沙律,海鮮湯,椰菜卷焗芝士蘑菇,免治羊肉。薯仔沙律 - 味道一般,不過不失。海鮮湯 - 湯內的三文魚給我無限驚喜!!超鮮超好味!!佢地仲好貼心咁分開左兩小碟比我地。椰菜卷焗芝士蘑菇 - 一尼就聞到好濃烈嘅芝士味,椰菜裡面包住好多蘑菇,食落又無咩芝士味,而且片椰菜好un呀!!免治羊肉 - 又係無限驚喜,一d都唔so,仲好juicy,點埋佢個薄荷醬,嘩!好好味呀!!最後,佢地送上一個火焰雪山蛋糕,即場點火,又唱生日歌,非常完滿!蛋糕幾濃酒味,幾好味,易入口。我地臨走仲去左佢個攝氏2度的酒窖,有大衣提供,作為尼餐飯局嘅結尾!

今日一行六人去咗中環嘅 Balalaika 慶祝媽咪生日,之前訂枱講咗係慶祝生日,餐廳亦好識做地安排咗個驚喜!

Starter: 我地叫咗五種唔同餡嘅包:豬肉(似肉醬意粉嘅肉醬)、火腿芝士(好味,溶咗嘅芝士質感好似流沙)、磨菇、玉桂蘋果同三文魚(我無試呢三隻,不過聽講都幾得)。

湯:叫咗牛尾羅宋湯、羊肉湯(無酥味!)同南瓜湯,餐廳幫我地一開二之餘仲好有心咁用原裝碗裝,唔係求其俾隻碗你,nice touch!

Main Course:
-Sausage Platter:餐廳是日推介,有起碼四款唔同嘅腸、好脆嘅薯仔同菜絲。Portion 幾好,每個人每樣都試到;
-紅椒汁牛柳配飯:因為有個小朋友所以揀咗個飯,味道一般;
-牛肉串燒:Balalaika 名菜,哥仔特登提我地要唔要影相,好細心;之後係熟練嘅點火,勁!最好嘅係:我地叫七成熟,燒完之後完全唔韌,啱啱好!
-羊肉粒飯配羊肉同羊肋骨(正名唔記得...):極力推介,飯入面 D 肉同個飯好夾,D 羊肋骨唔韌,好好味,下次去絕對會再叫!

環境:好好,因為係星期日所以成間餐廳得我地一枱,唔嘈,音樂亦唔大聲

服務:招呼我地個哥仔同姐仔都好好禮貌,亦都好幫忙,當大家好雀躍要去冰房嘅時候哥仔逐件褸遞俾我地;屋企人唔行得樓梯,佢提議兜路去搭貨梯,最難得嘅係,走嘅時候佢竟然記得,仲主動問駛唔駛搭返嗰部貨梯走添!!值得一讚,希望平日同多人嘅時間都會 keep 到啦。

驚喜:食完主菜後有問阿哥仔係咪送 baked Alaska,人地一早準備晒啦。之後佢地播生日歌同推個甜品出嚟,成個氣氛都好好。最估唔到嘅係:佢送咗個俄羅斯公仔俾媽咪,仲好有禮貌咁講生日快樂添!連我同我個妹都估唔到,媽咪就梗係好開心啦!

總結:整個 dining experience 都好好,好有驚喜,希望今次唔係一個獨立事件,而係間餐廳真係好有心去做啦...

特別加許:今日 serve 我地張枱兼教我地點讀個餐廳名嘅哥仔!!

