上个暑假到了许多地方吃喝玩乐,多得赶不及写文!其中一个我很喜欢的地方是合和中心的旋转餐厅。之前也在Passion一篇提到我的母校就在湾仔,所以念书时曾经试过在中午时份跑到旋转餐厅吃饭(学校的午饭时段偶而会因应老师们的特别会议而延长)。不过,旧时的旋转餐厅主打自助餐,后期更沦落成内地旅行团的廉价食堂!幸好上年初西班牙餐厅View 62进驻这个美美的旋转场馆,于是我们又重回旧地,试试新餐馆。I’ve been to quite a lot of restaurants last summer before work started. It will take me ages to write about each and every lovely place I’ve visited but I’m trying to share with you some of my favs. As I mentioned in my post on Passion, my alma mater is in Wanchai so I enjoy exploring in this district
I’ve been to quite a lot of restaurants last summer before work started. It will take me ages to write about each and every lovely place I’ve visited but I’m trying to share with you some of my favs. As I mentioned in my post on Passion, my alma mater is in Wanchai so I enjoy exploring in this district. One of my favourite new places is VIEW 62 by Paco Roncero at Hopewell Centre. 62/F of Hopeful Centre used to be a cheap buffet restaurant when I was in high school but it looks as posh as a hotel lounge after renovation. Just love the panoramic view alongside the slowly revolving floor platform.
听闻餐厅主厨是西班牙名厨,擅长食物科学,我知道的不及妹妹多,只是我在暑假到访时感觉它的食物质素的确不赖!
I have been told that the executive chef of this Spanish restaurant is famous for molecular food science. I don’t know as much as my sis does about molecular gastronomy (etc etc) but the food I had at View 62 last summer was pretty awesome! 先来头盘~ 大家都点了龙虾汤(因为我们都不喜欢俄罗斯沙拉),有浓郁的鲜味汤内有龙虾肉,确是真材实料。配上热腾腾的面包很美味!
We all had Lobster Suquet with its own Carpaccio as appetizer. Their Russian salad with mayo foam didn’t appeal to us as much as their seafood! The soup was rich and full of fresh lobster meat. Yums with the hot bread! 接下来是小食炸鱼球。到现在还记得那味儿好像葡式马介休~毕竟西班牙和葡萄牙是邻居啦XD 小点偏咸,不过炸功不错(我最讨厌不会做炸物的餐厅糟蹋食物),炸鱼球不会很腻,整体感觉蛮好的。
Then we had cod buns as Tapas. The fried cod buns tasted like Portugese Bacalhau (yeah I know the Portuguese and the Spaniards are neighbours). Slightly on the salty side but the crispy crust made it up. Overall, a good Tapas. 大家点了不同的主菜,多试菜式。首先有龙趸配花枝面伴墨鱼汁。鱼块鲜香弹牙,面条质感亦是非常有趣,烟韧富鱼香,配上浓郁的墨鱼汁是鲜上加鲜的美味组合!
We ordered different mains. First came this Grouper with Cuttlefish Noodles in Squid Sauce. The springy fish meat and cuttlefish noodles had an interesting texture. I loved that taste of freshness in this seafood dish. 另外的主菜是烧汁猪柳伴南瓜蓉。本人非常喜欢这个菜。猪柳是咸的,入口后丝丝甜香便渗透出来,清甜的南瓜蓉和幼嫩的猪柳肉配搭相宜,整碟菜也很好吃啊!
Then came this Iberico Secreto Teriyaki with Pumpkin Puree. I love this main dish the most. The sweet aroma of pumpkin matched well with the lightly grilled and slightly sweetened pork meat. 再来嫩牛肉配杂菌薯蓉,同样是出色的主菜。牛肉是上好的嫩肉,配上香浓菇汁和薯蓉,是很淳厚的味道。虽不是新奇的菜式,却有那种perfect match的味道。
Finally, the Beef Tenderloin with Portabello Mushroom and Potato Puree. I always believe that the quality of the meat is decisive in dishes like this. We were not disappointed. The beef was tender, juicy and went well with the mushroom sauce. It wasn’t the most innovative dish but it was one of those unbeatable bonds in culinary history... you know… beef and mushrooms living together happily ever after… 甜品是菠萝配乳酪泡沫。其貌不扬的它其实是蛮好吃的,最重要的是用料新鲜,虽然简单,但对于我这些喜欢尝鲜的人来说是不错的甜点。
Pineapple with yoghurt foam was served as dessert. It didn’t look too impressive but the taste was beyond my expectation. It was so refreshing for the taste buds. Simply but nice. Quite liked it personally. 咖啡倒不太好喝,大家可以考虑点些别的饮料。
The coffee was also beyond my expectation in another way. Not impressive at all. I would suggest ordering other drinks instead. 吃罢午饭,待应生跟我们聊了一会,告知我们西班牙主厨只在本港逗留顷刻,餐厅以后会由驻港的 厨师主理~感觉我们还满幸运的,可以在名厨在港的时候试试菜色!不知道下次再的时候食物是不是一样美味呢? ;)
Had a chat with the waiter after lunch and reckoned that the Spanish chef would only stay in Hong Kong for a while. The business at View 62 would be run by other chefs who station in Hong Kong. We were quite fortunate to be able to try out View 62 before the famous chef left for Europe! I wonder if the food would still be as good when we visit next time! ;)

Take the lift on the 17/F entrance of Hopewell Centre to get to the restaurant.
