昨日與友人共二人在這兒午餐(大約一個月之前約左呢個昨日返長週的友人), 這次是我第二次星期六來這兒午餐, 發覺星期六的午餐時段無weekday咁難book到枱. 因我怕鴨肝胆固醇高, 今次有友人幫手食, 終於試到個deluxe lunch set了, 最近個deluxe lunch set重可以加海鮮拼盤, 見星期六有空不怕慢慢落手食咪加埋個海鮮拼盤囉, 點知原本個seafood platter不是烚過的海鮮蘸seafood cocktail而是極精緻及美味的全是jumbo-sized的四件海鮮 - 冰鎮鮮鮑魚 + 帶子sashimi+慢煮三文魚柳(表面似煙燻的但已熟)及比酒店buffet內的翡翠螺還美味的及更大的翡翠螺, 個汁重好夾添, 經理morris話有時晚餐都serve呢個seafood platter架(見附照). 二人share了 :-自家製麵包籃 - very good!(1) 普通set lunch : parma ham 加 菜沙律黃燈籠椒湯 (很concentrate & delicious, 色澤如一黃燈籠椒) 煎魚柳 (皮脆肉汁不失又不過熟) - 如果配菜久

昨日與友人共二人在這兒午餐(大約一個月之前約左呢個昨日返長週的友人), 這次是我第二次星期六來這兒午餐, 發覺星期六的午餐時段無weekday咁難book到枱. 因我怕鴨肝胆固醇高, 今次有友人幫手食, 終於試到個deluxe lunch set了, 最近個deluxe lunch set重可以加海鮮拼盤, 見星期六有空不怕慢慢落手食咪加埋個海鮮拼盤囉, 點知原本個seafood platter不是烚過的海鮮蘸seafood cocktail而是極精緻及美味的全是jumbo-sized的四件海鮮 - 冰鎮鮮鮑魚 + 帶子sashimi+慢煮三文魚柳(表面似煙燻的但已熟)及比酒店buffet內的翡翠螺還美味的及更大的翡翠螺, 個汁重好夾添, 經理morris話有時晚餐都serve呢個seafood platter架(見附照).
二人share了 :-
自家製麵包籃 - very good!
(1) 普通set lunch :
parma ham 加 菜沙律
黃燈籠椒湯 (很concentrate & delicious, 色澤如一黃燈籠椒)
煎魚柳 (皮脆肉汁不失又不過熟) - 如果配菜久不久轉多d款就好啦
(2) deluxe lunch set 加 seafood platter
煎鴨肝 - 皮脆及香, 味道好 (我只食了1/5)
海鮮拼盤 - 極力推介 (其實二人share的份量對我來說有小食多滋味感)
蔬菜牛肉湯 - 友人說勁好飲, 湯色清但味濃
炆牛肋條 - 超大塊, 蕃茄汁濃得黎不似是tomato paste做的, 有一個特別靚的法國或意大利蕃茄的味道, 汁的份量剛好
兩人的甜品都是黑朱古力pudding蛋糕 + raspberry icecream
因openrice有食評說飲品熱朱古力, 我倆都叫了hot chocolate drink (不過如果我們早知甜品是dark chocolate pudding cake, 我們一定叫熱咖啡飲, 個味會夾好多).
還有, 上兩個星期去食午餐時發覺熱咖啡的水準恢復了, 味蕾及鼻子都飲及嗅到香濃的咖啡味!
每人的消費是$300 (真抵食)!

凡事總有第一次,

最欣賞 Le Mieux Bistro 的食物,

永遠有着驚喜,
令人讚嘆.
今次在擔驚受怕.
受到平日至愛的魚魚要脅.
-------> Typhoon 鮎魚 <-------

在皇天不負有心人,
以及得到眾酒友的支持下,
終於完成歷史使命,
送上我的第一次哦 (做攪手囉 
 )
未開始吃的時候,
各人都各自各忙着...
看餐單哦...
Social 哦...
到開始上菜,
在看到坐在身旁或對面的菜式送上來的時候 

各人都屏着氣息的期待着---->
因為菜式做得實在太好了,
香味洋溢,
叫人好不雀躍呵. 

當然,少不了我們的 food and wine matching
有好的酒也要有好的食物,
來配,
才不會浪費呵.
這叫作:
惺惺相惜.
對嗎? 


這個特別為我們安排的 Menu, 讓我好感動.謝謝你,Ricky.

Recently moved back to Hong Kong and always been a fan of Ricky following his recipes; My Wife & I had dinner last night at the Le Mieux Bistro. First of all I would like to say excellent service, everyone - specially the Manager, Morris been very accommodating. We had to made a few changes to the menu as my wife dont eat raw seafood and It had been taking care of - BIG THANKS!! The waiter is very knowledgeable and even taught me how to make Thruffle Butter; which is one of the best butter I had so far. It is a 6 course menu and no corkage fee which is very affordable.
Forgot to take picture of the bread basket & the cream cheese & thruffle butter but they are for sure yummy!!

Baised Abalone, Slow-Cooked Salmon, Thai Sea Whelk & Hokkaido Scallop
The Abalone & Sea Whelk is very soft but not chewy; the scallop is very fresh and not fishy at all
never been a fan of salmon but is not bad. The spicy sauce has a kick to it definitely highlight the favor of all the seafood.

Slow-Poached Young Pigeon in Yellow Wine Bouillon
The Pigeon is 70% cooked and I think is prefect; It has lots of favor from the yellow wine but not over powering. The broth is on the saltier side which matches very good with the red wine we bought along.

Vegetable & Beef Broth with Foie Gras Terrine
Sorry for the picture forgot to take the picture until it was half eaten. My wife dont need Foie Gras so I eate the Terrine by itself and gave her back the toast - I found it a little bitter when eaten by itself but it work well when u eat it with the toast and dip it into the broth. I think a little sea salt & pepper with enhance the favor personally. the broth kind of taste like Russain Rorscht.

The Sea eel wasn't in the picture as my wife dont need it so it was not served on her plate but if u are sea eel lover u will love it as smoke it does enhanced the natural favor of the sea eel. The Paella does not taste like the traditional one I had before but it is very good!! The rice is prefectly cooked not too soft like most restaurant.

