The News Room Diner (已結業)

十二月十五日 (星期六)平日人頭湧湧的太古坊，來到週末時間，就是連路人也不算多在這一帶的食肆，也由平日的熱鬧變成當前寧靜在這氛圍下，實在適合戀人們調調情，三五知己談談天也是不錯的地方在不少西餐廳裡，我們就選擇了The News RoomThe News Room 是Press Room Group 旗下的其一西餐廳這集團最有名氣地位的，必數剛摘星而回的The Principal其餘的還包括Classified, The Press Room, SML及由在和昌大押舊址改建而成的The Pawn除了The News Room，其他的餐廳都已品嚐過，尤其是Classified，因地點最就腳，更是去了N次是晚，就讓我們完成Press Room Group 之旅的最後一站~六時許來到，從落地玻璃窗望進去，人不多，只有三四枱客不過，環看四周餐廳，更少，這裡已是最熱鬧的地方侍者遞上清水和餐牌，晚市也有套餐提供，而且更是在主餐牌選擇二百多元的套餐，若一模一樣散點的話，也要三百多，實在超值如是者，最簡單，就一人一個晚餐罷前菜，就選了一湯一Carpaccio湯選了最喜歡的周打蜆肉湯，質感十分濃稠，而且魚

We were out visiting the Sunday farmer's market in Quarry Bay (not worth it) and decided to stop here for lunch. Today was a little cold, so we didn't want to sit outside; they led us through the bar area and to an area of the restaurant that was much quieter and more cut off-- and, as one reviewer below mentioned, with an excellent view of the McDonald's across the street.Fish and chips: the menu said this was sustainably farmed cod, and for $180, it had better be. The fish was quite good, and

以前的鰂魚涌是工廠區，現在已變成高級寫字樓林的商業小區；所以，附近一帶也順理成章多了很多小餐廳，很有歐洲大都市小區四周滿佈cafe 的 feel。當然，在這裡食晏的價位也「泊得住」中環，相當富貴。跟中環一樣，每逢星期一至五特別熱鬧，星期六曰便水靜河非，所以選擇星期六晚與家人光顧。The News Room做團購, $268 可享用2人晚餐。侍應奉上menu，發覺原本価錢不便宜，團購価真的很化算。（曾經光顧團購後，發覺有沒有團購価錢都一樣。或團購的質量比較差）。但The News Room沒有將貨就價, 依然是讓你在平日的餐牌中選擇食物, 值得一讚。餐廳近門口處是酒吧區，有自動售酒機，第一次見。至於裡面的甪餐區，地方寬敞闊落，以木製傢具為主。侍應放下以木砧板盛載的麵包，而且咬落滿是麥香，但麵包沒預先翻熱，入口又硬又凍，連牛油也是實心的，比較失望。每個餐都包一款主食，另可於餐湯、頭盤、沙律和甜品中任擇其一。頭盤意式生牛肉薄片的牛肉，肉質非常軟腍，而且牛香味濃郁。配上松露油令牛肉的鮮美更加突出，味道簡直一流。爸爸話可惜分量不多，想食更多！另外，生牛肉伴以火箭菜，松露油和芝士，火箭菜入口雖然略

團購瘋系列 – 其實住處附近的《The News Room》開業已經超過一年，但筆者竟然連一次早餐也沒來吃過。不過近日從網站發現餐廳做團購推廣，原價 $265 的 2-Course Set Dinner 可享買一送一優惠，十分超值，見機不可失，也立即買了下來，決定和老公來品嚐一頓歐陸晚餐。座落於太古坊糖廠街中心位置的《The News Room》，屬 Press Room Group 旗下品牌，原址本來是另一家酒吧式西餐廳《Cafe Einstein》，結業後旋即被這間充滿著英式小屋格調的店子取而代之。據悉餐廳選擇在鰂魚涌開業，並取名 《The News Room》，原來是為了紀念當年在鰂魚涌遍地開花的傳媒。選了一個平日的晚上到訪，原來餐廳分為兩個部分，近門口處是酒吧區，除了設有高腳椅桌及藏量豐富的美酒外，還有操作簡單的自動售酒機，非常適合上班族放工後來這裡聊天聚腳。至於裡面的甪餐區，地方更是寬敞闊落，以一室木製傢具配上啡色及綠色兩款座椅，加上單邊落地大玻璃窗及半腰小矮櫃，令四周環境增添了一份時尚感。如果嫌餐廳內焗促，亦可到門外的露天茶座，吸一口清新空氣。輪到戲肉，來到這晚的二人

