Memo's (已結業)

話説這三個星期前，左手腕舊患復發，痛症一直未減退，所以一朝早便去了正街看完跌打，左手包裹著純白色的"拳套"後，又要為午餐想想法子。原先已決定去一間cafe小店食件蛋糕然後再上班，怎料因小店附近有食水喉維修而導致沒法開店，就注定與它無緣。但好景不常，天氣先生又不喜歡我，頓時不起大雨來，一向不喜歡帶傘的我又要和雨天玩躲避遊戲了。在手束無操的情況之下就巧遇了這間具歐陸式風情的餐廳，店內一個客人也沒有，似是剛剛開店營業不久，所以決定做它是日的第一客人吧！一般的歐陸式餐廳都特意營造一個陰暗浪漫氣氛的情調和環境，但這裡卻背道而馳，樓底很高，天花上吊著數十盞巨型的燈膽，創意度極高；四周牆壁均掛上意大利不同等地的圖畫；酒吧枱寬敞，給予客人一種舒適的視覺享受，令人耳目一新又不失格調。所影到的相片是門外的餐牌，圖文並茅，價錢位於同區內相對比較上也合理，$88的午餐，包括了是日餐湯或沙律，主菜可選擇意粉、薄餅，或以$118選較貴食材的西冷牛扒或三文魚扒，餐飲則可選茶或咖啡或是日甜品！小妹原先是看到門外餐牌上的risotto而衝著來的，但入到去一坐下，就被兩個菲籍的女侍應，指示看了看近酒吧枱黑板上的餐單，才知

This is the second part of my day at Memos on June 8.  Six of us stayed back to have dinner after the anniversary celebration for my friend's company that afternoon. Again, Carlos wowed us with delicious food.  We shared three different appetizers: 1. Mussles - it's my favorite.  If you order this, dip the bread into the sauce.  Soak it all up, every drop of it.  It's just so good). 2. Salad - refreshing and crunchy 3. Fried calamari - another good one to share with friends As for the main cours

I have been at Memos about a month before this for dinner. I had a wonderful experience. So I was really looking forward to going back. So this time, I was there to celebrate an anniversary of a friend's company. It was on a Saturday afternoon around 4ish. The restaurant was easy to find. I got off on Bonham Road and walked down from the escalators. As soon as I reached High Street, I turned left. You can't miss it.I love the appetizers at the party. Authentic and flavorful. The owner, Carlos, g

西環高街有不少西餐廳，其中一間叫做 Memo's，環境不錯，賣的是意大利菜，這一天，我便在這兒吃了一頓部分菜式還好，部分卻不太理想，但整體來說仍算中規中矩的午餐。這兒的午餐價錢合理，$88（未計加一）的午餐，已包括是日餐湯或沙律、從餐牌中任選的意粉或是日主菜或星期薄餅和是日甜品或咖啡或茶，選擇挺多。而即使主菜揀選較貴的西冷牛扒或三文魚扒，也只是 $118（未計加一）而已，仍算合理。兩夫妻各自選來一個餐湯和一份沙律，主菜方面，我選的是 「西冷牛扒」Sirloin Steak ，老婆仔揀的則是 「香蒜蜆肉意粉」Vangole Spaghetti。這天的餐湯是「雜菜湯」Minestrone，味道對辦，是及格的餐湯。是日沙律本來是「煙三文魚沙律」Smoked Salmon Salad的，可是這天我倆來得遲，黑板上原先還寫著的「煙三文魚沙律」已剛被換成 Mixed Green Salad ，實在有點兒令自己覺得這天的運氣不好。幸好這「什菜沙律」賣相和味道尚佳，繽紛亮眼的色彩，開胃的味道仍能為這餐帶來一個好的開始。我的主菜「西冷牛扒」要了 medium 的生熟度，出來效果不錯，邊位帶點兒脂膏的外層

其實而家高街一帶開左好多西餐廳,揀左MEMO'S 決定一試面包夠熱,不是那種又凍又硬Salad叫做咁多食物中最OKAY湯係勁難飲...完全冇落cream魚淡而冇味...PUZZA還可以...可能個人中意食薄PIZZA...直得一提係佢自家home made chili oilcoffee好難飲... 幾大杯都冇用