一直有留意Ricky的電視節目和雜誌專欄,欣賞他不單只是位星級廚師,還有他富幽默感而開朗的性格。一直很想拜會他在柴灣的餐廳,可惜地點比較隔涉而苦無機會,直至最近道聽塗說,知道餐廳八月已搬遷往灣仔,終於如願以償。餐廳裝飾非常簡約,用餐區成長方型,有點焗束的感覺。 Parma ham salad前菜先來一道清新的parma ham 沙律。薄切的parma ham煙韌有口感,拌以蜜瓜、洋梨、火箭菜,向來都是完美的組合。 南瓜濃湯南瓜濃湯一向是食神的至愛,想不到的是配上香辣的salami,竟然帶來另一種味覺的享受。 香煎澳洲盲槽魚 (Barramundi)主菜是香煎Barramundi魚柳。從來不太喜愛有魚鱗的魚,如果選擇魚類的話一定會點肥美的codfish之類,但這次點了barramundi卻得到一個意外的收穫。這道Barramundi 魚柳,魚鱗煎至香脆金黄,香氣四溢,再配上一個富地中海色彩的醬汁,味道有點酸溜溜但非常醒胃。 甜品剛剛從「飲食男女」雜誌看過Ricky教做好立克意大利奶凍的專欄,想不到這頓午餐的甜品也是意大利奶凍+自家製雪糕。可惜的是雪糕只是較普通的朱古力味而不是其他食評提

一直有留意Ricky的電視節目和雜誌專欄,欣賞他不單只是位星級廚師,還有他富幽默感而開朗的性格。一直很想拜會他在柴灣的餐廳,可惜地點比較隔涉而苦無機會,直至最近道聽塗說,知道餐廳八月已搬遷往灣仔,終於如願以償。

餐廳裝飾非常簡約,用餐區成長方型,有點焗束的感覺。


Parma ham salad
前菜先來一道清新的parma ham 沙律。薄切的parma ham煙韌有口感,拌以蜜瓜、洋梨、火箭菜,向來都是完美的組合。

南瓜濃湯
南瓜濃湯一向是食神的至愛,想不到的是配上香辣的salami,竟然帶來另一種味覺的享受。

香煎澳洲盲槽魚 (Barramundi)
主菜是香煎Barramundi魚柳。從來不太喜愛有魚鱗的魚,如果選擇魚類的話一定會點肥美的codfish之類,但這次點了barramundi卻得到一個意外的收穫。

這道Barramundi 魚柳,魚鱗煎至香脆金黄,香氣四溢,再配上一個富地中海色彩的醬汁,味道有點酸溜溜但非常醒胃。

甜品
剛剛從「飲食男女」雜誌看過Ricky教做好立克意大利奶凍的專欄,想不到這頓午餐的甜品也是意大利奶凍+自家製雪糕。可惜的是雪糕只是較普通的朱古力味而不是其他食評提及的jasmine或八角味,有點兒失望。

席間Ricky從廚房出來,跟在座的電視節目「甜心先生」主持人聊天。想不到品嗜美食之餘,還可以與celebrity chefs近距離接觸。

一頓豐富的午餐就此完成,可能之前懷着太高的期望而來,見過餐廳格局和試過食物後有點兒失落(中規中矩而不是差),尤其灣仔近期佈滿了新餐廳,相信要相隔一段時間才會重來。

傾慕Le Mieux Bistro已有數載,兩年? 三年? 講真都記不清楚了,心中也曾謀算過,要不要趁生日假去一圓心願? 很開心,原來不用了,或是太多食客的誠心祈求下,Ricky決定將餐廳由柴灣搬到灣仔。何等大的喜訊!!  為此,暫時擱置未完的生日飯,半晴半陰的天氣也不介意了,與四位食友前往灣仔道的樓上店品嚐優閒午餐。樓上灣仔道還是一派街坊雜亂感覺,上樓見到夢想成真的Le Mieux Bistro標誌後,進門則換了一片風光,佈置簡約而雅致,座位夠寬敞坐得十分舒服。  午餐內容相當的簡單,分為$140的自選主菜Set Lunch及$280的指定主菜Deluxe Lunch,各包指頭盤、餐湯及甜品,以及咖啡/茶。Set Lunch的主菜則有兩款選擇,是日五人要了三份Set Lunch,兩份Deluxe Lunch,則剛好將餐牌全掃光,內容逐一介紹如下: 麵包籃-由多款不同的特色麵包組成,大多鬆香有水準,當中個人最愛富有咬口的pretzel條。除了牛油,店方又提供酸忌廉芝士醬以佐餐包,美妙滋味引人食完又食,也要一讚!

傾慕Le Mieux Bistro已有數載,兩年? 三年? 講真都記不清楚了,心中也曾謀算過,要不要趁生日假去一圓心願? 很開心,原來不用了,或是太多食客的誠心祈求下,Ricky決定將餐廳由柴灣搬到灣仔。何等大的喜訊!!

 
為此,暫時擱置未完的生日飯,半晴半陰的天氣也不介意了,與四位食友前往灣仔道的樓上店品嚐優閒午餐。樓上灣仔道還是一派街坊雜亂感覺,上樓見到夢想成真的Le Mieux Bistro標誌後,進門則換了一片風光,佈置簡約而雅致,座位夠寬敞坐得十分舒服。
 
午餐內容相當的簡單,分為$140的自選主菜Set Lunch及$280的指定主菜Deluxe Lunch,各包指頭盤、餐湯及甜品,以及咖啡/茶。Set Lunch的主菜則有兩款選擇,是日五人要了三份Set Lunch,兩份Deluxe Lunch,則剛好將餐牌全掃光,內容逐一介紹如下:
 
麵包籃-由多款不同的特色麵包組成,大多鬆香有水準,當中個人最愛富有咬口的pretzel條。除了牛油,店方又提供酸忌廉芝士醬以佐餐包,美妙滋味引人食完又食,也要一讚!
 
Parma Ham Salad-是日Set lunch的頭盤,火腿片其實不算突出,然而配搭的水果款多又極為清甜,也是清新討喜的開始。
 
Seared French Duck Foie Gras-Deluxe lunch的頭盤,也分嚐了一點,但覺煎功真箇一流,成品煎至外輕脆內柔軟近融化!! 雖然鴨肝香馥度不及鵝肝,但加上廚師精妙手藝,我情願棄鵝取鴨了!
  
Cauliflower Veloute-Set Lunch的餐湯,初上檯還以為是蘑菇濃湯,飲下來才知椰菜花才是主角!! 椰菜花味道較為清新,撞上味濃香口的煙肉,頗有火花滋味討好,我喜歡!
 
French Onion Soup-Deluxe Lunch的餐廳,只影了沒試,由賣相及食友意見得知湯屬清甜類,追求濃郁口味的,還是轉投Cauliflower Veloute罷!
 
Roasted Smoked Duck Leg-Set Lunch的自選主菜之一,色澤粉嫩迷人;稍試了食友的出品,但覺煙鴨腿肉特別鮮嫩,肥瘦比例也很合宜。
 
Pan fried Barramundi Fillet-Set Lunch的另一主菜選擇,也成了我當天的選擇。一早聽Foxyleo大讚這裡的魚美味,這日一試果然精彩:澳洲盲鰽的外層香口得來十分清脆,令人再一次被此店煎功深深折服;與此同時,中層魚肉保持嫩滑可口,加上茄醬味道又豐富,酸甜中透出少微薄荷味,整體口味十分出色,連伴菜的薯蓉也十分香滑美味。
  
Slow Cooked U.S. Short Rib of Beef-Deluxe Lunch的指定主菜,因慢煮關係,侍者在落單不會查問成數,成品出來就是如圖般粉紅鮮嫩,同時牛脂分佈相當平均,呈現優美細緻的雪花紋,未吃已暈到一半;分嚐了部份,但覺牛肉口感極之豐腴,牛味濃且脂香滿瀉,好吃到令人感動的地步。為了這個主菜,$280的Deluxe Lunch價錢,值得付!
 