昨天又是小弟牛一,我選擇了去中環蘭桂芳酒店內的「Balalaika」俄羅斯餐廳吃飯。由於中午和家人去飲茶時已經吃得很飽,全日又沒有甚麼體力努動,所以去到餐廳時真的不覺得餓。(太太也是一樣。)來之前已經搜查了知道本店最有名的是串燒(Shashlik)。因此我們便決定了要羊架串燒。另外想試試地道一點的羅宋湯,所以要了一客。太太再選了鴨肉班戟。羅宋湯我們兩人只喝一客,餐廳也為我們分好了才上桌,真有心。羅宋湯內好像下了些芝士,絕對比一般的金寶湯好喝很多。之後就上了串燒羊架。其實有點奇怪,因為我們以為會先上鴨肉班戟。無論如何,串燒上桌時,真的會拿來我們桌旁,用真火燒一次,又會高叫Shashlik及拍手。其實吃起上來跟普通燒羊架差不多,也是配芥辣或者薄荷醬。我覺得跟我們在夏天於北歐坐船時吃的不相伯仲。吃完燒羊架才吃鴨肉班戟,可惜已經冷了。味道仍然是不錯的,只是如果熱一些會更好。然後我們再點了一個拿破崙蛋糕做甜品。同時餐廳也送上了慶祝我生日的Baked Alaska。樂隊也專意過來唱生日歌。Baked Alaska其實只是冰淇淋加忌廉,吃起來不是很特別。反而太太說拿破崙蛋糕很好吃。埋單不過460元,

昨天又是小弟牛一,我選擇了去中環蘭桂芳酒店內的「Balalaika」俄羅斯餐廳吃飯。

由於中午和家人去飲茶時已經吃得很飽,全日又沒有甚麼體力努動,所以去到餐廳時真的不覺得餓。(太太也是一樣。)

來之前已經搜查了知道本店最有名的是串燒(Shashlik)。因此我們便決定了要羊架串燒。另外想試試地道一點的羅宋湯,所以要了一客。太太再選了鴨肉班戟。

羅宋湯我們兩人只喝一客,餐廳也為我們分好了才上桌,真有心。羅宋湯內好像下了些芝士,絕對比一般的金寶湯好喝很多。

之後就上了串燒羊架。其實有點奇怪,因為我們以為會先上鴨肉班戟。無論如何,串燒上桌時,真的會拿來我們桌旁,用真火燒一次,又會高叫Shashlik及拍手。

其實吃起上來跟普通燒羊架差不多,也是配芥辣或者薄荷醬。我覺得跟我們在夏天於北歐坐船時吃的不相伯仲。

吃完燒羊架才吃鴨肉班戟,可惜已經冷了。味道仍然是不錯的,只是如果熱一些會更好。
然後我們再點了一個拿破崙蛋糕做甜品。同時餐廳也送上了慶祝我生日的Baked Alaska。樂隊也專意過來唱生日歌。Baked Alaska其實只是冰淇淋加忌廉,吃起來不是很特別。反而太太說拿破崙蛋糕很好吃。

埋單不過460元,我們二人只吃了一個主菜,當然比吃兩個便宜得多。

Went here for lunch with my friend.

I went for the $108 - fish as main course with all-you-can-eat salad, there was dessert and coffee/tea.

The fish was very special, it was in fact coiled in rolls with bacon covering it. The potato side was also very nice with some onions. Crispy, but didn't feel like I've had too many carbs.

Then the dessert was fab - green tea mousse. Small, but good enough with strong green tea taste. I simply went for lemon water (warm).

Service was very efficient, and the waiters were very attentive. The all-you-can-eat salad was very good with a wide variety of salad - say waldorf apple salad and potato salad, etc.

Anyway, it was very good for value - $108 plus service charge. I would definitely go there again for lunch.
Good fish set!

9月11日, 呀比嘅生日大餐, 唸咗好耐應該帶佢去邊… 千挑萬選, 最後揀咗呢間位於soho, 不論環境氣氛都甚有特色嘅balalaika俄國餐廳! *V*::: 豬肉餡包 ::: $10大概只有半個手掌咁大~ 微嫩, 外面硬硬的… 入面嘅豬肉餡都唔少, 都係免治豬肉, 調味特別. 麵包都幾軟熟. 不過細個咗d, 唔係好抵食!::: 椰菜卷焗芝士蘑菇 ::: $130好大份! 好多芝士鋪面! 椰菜略老, 頭尾有dd焦, 但煮得夠淋甜. 裡面包著嘅蘑菇十分足料~ 香嫩鮮甜! 椰菜加蘑菇加芝士味道極配~ 好好味!!::: 俄羅斯特式羊架串燒 ::: $210成個生日大餐嘅重頭戲~! 可自選一款醬汁, 侍應推介下我地揀咗black plum sauce. 佢地拎d串燒埋黎時, 會敲響噹噹等所有人都知道佢地準備做野! 好喇~ 跟住就係放火嘅時候!! 侍應都好識做地幫我地合照~ 只見佢地先淋上酒, 再點一下火, 嘩! 紅紅大火立即點起!! 不過只係燒咗一陣, 應該揮發晒d酒精就熄火喇… 不過可能因為d火太猛, 羊架局部有d焦乾… 可幸是羊架本身調味不多, 點d sauce更能夠帶出濃濃羊味~ 不

