長假期沒有外出遠遊，反而留港到了一些不常去的地方探險。上趟闖入元朗新界西，今趟便去了港島南區-赤柱。上次到來赤柱，恐怕已是十年前的事。感覺赤柱變細了，有趣的事物好像少了，也許，是心境不再一樣了。隨便逛逛，找個地方喝喝咖啡，看看日落的景色。常日的時間在赤柱hea一個下午倒也很有渡假的感覺。入夜後選擇留在赤柱的Pinot Duck晚膳，之後才出回市區。選擇Pinot Duck，原因之一是因為肯恩有Pinot Duck的Main Course買一送一優惠券(The Entertainer App membership)。當然，Pinot Duck是一間主打鴨類菜式的食肆，其獨特的料理概念亦是吸引肯恩踏足光顧的原因。印象中在香港以吃鴨為招徕的店子不多。除了吃北京填鴨的中菜館之外，較有創意的大抵算是位於尖沙咀海港城的美中.鴨子，不過美中.鴨子也不是主要賣鴨，一些較大路的京滬菜(e.g. 小籠包)也有供應。食店室內面積不大，但擺放的座位亦不多，用餐環境算是舒適。除了室內用餐，食店也有室外用餐的座位，佈局設計較貼近酒吧式西餐廳的經營模式。桌上預先擺放的餐具是筷子。用膳的餐具可以預計食物菜式的設定立場

長假期沒有外出遠遊，反而留港到了一些不常去的地方探險。

上趟闖入元朗新界西，今趟便去了港島南區-赤柱。

上次到來赤柱，恐怕已是十年前的事。感覺赤柱變細了，有趣的事物好像少了，也許，是心境不再一樣了。

隨便逛逛，找個地方喝喝咖啡，看看日落的景色。常日的時間在赤柱hea一個下午倒也很有渡假的感覺。

入夜後選擇留在赤柱的Pinot Duck晚膳，之後才出回市區。

選擇Pinot Duck，原因之一是因為肯恩有Pinot Duck的Main Course買一送一優惠券(The Entertainer App membership)。當然，Pinot Duck是一間主打鴨類菜式的食肆，其獨特的料理概念亦是吸引肯恩踏足光顧的原因。

印象中在香港以吃鴨為招徕的店子不多。除了吃北京填鴨的中菜館之外，較有創意的大抵算是位於尖沙咀海港城的美中.鴨子，不過美中.鴨子也不是主要賣鴨，一些較大路的京滬菜(e.g. 小籠包)也有供應。

食店室內面積不大，但擺放的座位亦不多，用餐環境算是舒適。

除了室內用餐，食店也有室外用餐的座位，佈局設計較貼近酒吧式西餐廳的經營模式。

桌上預先擺放的餐具是筷子。用膳的餐具可以預計食物菜式的設定立場，食店的定位應是以亞洲菜為主。不過使用的竟然是用完既棄的木筷子，食店在環保的考量上似乎還可以做得好點。

食店週一至週五有一個All day set menu供應，頭盤，主菜，甜品連餐飲也只是百多元的價錢，以晚膳來說算是經濟實惠，可惜主菜項目中完全没有鴨料理的菜式出現。

看看主餐牌，鴨料理的菜式佔了八成以上。菜式都是圖文並茂，揉合了東方與西方的煮理方法，有些菜式的食材配搭新穎，不常在一般食店碰見。

除了食物，酒也是食店的主攻項目。食店有供應手工啤酒，部份啤酒冠以中國神話人物為名字，噱頭是為外藉人仕而設。

至於使用The Entertainer 的優惠，食店自定了使用條款，優惠的上限是$98，即是説若果價錢較低的主菜價值大過$98的話，食客需要補回差價。

(還是頭一趟遇到食店在The Entertainer的優惠上自設特別的使用條款，下次在其他食店用膳時可能也應預先跟店方暸解清楚，以免換來不愉快的爭拗。)

Eight Treasure

點了一壺養生八寶茶，可以給二人一同享用。

現今沖調八寶茶使用的材料可謂五花八門，所以在不同地方喝到的八寶茶味道也不盡相同。這裡的八寶茶不是用茶包沖泡，把材料放在茶隔內，有興趣可以自己研究一下這裡的八寶茶用了甚麽材料。