Assiette of Dessert-兩款午餐的甜品都一樣,是日精選為奶凍+自家製朱古力雪糕。先講奶凍,奶味異常濃郁,對一般人而言或會較漏,不過卻十分適合甜魔,而且面層的朱古力脆脆也很可口! 自家製的朱古力雪糕則混和了不少朱古力碎,口感豐富,加上墊底生果又來帶清甜口感,整體配搭也頗為美妙~
 
記掛身體不適而缺席的食友,餐後一改平日飲咖啡的習慣,點了一杯熱朱古力,香濃美味,不過見到千里的香醇咖啡時,也都幾動心的.... 真麻煩!

 
十分滿足的一頓,決定了這間餐廳要重來,沒錯要捉老公一起來! 另外也非常高興認識千里及準夫人,當日聊得十分愉快,期待來日再聚呀!

8月28日(星期六)中午,是日有幸和女友出席食友發起的午餐小局,亦非常榮幸地認識到慕名已久的甜魔教主Yan。餐廳裝潢簡約典雅,餐牌亦非常清楚易明,祇分Set Lunch 和Deluxe Lunch,除了Set Lunch 的主菜是二選一外,其餘由頭盤到甜品都已有安排。我們共有五個人,當然可以“掃Menu”。Prama Ham Salad:是日的生果的份量和沙律菜相若,有橙肉、哈蜜瓜和蜜瓜,因我不吃生果將之分給女友和其他食友,Prama Ham 則略嫌不夠鹹香和有點韌;Cauliflower Veloute:試了女友的湯,初時也以為是純蘑菇湯,喝了一口才知材料十足,原來內裡還有煙肉碎和椰菜花蓉,口感豐富,味道清新;French Onion Soup:原本我也是喝蘑菇湯,不過一時興起和食友交換他的洋蔥湯來試試。這個洋蔥湯較特別,湯底是清湯而不是一貫的濃湯,味道非常清甜,洋蔥的份量也很多,面頭放了一塊連芝士一起焗過的法包,法包焗得香脆而芝士濃味煙韌;Roasted Smoked Duck Leg:這是我點的主菜,煙薰味和鴨肉味都不太重,肉質軟滑,皮部脂肪位帶點焦香,而且感覺不太油膩,還有伴碟

8月28日(星期六)中午,是日有幸和女友出席食友發起的午餐小局,亦非常榮幸地認識到慕名已久的甜魔教主Yan。餐廳裝潢簡約典雅,餐牌亦非常清楚易明,祇分Set Lunch 和Deluxe Lunch,除了Set Lunch 的主菜是二選一外,其餘由頭盤到甜品都已有安排。我們共有五個人,當然可以“掃Menu”。
Prama Ham Salad:是日的生果的份量和沙律菜相若,有橙肉、哈蜜瓜和蜜瓜,因我不吃生果將之分給女友和其他食友,Prama Ham 則略嫌不夠鹹香和有點韌;
Cauliflower Veloute:試了女友的湯,初時也以為是純蘑菇湯,喝了一口才知材料十足,原來內裡還有煙肉碎和椰菜花蓉,口感豐富,味道清新;
French Onion Soup:原本我也是喝蘑菇湯,不過一時興起和食友交換他的洋蔥湯來試試。這個洋蔥湯較特別,湯底是清湯而不是一貫的濃湯,味道非常清甜,洋蔥的份量也很多,面頭放了一塊連芝士一起焗過的法包,法包焗得香脆而芝士濃味煙韌;
Roasted Smoked Duck Leg:這是我點的主菜,煙薰味和鴨肉味都不太重,肉質軟滑,皮部脂肪位帶點焦香,而且感覺不太油膩,還有伴碟的薯蓉其貌不揚,但口感幼滑,我差點就錯過了這美食;
Pan fried Barramundi Fillet:兩位甜魔都同時選擇了香煎盲曹魚柳,果然口味一致!這個來自澳洲的盲曹魚肉質較結實,鮮味輕淡,最令我們欣賞的是那煎得香脆鬆化的魚皮,不得不讚嘆廚師的巧手廚藝;

Slow Cooked U.S. Short Rib of Beef:這是其餘兩位食友選的,我亦有幸品嘗少許。因為是慢煮的關係,所以侍應不需要問幾多成熟,而且慢煮出來的效果更令人喜愛,牛小排色澤粉紅有點像七成熟,肉質嫩滑無比,而且脂肪分佈十分平均,口感豐腴卻絲毫不覺肥膩;
Assiette of Dessert:是日甜品是奶凍拼自家製朱古力雪糕,奶凍味道濃郁,而朱古力雪糕裡面有數不清的朱古力碎,味道輕怡,,入口滑溜;不過對於甜魔來說,份量好像少了點。

這頓午餐吃得非常愉快,彼此話題不絕,談起旅遊經歷,更和甜魔教主說得興高采烈,真的很高興能夠認識到甜魔教主。
P.S.: 因為實在傾得太開心,冒失的我竟然忘記替自己的的主菜拍照,幸得Yan借出照片,在此特別鳴謝,Thank you!

We booked a table for 4 two weeks b4hand.

There were 2 menus - Regular (HK$140 per head) & Premium (HK$280 per head). Since we don't prefer duck liver (too high cholesterol) as appertizer, we chose the regular menu.

Appertizer :
(1) Home-made Bread Basket (Very Good)
(2) Mushroom Quiche (not on photo) - Very Good
(3) Tomato Volute - thick & smooth tomato soup with strong tomato flavour which didn't contain any tomato paste. There with some smoked duck breast cubes at the bottom. On the top, it was drizzle of extra virgin olive oil with shredded mint leaves (Wonderful)

Main Courses :
(1) Pan-fried Salmon Fillet - the surface was so crispy but the heart of so juicy (Very Good). The sauce was good.
(2) Roasted Beef Ribs (deboned & sliced) - this one was OK. We needed to trim the fat with knife & fork. The sauce was good.

**The Manager asked the kitchen to have these two courses halved to serve on our plates so that we can have two main courses on my plates - great idea and service. The sauces was drizzle on different main courses - beautiful & professional

Dessert
Pana Cotta (Good) with Home-made Jasmine Ice-cream (Great).

** I love all the ice-creams in here so far. They are not too sweet and made of genuine natural fruit and ingredients. I wish I could have two scoops.

Tea & Coffee
This time we ordered English tea (they use "BOH" Brand, which is good). We brought along our Canadian maple tea bags. Oops we forgot to bring maple sugar.

We had the lunch from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm in here because it's quiet though it was almost full on Saturday. The music was good. It was HK$155 per head instead of HK$170 per head including tips. Maybe, we didn't order any mineral water this time and we had hot water and iced water instead.

The Restaurant Manager told me that they are unable to provide the weekly menu because the Chef will decide what to cook in the morning everyday after catching the best ingredients in the market. Besides, we had better book 3 to 4 days in advance because it's been full for 3 days recently.

This is a superbly great restaurant for lunch no matter to bring friends, clients and family in terms of food, place, price and service.

