客家爺爺 (已結業)

Those who work in Central will know - it is not easy to find a cosy Chinese restaurant in the area. I am glad to have discovered this restaurant, although I still find it quite a long climb to Wydham St especially in this hot weather.The restaurant has a minimalist decor -which is good. Everything we ordered was tasty except for the soup which wasn't boiled long enough. The best part was prices were very reasonable.Will definitely visit more when the weather cools down.

今日同事推薦，午餐去左客家爺爺，之前一直好想試，終於有機會！我地六個人，侍應開門歡迎我們，我們一座底就逢上熱茶。是日老火湯係青紅蘿白粟米豬骨湯，估唔到中環的餐廳都煲到禁正的老火湯，抵讚，仲可以揀紅糙米飯tim！我們order 咗6個午市套餐，我地叫左：巴爺雞：係佢地既招牌菜，隻雞好香好入味，一ｄ都唔似出面既雞。瑤柱粉絲肉碎蒸水蛋：個人最鍾意食蒸水蛋，蛋不老很滑，撈飯真係一流！健康紅麯醬釀豆腐煲：豆腐好好味，咸淡適中，而且豆腐係美容及健康首選，女士們一定要試！黄金粒班塊：我覺得今日食呢碟黃金粒斑塊都煮得幾好食，好鮮甜，粟米斑塊好難煮得好食。翠肉瓜京醬炒豬頸肉：ｄ瓜好清甜，豬頸肉好林，有鑊氣!時菓咕嚕蝦：呢碟係男同事們的第二最愛，好開胃，蝦很新鮮我地呢餐，雞，魚，蝦，菜，蛋同豆腐都有，真係好健康，比起平時係中環食的lunch，呢度好有家常便飯feel；ｄ員工服務態度一流，好細心體貼，經常幫我地加茶，還有甜品送!朋友之前都話客家爺爺菜式好味，今日一試，果然好介紹，座得舒服和令人心滿意足的午餐，lunch多左一個好去處!!

For my birthday, my friends decided to take me out for dinner. I told them that I wanted Chinese food and something different. They took me to Hakka Ye Ye, and we had a wonderful night! The staff was extremely friendly. They were patient in explaining every dish. For starters we had smoky chicken wings; this was an excellent compliment with my beer. My friend preordered the sweet & sour duck w/ plums. This was really yummy, the flavour was just right. We also ordered the Ye Ye Stuffed To

早前同朋友談起客家菜，似乎要在市區吃好一點客家菜不易，既在附近開工，就找半區鐘來個午餐吧。十二時許，未開始入客，看看左右，幾西餐式的擺設，是鬼佬區中菜特色。午市有一人前套餐，前菜二選一，對「客家」人做的咖喱角信心不大，取老火湯好了，飯亦有得選健康米或白飯，吃客家菜還是白飯吧，主菜叫了蒸肉丸，似乎仲有甜品送的。湯未影好相，飯、菜已將檯子擺得滿滿的，午餐雖然比較趕，但亦未免快了一點。老火湯是雞腳瘦肉湯，味薄不夠火候。b]蒸肉丸看樣子唔多對路，粉下得很多絞肉吃落結結實實的不夠鬆，混有菇亦有土魷，很「肉餅」的味道，似乎與散餐上的肉餅同出一轍，九十多元套餐計，吃不到慢功細作的功夫錢，分量如吃兒童餐；一時許場內語言頻道轉為英文，願來如此．．．最後的甜品是紅豆紫米露，似乎唔多似小時候常吃的薑薯糖水，得啖笑的一餐客家菜，只好將希望投放在朋友籌辦的客家私房菜。

推開門見到一個高大威猛，貎似王力宏的男經理歡迎，好NICE。我們已決定選蘿蔔丸子$42，這裏出名，白白雪雪，外面堙堙靭靭粉包着白蘿蔔絲，幾清，不負所望。正考慮選甚麼雞，靚仔經理推介霸爺雞$$118，唔得，肉質部份OK，但部份好鞋及老過阿婆的肉，差咗，失望，同區牛記茶室及桃花工房的雞滑好多。西施梅菜扣肉$88，少汁，廋肉唔夠淋及化，又唔多汁，我個人喜歡龍門酒樓及灣仔醉瓊樓比較好些，可能適合OL，做法唔想太肥。爺爺糟汁炒米粉$92，唔錯，有芽菜，其他甚麼料已唔重要，主要是酒糟炒，好有酒味，不過差不多一百食炒米粉，值唔值見人見智。馬拉盞蝦醬唐生菜煲$78，不夠蝦醬，此菜都是在大排檔及茶餐廳，先致掂，先致夠臭。涼瓜芙蓉$72，蛋白與涼瓜撈埋一起，幾清，幾特別。最後，有糖水送-綠豆沙，無臭草唔夠香，綠豆唔起沙，好似加粉，唔係咁喜歡，靚仔經理問有甚麼意見，他說糖水無加粉，他說會跟廚房提意見。這裏的菜以清淡為主，價錢在此區算合理，雖然唔係每樣都喜歡，但以環境及地點在加上有靚仔經理，我會給他笑。

