愛情難得一見鐘情，美食卻會一試難忘！當年畢業後初出茅廬，考入了一家美資證券行當練習生，後來被派到英國受訓一星期，最難忘的卻是留下來的最後兩天，出了倫敦市中心，被熱誠的英藉華人朋友招待，最潮的食肆店子皆往，第一晚被帶到一家如工廠地庫的餐廳，只供應單一食品，就是Belgium mussel 比利時青口，可以選擇番茄丶白酒丶啤酒等不同湯汁煮，飲品亦只有比利時啤酒 Belgium Beer，當時我大看眼界，記憶深刻，美味的青口，一見傾心，至今未忘。回港工作後，不久已經離開金融界，但當年之味捨不得不在港繼續尋，可惜，香港的比利時餐廳實在不多，Frites Belgium 位於太古坊的店多年前已經嚐過，但並無留下特別記憶。近月留意到，她繼續大展拳腳，在我常到的銅鑼灣區多開了一家新店，希雲街我亦常到，就是沒有留意，原來餐廳藏於豪華服務住宅中，早陣子，還是一個地盆，亦好，再度光顧，看看如何？進門可真別人天地，餐廳面積非常之大，長方大廳一覽無遺，而且樓底極高，歐洲式古典天花吊燈，配置木製餐桌及彩繪玻璃窗，據餐廳自我介紹，裝潢仿照1920年代的傳統比利時啤酒屋設計，又真的洋溢著啤酒屋的舒適自生氣氛，別有風

愛情難得一見鐘情，美食卻會一試難忘！當年畢業後初出茅廬，考入了一家美資證券行當練習生，後來被派到英國受訓一星期，最難忘的卻是留下來的最後兩天，出了倫敦市中心，被熱誠的英藉華人朋友招待，最潮的食肆店子皆往，第一晚被帶到一家如工廠地庫的餐廳，只供應單一食品，就是Belgium mussel 比利時青口，可以選擇番茄丶白酒丶啤酒等不同湯汁煮，飲品亦只有比利時啤酒 Belgium Beer，當時我大看眼界，記憶深刻，美味的青口，一見傾心，至今未忘。

回港工作後，不久已經離開金融界，但當年之味捨不得不在港繼續尋，可惜，香港的比利時餐廳實在不多，Frites Belgium 位於太古坊的店多年前已經嚐過，但並無留下特別記憶。

近月留意到，她繼續大展拳腳，在我常到的銅鑼灣區多開了一家新店，希雲街我亦常到，就是沒有留意，原來餐廳藏於豪華服務住宅中，早陣子，還是一個地盆，亦好，再度光顧，看看如何？

進門可真別人天地，餐廳面積非常之大，長方大廳一覽無遺，而且樓底極高，歐洲式古典天花吊燈，配置木製餐桌及彩繪玻璃窗，據餐廳自我介紹，裝潢仿照1920年代的傳統比利時啤酒屋設計，又真的洋溢著啤酒屋的舒適自生氣氛，別有風格。

其一拍照亮點，就是坐在有長度高至兩層樓的半開窗簾下的吧台位喝一杯酒，極有情調！跟我早前在Oldish拍的門前照，同樣有劇照感！

6點9坐下來，依然趕得及 Happy Hour，平日下午3時至7時，非樽裝啤酒丶紅白酒等皆買一送一。

Hoegaarden Rosee Draft (right)

食伴選擇普通的 draft，我選了富 raspberry 味道的 Hoegaarden Rosee Draft，這款近年才出的新款啤酒，果味香濃如cinder，並無啤酒的甘苦味，幼滑易入口，絕對是我及一衆女生的選擇。

一張紙的餐牌，密密麻麻，列在中央最搶眼的自然是青口，藍青口薯條，本就是比利時的國菜，六款烹調方法，傳統款式白酒丶啤酒丶法式丶地中海式及番茄汁煮，亦有 fusion 的喇沙湯頭，半公斤及一公斤的選擇各售$235 及 $385。

服務員熱情推薦，除了青口外，生牛肉丶燒豬手丶漢堡包及比利時薯條皆有特色，二人胃納有限，只好先嚐以下的。

Beef Tartare

以前對食生牛肉有些抗拒，因為有茹毛飲血的原始感，但其實生牛肉被擺設包裝及調味後如一般菜式，毫無嚇人之感。

生牛肉一般會被切成幼粒，混合生雞蛋，Frities 的做法，混以大量洋蔥丶青蔥及香草，調味出色，香嫩幼滑中有爽脆口感，因為濕潤丶柔軟及涼涼，實際吃起來似在吃沙律，只是口感比較充實。

塗在烤至焦脆的多士上吃，對比明顯，口感有變化，醒胃美味。

Mariniere 1kg

由白酒丶西芹丶紅蔥頭丶香草及牛油調製而成的 La Mariniere 是 Frities 最具人氣的品嚐青口吃法，請留意比利時式的白酒，其實是啤酒。

如傳統做法，青囗原煲上，配以炸薯條及兩片麵包。

煲蓋掀開的一剎那，酒氣冒出，接下來是牛油之香，繼而便是青口的海鮮香味。

看來大大只的青口，原來肉只佔少於一半面積，似乎瘦了一點，得知青口在每年九月至十二月期間方最肥美，現在並非時令，因此店子現時亦不在荷蘭取貨，面前的青口來自南半球的澳洲，可惜依然不夠肥美，滿足感大減！奈何，從前的味道，包括人和事，當年鄉下妹出省城，自然感受深刻，現在已經吃得嘴刁了，始終是不一樣，這是這刻論食味，還是法國藍青口最上乘！