噫!有無寫錯,Le Mieux Bistro 唔係做法國菜咪?點解去食西班牙飯呀!得唔得駕?

無搞錯!今晚一行十三人來自不同背景之好友聚會,就是為了Ricky特別烹調之西班牙大鑊飯及烤乳豬,Ricky懂得做西班牙菜原因有二,一則從前於酒店工作時,直屬上司是西班牙人,因為思鄉,所以訓練Ricky煮家鄉大鑊飯,非常正宗;亦因為此關係,做就了Ricky認識不少西班牙藉客人,自辦私房菜後,這班西班牙客人亦常在他餐廳舉行商會聚會,不少會員更走進廚房提供意見,集思廣益,就調出了今天的作品,既然西班牙人都滿意,我們又怎能錯失良機,一於預訂一頓西法混合菜,且看效果如何.

搬了家的Le Mieux Bistro地點方便了,地方卻峽窄了.可能是把兩個單位打通,對正大門似走廊的長方形空間,正好放上我們的十三人長檯,走廊的一端是較方形的飯廳,另一端是廚房及其他餐桌;餐廳內依然有一個大酒櫃,半放式廚房就消失了.

正當大家忙於聚舊之時,窩心的新鮮暖麵包送上,今次的特色是跟隨之pate,奶白色呈欖球狀的pate是yellow cheese做的,中間紅色一條線狀的粉末是辣粉spicy powder;而圓形呈黃色的麵包醬是black truffle butter.前著芝士味清淡帶極微辣,後著truffle香氣濃郁,芬芳樸鼻,好吃至停不了手,兩者各有特色.


六道菜式之晚宴如下:

Fresh Oysters with Thai Salsa & Kamikazi

兩只oysters中等size,非常新鮮,一只較淡,一只較濃味,忘卻問及出處,因為注意力放於那杯白色的飲品,嗅一下方知為烈酒,是Ricky自家調配,主要成份為3種西方白酒而成,Vodka, Gin 及 Tequila.以作剌激味蕾,提昇我們品嚐鮮蠔之口感.

我們先吃一只蠔,然後乾了那杯烈酒,然後再吃另一只蠔,果然有不一樣的口感,佩服大廚之心思.

"SPA" Egg with Black Truffle on Iberico Ham

本來是温泉蛋,但Ricky改了做炒蛋,令其更香口,好讓配合我們自携之紅酒.此道菜式有雙主角, Iberico Ham is the best Spanish Ham,是極品黑毛豬,吃橡果及植物長大的,全無寄生蟲,入口完全唔乾身,相反表面泛有油光,微鹹,肉帶鮮味,並非一般火腿肉的死實鹹; Black Truffle配蛋是絕配,要的是truffle的香氣及蛋之口感,輕盈可口,回味無窮,再配以香鹹優質火腿,口感有清晰層次.

Roasted French Quail

家禽菜式是Ricky之強項,據說要做得好,難度甚高,可見大師功力;挑選的quail是正牌法國飛機貨,外表煎得焦脆,肉質嫩滑,全無冰鮮味,最難得是頗有'game",即野味之韻味,調味適足,只配以簡單的gravy肉十已經美味非常,果然廚勢出眾.

Crispy Suckling Pig

近日西班牙乳豬熱,不少店子也做得唔錯,例如有歷史悠久的Ole及近日興起的ABC Kitchen,這處亦沒有令人失望.據說廚司是用低溫慢煮方法,整只乳豬需要放進焗爐焗片刻,然後取出涼低溫度後,再放進焗爐,重覆若干次,必需經驗豐富方才可以掌握到烹調時間,待乳豬已熟,最後步驟是用高溫把乳豬皮烤至脆身,果然下足功夫.

每人分配到的乳豬大大件,格外皮脆肉嫩,香口入味,細看下,豬皮薄身,皮下幾乎無脂肪,肉件厚身有汁,份量十足,只需伴以平常的gravy已經美味非凡.一人分配一件剛好,否則吃不下.

Paella

萬眾期待之主角終於出場,整盆西班牙飯出場時令全場嘩然,各人皆忙於拿起相機拍照,就連鄰枱的觀眾也忍不住咨詢.一大個圓形平底鍋盛著的西班牙飯,香氣樸鼻,色彩艷麗,材料豐富,13只虎蝦清晰可見,平底鑊直徑起碼有4呎長,要兩個人才拿得起,單看派頭及外觀,已令人垂涎三尺.
一盆海鮮飯足夠20人分享,因此我們每人分配到的海鮮飯份量可不少,還可以添加.

西班牙飯的靈魂在於米,橄欖油及世上最貴的香料-番紅花(saffron).就是Saffron把整個飯染成奪目的金黃色,散發著鮮美馥郁而不膩的口感;Le Mieux用的米是圓圓細細粒的正宗西班牙米,卻又煮得軟綿略有咬口,並非西班牙人愛的較硬身,飯汁濃郁滋味,Ricky解說用了兩種不同的上湯,有魚湯及海鮮湯,香料上乘,散發著無盡香氣,海鮮新鮮滋味,有魚,蜆,魷魚,竟然還有肉,忘記是雞還是豬件,相信用以添加肉香,又或是混合西班牙南北部之文化,因為南方的西班牙飯用海鮮,於香港較為普遍,北方卻喜歡用肉,可能是天氣較冷.

正當我們專心品嚐美食之際,一碟黑色有焦香的食物送上,竟然是飯焦,要把一個直徑有4呎的平底大鑊飯,不蓋頂煮熟,已經很不容易,Ricky曾解說,何時下米,何時下湯汁,香料及海鮮要掌握得很好,否則生熟度會影響食物口感;更何況是燒到有焦而又不損壞整個飯之味道,難度甚高!

西班牙飯的飯焦,眾人皆一生人首次嘗試,估計Ricky是為迎合香港人之口味而設,試吃一些,焦香濃烈,口感香脆入味,比美我們熟識的煲仔飯的飯焦,而更優勝之處是飯焦之前已盡吸了海鮮之精華,吃起來更加滋味.

Dessert Du Jour
是晚的甜品是Napolean cake,三層pastry,二層creamy filing,再加上新鮮水果的topping,外觀漂亮,pastry鬆脆,清甜可口,沒有投訴.

評分
食物:4.5
是晚嘗了幾道功夫菜,身為名廚之Ricky實至名歸,果然有心,有力,有創意,食物評分本是滿分,只可惜太短時間內再度光顧,有如看電影續集之感,縱使依然出色,卻欠缺驚喜.香港人饕口饞舌,要滿足我們,實不容易.

環境:3.5
與柴灣相比,有得有失,分數不變.餐檯設於大門口,比較嘈吵.

服務:4
比上次少了1分,因為經理Andy已離職,缺了他每道菜的殷勤解說.