八寶茶加了冰糖，第一泡茶甜度最高。隨着冰糖被溶解掉，第二三泡茶甜度減緩，其他材料的味道便慢慢滲出。每泡茶喝到的味道也不盡相同，滋潤甘香。

Peking Duck Brioche

Peking Duck Brioche

北京填鴨是傳統的菜式，坊間都是伴薄餅同吃。食店加了新點子，在北京填鴨上創作了很多新的吃法，這道北京填鴨法式牛油包便是其一。

外脆內軟的法式牛油包，上面放上菠蘿與北京填鴨塊。牛油的香味豐富了鴨肉本身的羶香，菠蘿的果香又中和了鴨肉與牛油包的油膩感，整件牛油包口感豐富，一口咬下讓鴨汁與菠蘿汁同時在口腔漫遊，帶出傳統菜式以外的嶄新感覺，相當不錯。

Crispy Duck Leg

Crispy Duck Leg

鴨腿應是先以滷水汁慢煮的方法烹製再拿去炸，煮出來的鴨腿外皮香脆，內裡的腿肉軟嫩汁豐，入味非常。

鴨腿伴以香烤鮮橙及粟米薯蓉，份量很足夠飽肚。不過粟米薯蓉的調味稍嫌偏淡，若能加點煮汁進碟內效果應會好一點。

Duck & Fennel Soup Dumplings

Duck & Fennel Soup Dumplings

鴨肉湯餃子，餃子的皮做得夠薄，吃下口感不錯，不過內餡的鴨肉可能份量太少，吃不出明顯的鴨肉香味，做得不錯的反而是那湯底，富濃郁香味，值得多呷幾口。

Creme Brulee

甜品點來了陳皮焦糖燉蛋。沒想到用來盛焦糖燉蛋的碟子比飯碗還大，按份量這道甜品足夠肯恩與Black RX 二人分享。

伴以甜柑與龍珠果，焦糖燉蛋賣相不錯，敲碎面層之際可充份感受焦糖層的焦脆感。燉蛋也富蛋香，不過没有用上正宗的雲呢嗱籽，香味層次略嫌平板。至於菜式提及到的陳皮，原來只是一丁點兒的陳皮梅顆粒灑在燉蛋上，味道不太明顯，變得可有可無，甜品純粹以夠大件取勝。

食店的食物水準不錯，菜式亦很具特色。不過若非本身有意到赤柱遊覽，很難想像一般市區食客會專程為了想嚐鴨而走入赤柱。可以想像食店的主要客源，應是以遊客居多，人氣度少不免會比市區的食店遜色。

No doubt, Peking duck is one of my favourite food on earth. When it comes to the thought of how to consume a whole bird, the opening of Pinot Duck has deliberately turns this Chinese tradition on its head.

Set on the ground floor of Stanley Plaza, Pinot Duck stays true to its name by serving a great selection of Pinot red and whites to pair with small Peking duck-focused dishes in a modern way.

They put peking duck in every shape and form, such as the two favourite classics, peking duck crepe and Chinese steamed duck bao. The former crepe is very thin and texture-wise, wrapped with hoisin sauce, cucumber and duck fat, whereas the bao is phenomenally fluffy and filled with juicy and fatty peking duck.

Moving on is a fresh and light rice paper roll with a delicious combination of mango and duck, served with nouc nam, the Vietnamese fish sauce dip. The brioche toast is also perfect just the way it is topped with peking duck and pinot balsamic reduction, given a pleasant sweetness from the piece of roasted pineapple.

The wok-tossed Angus beef is succulent, flavored with black truffle and sautéed with mushroom, onions and green asparagus. The duck broth cooked risotto is very pleasant and topped with slow poached egg.

The creme brulee is not to be missed because it is probably the best I have had in Hong Kong. The actual pudding is super silky and burst with the flavor of Chinese citrus zest.

For sure this modern fare is definitely worths checking around Stanley, and whenever you have a Peking duck craving, Pinot Duck got you all!

Boyfriend and I realized we hadn't come to Stanley in a long long time. So, on a very hot and sunny Sunday, we made a trip out to the pretty beach to walk around, take photos and participate in the bubble soccer match that the area was doing to promote themselves in something called a Fruit Punch Challenge.

As we were waiting for our turn to play, we decided to stop here for lunch. I read some pretty good reviews of the place and as I love duck, I begged boyfriend to come try it with me. As it was the weekend, the place was busy yet the staff was still attentative enough whenever we needed anything.

