上次與友人S在榮川的飯局,她搶著埋單,今次到她生日,輪到我作東一次,有來有往,才是朋友之間相處之道.

她的工作時間很"弔詭",每天朝十二晚九,唯有相約在她的放假日,便輪到我要上班,晚飯地點只能在小弟工作附近餐廳中選擇.我問她想吃些什麼,她說沒有所謂.我提議: (不如去一間你同我都未吃過的菜式.)我所講的,就是阿根廷菜.在香港的阿根廷菜館,十年來一直只得蘇豪士丹頓街的La Pampa,如今多了一間阿根廷餐廳,就是Dining concepts旗下的"Tango",地點在雲咸街嘉兆大廈二樓,即是昔日"Bombay Dreams"的位置.

小弟對阿根廷文化認識不深,在早年"春光乍洩"一片,看到戲中兩位主角 - 黎耀輝與何寶榮,兩個在布宜諾斯艾利斯,愛得轟烈又苦澀.身為英格蘭球迷,當然痛恨阿根廷,廿多年前馬勒當拿一記上帝之手,怎善忘也不會忘記,碧咸被施蒙尼用奸招害,其副討人厭咀臉還歷歷在目.但我對阿根庭菜,實在沒多大認識,極其量是牛肉,或者紅酒.其牛肉同巴西牛一樣,同樣被看低一線.沒法子,大多人也走去吃和牛.從此阿根廷牛,便被世俗的眼光看扁.

餐廳環境與同系的Bistecca一樣較為casual,以深啡木色作主調,牆上貼了一些阿根廷舊電影海報.餐廳的窗全部打開,秋涼時份坐在窗旁,吹一吹微風,倍感寫意,但窗口位一早已比人訂下,我們只能坐在開放式廚房前面.隱約地也聞到一陣炭燒味.果然別有"風味".本來這夜是三人行,可惜女友有點不適而不能赴會.

大家對此國家菜式認識不深,拿起餐牌,便選上一些平時少見的菜式,一定不會錯.好像棕欖樹的樹心,別處所無.西班牙人曾管過阿根廷,自然有Morcilla 血腸,還有類似Cornish pasties的Traditional Argentine savoury pasties.

友人S平日喜歡喝紅酒,與我一樣喝平價貨色,吃扒實在少不了紅酒,因為開瓶費要$200一支,在酒牌上揀更為化算,反正阿根廷酒身價並不貴,最平一支由$270起,她想要偏向木味,我選了一支阿根廷的Cabernet Sauvignon,$350一支,很抵喝.

餐前小吃是用香料燒成的薯仔粒,配上酸忌廉吃,如果作為開胃菜,則有點膩.

餐前麵包是普通法包,新鮮熱辣,外脆內軟,牛油同樣是普通貨色.無整色整水,如果麵包本身質素好,無須用到黑松露牛油來遮醜,有如一位天生麗質的女生,略施脂粉已傾到眾生.假若是"豬扒",任你用到名貴化妝品,也是一樣.

Morcilla Sausage是阿根廷血腸,混合了血,肉,脂肪.沒有血腥的感覺,味道香濃帶點甜,腸肉鬆化軟糯,友人已戒吃豬紅,當然不能吃血腸,結果我一個人獨享.

餡餅是Sweetcorn, Basil and Black Olive,外表金黃,入口香脆,但餡料份量不多,未能填得滿,我想起本地點心店"添好運"的雪山叉燒包,旺角店的叉燒包,叉燒塞到滿,但深水步分店的叉燒包,同此餡餅一樣,很有"空間感".

Hearts of Palm, Tomato, Avocado and Basil with golf dressing,是用樹芯做的沙律,對我未接觸過此味的人,當然有新鮮感,樹芯本身味道不強,用dressing來令到味道清甜,吃落的感覺有點似白露荀,加上底部的牛油果,鮮甜多汁的番茄,是值得向大家推介的沙律.

Tango內的牛扒,分好幾個部位,有Short ribs,fillet,sirloin,rump,T-Bone,rib-eye等等,如果不吃牛,也可點燒雞,羊,樽魚.牛扒除牛柳由八安士起之外,其他全部由十二安士起.對我當然綽綽有餘,但恐怕友人未必吃得下,於是便點了Gaucho Platter,二人份量的拼盤,內有Short ribs,rump,fillet.等一會,牛扒便燒好上檯,侍者見狀便加一句: (如果吃到一半,牛扒變凍的話,我們可以拿去加熱.上桌連鐵板上,"沙沙聲"作響.氣勢磅薄,連隨牛扒尚有好幾款醬料,有芥辣,橄欖醬等等.