西半山對一般的九龍人的我們來說, 一年頂多一至兩次會到訪,那是拜年才去的地方, 最近也去了一次西環尾食生日飯, 但也是那麼的一次, 其實主要是交通令人有些卻步, 但亦因為這樣,那裡才沒有像銅鑼灣, 灣仔般嘈吵, 保持學校區那份寧靜及閒適, 時間還多着呢的感覺多好, 一切放慢腳步的慢活態度, 香港人為何不可? 每天庸庸碌碌地忙為的是”明天會更好” 我才不信那一套! 星期五假日約了在西半山工作的少女A 及友人C一起晚飯, 本來想去西環尾的酒吧, 但看來少女A已經倦透了, 就就佢在附近找一間餐廳吧, 其實那條街-高街也有幾間食肆的, 主要是西式, 但也有日式或者茶記, 我們選了一間客人較多的座下, 店內裝飾明亮光潔, 牆上掛了一些畫, 其中有些畢加索早期一點的黑白畫, 我們被安排在店內較入的卡座非常之寬敞舒適,同旺區的商場餐廳比較實在太舒服了, 而且枱與枱保持一定距離客人無須唔覺意進行了竊聽行為, 這樣才是本來應該有的餐廳嘛, 當天有四個人可以叫一支酒了, 因為一杯Glass Wine 都$58了, 一支最平的白酒不過$278先來一個沙律, 菜類算幾新鮮,但配沙律來的餐飽看似OK但質地是死實

星期六晚上，教會完了，跟人慶祝生日，十多人到了MEMO。因教會在旁邊，每次走過都見MEMO都有格調，也算是高街較早加入的新興高級餐廳。其實十多人都叫了八至九個菜，但我只影了兩幅，因食食下，也覺得不是太深刻。1. Carbonara 碟大大，一人份量十人分，每人一條 (?!)不算特別。2. Risotto碟大大 (x2)，吃下真的沒有驚喜。它的咬感不足，飯粒又沒有黏性，一粒粒好分明，不似平常食開、煮開的Risotto。味道：很平淡，有菇但沒有香濃菇味。心目中，要吃Risotto，一定是有濃郁味道才好食。這個，太平凡。$128。真的不值。3. Pizza我們都叫了多款Pizza，一般都OK，薄批的鬆脆，但批皮略為硬了一點。料也OK，不過不失。服務方面，侍應都算是友善，但斟水卻不佳，叫了個類似經理的女侍應，兩次都轉頭走了，水都慳返(?!)以這個份量，（因我們叫得不多）對男士來說，絕對可以繼續食。對錢包來說，不如慳返少少，去另一間再食。如果要食這個價錢，試試其他食店還好。

There's not much to eat around HKU, if you consider that all the stuff on campus has lines out the wazoo during lunch time. High Street is a good target, and I've just recently been exploring it. Stopped by Memo's after teaching a morning class. Here are some thoughts: Smoked salmon salad: I've had way better smoked salmon. I was surprised, however, that the side salad for the set menu was so elaborate. So although I'll fault it for not being great, it was better than just iceberg lettuce and to

一間好像很有＂情調＂和＂品味＂的平凡餐廳。服務一般，不算太貼心。剛好遇到餐廳其中一個合夥人，但絕對不會照顧客人的需要，只會照顧熟客和親友，對於其他顧客不理不問。食物味道還可以，但$298的seafood stew 卻有點貴，海鮮也不算新鮮。Sangria 也調的不好喝，味道太濃。總體，已這價錢服務，soho會是一個比較好的選擇。P.S 服務其實真的很一般，我的水杯超過七成時間是空的。可以不去就不要去了。

RECOMMENDED: It's a challenge to find Mediterranean food in HK. Simple preparation with quality ingredients with good execution are needed to make these dishes shine. Our dinner was excellent and clearly a return visit! This is one of my personal "finds" for HK and a total surprise considering the unassuming location.This restaurant has only been open for about 4 months and sports a very large menu with a mix of both Italian & Mediterranean food. Large menu's always scare me - as any kitchen wil