Not bad. The price is acceptable. Around HK$100 for a lunch set, it is including the soup, main course and desert. The lemon chicken and the 炆beefs are quit good. The food quality is nice. You have a family feel - family cooking for you.

無訂位，臨近八點去到已經滿座，好彩一陣就有枱食完埋單走人,LUCKY。餐前開胃菜 點佐 蘿蔔同埋 豆腐乾 味道OK，呢個無咩出色之處好講，但勝在開胃。蓮藕章魚煲瘦肉， 老火湯來既！落料足而且煲得夠味。好耐無飲過甘正既老火湯啦。竹笙瑤柱拌豆苗 芡汁兌對啱啱好，好滑，好香。菜夠新鮮。爺爺醉鳳凰 好濃郁既酒香味，雞肉好淋 正！西施梅菜扣肉 味道OK ，煮得夠入味，份量有D少。 比起上水間悅來好棧既梅菜扣肉，呢度既份量少佐D，價錢貴D，應該系貴系個環境同地區上。有甜品送，好食。總既來講，呢度味道OK，環境舒適，最難得既系服務態度好好,D服務員都好用心講解D菜式。

睇完「蔡瀾歎名菜」介紹此菜館又看完咁多人激讚的食評便決定相約朋友來試下! 我們一行三人(全女將), 點左以下的菜 (11-09-2008) :- 湯 (2x 是日老火例湯:合掌瓜章魚煲瘦肉 + 爺爺手打魚丸清湯) - 非常熱, 又無味精, 正! 極力推介! 蒸蘿蔔丸子 @ HK$42 - 好食! 有蘿蔔味又煙un. 一個order只得五粒!! 爺爺腐皮脆味卷 @ HK$42 - 硬身左小小! 又唔覺得又咩特別。 霸爺雞 (半隻) @ HK$118 - 正, 超好味及入味。D薑同蔥煮到剛好,軟硬適中, 雞肉又tender。 青瓜糟汁蝦 @ HK$138 - 這個麻麻地, 蝦完全唔入味。但個醬汁就幾好味! 馬拉盞蝦醬唐生菜煲 @ HK$78 - 份量比較少。 油左D, 味道一般啦! 是晚送的甜品 「雪梨雪耳糖水」就幾好食!總體來說都好食, 不過份量就很細, 略為貴, 對男仕來說絕對不夠。服務態度非常好! 會再幫襯試下其他的爺爺招牌菜! 蔡瀾的食評絕對可以信賴, 相反那位蘇小姐就..唉..算了吧!

Salt baked chicken is delicious and tender. So is the fatty pork with preserved vegetables (梅菜扣肉） Environment is quiet. Service can be more attentive. Good experience overall. Will go back.

正當今天煩惱到那裡開餐時，同事們帶我到對面街樓上舖客家爺爺。對於中環樓上舖我真的沒有抱太大期望。心想都是一般貨色罷了，就看看價錢如何。$92套餐，7種選擇，奉送例湯或腐皮脆咪卷，白飯或紅白米飯，甜品或生果。再多都假，食物水準才是重點。這天我們兩人沒有訂位想上去試試，餐廳己座滿了人! 但好彩剛好有枱走! 侍應生很有禮貌安排了座位給我們!我叫了個午市$92套餐例湯是野葛菜煲生鱼鹽焗雞飯一碟炒通菜跟白飯甜品是涼粉我朋友也叫了午市$92套餐釀豆腐煲跟紅白米飯我和朋支都覺得食物味道不錯，野葛菜煲生鱼湯味道好火喉夠，略嫌大碗。鹽焗雞的雞很新鮮，味道比海南雞更好。 我試了朋友叫的釀豆腐煲，豬肉釀在豆腐裹，很清淡和有黄豆放底。好食!甜品是涼粉，很滑!非常滿足的一個午餐，感覺很健康! 衛生環境很好。 我絕對會選擇再試客家爺爺。