9月11日, 呀比嘅生日大餐, 唸咗好耐應該帶佢去邊… 千挑萬選, 最後揀咗呢間位於soho, 不論環境氣氛都甚有特色嘅balalaika俄國餐廳! *V*

::: 豬肉餡包 ::: $10
大概只有半個手掌咁大~ 微嫩, 外面硬硬的… 入面嘅豬肉餡都唔少, 都係免治豬肉, 調味特別. 麵包都幾軟熟. 不過細個咗d, 唔係好抵食!

::: 椰菜卷焗芝士蘑菇 ::: $130
好大份! 好多芝士鋪面! 椰菜略老, 頭尾有dd焦, 但煮得夠淋甜. 裡面包著嘅蘑菇十分足料~ 香嫩鮮甜! 椰菜加蘑菇加芝士味道極配~ 好好味!!

::: 俄羅斯特式羊架串燒 ::: $210
成個生日大餐嘅重頭戲~! 可自選一款醬汁, 侍應推介下我地揀咗black plum sauce. 佢地拎d串燒埋黎時, 會敲響噹噹等所有人都知道佢地準備做野! 好喇~ 跟住就係放火嘅時候!! 侍應都好識做地幫我地合照~ 只見佢地先淋上酒, 再點一下火, 嘩! 紅紅大火立即點起!! 不過只係燒咗一陣, 應該揮發晒d酒精就熄火喇… 不過可能因為d火太猛, 羊架局部有d焦乾… 可幸是羊架本身調味不多, 點d sauce更能夠帶出濃濃羊味~ 不得不提, d燒配菜夠鮮甜, 反而比羊架更出色!

::: 豬肉腸伴酸椰菜及燒薯仔 ::: $65
豬肉腸長長兩條, 但食味一般. 感覺上其實同平時buffet可以食到嘅sausage platter差唔多, 無乜特別, 亦唔抵食. 不過薯仔好食!

::: 雪糕蛋糕 ::: $100
為咗呀比大人特登訂製嘅雪糕蛋糕, 只有一磅size. 訂位時可以順便預訂. 亦可以寫上壽星名字. 雪糕味道無得揀的, 好似係榛子杏仁味. 外表簡簡單單的以忌廉同士多啤梨裝飾, 用栗茸寫字. 蛋糕邊圍上烤過嘅杏仁, 又香脆又有咬口, 配埋雪糕食一流!

::: 火焰雪山生日蛋糕 ::: 送嘅
呢個係本身生日會送嘅蛋糕~ 都係有放火嘅環節! 其實係蛋白包雪糕,淋上酒再點火. 外面層蛋白好重酒精味… 麻麻地. 入面嘅雲呢拿雪糕就唔錯~ heehee, 梗係唔夠我特登訂嘅咁好味啦!

今次呢個生日大餐, 食物真係頗有俄國特色 不過味道就唔係話好特別. 要讚嘅係呢道一流嘅環境, 木造裝修好有風味. 而且服務好好~ 上串燒, 生日蛋糕時佢地都大鑼大鼓, 仲有兩位駐場歌手為我嘅壽星大人唱生日歌, 連聲祝賀~ 氣氛真係滿分!