The restaurant is pretty with a minimilistic design. It's comfy casual, complete with an open kitchen. Menu is in Chinese and English with nicely photographed photos of the food. They speciliaze in duck that is served in a Western way with an Asian twist. They have an extensive wine list that consists of various kinds of Pinot, thus the other half of the restaurant's name.

However, wine was not something that had boyfriend peak his interest. It was the selection of craft beer from the local brewery, Moonzen Brewery. When he saw that on the menu, he was pretty excited to try it as he said it was not a beer that was widely sold in Hong Kong.

Thunder God Ale ($80). $80 for a bottle of beer is not cheap but this is craft beer we're talking about and not Calsberg. It's also one of the few craft brewerys from Hong Kong. This one from Yuen Long. It was a very light tasting beer with a slight citrus taste. This coming from a person who doesn't like beer, I quite liked this beer as it was fruity in taste and not as bitter as most beers. Boyfriend said it was a lot like the Japanese craft beer, Hitachino Nest, which is one of his favorite craft beers.

Peking Duck Brioche ($88). This was an interesting way to present Asian style in a Western way. They used a very lovely buttery brioche toast and laid roast duck and grilled pineapple on top. This was topped with a red pinot wine balsamic reduction and crispy shallot chips to give it a bit of crunch. The balsamic reduction was sweet, sticky with a touch of tartness reminding me of the sweet and sour sauce packs you get when you order roast duck at the local roast meat places. A very inventive way to mimic that and yet elevate it by making it more western. The duck was moist and flavorful. A pretty good twist from the way we usually eat roast duck.

Peking Duck in Steamed Chinese Buns ($68). Quite possibly the best steamed Chinese buns I've ever had. The steamed Chinese buns is not a new thing but to the Western world, this trend was made popular by David Chang of Momofuku. I've tried a few places in Hong Kong that also do this bao trend but I have not been too impressed as the bao is usually very dry or the filing is not that good. But I always love ordering it when I see it on the menu. This is quite possibly the best steamed bao I've had in Hong Kong. No exaggeration. It was fluffy and not dry. It didin't get hard even when it started to get cold. It was still soft and fluffy. The taste was sweet and not bland like so many places here. The duck was moist and accompanied by a sweet sauce that is usually found in Peking duck and crunchy cucumbers. I left here still remembering this and wishing I lived nearer Stanley so I could have this whenever I got a craving.

A little food porn for all of you. Don't you wish at this moment they would invent 4D internet?

Baked Duck Egg with Hand Pulled Duck ($68). This was something we ordered as we were curious. The semi soft duck egg needed to be mixed together with the duck meat and onions below. It was seasoned with a sweet sha jiang sauce. Mixing it all together, it was sweet and savory. It was very homestyle type of dish. Perhaps it was so homey, I wanted some rice or bread to go with it.

Eight Treasures Duck ($198). And interesting mini version of the usual eight treasures duck that is served at most Chinese restaurants. Instead of a whole duck, they used a duck leg and stuffed it with lotus seed, dried shrimp, chestnut, wild rice, bamboo shoots, shitake mushrooms, pork and dried turnip. Wow. A lot of stuff. The duck leg was laid on top of a few pieces of choy sum and roasted tomatoes. This was a really rich bit of comfort food. The duck meat had absorbed the juices from the filling. The sauce was flavored also with what is used in the filling and was rich and strong. A really nice comforting dish.

Duck and Fennel Soup Dumplings ($98). This is an interesting twist on the classic Chinese soup dumpling. The meat was duck and fennel wrapped in dough that is more popularly used to make ravioli. This was very different and the use of ravioli instead of the usual Chinese dumpling skin was acutually better. It was smoother and held together really well. The filling was something you would find in ravioli. It was really quite a nice east meets west dish. The soup was light and not too strong.

Creme Brulee ($78). We chose to share a creme brulee for dessert. There was a strong taste of Chinese dried citrus zest that made it very interesting. The creme brulee was smooth and creamy. This dish was an interesting use of Asian ingredients into a very typical Western dessert and it worked.

Interesting dishes that took east meets west and really made it work. Some places, when the two cultures fuse, it really seems haphazardly thrown together. But this place? The items work. The flavors flow well. I was impressed. Boyfriend was impressed that the duck didn't taste gamey. Usually, he's not a fan of duck as he finds it too gamey but he said none of the dishes tasted gamey and he wondered why. I think it's due to the fact that this restaurant used the right amount of seasoning and herbs to cut down on the gamey taste that is often found in duck. Really nice place to eat with some pretty good ideas that revolve around the theme of duck. I would return again.