The News Room做團購, 2道菜買一送一, 最重要是沒有將貨就價, 依然是讓你在平日的餐牌中選擇食物, 值得一讚; 食物質量則有讚有彈, 要視乎識唔識選擇囉!餐前麵包 - 4小片, 份量少, 不過是免費, 不能要求太多蜆肉周打湯 - 水稀稀, 只有2-3粒蜆肉, 其餘是甘荀粒及西芹粒, 好奇怪的湯, 完全談不上是clam chowder, 金寶湯比它好百倍, 不要浪費quota 叫這湯, 試試其他頭盤或沙律好過意式生牛肉 - 薄薄生牛肉片與馬臣芝士很夾味, 自己再加些即磨黑椒粒, 味道一流牛肩扒 - 有牛肉鮮味, 肉質嫩滑沒有根, well trim無肥糕, 必食之選配菜是一大碗炸薯條, 雖然無薯仔味, 但外表香脆, 內面很粉; 全靠這碗炸薯條才得飽肚, 但只限order牛肩扒才免費跟上

News Room has the usual brunch food options...eggs, waffles, pancakes, plus sandwiches, pastas and more. Bagel with cream cheese & smoked salmon: you can't really go wrong with this, but a little disappointed that the bagel was not too toasted. If its not toasted, then the bagel becomes too difficult to cut / tear-off.Chicken sandwich: tasty, with some avocado and bacon, fries are decent. The only complain is that there should be more chicken!news room bfast: this has got the works..2 eggs a

為期一週的Restaurant Week來到尾聲，按以往做法我都會選擇於週日，到一間風險比較低的餐廳，和家人吃晚飯。上次的FINDS晚餐有點失望亦偏貴，於是是次就選擇了更保險的The News Room，一來未去過，二來心想餐廳屬Pressroom Group ，水準應差不去哪裏。而且晚餐價錢是三百多，比FINDS便宜，加上食物頗吸引，引得我們立即就訂了位。週日的太古坊靜得像死城，連帶周邊的餐廳也靜悄悄，The News Room更是意外地十室九空。餐廳雖有一邊設落地玻璃，但另一邊卻暗得連字也看不到！這和它的老大姐The Press Room，同出一徹． 晚餐號稱有四道菜，先是每人一客的Clam Chowder，再來頭盤，主菜和甜品，都是至少有兩款選擇．很快地點好菜，侍應先放下盛在木板的麵包片，質感偏硬，麥香頗濃，但和甜甜的牛油有點不夾． 說時遲，店員端上Clam Chowder-誒？為甚麼會用espresso...杯....盛湯的？看得我們都傻了眼，誰會想到在餐牌上分為一道菜的湯居然只是兩三口的份量？招來侍應一問，她說這是tasting portion，是廚師不想令客人喝得太飽，所以

熟我的人都知我是英國迷，出外卻不常食English breakfast，因為自家製的才最合心意，而且香港提供真正English breakfast的地方其實不多，每每都是腸和bacon出事，倒不如到進口超市買腸回家準備更好。某週末早晨，家中的存貨耗盡，又正是今年英倫遊前夕，心想食過香港算是較好的英國菜出品，旅程中的體驗更顯得珍貴和快樂，便拉CM到這裡來。之前到過其姊妹店—The Press Room—用晚饍，印象不俗，心想brunch應該穩陣吧~每次想食English breakfast，到頭來總會要了egg benedict，不是English breakfast 的組合不對胃口，就是份量太多，更重要的是這乃CM的all time favourite。既然他點了，我就試試別的嘛~ 況且，poached egg不容易弄得好，我也是生手，只好向外求吧~一客Egg Florentine 索價近百元，實在不菲，食材貴極有限，付的都是工夫錢。論流心，這poached egg真的沒話說，黃澄澄的蛋漿澎湃地湧出，視覺衝擊已教人滿足。等不及拍好照，味覺已催促我趕快品嚐這誘惑。微溫的蛋漿滋潤著底下的m

