Gold By Harlan Goldstein (已結業)

蘭桂芳隨了是酒吧夜店的狂歡集中地，其實也有許多高質素餐廳林立，而且離寫字樓區不遠，該便利位置為「中環人」帶來不少美食。今天老虎大壽，而連日來的超時工作辛苦了她，所以我特意挑選過往被評為「十分舒適餐廳 」的 Gold by Harlan Goldstein 為她慶生 餐廳內部設計寬鬆，裝飾絕不浮誇，環境燈光強弱適中，配以輕輕的背景音樂，氣氛舒適得猶如置身於自己家中那沙發上般，能慢慢入睡... 我倆點菜後，服務員隨即送上暖暖的 Focaccia，它是傳統 italian 麵包的一種，包身口感軟棉而香草味也十分讚，加上 pesto/parsley 醬汁，味道更香，為這一餐做好準備。Crudo di Scampi, Heirloom Tomato Tartar and Spanish Anchovy Toast (Tasting Menu, "tm")小龍蝦刺身肉質嫩滑，茄肉他他甜中帶酸，伴龍蝦進食口感新鮮，鳀魚雖然發源地為地中海，但普遍用於東南亞菜式，令菜式帶點 fusion 味，魚香鹹得適中並不過份，脆吐司剛好兩口吃完，口感輕盈，yumz。 Hokkaido Sea Scallop Car

一直聽說Gold by Harlan Goldstein 嘅意大利菜好有水準，友人們都差不多個個讚好，終於搵到時間同食友試吓lunch. 我地早一星期訂枱，估唔到都有位（因為聽講lunch好full, 好難訂到位）。我地去到被安排坐近窗邊，雖然窗外冇咩景睇，但係都開揚嘅。Lunch時段，餐廳提供semi buffet. 頭盤同沙律放喺近門口bar 枱。餐廳唔萛大，其實被我預期中細，雖然叫Gold，裝潢亦以金色為主，不過個場同d餐具都有d舊舊地嘅感覺。我地3人分別叫左3款main course, 一於試多幾款。頭盤同沙律選擇唔少, 仲有我最愛嘅紅菜頭沙律同火箭菜沙律, 海鮮方面, 有凍蝦青口翡翠螺,煙三文魚 cold cut方面有parma ham, 仲有cheese platter, 另外, 佢提供兩款熱食, 好似一款係羊, 一款係蝦。我地每樣都試少少, 食物質素唔錯, 我地更期待主菜。主菜我地揀左slow cooked salmon; lobster pasta; octopus pasta. 三款中只有lobster pasta需要加錢。我揀嘅係slow cooked salmon

標題內所示的這位陳太當然不是別人，所講的確實是過去曾經位高權重的那位高官。大家請勿誤會，以小弟的身份當然未夠班與之同桌吃飯，她只是剛巧碰啱坐在我們兩口子旁邊桌而已....常說Harlan的餐廳 (當然是說由他本人主理的那兩所)內經常會碰到社交名流。現在小弟就有一個親身體驗了....這裡的午市semi-lunch buffet一直甚有口碑，一路也很想試。趁着今天下午是休息日，小友又正在上學，兩口子就有大條道理蛇一蛇，過來"他他條條"食一個午餐....吃時看到Mr. Goldstein全程翹起雙手站在門邊一眼關七在睇場，這便是水準的保證....Appetizer的種類雖不算特別多，但勝在用料十分精美，值得一讚 ---- Parma Ham雖不全屬油豐之作但勝在入口鹹度適中以外有甘香，配合甜到漏糖的切件美國蜜瓜，一鹹一甜可謂深慶得人，小弟一食便是七八片；三款cold cut meat各擅勝場，自己覺得最美味的就當要數到尤如雲石分佈紋理，入口油潤與鹹度兼備的salami；翡翠螺反而沒甚驚喜，咬落雖很爽彈但卻有欠鮮甜；凍蝦的問題亦是如出一徹...再來的兩款三文魚菜式以及beef carpacci

地方寬敞，即使坐滿食客，環境亦不嘈吵，最適合business lunch抵步時時間尚早，員工在試菜，十分專業待應服務態度抵讚，菜單多個選擇均吸引，無從入手，最後待應為我們推介數道菜，絕對「無介紹錯」頭盤是Salad Bar Buffet，除了蔬菜類必然選擇，更有多種鮮味魚生、海螺及小吃，食材達五星級酒店水準，用完頭盤已近半飽Linguine Pasta, Tiger Prawn, Italian Pork Cheek, Cherry Tomatoes, Olives & a touch of Chili最欣賞煙韌的麵條，烹調時間恰恰好，口感一流，味道不濃，滲透地中海鹹淡風味菜料中首選小釭茄，落鑊前稍為乾水，更能併發鮮甜茄味，當然老虎蝦亦是摯愛之一Slow Cook Salmon, Potato & Ham Gratin, Garlic Aioli從不相信肉類菜色能以「入口即溶」來形容，一試三文，服了旁邊的Gratin令人想起住家comfort food，得回家操練Gratin技藝Mocha Mousse Cake, Cointreau Jelly & Coffee IceLemon B

