Got invited my lovely sister for a birthday dinner, we both wanted to find a quiet place for a secret girls' talk yet with excellent food, so she has chosen this cuisine which we had a few pleasant lunch experiences in the past.生日将至, 亲爱的妹妹相约我来一顿庆生晚餐。因为想找一家又能静静地谈心又能享受高质素食物的地方, 想起之前曾在这家艺廊餐厅吃过质素很高的午餐, 所以在这特别的日子又来到这里庆祝~The good thing about this cafe is that it's partially an art gallery and partially a cafe, once you step into the cafe, you will be surrounded by various art pieces, this help relaxin
生日将至, 亲爱的妹妹相约我来一顿庆生晚餐。因为想找一家又能静静地谈心又能享受高质素食物的地方, 想起之前曾在这家艺廊餐厅吃过质素很高的午餐, 所以在这特别的日子又来到这里庆祝~
The good thing about this cafe is that it's partially an art gallery and partially a cafe, once you step into the cafe, you will be surrounded by various art pieces, this help relaxing ones mind from the busy everyday life.
很喜欢这家餐厅的一点是它既是艺廊也是餐厅, 每次踏进餐厅就会被不同的艺术作品包围, 它能使我从繁忙的生活中逃离出来, 得到喘息。
Cafe's Foie Gras special 香煎鹅肝 The foie gras was really juicy and yet it was not oily at all. Credits should definitely go to the apple slice with caramel + orange skin with honey. The slightly sour apple coated with burnt caramel as well as the orange skin dipped with honey created a perfect balance with the foie gras. This is for sure one of the most recommended dishes for the night!
鹅肝很香嫩多汁却又不会有油腻感~ 伴碟的焦糖苹果片和橙皮蜜糖绝对应记一功! 烤焦了的焦糖包裹著微酸的苹果片、带甘的香橙皮和甜甜的蜜糖与略带咸味的鹅肝形成绝佳的平衡感, 为这道菜提供了一种很新鲜有趣的味道! 这绝对是最值得推介的菜式之一~
Salad: Crab meat avocado / Tuna 沙律: 蟹肉牛油果 / 吞拿鱼 Knowing that I'm sharing the dishes with my sister, the waitress smartly placed the dishes in an angle, creating an interesting and artistic presentation of the two dishes, good job! Crab meat was rich and tasty while the creamy avocado provided an interesting texture for the salad. As for tuna, it was tender without any tendon, very fresh!
由于是二人共享各道菜式, 服务员刻意把两道沙律斜放于桌上, 呈现出有趣的摆放效果, 值得一赞! 蟹肉的味道非常浓郁, 配上入口即溶的牛油果, 制造出有趣又特别的口感! 至于吞拿鱼则是非常柔软新鲜, 并且一点筋也没有, 很出色!
Entrée: Black truffle risotto / White wine with clam 前菜: 黑松露意大利饭 / 白酒煮蚬 Black truffle's taste was strong. The risotto was quite creamy yet it was not too heavy! As for the clams, they were big! Most of them were as big as the risotto spoon! The sauce was a bit too rich and without any white wine taste. A personal recommendation is to include a slice or two of bread to go with the dish. People can then enjoy the sauce as well
意大利饭有香浓的黑松露味道, 而且虽然有浓郁的奶油味, 却并不会觉得很腻。至于蚬, 每一只蚬的尺寸也很大, 差不多有饭匙的大小! 唯一的缺点是那汁略咸, 也没有白酒的味道。如果方圆能提供一两片面包伴碟, 那客人们就能以面包沾白酒汁来享用这道菜~
Soup: Mushroom cream soup 汤: 野菌忌廉汤 Rich and creamy mushroom soup, bread were hot and crispy! I was told that the bread were heated when they were about to serve the soup to ensure freshness of the bread, what a committment towards fresh and good food! Balsamic vinegar was definitely the highlight! SR Gallerry Cafe got a secret recipe for their homemade vinegar. It's much thicker and sweeter than the one we usually have. I love it so much that I'll ask for their vinegar to go with the bread everytime I have lunch here!
野菌非常浓郁及奶油~ 因为方圆很著重面包的新鲜度, 所以每次都是要呈上汤时才即时弄热面包, 因此面面不单热, 表面也还是脆的! 不过要说最精彩的却是方圆秘制的陈年葡萄醋! 它比一般市面上的陈醋要浓稠些, 甜度也更高一点。我每次到方圆用餐也会要求这醋的! 绝对要试!
Main course: Lamb rack / Lobster bavette 主菜: 香草烤羊架 / 龙虾扁面 The lamb rack was medium raw, again, very juicy. It was already very delicious even without any meat or mint sauce. The lamb didn't have any "mutton" smell as many of the similar dishes do. Also, the mint sauce was homemade! Personally, I will prefer a stronger mint flavour than the existing one, but still a very nice sauce. The portion was huge too! Talking about the portion, the lobster bavette was surprisingly big! I was really shocked by the portion of the dish! One whole piece of meaty lobster was used! A perfect dish for men! The bavette was cooked with lobster and tomato sauce, yammy!
烤羊架是半熟的, 非常幼嫩~ 即使不沾随碟附上的肉汁或薄荷汁也都已经非常美味! 这羊架没半点腥味, 非常好吃! 薄荷汁也是自家制的。个人希望它能再薄荷一点, 不过现在的也不错~ 羊架份量也足~ 提到份量, 龙虾扁面的份量真的非常多~ 看到它被端上来的真的吓了一跳! 原只波士顿龙虾??? 而且非常肥美! 方圆真的不吝啬食材呢~ 对男士来说绝对是能饱肚的量! 扁面是用龙虾汁和蕃茄汁煮成的, 好好吃!
Dessert: Panna Cotta / Chocolate Lava Cake 甜品: 奶冻 / 心太软 The panna cotta was rich and not too sweet, good! And if you are chocolate lovers, you must try this Lava Cake! The melted chocolate was not too sweet yet thick and rich! The cake itself got a strong chocolate flavour too and again, not very sweet. I was filled with satisfaction when eating the melted chocolate with the vanilla ice-cream! Of course, the whole dinner was completed with a cup of good coffee!!
奶冻有非常香浓的奶味, 却不会太甜, 非常好! 若阁下是巧克力的爱好者, 就绝不能错过这道心太软! 巧克力酱很浓稠又浓郁同时甜度也适中~ 蛋糕本身也有香浓巧克力味亦不太甜。当我把云尼拿雪糕和巧克力酱混合在一起吃的时候, 全身也都充满幸福感呢~ 当然, 这一顿十分出色的晚餐要以一杯香浓的咖啡作为结束~
When one look at the price, they may think that spending around $600 per head is quite expensive. I used to think the same too. However, when considering the portion and the quality of food, plus the atmosphere the venue provides and the glass of nice wine included (by booking via openrice), the meal worth the money spent. If you want to spend a quality night with someone your treasure, this is certainly a nice option for consideration!
也许看到晚餐需要约$600一位的时候, 你会犹豫这到底值不值。我本来也有这疑问, 但如果考虑到餐厅环境、食物的份量以及质素, 再加上(经开饭订台而送的)餐酒, 这个价值是物有所值的~ 如果有天你想跟重要的人吃一顿高质素的饭, 方圆会是一个不错的选择啊~