地道的吃法我懂亦照辦，是以青口殻舀湯後與青口肉同吃，味道更豐富及潤滑，青口肉質柔軟，富獨特的鮮甜味，湯頭盡是精華，酸香鮮美有辛層次，雖然並非遇過的最好，亦忘記了當年英國的食味，我依然差不多把它湯水喝清！青口鍋，無論你是本士或老外，我依然愛你。

今晚亦上了一課，原來青口有分男女，男的肉質是白色，女的是橙，早已留意到顔色有別，現在有了答案。

兩道菜後，意猶未盡，但又吃不下一道主菜，我即時發揮每事問之精神，高興知道有甜點供應，詢問下方送上一張餐單。

甜點在另一菜單上

Apple Tarte Tatin

Apple Tarte Tatin

六款中似乎後者最有特色，見到男侍應準備堂前製作，尚以為是會噴火的一種，原來不玩把戲，

Apple Tarte Tatin

只在面前翻轉煎鑊，取出蘋果撻調味而已，特色在一支牛奶樽內，盛著Calvados Sauce 蘋果酒漿。

Apple Tarte Tatin

切成一片片的蘋果本身已經煮至軟滑，味微酸，配雪糕及蘋果酒便增添甜及酒香的層次；我並不熱愛蘋果批，對我來說不過不失。

在香港，少有如此歐洲裝潢而面積廣闊的餐廳，絕對有英文用詞'grand' 的感覺，在此用膳如置身歐洲，這叫做比利時啤酒屋氣氛，佈置經典不拘緊，外藉侍應，態度殷切，格調高，價錢卻不過份，只是地點偏了少許，宣傳一下，假以時日，應該可以很旺。

別於一些朋友，我發現喜愛的，總希望再會，雖然青口未能完全滿意，但我已經安排了下月再訪，嚐嚐其他菜式。正如在身邊發現自己心儀的對象，務必找機會再見，多了解一下，方知道可會成為伴侶！

Haven Street has changed so much over the last a year or so. It becomes like a street full of great cafes and now Frites landed in CWB. The new one on Haven Street is nearly as big as the one on wellington street. The design remains the same as the original one in Central. The famous dog is still there without the newspaper in his mouth though. Although every frites looks more or less exactly the same, you just nevee feel bored of it.

The new one on Haven Street is nearly as big as the one on wellington street. The design remains the same as the original one in Central. The famous dog is still there without the newspaper in his mouth though. Although every frites looks more or less exactly the same, you just nevee feel bored of it. It's just CLASSIC and that's frites. If there is any new frites that don't like this, it's not frites. As simple as that.

We started the night with a cocktail the hoegarden Rose Girly girly drinks, sweet sweet sweet.

Food to start with was a Crab Tian.

It's a starter with crab meat mixed with celeriac remoulade, broad beans, pea shoots. The lemon dressing lightened the starter up, makes it very appetitizing. It is served with the beautiful cripsy toasts. The portion is actually bigger than we expected. Great good great value!

I can't remember if there is any time i came to frites without ordering their signature mussels. The mussels here is definitely one of the best in town. The Mariniere is my absolute favourite.

We ordered a 1/2 kg Mariniere to share. OHhhhhh the mussels is served in a different pot!! I kind of like the old one more, the old one looked more traditional belgian style. But nevermind, as long as it tastes good. And of course it tastes good. The mussels are very fresh, we didn't have any fishy one at all. I especially like using the empty shell to spoon out the sauce and eat it like soup! As i remember, i didn't come with bread before. And because i like the soup so much, i always order some extra bread to dip into the soup and eat it. This time it came with two slices of toast which is nice. But honestly i prefer fresh bread. It would be nice if we can choose to have fresh bread or toast.

For main, we ordered the Duck al orange. It's a grilled duck leg with orange emulsion sauce and mashed sweet potato

To be honest, at this stage we were like 80% full already.. When you looked at the beautiful food, you simply cannot stop eating. The duck leg was so tender, you can easily use a fork to tear it up. The skin.. oh gosh... i know it's fattening, but it tastes so nice, just can't stop myself eating it all. The orange sauce balanced the heaviness of the duck meat. It works like the lamb and mint suace combo. Amazing.

Another dish i highly recommed is their apple Tarte Tatin. It's an apple tarte, they flipped it upside down and serves with vanilla ice cream and cavaldos sauce

Apple Tarte Tatin

Apple Tarte Tatin

The whole tarte is full of slices of caramelized apple. The icecream melt on it. The sweetness from the icecream and sauce integrated with the slightly sourness from the apple to produce this heavenly great dessert. The portion is very decent, and it's good for 2 to share like it said on the menu.

We will definitely come back here again for food and beer. Next time, we will make it earlier to catch their 3-7pm happy hour time when you can get 50% on all draft beer and selected wine and other alcoholic drinks.

題外話/補充資料： They have express lunch and dinner too, extremely great value