Sitting outside, enjoying the sun and scenery.Very attentive staff.Nice cold beer.Cos salad with poached egg - cooked exactly as ordered. Nice.Steak sandwich......nice piece of meat and nicely cooked. All good.Overall, a nice lunch in a nice place and somewhere I have been before and will definitely be going again.Nice chips too.....

A little expensive, but you expect quality, so that's fine, choice on menu is good, and staff polite, but what is the problem here?Expectation? Nope, cleanliness, We sat down to enjoy a nice lunch, we ordered, and then got the starter, looked nice, then we received drinks, a coffee for me, and a glass of water, the glass of water contained lipstick marks from a previous customer, we complained got up and left, there is now way we could trust a resteraunt that on the service presents quality, bu

平時午餐都是趕時間匆匆解決，難得和尊敬的長輩約了吃午餐，決定找個環境好點的餐廳，吃飯和聊天。之前已經來過the News Room一次，覺得食物、環境和服務都不錯，所以這次又選了這裡。事先定了臺以防萬一，安排的位置不錯，在裏面比較清靜，和其他臺也有一定距離，雖然桌子比較小，位置也算不上寬敞，但在香港來說已經算不錯，基本不會受到其他人的影響。當然了，也要看鄰桌的人，好彩那天的食客都不錯，沒有大聲講話者。點了當天的set lunch，$165+10%，前菜是soup of the day or salad, main course有三款可選, 最後是dessert of the day。在等長輩的時候，已經serve bread and butter, bread味道Okay,不過是冷的，分量也比較少，2個人3 small slices。BTW, 裝bread的木質託盤好得意！salad味道不錯，菜、雞肉、cheese，麵包碎和sauce分量搭配剛剛好，材料也都很新鮮，好開胃。Main course是Slow roasted leg of lamb, with pumpkin puree,

食飽飯行下行下去左The News Room 飲返杯...本來係去花生吧(去開個頭既朋友一定知)點知無左!Cocktail: The Way It IsBeer: StellaThe Way It Is...超級藥水味.....!!! 好難飲!! 無飲過藥水的人可能會接受到Beer到係咁啦~

Me and a friend went there for dinner to celebrate my friend's birthday since we both love western food.The environment was nice. Not squishy and comfortable. The staffs are really nice. We ordered quite a lot for just the 2 of us.For appetizers, we had fresh oysters, crab cake and the foie gras toast.The fresh oysters....sorry, but I can't remember which type they were, but they tasted great! Very fresh! Loved them.The crab cakes were great! They had a lot of crab meat in it. Unlike many ot

Walked in on a week day lunch with no waiting time at all. Staff were friendly and helpful.Beer came quickly but tasted like many other places in HK - not like it should - kind of 'pipe' taste which is something I am not fond of - maybe it was the first through....More bread was offered after the first was eaten - nice as that isn't usually done unless you ask.Food came quickly and was nicely presented.Burger was really good and really thick and heavy. Bacon was cooked well and the burger was co

8.30pm on a Saturday night and apart from a few people drinking outside we are the only customers.First point of note is the vacuum wine machine allowing you to sample many wines by the glass.We are seated at a large table by the window with a not very inspiring view directly into the 24 hour McDonalds.We share the crab cakes($98) as a starter and very good they were, more crab than filler and fresh taste.Then came the big surprise on the menu, an oxtail and kidney pudding($195). I have never se