A nice lunch was in order having successfully gone through what they put us through. And today is my first time eating at High St. since start of term. I used to eat here at least once a week. There were so many new restaurants I almost felt stranger to these once-so-familiar parts. Environment:Quite liked the inviting, chill, open-storefront setting. The ceiling is quite high and the decor is no fuss, simple and practical. Tables aren't too close to each other and there's a wide aisle right dow

Went to Memos on the recommendation of a friend who lives in the area, When wearrived we were Greeted by a friendly Staff person whom quickly got us our seats (we had no reservations).The restaurant was half full but was quite lively, (later it filled up)We were looking at the Black Board Specialsand was recommended a few of his favorites.We took the advice, and we were all very happy we did,We ordered Salads and a Veal shank.The Food,First we ordered Salads, The Greens were fresh and crispy an

高街的西菜三分而立，之前嘗過帶點港式但心思搭救的One Stop，這天就品嚐其餘的兩間．經過看見標榜分子料理的Amazing One居然在播電視劇集(!)，第一眼感覺已經不行，所以就選擇了以意大利大廚命名的Memo's．這晚我們有點早，餐廳除了我們就是兩名穿黑衣的菲籍侍應．餐廳內部裝修不錯，四周掛著意大利等地的相片，是想營造比較認真的西餐廳氣氛吧．餐牌有印在毡枱紙和寫在黑版上的，選擇不多亦不少，都是基本的意菜．但看見有西班牙cold cut platter for two，最近喜歡吃風乾火腿的我們亦忍不住食指大動！最終點選了數款頗大路的意大利菜式，探探水溫．這晚沒點酒，但喝著浸著檸檬酸咪咪的開水，亦覺清新．侍應先放下麵包籃和一碟塗料：除了三角形牛油，還有橙色的甜椒醬和綠色的橄欖醬各一．籃中的麵包切成角，烘得夠熱，但送來的時候已經偏乾偏脆，新鮮吃時還算咬得下去，但放涼後就真的硬過石頭，切也切不開．不過牛油頗酥香，兩款甜椒醬和橄欖醬亦比較少見，味道很清新不膩，塗在乾脆的麵包上吃很不錯． 先來西班牙凍肉拼盤(兩人用，$148)，碟很大但食物不多，感覺頗空洞，擺放方式有改進空間．風乾火腿有三款

餐廳環境良好，食物新鮮，味道不錯。但是，我點的GRILLED PRAWN一直到我先生吃玩了PIZZA跟Spaghetti ，仍未送來。跟服務生反應了幾次，雖然他們態度不錯，但卻愛莫能助。最後一次，年紀較長的一位服務生跟我說"Im very sorry. I told the kitchen but they just yelled at me". 最後，因為實在太晚了，也等累了，決定買單走人了。雖然說新開的餐廳難免會有這種忙不過來的狀況，但是，先是下錯單(我要A食物，但是卻來B前菜)，後又是先生的pasta下錯麵種，接著又是等了近一個半小時，餐廳從客滿到只剩下四桌，我的蝦還是沒有來，真是令人而且令我納悶的是，餐廳的老闆一直在跟他的朋友吃飯聊天，甚至吃完後還特地過來跟我們旁邊桌的客人(聽他們的對話，應該也是相識的)聊天，但是對於新客人的不滿和前場和廚房的混亂卻沒有馬上處理，也是令我很疑惑! ANYWAY，我跟我先生都有吃了一肚子氣的感覺，不會再去了!

Teahouse Out, Steak House InAt High Street, restaurants came and went recently. A teahouse (茶餐廳) moved and expanded to 2 (adjacent) shops, then closed one, and then disappeared altogether. A Chinese fusion restaurant, unable to make ends meet, was revamped into selling Japanese cuisine, and was winded up all the same. On the other hand, a man selling chicken (well, not the colonel) pops up here; then Memo's.The evolution, it seems, is not over. I always believe that the area would become "