It has been a long time since I last visited Le Mieux Bistro, and the last time, they were still in Chaiwan.
Went there full of expectation as the previous visits have proved to be rather satisfying.
This new place in Wanchai is not difficult to find as the building has other famous Speakeasies and the signage can be seen even from the junction of Johnston Road.
The entrance to the restaurant seems a little awkward as one walks in. It looks like the patrons set foot right in the centre of the restaurant as the tables are set on both sides of the entrance. When the waiters are busy serving, they are left standing embarrassed, not knowing what to do or where to go. Apart from that, the tables are more closely packed than the Chaiwan premises, making it a less ideal place for romantic meals and if there are rowdy crowds, the noise does echo around the entire section of the restaurant.
Once seated, the waiter would come along offering bottled mineral water. Instead of asking what one would like for drinks, the already opened bottle (no choice there) would be shoved right in front of the patrons. I would have no problem with it if it were a brand new bottle to be opened there and then but clearly the bottle had been refilled with some plain water. Charging $30 for each bottle was clearly a rip-off. Yes, 300% mark-up for an Italian mineral water is not unheard of but when it is just plain water that is passed off as the real thing, it's just unacceptable. A very bad start to an otherwise pleasant lunch.
The restaurant was only 30% full when we arrived and the waiters were already telling the patrons that some of the dishes on the set menu had already been sold out. Not that we minded but it appeared rather strange that not one but two dishes had to be replaced from the menu at 12:45pm.
The bread basket was nice, warm and fresh. No complaints there.
The appetizer, some sort of salad, was well prepared.
The cauliflower soup was a little too salty to my liking but nevertheless I would pass it as better than average, especially for lunch.
The main dish was pan-fried salmon which well seasoned and nicely presented. No complaints there.
The dessert was a combination of ice cream and some sort of mousse. These were meant to be eaten separately and I could find no faults there.
Coffee was very aromatic and served with hot milk - a plus there as even some top-notched hotel restaurants have stopped paying attention to this final part of any meal.
All in all, the food was rather good but a tad worse than the Chaiwan days. I would have to give dinner a try before deciding whether the quality has really deteriorated as I have never had the opportunity to try the lunches at the Chaiwan premises before.
Service-wise, yes, the standard has dropped. It appeared loose, ill-timed and not synchronised. Despite the fact that my dining partner was still savouring the appetizer (with the knife and spoon indicating so), the waiter attempted to take away the dish on more than one occasion. I would also have liked my coffee to come with the dessert at the same time or a few minutes later but no, here the coffee/tea was served a good 10 minutes before the dessert. If we were to leave it after the dessert, it would have turned cold. But if we took it before the dessert, the aroma and taste of the former would have drowned that of the dessert. A mis-timing no doubt.
A final comment though. For a restaurant of that price range, a rather expensive one as a speakeasy, I would also have expected dining utensils of a higher quality. If my memory serves me right, the Chaiwan premises did have very nice and unique coutellerie to compliment the food.
I am prepared to give Le Mieux Bistro another chance but the already-opened bottled mineral water shoved to my face did leave a very bitter taste in the mouth.
P.S. The men's washroom is very very small. In fact so small that it cannot allow a person to open the door if another is using the basin.

香港真是老饕的天堂,各國菜式應有盡有,要吃法國菜的話當然不用大費周章,在OR隨意做一下搜尋,只港島區就已經有超過130間餐廳可供選擇。當供應不是問題的話,我當然想逐一品嚐每家餐廳的出品。兩個多月前曾到當時仍在柴灣工廈經營的Le Mieux Bistro吃午餐,在7月的最後一天我再次到訪這家餐廳位於灣仔道一幢商廈的新址。此店之所以能夠吸引我在短期內再次光顧,主要是因為用料新鮮、烹調技術出色、環境雅致和價錢吸引(四道菜午市套餐才不過$140)。到訪新店之前,其實內心也有或多或少的掙扎,諸如: 餐廳整個團隊能否在短期內熟習新店設施、店方會否將搬遷成本轉嫁到食客身上等問題不時縈繞於心。以地點而言,Le Mieux Bistro位於灣仔的新店實在方便多了。電梯門一打開,發現店外走廊設計與舊店如出一轍(紅色牆身襯以白色發光招牌),立時多了幾分親切感。裝潢方面也更有格調,不過新店的玻璃廚房因樓面所限,不能像舊店般將之置中,所以食客不能像以往般容易看到廚房的食物準備情況。至於服務團隊方面,也換了幾張新面孔。午市的食物供應方面,也跟以往一樣只供應套餐沒有散點,可喜的是價錢不變。今天的套餐分兩$140和$

香港真是老饕的天堂,各國菜式應有盡有,要吃法國菜的話當然不用大費周章,在OR隨意做一下搜尋,只港島區就已經有超過130間餐廳可供選擇。當供應不是問題的話,我當然想逐一品嚐每家餐廳的出品。兩個多月前曾到當時仍在柴灣工廈經營的Le Mieux Bistro吃午餐,在7月的最後一天我再次到訪這家餐廳位於灣仔道一幢商廈的新址。此店之所以能夠吸引我在短期內再次光顧,主要是因為用料新鮮、烹調技術出色、環境雅致和價錢吸引(四道菜午市套餐才不過$140)。到訪新店之前,其實內心也有或多或少的掙扎,諸如: 餐廳整個團隊能否在短期內熟習新店設施、店方會否將搬遷成本轉嫁到食客身上等問題不時縈繞於心。

以地點而言,Le Mieux Bistro位於灣仔的新店實在方便多了。電梯門一打開,發現店外走廊設計與舊店如出一轍(紅色牆身襯以白色發光招牌),立時多了幾分親切感。裝潢方面也更有格調,不過新店的玻璃廚房因樓面所限,不能像舊店般將之置中,所以食客不能像以往般容易看到廚房的食物準備情況。至於服務團隊方面,也換了幾張新面孔。午市的食物供應方面,也跟以往一樣只供應套餐沒有散點,可喜的是價錢不變。今天的套餐分兩$140和$280兩個價錢。$140的套餐有Parma Ham沙律、奧地利薯仔湯、燒極黑豬腰肉或煎多寶魚柳、甜品及餐飲。$280的套餐有法式烤鴨肝、法國洋蔥湯、慢煮美國牛扒、甜品及餐飲。今天點了黑豬腰肉及煎多寶魚柳套餐各一。

先上桌的是內有5款不同包類的麵包籃,由於款式依舊不變,加上過往食評已述,在此不贅。稍有變化的是,廚師這次製作了法蔥酸忌廉芝士醬,作塗麵包之用。鵝蛋狀的白色酸忌廉芝士醬,質感幼滑而色澤光潤,內裏混入了許多翠綠而切得細碎的法蔥粒,表面上灑了一行像「七味粉」般的細末,吃起來充滿蔥的惹味,曉有新意。

Parma Ham沙律則用了西生菜、澳洲菠菜葉、哈蜜瓜和Parma Ham,加入橄欖油和檸檬汁做成。西生菜和澳洲菠菜葉都清新翠綠,有了檸檬汁所起的提鮮作用,吃起來香香鮮鮮的,不但能夠辟除青菜的腥味,更能襯托蔬菜的青甜。可惜當天的蜜瓜肉不夠香也不夠甜有點失色,而Parma Ham的食味也未能為我帶來深刻印象。一邊在吃這裏的Parma Ham,一邊將這種感覺與早陣子在Spuntini吃到的Parma Ham作比較。後者無論在色澤、油潤度和甘腴感都比Le Mieux Bistro的出色,失落感攸然而生。

