如果你跟人说很喜欢吃汉堡饱，听起来似乎是很没品味的调儿。但若你知道，刚替我们杀了拉登的美国首位黑人总统奥巴马，也是汉堡的超级粉丝，是否多了点勇气去承认你对汉堡的钟情？我有时也会挂念起汉堡来，而且这种咽著口水的挂念，非常视乎你吃过多用心制作的汉堡 - 制作越认真，挂念便越深。If you tell people you love hamburgers, it may seem you are not someone with classy taste. However, if you know that the first colored President of United States of America, Mr. Obama, who recently killed Laden for us, is as well a huge fan of burgers, you may suddenly gain some gut to admit your affection for the bun.

如果你跟人说很喜欢吃汉堡饱，听起来似乎是很没品味的调儿。但若你知道，刚替我们杀了拉登的美国首位黑人总统奥巴马，也是汉堡的超级粉丝，是否多了点勇气去承认你对汉堡的钟情？我有时也会挂念起汉堡来，而且这种咽著口水的挂念，非常视乎你吃过多用心制作的汉堡 - 制作越认真，挂念便越深。If you tell people you love hamburgers, it may seem you are not someone with classy taste. However, if you know that the first colored President of United States of America, Mr. Obama, who recently killed Laden for us, is as well a huge fan of burgers, you may suddenly gain some gut to admit your affection for the bun. I miss hamburgers sometimes, and these drooling kind of thoughts really depend how seriously a chef has done a burger for you – the better it does, the deeper the love.
在多年被麦当奴投以先入为主的味道后，我尝过吃完要黏手指的汉堡，包括越南Hard Rock Cafe的安格斯牛肉芝士汉堡、澳门渔人码头一间已结业美式餐厅一份叫 「It Takes Two」的双层牛肉芝士汉堡，以及澳门威尼斯人McSorley’s Ale House 的烟肉芝士牛肉汉堡。
After having so many years of McDonald’s burgers, the other buns which ever made me lick my fingers are Ho Chi Minh City Hard Rock Cafe’s Angus Beef Cheese Burger; a double cheese burger named “It Takes Two” I had in a closed American Diner at Macau Fisherman’s Wharf; and the Bacon Cheese Burger at McSorley’s Ale House of Macau Venetian.
那天我与友人乘的士前往威尼斯人的穿梭巴士停泊处，内进经演唱会售票处行走，不消五分钟，便见到Zaia纪念品店，及在蓝蛙餐厅旁的McSorley’s Ale House。
My friend and I decided to ride on a taxi that day to arrive at the Venetian’s shuttle bus stop entrance. We walked five minutes to see Zaia Souvenir Shop, and McSorley’s Ale House was just at the opposite, with Blue Frog right next to it.
餐牌上样样吸引，我们心猿意马，看著牌子良久，最后决定要烟肉芝士牛肉汉堡、忌廉蘑菇烟肉意粉。我喜见酒牌上有一整列的Single Malts可以选择，选了一杯没喝过的Oban 14年，友人则要了一杯一品脱的 Ginger Ale。All items on the menu look attractive, only until some while that our indecisive minds order Bacon Cheese Burger and Linguine Carbonara. While my company ordered a pint of Ginger Ale, I was thrilled to see a list of Single Malts on the wine menu, so chose the Oban 14 years which I had never tried before.
友善的侍者先端上Oban 14年威士忌及一杯冰水。我将酒杯递高对著白色背景，色泽金如深秋，摇两下，挂杯留痕，喝下去是我喜欢的较活泼富果味；用叉子取两滴水加进去，再尝，就如墨化开了，墨路内容更为明显，有梨味，蜜糖甜，却不失酒劲，刺激著嘴唇。友人说她的Gingle Ale 味道也不错。The friendly waitress got me a glass of ice water to go with the Oban 14 years whiskey. I raise the wine glass to any white background and find its color clear, golden like autumn. By swirling the glass, the whiskey is full-bodied leaving long tears to the sides. Take a sip, it’s fruity and lively. Using a fork to dip in two drops of water, every element of the content immediately being magnified and easier to distinguish. Flavor of pear, honey-like sweetness, but never loss its strength of spirit to irritate my sensitive lips. My friend also loved her Ginger Ale.