Have been here quite a few times. Although there could be the occasional slip, there is no doubt GOLD by Harlan Goldstein remains one of the better consistent performers in Hong Kong, when it comes to modern Italian food. In fact, as much as I am also a supporter of Chef Bombana at Michelin 3 Starred 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo, I honestly think GOLD is really on the same level in terms of dining, it just really depends on the minor points and the individual criterias..Slow Cooked Italian Octop

上年也曾吃過這裡的 semi-buffet lunch，評價相當高，是日午餐收 $268 / head +10%。Mr. Harlan 依舊十分友善，滿場飛地與食客閒聊。「Bread Basket」先來的麵包籃依舊是 Focaccia、Baguette 及 Grissini，精彩的是那酸中帶甜的番石榴蓉，塗麵包吃是很有開胃的感覺。「A Selection of Gold's Creative Appetizers and Salads from the Buffet」整頓午餐的亮點。任吃的海鮮、沙律、小吃，全堆滿吧枱，令所有食客都心花怒放。朕當中精選了以下兩項：「Parma Ham and Melon」24 個月貨色，稍欠油光卻是鹹香十足 (在晩巿散點是相當之貴啊)；加上侍應不停密密添補火腿，很抵讚。另一項推薦的就是海鮮類，翡翠螺與凍蝦都是新鮮味甜，肉質鮮爽，必吃。其他的頭盤美食，光是每樣吃一點，肚皮就已飽足了一半啦。到了令人期待的主菜項目：「Lobster Spaghetti, Napoli Tomatoes, Roasted Garlic, Basil and Extra Virg

I thought I should cool down for a few days before writing a review of my brunch experience at this restaurant on Christmas Eve. We took our relatives from Canada there as a treat and decided to give this restaurant a try instead of going to our usual brunch places. What a mistake.In short, it was a pathetically terrible experience from the time of booking to the moment we left the restaurant. (1) The FoodThe brunch consisted of a buffet as appetizer, a main chosen from a short menu and a "Chr

上一年差不多時候，相約友人在中環吃個午餐，當時大家的意向，是當時新開不久，在LKF TOWER的"Gold by Harlan Goldstein"。那時候，還未有Set lunch供應，只有散叫，友人午飯時間不多，如果在只有一小時的時間，吃個幾百元的午餐，怎也不化算。今次是受到該集團的公關公司邀請，這個下午，與好幾位香港，新加坡的傳媒人／Blogger，一同安坐在Gold的廂房內，來個小型聚會。還是很多人問，究竟IFC的H one，與The One的那一間，有沒有關係？Harlan G一早將其名賣了別的集團，所以該兩間是沒半點關係，當Tuscany by H結束之後，便集中火力在Gold身上。當然這間Gold，幕後老闆不是他，而是本身經營文具生意，其中一位香港大馬主，喜歡以"按"作為馬名的杜先生。頭盤陣實在吸引，選擇極多，有各式的凍肉，沙律，海鮮，芝士等等。雖然頭盤陣上的風乾火腿，不是餐牌上的那些5J級數，但24個月的級數，味道鹹香，質感軟熟。餐湯我選了Tuscany seafood soup，以魚肉，蜆肉為主要材料，湯身用上蕃茄，與龍蝦殼熬，一入口便感覺到很重的龍蝦香，濃惹香甜。大