奧地利薯仔湯內有細碎的紅蘿蔔、法蔥粒、薯仔粒、洋蔥粒和一些香草碎,顏色是頗悅目的嫩黃。雖說是薯仔湯,但薯味完全被蔥和香草味所掩蓋,而且口感也不滑。

煎多寶魚柳是非常出色的一道菜。不知道廚師做這道菜時有何訣竅,竟能將魚皮煎得薄脆得像台灣豬肉紙般的口感。魚肉方面嫩滑是必然的了,更散發魚鮮香味,還入口即溶而魚脂更充滿口中。怕油膩的話可以將魚肉沾一些碟邊用蕃茄乾所做成的醬,蕃茄醬的天然果香必能平衡魚脂的膩感。

燒極黑豬腰肉相對之下,就沒有煎多寶魚柳般的出色(不過仍算好味)。極黑豬腰肉用了許多香料裹在外面,經慢煮後再燒至外層香脆。豬肉很嫩滑,色澤粉紅,不過外層的厚重香料,令人差點不能欣賞豬肉的肉香,而且外層的口感也稍嫌硬了一點。另外,其實煎多寶魚柳和燒極黑豬腰肉的配菜和擺設都大同小異,意大利瓜和蕃茄乾都成了此店的劃一伴碟菜(稍欠變化)。

甜品方面是榛子朱古力奶凍和雪糕。朱古力奶凍有豐富的奶味很稠滑,不過朱古力的香味不夠濃郁,或許是因為表面有太多炒得香脆的榛子碎,吃時榛子的香味蓋過朱古力味所致罷。雖說是奶凍,但一點都不覺冷凍過,只是室溫而已。另外,那球雪糕是最大的敗筆,根本吃不出是甚麼材料所製口感一般,雪糕之下的水果(奇異果、啤梨、香蕉碎粒)比前者更吸引。

或許第一次光顧Le Mieux Bistro有太深刻的良好印象,這次的感覺不如上次般好。另外服務方面,侍應雖勤快有禮,但就不如上次般事事主動。話雖如此,整體來說此店的表演已是中上,以$140的價錢有這種的環境、服務和食物,已是很難得的了。

原來我已經整整一年無寫食評了,懶開就懶!但呢一餐晚餐令我唔再懶!

很久沒有用心、刻意為人安排生日晚餐!今次從揀餐廳、揀餐酒都一手包辦,很樂意、很自然!其實知道呢間餐廳好耐,但之前喺柴灣,委實沒有衝動老遠去一試!今次無意中發現佢啱啱搬左去灣仔,方便很多呢!而且心想裝修一定會有新鮮感(因為之前的食評都係在柴灣用餐嘛!)

6個course嘅dinner,每一道菜都好滿意,食得出背後嘅心思!甚至連麵包籃都好新鮮/有特色,但因為分量真係不少,雖然我好想食晒D麵包(因為我真係好like食呢D麵包架),但真係無能為力了!

而餐廳不收開瓶費亦很好呀,我們自携的白酒很match,不錯呢!

這一夜我吃喝得很relax,完全不覺時間過了兩個半小時,希望夀星仔亦同我一樣,喜歡我為他的安排!

有機會我一定會再來,但同行的partner亦很重要呢~

Very disappointing. Came here for bday celebration expecting something at least as good as the set lunches this place usually offers. I mean, my mum's been here a couple times, and has raised my hopes up TOO high i regret to say. And it was my birthday dinner too. Grrr.

Food:
1.
Bread basket
This was really good. Hot bread. Served with butter, EVOO+vinegar. Lots of variety. Particularly loved the grilled cheese stick although I was aware of the amount of calories it contained. One must indulge, occasionally. The brown brick-like thing was delicious too.

Dish 1.
Baked asian herb crusted salmon with Poached White Asparagus
Excellent. Salmon was slow-cooked. you could cut through it without flaking the fillet. Very interesting texture, wonderfully fresh. White asparagus...it was alright. This dish is highly recommended.

Dish 2.
Fresh hand-picked crab meat gratinated with parmigiano cheese crumbs
This was really good too. The crab meat, you could taste, was extremely fresh. There wasn't a lot of cream in it either. Mostly crab meat. The baked cheese on top broke when you pressed your spoon into it. It would yield. Dig deeper and you find a small pool of juice yielded by the crab in the baking process. The crunchy-chewiness of the baked parmesan cheese crumbs + delicate crab meat + juiciness = heaven. oh, chives. The used a lot of em.

Dish 3:
Thai basil scented tomato consom
me
um. i really don't like sour soups. And i dont' like consomme. But you can't choose coz it's a set dinner menu. Nuff said.

Dish 4:
Spaghettini Pasta with sauteed garlic prawns in lobster sauce
At first i thought this was delicious. But after some thought I realized that the pasta was a bit too firm. Cld've been more al dente. The lobster sauce was nice though. Sticky, savory, lobstery.
not runny at all. It clung to the spaghetti strings like glue. yummyy. All prawns went to brother.

Dish 5A:
Oven-baked french organic spring chicken:
Highly, highly disappointing
I almost became irritated when this unworthy dish was presented before me. I thought it'd be like half a chicken, with the bones in tact, so I could attack the bird like a savage but no. They give me 5 chicken MEDALLIONS. medallions. dude i'm not after medallions. Even less enthusiastic am I for undercooked chicken medallions. sigh.

Dish 5B: was a roasted US short rib. I didnt' have any. the PROBLEM we identified, with the mains, is that they paired it with exactly the same sides. the veg was identical. Not that it was disgusting or anything but....無誠意lor. period

Dish 6:
mille feuille with some sort of ice cream (butterscotch?) on a bed of fruits.
oh dear. i took one nip at the mille feuille and abandoned it. The cream was tasteless. yuck. But i devoured the whole ice cream heartily. Mmm. Really loved the bed of finely-chopped fruits it was sitting on as well. 'Leen mo', pineapple, melon, kiwi, zespri. delicious. I'm gonna be a copycat.

Sorbet: plain bad. Kiwi and zespri on ICE. ice with a dash of lime juice. It almost scorched and hurt my tongue and palate, man.

Gimmicks:
1.
A customized menu with the host's name printed on it. Pretty nice.
2. Since it doesn't have an alcohol licence, it can't sell wine. You need to BYO. To encourage guests to pair food with wine, they give you $200 cash at the end of the meal. No its' not a discount. It's to see to it that you hop on a taxi to get home, safe, and not be deterred from having wine during the meal by the thought of drink-driving. Yep, pretty novel idea. Pretty smart too.

Conclusion
do not come for dinner. Maybe lunch.