母親節正日媽媽與老豆有節目，就提早慶祝，難得媽媽有提議，做女的我當然奉命。雖然是中菜館，裝修偏向西化很有時代感，環境較高檔。點菜前媽媽指定要我們點一些特色的客家菜。鹽焗雞及霸爺雞各半隻-兩款雞同樣特點是雞肉很嚡、沒有雞味，雞件切得係細件，較多細骨。兩者味道差不多，只是前者偏鹹一些。釀豆腐煲-豆腐不滑也是很嚡，內釀有豬肉和魚肉非常之少，大家較欣賞墊底的黃豆。梅菜扣肉-眼看不算太肥，我仍然沒膽嘗試，只食了底下又甜又爽的梅菜。時果咕嚕肉-每塊也是肉片，甜酸味還可以。海味雜菜粉絲煲-雖然不是客家菜，終於有碟蔬菜才完滿。瑤柱雞粒蛋白炒飯-味道不錯，只是飯粒不夠爽身。槽汁炒米粉-由於有紅色酒糟的關係，有著淡淡的酒香，有種酸中帶點甜的味道，頗為相當醒胃。食物水準好一般，相對來講偏貴一點。不過服務搭夠，幾個年青的侍應們也很貼心。

在香港，不容易找有水準的客家菜，因為好的材料難找，而只有在城市的周邊位置，才能找到比較似樣的客家菜，出色的，已很多年未吃過。在雲咸街開了這一間客家菜館，見有評語也普遍不錯，而且經過幾次都見座無虛席，故有興趣來一試。吃中菜，卻是西餐的佈置，十一人圍坐在由四方檯砌成的長長檯，沒有了中餐那種「齊齊起筷」的氣氛，卻要像吃意大利菜般將不用的食物由頭傳到尾，是另一種飲食氣氛，雖然個人而言不太習慣像這裡吃唐餐。要了午市餐牌的幾個選擇，另要了幾味菜，加碟鹹雞，吃午飯來說，應該差不多了。先說鹹雞，這裡的做得肉質幾鞋口，但幸好幾有雞味，雖然以客家鹹雞來說，其實做得不夠火侯，至少也不夠鹹香，始終索價二百元一只的，要求應該可以更多；梅菜扣肉是易做又難做得好的一味，除了廚功，也取決於材料。這裡的肥肉跟廋肉是四六對開，也不是很好的扣肉。肥肉分了給食友，只吃廋的部份，當然味道及口感都遠遜。但最不可以錯過的就是墊底的梅菜，索滿了醬汁，充滿豬油香，單此一味已經可以下兩碗大飯！咕嚕肉只是肉片，也吃出化學品的效果，汁調得過甜，可以忘記；涼瓜芙蓉是蛋白炒涼瓜，幾清淡，而涼瓜夠爽夠苦，好此道者必滿意；煎蛋角是用了上湯浸著的，賣

約了友人﹐本來苦無頭緒要吃些什麼﹐突然想起一直想試但沒有機會試的這間餐廳﹐所以就到雲咸街四處尋覓它。2樓鋪﹐沒有訂位﹐8時已滿了(還好有一張檯剛埋單)。餐前開胃點點- 豆腐乾+ 蘿蔔﹐開胃。叫了老火湯-- 今晚是蓮藕章魚煲瘦肉﹐足料﹑夠味(下火呢適合我和友人)。點心叫了蘿蔔丸子-- 很香蘿蔔味﹐煙煙韌韌的。竹笙瑤柱扒豆苗-- 稍嫌多了點"憲"﹐但菜很新鮮。一道這裡的招牌菜-- 西施梅菜扣肉﹐肉諗﹑梅菜不鹹帶甜﹐把扣肉的油膩感平衡了﹐一絕。爺爺醉鳳凰-- 其實有點像醉雞﹐但是熱吃版﹐有點失望﹐因為雞都浸老了﹐但很香酒香。本月精選-- 酸菜苦瓜炒豬肚-- 很成功的一道菜﹐裡面有三種不同的味道﹐但又很協調﹐推介!兩個人的震撼場面。最後還有甜品送-- 我和友人都叫了紅豆沙﹐一般。埋單$521 (連加一)﹐很用心煮的菜式﹐服務一流(waiter 很用心講解菜式)﹐環境舒適(略嫌有點吵﹐大概因為滿座了)﹐相對於喜宴﹐這裡吃得更盡情﹑更開懷﹑也更好吃。

It was my boss' birthday two weeks ago and he picked Hakka Ye Ye to host his Birthday Party. There were 40 of us and we took the whole venue.