两个主菜差不多同一时间上桌，虽然我与友人打算分享食物，但也看得出厨子一贯的安排，是不会令其中一个看著另一个吃，非常值得嘉许。The two main dishes arrived almost the same time which is an excellent practice to avoid either customer staying idle while the other friend is enjoying the meal. Though we planned to share food, I still find this act deserve a compliment.
忌廉蘑菇烟肉意粉，插著一支McSorley’s小旗帜，好看得很。配著两条蒜蓉包，而非一条，细心。我俩口里嚼意粉，互相点头说著好味道。蘑菇选货优质，香浓且没生涩味，与烟肉及混合鸡蛋煮成的白汁互相融合，加上巴马干芝士片，稠度刚合挂在面条上，每一口都浓郁野味。There’s a cute little flag of McSorley’s standing on the Linguine Carbonara. Handsome. Two garlic breads, and not one, on the side. Attentive. We two busy having the linguine, turned to nod our heads at each other appreciating the good taste. The mushroom is of good quality, holding strong aroma and well cooked, with its taste mixed thoroughly with the bacon and white sauce with eggs. The flavorful Parmesan Cheese created further thickness that the sauce lingered on every strip of spaghetti making each mouthful full of taste of richness.
要看主角烟肉芝士牛肉汉堡制作认真度，就先要看配角薯条的表现。薯条厚切，炸得金黄而外脆内软，没看到一丁点的黑油渣，证明不是用千年油炸成，按时换油虽令成本上升，但成果就是诱人上品。薯条温热香气迫著而来，我与友人都忍不住用手掏食，沾不沾茄汁也一样好吃！To determine how much effort the chef had put into our main dish Bacon Cheese Burger, we must look at the French Fries on the side. Golden big chunks, crunchy on the outside while soft and starchy inside. Cannot even find a single dot of black oil residue on them, proving frequent replacement of deep-frying oil, which increased cost but brought to us extremely tempting dish. The warmth and flavorous smell of the French Fries just invited us to take them with our fingers, and they tasted as good with or without the Ketchup!
另不可不提的是，酸瓜！每次去美式餐厅，令我引颈以待的，是他们必会跟著汉堡提供的，一条不太酸而清爽开胃的腌青瓜！咬下清脆爽口，吃得光光，永不会成为剩菜。Another supporting actress we must not forget to mention is the Pickled Cucumber! Everytime I’ve decided to visit an American Diner, this not-too-sour yet appetizing pickled is something I looked forward to as I ordered the burger. Very crunchy and would never become a piece of left-over green.
汉堡呢？不在话下！烟肉煎得松脆，味不太咸。牛肉早柯打要八成熟，外焦内嫩，多汁，与汉堡的最佳朋友芝士走在一起，无敌的组合，把这两只蝗虫喂得饱饱。How about the Hamburger? Absolutely perfect! Pan-fried bacon is crisp and not too salty. The beef was ordered to be medium well, so it came with Millard effect on the surface but juicy at the center. Beef and Cheese are good friends and when they come together, they are invincible! Fed these two locusts so full!
还有两条跟意粉的蒜饱，原只想吃一口试试味道，怎料好味得在不知不觉间干掉了。
We still got two garlic breads untouched, intended just to take a bite, but the unexpected good taste drew us to finish all.
店子的顾客多为洋人，因入口不经赌场，也有本地人带著孩子来吃汉堡。环境清静没烟味，可舒服倾谈，浑然忘记身在赌场里。装修细致，摆放著许多美国生活物件作装饰，播放著欧美流行曲，美式气氛悠闲却强烈，我看打磨得发亮的黑白地砖，听著友人说她挂念起她在美国的男朋友了。Customers of McSorley’s are mostly foreigners. However, as we can reach the restaurant without passing through the casino, we can also see local parents bringing their kids to have hamburgers. Quiet and free from cigarettes smell, McSorley’s is a comfortable place for chatting which you will eventually forget you are actually inside a casino. The delicate décor, decorations from American’s everyday life, the English pop music, the American atmosphere is simply relaxing but outstanding. I was placing my eyes on the shiny black and white floor tiles, while listening to my friend saying she already missed her boyfriend in USA.