一連四天大假開始, 目的柔左休息就係搵好野食

可惜天公不這美, 第一天的傾盆大雨把小女子陣腳打得大亂
於是第二天一大清早起床, 連早餐都無食
就坐了三轉車到柴灣工業區
向Le Mieux Bistro 朝聖也


到柴灣工業區時未到十二點, 還見大門深鎖

無奈下只好落街打多個轉

於是只好在預訂的時間再踩場
店內環境高雅簡潔, 空間感十足, 一貫法國人的優雅自在感覺
Open Kitchen 是盡收眼簾下, 整潔度實在不像一般廚房

Andy @ Manager 扮演了一半PR 角色, 無論對香料, 食物, 客人喜好更是得心應手
幾句交談下已和小女子混熟了, 他更好客地帶我進廚房拍照
還有機會見到Ricky 真身
以往也有聽開他主持的飲食節目, 閱讀飲食男女內他寫的專欄等等
今日真有幸可以和他拍照和暢談

Andy 為我準備了一張自成一角的枱, 還有大量的書本隨意閱讀, 這個小型書庫也全是Ricky 的收藏, 全無壓迫感的位, 一切來得好自在
先開了一礦泉水 ($30)
而午餐menu 有兩款, 分別為燒鴨胸或香煎多寶魚, 而我選了後者

先上一盤子麵包, 付上橄欖油和黑醋小碟,
各式麵包有五個之多
五款麵包也不可忽視, 方形的充滿牛油香, 其餘的芝蔴包、香草包也烘得香脆好味
原先只是小試牛刀只作輕嚐, 無奈地手腦全不協調下KO了五個包


先來個環頭盤作熱身
Smoked Salmon & Boiled egg salad : 半生熟溫泉蛋加上點點海鹽吊味, 更是突出了雞蛋的甘香
煙三文配合了火戰菜, 也是一剛一柔的配合

接下來是
Pumpkin Veloute 南瓜湯:
是小女子的favorite
奇怪的味道從口腔內慢慢地透出淡淡的咖哩香味
是第一次嚐到這個組合, 將南瓜與咖哩也升華到另一個味覺
而湯的稠度十分過適中, 充滿creamy 感
飲到最後一啖真有點唔捨得啊

Main Course
Pan Fried Turbot Fillet : 香煎多寶魚
多寶魚是用上慢煎的方法處理, 皮薄如乳豬, 輕切已自然由地烈開, 脆皮的背後是雪白的魚肉
魚油是除除地從口腔內透出來, 但沒有油膩的感覺, 而味道則較淡口
唔講唔知, 原來最架勢是配菜的一粒蕃茄
用上慢火烤了五小時的出品, 理應慣性一口品嚐的蕃茄, 今日絕對要試真點
由小處著眼, 阿廚對食物的要求和執著
另外一個配菜小薯仔, 也鋪上了香草忌廉汁, 是另人欲罷不能的味道

最後是十分期待的甜品時間
Asslette of Dessert : Vanilla Ice-cream 有點失望呢 …
因為小女子唔食Vanilla雪糕, 不過今日當然也要破例了
Andy 話非一般vanilla, 但對我來說分別不大啊
香滑奶凍 : 小小的杯子內怖滿了榛子碎, 質感絕對是滑溜非常, 奶味也香濃,
一香一滑十分匹配的味道

最後送上香濃的 House Coffee 作完結

這是小女子生平第一次食法國菜 (笑)

十分十分滿意的一餐, 用上不到$200 已由主菜食到甜品, 而每道菜也送上味覺上的滿足
阿廚: 我下次黎可否為我準備crème Brulee 呀 ? (你答應左我架, 哈哈 ~)
我也記得會贈書給你啊 !

14th May 2010

久聞名人厨師Ricky Cheung於柴灣開了一問私房菜餐廳,但由於位置偏遠,兼且位於工廠大廈(心想吃法國餐應該要浪漫些!),再加上不便宜,其他私房菜大多$300多元,Le Mieux Bistro剛開張已經是$500幾一位,現在更是$680+10%!近日Piere II, French Window 等名店推出的French May Four Sense Special Menu 都只是$700多一位,似乎還未有強烈理據要光顧.

點知突然間連續3天有不同親友問及'試過未?'其中一位更極力推介Black Truffle Carbonara Pasta, 話隻温泉蛋做得一流,跟Carbonara的組合更是天衣無縫,於是當第3位朋友問及時,就鼓勵佢搞飯局,終於我們一行七人品嚐了物有所值的一餐.


先講地點,我們在東區走廊真係lost咗,出錯出口,又走回頭,最後遲到半粒鐘,真係唔好意思.有朋友乘地鐵要行2條街,還是搭的士方便.

再講環境,停車場的員工又幾helpful,知道我們首次到來食私房菜,門口啲就指示我們車泊3摟,然後乘電梯往4摟,車到3摟,又有人揮手安排我們洎車的位置,就在電挮旁邊,按掣等電梯,一回兒便到達,唔係嗰d油壓電梯,行路仲快過佢嗰隻.餐廳都唔難揾,走了幾步,就已經見到 Le Mieux Bistro 啲搶眼紅色大牆及銀色字招牌,全程無被工廠大厦環境掃興.

餐廳內裡裝修清雅,有大大的酒櫃,仿似酒店餐廳的格局,長長餐枱與餐枱之間有寬敞的空間,比在市區的私房菜餐廳有私穩.特別在她提供一個隔着大玻璃的open kitchen, 讓客人看到廚房的運作,主廚Ricky全晚皆在裏面忙碌,真係有落手做菜的.

先稱讚她服務一流,有齊fine dinning的水準,首先是全程找waiter幫忙無難度,兼且快而準.二則,願意照顧有特別要求的客人,我們席上有位朋友因為不愛吃cheese,他們就為他特別製作了3個走cheese & cream 啲 dishes. 最重要的是 Manager, Andy 很熱誠地為我們講解菜式,回答我們也許是 'naive' 的問題. 當然少不了有Ricky 啲親身解說, 在他巡迴到訪每枱客人之時,被我們起碼霸佔了30分鐘.

若非得到Ricky & Andy 啲解說,我們就只知食物美味,卻不明其所以然.怎也想不到烹調工序如此複雜,控制水準如此困難,做一道菜容易,做一道大部份人皆欣賞的就3倍艱難!

得到高手的慷慨分享,詳盡菜式評論如下:

May Dinner Menu

1, Baked Asian Herb Crusted Salmon with Poached White Asparagus

第一道菜便已很有心思及創意,一致通過,這是我們極度讚賞的頭盆,賣相漂亮之餘,味道絕頂清新幼嫩可口.

先談賣相,一件厚厚的三文魚扒加上一滴黃梅醬,貌似一個感慨號,是否驚嘆為何世上有如此美食! 右方的white asparagus及沙律堆砌成一個圓形,左右加起來看就是"10",難道是足10分的意思?

The salmon is just terrific, very fresh and tender, it tastes raw but is actually done by slow cook. The benefit of slow cook is that it keeps the freshness of the meat to a maximum as high temperture cooking may damage the texture. Just because the food needed to be cooked in a relatively low temperature, this kind of dish used to take long hours for preparation.