之前男友做好功課,話想食串燒.....所以今晚叫左兩款俄式串燒+牛尾羅宋湯
1.拔蘭地香料羊架串燒....有三中件羊架,配薯仔同菜,羊架味道啱啱好,要左5成熟都恰到好處...薯仔好好食,因為連埋皮一齊燒....最正就係即埸係你面前燒....有一陣BBQ既香味

2.香草燒雞伴燒原個蒜頭....份量ok,原隻迷你雞串燒,有啲似迷你燒春雞咁,一開四邊,口感比燒春雞好食得多~肉質嫩滑,而且雞胸都唔會"鞋"呀!味道唔太濃,伴埋佢比既燒汁就啱啱好~
3.牛尾羅宋湯.....一碗要$60,但都係值得~唔係好大碗,仲有一隻俄羅斯木匙附上,用來飲呢碗湯~很濃郁,還有牛尾,都幾大件呀!
食完後,侍應係廚房攞出一個甜品"火焰雪山"......仲即埸點火,燒左一陣,好靚,仲有幾個侍應圍住我地唱生日歌,其中一個俄羅斯人攞住結他,唱左幾首唔同語言既生日歌.......之後仲用即影即有相機拍照留念~服務氣氛都很好~
火焰雪山好好食~入面d雪糕夠晒凍,出面包住層暖暖地既cream.....事後先知~原來男友訂枱時,因為做緊promo,所以係免費送的~
食物質素同價錢成正比,服務真係讚~好多餐廳都唔會有!

What are the key elements of Russian food? I am not too sure, that was why I paid this famous outlet a visit to give it a try myself. One of the famous gimmick of this restaurant / chain is the vodka cold room where you can enjoy a glass of vodka (or other drinks) inside a huge transparent fridge. Yeah, you are right, based on the way I describe it, I really don't find it all that interesting. Anyhow, I do find it interesting that how come there are so few Russian restaurants in Hong Kong? I know there is one newly opened in TST at the Butterfly on the Prat hotel and there is one in the SOHO area as well. The bottom line is that there are very few.

The transparent vodka room / fridge is situation right at the entrance so you would not be able to missed it. The decor and environment is pretty nice but I doubt it is of authentic Russian decor even with the Matryoshka (nesting doll) on the shelf along the bench seats. The only thing that reminded my of anything Russian was the live band playing at the end of the dining hall. I am not expert in Russian music but it sounded Russian enough to me!

While waiting for my friends, I was going through the drinks menu and wanted to order a so-called Russian drink called Medovuha which consisted honey horseradish and lemon juice. When placing my order, the staff informed and warned me that this drink is not for everyone because it tasted like Chinese Herbal Oil which you apply onto your body joints whenever needed. The staff offered me some for tasting and yes it tasted ... interesting, not exactly what i call a refreshing drink but I actually enjoy the aftertaste for some odd reasons so I ordered it anyhow. (my friend tried a sip afterward and her description was the same as the staff warning, tasted like Chinese Herbal Oil ... HAHA) ... but hey, it was worth trying !!! (be warned though!)

(1) Piroshki (Salmon / Mushroom / Vegetables)
They were freshly made for sure because they were HOT ! The bread was puffy and well prepared but somehow they reminded me of buns sold at Maxim bakery or Maria's. Among the three ingredient choices we ordered, I like the salmon and mushroom the most especially the mushroom because mushroom is known to generate moisture but the diced mushroom inside the bun remained relatively dry. They must be consumed as soon as served to get the best of out them.

(2) Country Sausage with Sauerkraut
I love sausage, any kind in fact. I must try some German restaurants soon! Anyhow, the skin country sausage was very crisp and the meat was lean without much fatty or greasy feel to it. However, while it was rich in flavor without any sauce, it was rather salty. Eating it with the sauerkraut would help a bit definitely. (I thought sauerkraut is of Germany origin? humm ... )

(3) Salmon and Mushroom Vol au Vent with Sour Cream
The main focus on this dish should be the pastry puff under the slices of salmon. IT was very puffy and crisp even with the sauce poured over it. There were no surprises on the salmon but the spinach was pretty good in terms of flavors especially together with he sour cream sauce.

