Please Don't Tell (裝修中)

鼎鼎大名的PDT已經嚟咗香港文華東方一段日子，終於有空的起心肝同朋友去試吓。入門口個下超級有驚喜（佢個門口本身隱藏係個電話亭入面，要襟啱數字先會開門，同拖友仔去一流流）嘢飲方面價錢雖然有啲貴，但環境氣氛加埋用嘅材料都值回票價，點左兩杯signature cocktail，味道做得算係幾平衡，唔會係果種死甜爛甜嘅「糖水cocktail」。我自己個杯用咗日本清酒做其中一隻配料，輕身得來感覺幾有東方味，如果再加返多啲層次感會更加perfect! 最後小驚喜係經理超nice，原本拎錯咗甜品過嚟，佢決定送多一客俾我哋，超開心！

終於都星期五啦! 估唔到呢間secret bar 除咗飲品選擇多，啲嘢食都唔錯喎Secret bar 位置超方面。其實就係文華酒店個Mo Bar 入面。去到門口可以問Mo bar 職員，佢會教你點去。上樓梯之後見到個電話亭，按1字，之後就會有人開門俾你架啦 (不過而家好似無咁secure, 好似推一推門就開到咁嘅 😔) 除咗飲品，呢到嘅熱狗都好出名，我地就叫咗Yankee, 用豬肉腸同bacon 整，加埋啲mustard 同洋蔥，好惹味 食完仲想食 😂 叫埋個Takoyaki Tots, 原來係好似細細粒嘅薯餅咁。不過配咗平時點八爪魚丸個啲醬，好上癮

The child's in India and it's the hubster and I here. That means doing what we haven't in the past couple of years - hitting the bars. First up is Please Don't Tell located in Mandarin Oriental.I will tell, though.The husband was in charge of finding a place to bring in twelve years of being married. When the husband had called them for reservations, they'd mentioned that we could walk in.When I got there around 19:15, the lady at the counter of the MO Bar told me that there was a long wait, aft

近期，speakeasy bars 在港成為潮流，不少潮人都紛紛去打卡。其中，Please Don’t Tell (PDT) 在紐約甚具代表性，獲獎無數。來到香港，現座落於在置地文華的隱蔽一角，最適合一眾想逃離現實的上班族放鬆一下。在classy的環境中，配以Gin Tonic。除了cocktail外，PDT的熱狗實在令人驚喜。我點了一個Nippo Dog，熱狗外層的的麵包原來不是餐包，是烘過的多士，十分香脆。此外，香腸加麵包糠炸過，外脆內軟，配以燒汁，酸的醃製蘿蔔，十分醒胃。是一流的送酒小食。

這家酒吧的紐約總店享負盛名、獲獎無數，不少網站都有介紹它，並且顧客的評價也相當高。到底有否名過其實呢？冰塊在香港留意使用冰塊的種類，就能了解該酒吧的檔次。PDT使用的冰塊是完整方型的大冰，符合了$150一杯cocktail的水準，不過可以細心留意old fashioned和negroni的冰塊邊緣凹凸不平，相信是備料時切冰後，再放回去冷藏所做成的，這裡有點細遺憾。CocktailPDT的cocktail每一杯都是balance和smooth。就是每一種材料都不會成分(e.g酒、檸檬汁、糖等)cocktail的主調，大家都互相調和，並且奉上冷凍的調酒。能夠滿足以上的條件，在香港卻是難能可貴。環境在這高級酒店的環境卻沒有一項可以挑剔的。不論是內𥚃的裝潢，酒吧最容易環境惡劣的洗手間都有五星級酒店的水準。再加上剛進去門口的電話亭，卻是令人帶點神秘感。雖然PDT存酒的種類可似不多，但靠著自家強大的PDT recipes卻可以彌補這個缺點。服務這家是樂於與顧客聊天和勤力；如果有去過的讀者都會察覺，相對於其他西式酒吧，這𥚃的員工數是比般多。不過就算是滿座的時候，仍然會維持著一定的服務水準，其中一位b

Please Don't Tell is the Hong Kong branch of the famed Please Don't Tell speakeasy located in the East Village in NYC. Their entrance is very secretive, located up a staircase from the MO Bar in the Landmark Mandarin Oriental. You step in to the telephone booth, press a few buttons and someone will come retrieve you on the other side. Insideyou'll find an intimate area seating  20 around the bar. There are a few booths surrounding that with plush leather seats, a great place to spend an evening

這please don't tell 位比較細，超級迫迫迫！！！ 服務人手不足，儘管 staff既attitude算 good ，但幾乎什麼也要久等。明明訂了 seven o'clock, 來到竟沒有位。但問題是： 此 cocktail bar 要求客人訂枱要先收minimum charge 訂金$1500 !!! 但七點來到竟然沒---有----位!!!這樣是 Mandarin Oriental 該自豪的 service與水平 嗎？？？！！！罵了後，當然沒有 minimum charge (但也接近) , 但自己也不特別希望再來了。

這晚聚會實在令人期待！朋友指定要去的bar，說是好神祕的，入口不好找🧐終於到了這晚，一行人約在酒店大堂等候，由於沒有訂定位，幸好時間尚早，等了10分鐘便有位了！其實bar的樓下亦是另一bar，只是我們要經過大堂酒吧再上樓梯，上完樓梯，只見一個電話庭，waiter叫我們在這裡等等⋯⋯等了等，便叫我們4個人走入電話庭，起初以為是升降機，很緊張，之後要接電話「1」字，另一隻門便開了，gimmick 就是這樣來這裡的人主要是happy hour，但我們就是來吃dinner ，其實吃的選擇真的不多，所以⋯⋯這晚就變成了hot dog & tots之夜，我們不停encore 這兩款🤷🏻‍♀️Tater TotsHot dog好吃👍🏻我們點了Nippon dog, Chili dog。飲品方便，我們點了Silver fox, Tuffnut’s tonic, 也不錯啊！店內的裝飾⋯⋯是挺特別的🙄這裡確是一個gathering的好地方👍🏻唯有不好的，是waitress會常過來整理桌面，令我們覺得很想我們快快埋單🤦🏻‍♀️⋯⋯確實，當我們座了兩個多小時，在沒有叫埋單得情況下，waitress忽熱遞上賬單🤷🏻