難得的中秋節假期，與家人一起到山頂散步看風景，但大家卻不願留在山頂廣場用餐。於是幾經轉折下，經朋友介紹到 Gold by Harlan Goldstein 吃晚餐。該晚可惜Mr. Harlan 不在餐廳。我們大約7時左右到，可能時間尚早，只有1張4人的桌和我們而已。因為已經很肚餓，請他們先給些麵包充饑，但待應說麵包正烤焗中要稍等，等了5分鐘左右，麵包果然新鮮香氣入鼻我們叫了頭盤: 煎鵝肝 - 伴以apple sobert和幼細的蘋果絲，配合剛煎好的鵝肝，冷與熱的味覺挑戰層次不同--好味湯: 雜菜湯 - 由8種不同蔬菜煮成，再加入少少不同類香草帶出味道，好湯: 磨菇cappicco ，非常香滑及creamy，夠厚身，好主菜:燒羊架 --不是我吃 - 家人讚 好好好吃大蜆和低溫煮成的三文魚 -- 如餐牌所形容，三文魚是入口即溶的感覺，大蜆亦新鮮，剛剛熟的程度，兩種不同的鮮味混合在一起，好味和牛做餡的Ravioli 配以磨菇/Truffle source ，不太肯定是那一款，但味道絕對是一流。甜品: Tiramisu -- 絕對需要一試 ; 打破了我一直吃 Tiramisu 的經驗，除了賣相

由 IFC 的「H by Harlan」到 The One 的「Harlan's」到現在 LKF Tower 的「Gold by Harlan Goldstein」，喜歡西菜的朋友一定對 Harlan 先生不會陌生。是日光臨「Gold by Harlan Goldstein」真的餐廳如其名，裝修主要以金、黃兩種顏色為主，所有餐具及餐單都是金色以貫徹主題。裝潢雖不算金碧輝煌，卻設計勝在有氣派。身型如「滔滔」的 Harlan 先生現在專心打理新開業的「Gold」，這日他也親自坐鎮餐廳指揮一切，並且親切友善兼滿埸飛。龍少爺與 Harlan 閒談了一會，知道現在 The One 的「Harlan's」只是虛得其名，與他本人已無關係，所以大家覓食要知地方了。整個午餐收費人均 $248+10%，包頭盤，主菜及甜品，皆精彩非常！"Bread Basket"每枱先送上麵包籃，有Focaccia，Baguette，Grissini 等，都是暖的。特別在附上的麵包醬，用上煮過的番石榴蓉，香草及欖油混製， 酸中帶甜，有創意。"A Selection of Gold's Creative Appetizers

食物: 沙律最好味 – 一般沙律菜外, 有火腿, 煙三文魚, 螺, 青口~~ 主菜:- 三文魚滑, 正! - 迷你漢堡, 牛肉正! 點薯條既黑松露醬正!! - 豬肋骨痳痳 (沒有豬肉味, 應該用水煮熟後再調味)- pizza 真的不用試~ 甜品:Yogurt 小小甜都ok!! 服務: 自助沙律, 收碟快, 服務員禮貌, 而且識講廣東話, 有親切感~ 環境氣氛ok, 不會有太靜英英局促感~~ 價錢相對來說差不多等於食自助餐~ 食物款式亦沒有自助餐多, 但食物質素取勝!!!

Upon walking out of the lift, we found the air to be deliciously scented by the smell of truffles - what a great welcome!The decor is a little garish and bordering on ghastly but we were greeted by friendly staff so never thought twice about it after the initial first impression.The restaurant was heaving and full of diners enjoying their meals accompanied by the chattering of friendly banter amongst satisfied, happy customers. We initially thought the restaurant would be rather quiet and somew

jul 09, 11,5人來dinner,叫咗 : 1) bread basket (免費)-呢個麵包籃真喺好掂,熱不"突"止,仲好有質素,只是個grissini唔正宗,食友話呢個喺港版了-個人喜歡個長條型嗰款,brioche同牛油酥-我們共食了應該有4籃,後來端上枱的仲無得頂,因仲熱d添,咁個牛油香氣同個鬆軟度更+發揮到擋都擋唔住-食友話佢嘅麵包質素比以前有進步,後來chef harlan出嚟問食友嘅意見,原來佢最近將麵包recipe全部改了,gd change-個dip都好得,同之前嘅tuscany by h1樣,食友問chef harlan個醬有d咩,佢好大方,拎埋個recipe比我們睇,有parsley, vinegar, olive oil等,不方便透露人哋個secret recipe出嚟 2) organic beef and burrata (hk$188)-porcini mushroom, salsa, rocket -今次是我第1次食burrata cheese,但個賣相同食之前嘅唔同,呢個就將佢分成了3份,所以感受唔到由自己cut開,裡面流動嘅液態芝士流出嚟-味道

First - if you're coming here, know that the staff at the LKF Hotel will NOT direct you to the restaurant - do not use their listed address. Instead, tell your taxi driver to drop you off at D'Aguilar Street and Lan Kwai Fong Lane or at the Hard Rock Cafe. Gold is an elevator ride from there. My friend took a cab to 33 Wyndham St and no one in the lobby would tell her how to get to Gold. They only made it very clear that there was no access - which is not true. We finally had to meet her on Wynd