(4) Pelmenis

I should have listened to my friends regarding this dish but I am a pretty stubborn person and without trying it for myself, I would not be satisfied even if it means I am wrong. So dumplings they were for sure. If weren't for the mayo sauce on top, this dish can be disguised Chinese dumplings. The only other significant difference I found was the meat which was rather tough compared with the Chinese style. Either it was incorrectly prepared or it was simply how it was done traditionally. I am not expert in Pelmenis but I will try to find out more. I wonder if Pelmenis have any Chinese origins / influences; maybe it was a traditional dish of the southeastern Russian Empire (or even further back in history) which was close to the boarder (or overlapping boarder) of the Middle Kingdom. Hummm .... southeastern Russian Empire .... northern Middle Kingdom where it is famous for dumplings ... hummm .... I wonder.

(5) Blinis - Duck Meat and Cream Spinach
This traditional Russian pancake dish was a delight in my opinion with the soft and tender duck meat wrapped by the thin pancake layer. The highlight of this dish was the sauce in my opinion. It was the cream spinach sauce that added the extra flavors to the whole dish. A dish worth trying.

(6) US "Kurobuta" Pork Rack & Shashlik
How can one come to this restaurant and not order this item for its presentation? It was a feast for the eyes. The torching touch added a slight grilled taste to the food which was nice. The pork was better than I expected in terms of tenderness because usually when I order pork chops / rack, they are often too dried and too tough to chew. Here they did a pretty good job with it. The seasoning / spices used were just right, job well done in my opinion.

(7) Napoleon
Don't be fooled by menu for its desserts, they were actually not bad at all. Not really of traditional Russian desserts but good enough to end our meal on a happy note. Although the pastry puffs were not as crisp and puffy as expected but still above average. The custard was surprisingly not too sweet at all. Not a traditional style of Napoleon which I like but a fair dessert indeed especially with its presentation.

(8) Apple Strudel
The upper layer of the strudel has been caramelized! A nice touch indeed, resulting in a crispy texture along with soft and warm apples inside. The decorated sauces were a nice touch indeed but a bit too sweet in my opinion.

(9) Apple Crumble

A freshly baked apple crumble, the dish was still very hot. Flavor was very nice, the crumbles on top were crisp and favorable indeed. While the apples were soft but the apple mixture / filling inside was overly sweet. Some cream would be nice as well.

Even after this meal, I am still not sure about the key elements of Russian cuisine, I think I should continue my food quest in search of more Russian cuisines in Hong Kong.

Likes:

* Blinis - Duck Meat and Cream Spinach - Wonderful sauce!
* US "Kurobuta" Pork Rack & Shashlik - great presentation and pork surprisingly tender and juicy as well
* Apple Strudel - caramelized top was a nice touch for taste and texture

Dislikes:


* Pelmenis - Chinese dumplings?
* Country Sausage with Sauerkraut - very lean but a bit too salty
* Apple crumbles - very crunchy oats / crumble topping but apple filling a bit too sweet.

went there 2 times for drinks with friends (dont even know why we went the second time!) at night. the manager guy kept pushing us to order. he kept looking to see if we finished our drinks and cleared our glasses once we were finished. then its like the world would end if we dont order another drink straight away. so we got annoyed and frustrated with such bad service we left.it was ridiculous the second time when he even suggested to my friend that theyd give her a plastic cup to take away her

it was ridiculous the second time when he even suggested to my friend that theyd give her a plastic cup to take away her drink! we werent hogging the table and making people wait! there werent customers anyways! just because we look younger and arent rich people doesnt mean that your service can be so crap! what happened to the 'provide good service' thing andy lau said on tv!

altho i've never tried the food, i swear im not going again because the quality of the service just turns us away. even just the look on his face showed he looked down on us and didnt wanna serve us. who are you? you think youre so important and powerful?

We've never have experience in a restaurant where all the waitress were so nice, with GREAT service!! Some recommended food, some suggested we went to the "Ice-bar" before having soup, all with smiling faces! It made us feel so warm & welcom during the whole friday dinner. The food is worth for money. Veg Soup, beef, desert, all with good quality & quantity(except 'wunton' a bit hard'! Music & songs is great . I will surely go again and try their Sat & Sun buffet.

We found this place interesting, for the gimmick it has put up. A iced room - super cold and freezing, with - 20 temperature. You can do your photos and enjoy a free polaroid photo taken by the staff of the restaurant and a get a free Russian Doll upon your departure. Good attentive services while the foods were also okay, value-for-money choices.