Our first experience on slow cook dishes came from Magnus Ek (a famous chef from Sweden) back in 2007. The Norwegion Losbter was done by slow cook in room temperature (Hong Kong temperature was about 20C in Oct 07). It was marinated in lemon juice and olive oil only, wrapped by a plastic paper, cooked in room temperature for, I don't remember how long the chef said.

I think the salmon we have here tastes even better. Though, it is hard to compare with a memory 3 years ago!

Salmon入口即時融化,無比嫩滑,有着吃魚生的口感,但又唔覺佢好生.頓覺有非常非常少的腥味,可能入口salmon始終是冰鮮,又或是帶有魚皮的關係.

據Andy解說, 做法是先把salmon用Asian Herb(例如薑,蒜,香草等)醃好, 然後用保鮮紙包裹着用低温(40-50C)煮若干小時,時間要控制得非常好,否則salmon肉質會變.

Salmon旁邊的魚皮灑上芝麻,兼帶有濃烈的香草味,唔知用咗咪嘢袐製香料?

White asparagus 貌似常見的green asparagus, 味道較light but more tender.卻是這個季節才有供應.雞蛋番茄沙律亦做得非常好味.

2, Fresh Hand-Picked Crab Meat Grantinated with Parmigiano Cheese Crumbs

這道菜貌似甜品 apple crumble,上面加了葱,底部加了茄汁. 其實頂層像有氣泡的餅餅就是用Parmigiano cheese 做啲 cheese crumble,下面底層是蟹肉.

未進口已嗅到樸鼻的芝士味,入口有在吃釀蟹蓋的口感,脆口之餘有蟹肉的質感及鮮味,用料上乘十足,口感有層次.

原來 crab meat 生拆出來後要泠藏,否則食用時反而鮮味不及,又學倒嘢喇!

3, Thai Basil Scented Tomato Consommé

很多人以為普通番茄清湯,唔值錢,原來這個湯才是考廚師功力的菜式.

In cooking, a consommé is a type of clear soup made from richly flavored stock or bouillon that has been clarified usually through a fining process involving egg protein. It usually requires an advanced knowledge of cooking and past experience to create a high quality consommé. Despite, or perhaps because of, these limitations, consommé has maintained its place as one of the most highly regarded and appreciated soups in the world.

番茄清湯聽起來好似很容易做,以為只要把大量新鮮番茄敖成老火湯便成!問題是為甚麽這道湯是半透明而不是深紅色的呢?

原來工序繁多,煲湯時要不停攪動,煲成後要隔清湯渣,秘缺是加上蛋白,它凝固時會包着湯渣,經過多次重覆過濾才成為清湯.

一般 Consommé 都有加肉敖的,而這個湯就只用番茄,可見Ricky的功力.據他說,廚房內只有一名廚師能做到這個湯.

今晚的Tomato Consommé 加了數小片紅薑蔔及西芹,看起來漂色,卻嗅到淡淡的番茄香,大啖喝之,盡是滿嘴濃郁的番茄湯,令人胃口大開.

A few words on comparing Ricky's Tomato Consommé and Roland Schuller's Tomato Water (Roland is currently chef of Drawing Room, previously work for Aspasia. Tomato Water is one of his signature dish.) The latter is a clear soup with langoustine and clams but cold. The way to taste it is to have a spoonful of water and then a spoonful of tomato soup. Water cleans your palate and, therefore, brings out the richness of the tomoto fragrance.

When comparing the two, Roland's soup is even more concentrate whereas Ricky's has additional sweetness from the carrot & basil.

4a, Spaghetti Pasta with Sauteed Garlic Prawns in Lobster Sauce

Pasta 非常 al dente, 飽浥了lobster sauce 的精華,味道濃郁彈牙,配以蒜茸大蝦更加惹味,真係好好食,唔知仲以點形容!!

煮一道意粉,除了意粉本身要新鮮及彈牙煙靱之外,分別在於意粉能否跟醬汁混為一體.原來意粉係唔應該過泠河,此舉只會令意粉收縮,影響到它吸收醬汁的能力.

4b, Black Truffle Scented Carbonara Pasta (not on May menu, a special request by us)

Here comes the hightlighted of the evening. First come to the table is a strong frangrant of black truffle, then a beautiful dish with a cheese biscuit at the top, semi-boiled egg in the middle and penne at the bottom.

賣相很獨特,面層是一片像個網的芝士脆餅,蓋著的是一隻白色啲温泉蛋,cheese帶鹹,light & crunchy.弄穿了的温泉蛋汁原來跟creamy 啲carbonara sauce是完美的配塔,錦上潻花!Black truffle favor brings scent while cheese brings a salty taste to the pasta. 黑松露的香並沒有蓋過 creamy sauce的蛋香,把原本可以簡單的Pasta with Carbonara sauce 變成了一道香味跟口感同樣複雜的菜式.

溫泉蛋的製作全憑經驗,朋友以為需要加醋幫助蛋白凝固,原來此乃 egg benedit 的做法,溫泉蛋是只用水煮,要靠技巧.

2個pasta風格完全唔同,各有喜愛.我卻始終鐘情前者,喜歡lobster sauce's strong taste.

5a, Roasted US Prime Rib Eye with Sauce Bearnaise

牛扒也是 slow cook的,有牛肉味及軟腍腍.Sauce Bearnaise是吃steak的靈魂,it looks simple but would takes years of practice for the result to be perfect, 是用蛋黃,牛油跟香草做的,調得很好味.

但相比另一主菜,牛扒就無咪驚喜!

5b, Pan-Seared "Catch of The Day" Fish Fillet with Seafood Boudin and Chive Beurre Blanc

Catch of The Day tonight is 馬頭,是本地魚,厚身的海馬頭並非經常有,魚肉幼滑,適合用作西菜pan-fry grilled. 雖然我是魚痴,但吃西菜多半不會選擇魚,怕佢嚡或無味.如果個sauce調得唔好就更糟糕.

今晚卻是意料之外,同枱朋友皆稱未嚐過這樣滑的西魚,簡直令他們對西菜的魚改觀,可見高手的功力,我卻亦是第一次嚐馬頭,從前聽都未聽過,亦唔知西餐可以用本地魚做,一般都是dover sole, salmon, sea brass, etc.

除了馬頭外,我最欣賞那件貌似魚餅的 seafood boudin, 是用帶子,蟹肉及蛋白做的,口感飲綿綿,有鮮味,非常好吃. 本來boudin means kind of meat sausage, 起初以為是雜肉.

6, Dessert Du Jour

甜品的名稱為opera,賣相似幅畫,由一片chocolate and a Bailey ice cream組成. 個雪糕食唔到咪酒味,蛋糕就有濃郁的朱古力味.

唔食cream的朋友就來了一客fruit salad sorbet.清新輕盈.

最後送上coffee and tea. Ricky 亦是這時才有空出大廳與客人交談,跟傳說中一樣,是攜著一杯紅酒的.

交談中,得知他的另一拿手菜式是西班牙海鮮飯,但因為份量大,需要有20-30的宴會才會訂此菜式.而餐廳亦已計劃於七月中搬到灣仔,那時會更加方便. 我們已在相議組團到訪,於七月中再嚐一頓西班牙餐!