我們要五成熟,炭香隨煙飄至,牛柳烤得焦香,內裏肉質粉紅,血水不斷流出,肉質鬆化,沒有牙也能吃.牛柳肉味很濃,很原始,加上炭燒香味,實在不知怎去形容有幾好吃.

另外的Rump,肉味同樣濃郁,質感更軟稔,邊位更帶有一些肥位,甘香又鬆化,不要看友人S打扮入時,思想前衛,她與我一樣喜歡吃懷舊菜如金錢雞,還有牛肉內的肥膏.Short ribs其實是大家在韓燒上,經常吃的牛肋骨.不過阿根廷的燒牛肋骨,是不用加醬料去燒,沒有韓式人工化的甜,只有天然的肉香,和軟稔的感覺.此拼盤一次過滿足三個願望.價錢為四百多,夠兩至三人分,比單一叫個十四安士肉眼三百幾銀,更為化算.

撐得肚皮漲起,聽聞Tango的甜品是"甜到漏"之級數,我倆也無福消受,繼續摸著酒杯,暢談風月.

其後阿根廷女經理,和大廚走出來問意見,友人給予稱讚,我說: (之前除了貝隆夫人,馬勒當拿和美斯之外,對阿根廷的事物一無所知,這夜的牛扒,很好吃.)大廚聽罷大喜,高興地說美斯是他最喜歡的球員.都說用足球來打開話題,果然很管用,當然我沒有表明自己是英格蘭球迷,深入一點再說到福克蘭戰役,恐怕他倆面色會大變,反過了我要高歌一曲"Don't cry for me Argentina"來安撫了.

    Reservations: We walked in at 7pm on a Tuesday without a reservation and there were two other tables already seated. Restaurant started filling up around 730pm, so reservations are probably recommended.

    Ambiance: Warm and inviting decor, with lovely old Spanish movie posters on the walls, and interesting touches throughout (such as the faux chandelier made of overturned glasses in the entrance). Rustic chic.

    Service: Very friendly and efficient, without being cloying. While most new establishments usually have to iron out kinks in their service, everything ran surprisingly smoothly. Then again, it wasn't very busy while we were there so the real test would be a busy weekend night or with a large group.

    Food: The two of us shared a couple of starters, a steak with sides, and a dessert. Our thoughts on the dishes were pretty unanimous:

    - Yellowtail Tuna & Watermelon Ceviche - The tuna could've used a bit more marinating time/seasoning, and while the watermelon was a nice idea, it really did nothing to complement the fish...perhaps b/c the watermelon tasted a bit under ripe.

    - Roasted Pumpkin Salad w/ Goat Cheese & Arugula - Another under-performer. The pumpkin was still quite hard despite having been roasted, and lacked the sweetness from the caramelization that usually comes with being seasoned and roasted properly. The goat's cheese was but a mere dab - why so stingy? - and while goat's cheese and arugula is usually a winning combination for me when contrasted with a fresher or sweeter flavor, the two played a lonesome twosome in this dish.

    - 12oz Argentinian Sirloin, w/ sides of Roasted Sweet Potatoes w/ Rosemary and Hearth Roasted Onion w/ Balsamic Vinegar - Presentation of the steak itself was rather impressive. The meat is front and centre of a long serving dish, still sizzling as it arrives, surrounded by 6 different accompanying sauces (I particularly enjoyed the salsa and chimichurri). The sirloin was beautifully charred on the outside, and slightly overcooked on the inside (we'd ordered it Medium Rare, but it showed up more Medium). Perhaps it was a leaner cut of sirloin than I normally prefer, or perhaps it was too thick a slab, but the meat really wasn't as tender as I'd hoped and required quite a bit of chewing. The sweet potatoes were simple but very tasty, as was the roasted whole onion with the drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

    - Dulche de Leche Flan - This was a definite winner! A slice of flan, with a scoop of fresh cream and dulce de leche (milk caramel)...absolutely to die for. It was a lovely way to round out a very underwhelming dinner.

    Overall, I would give Tango a second shot, if only to try either a different cut of steak, or a different main...and also for that flan, of course.

    Delicious Argentinean Beef Steak in Hong Kong
    2010-11-20 113 瀏覽
    I am not sure if this is the first Argentina steakhouse in Hong Kong. The first time I had Argentina-style beef steak was years ago when I was working in Latin America.

That meal was an unforgettably great surprise: the succulence, freshness and tenderness of Argentinean beef steak, together with the pleasant scent of wooden barrels, still circulate around my chain of memories. Since then, my positive impression of Argentina extended from its sexy soccer, marvelous landscape, attractive girls, to its delicious beef. I later realized that Argentineans are all beef lovers. The country has fantastic pasture that becomes cradle for such high quality beef comparable to American, Australian or Korean. I just could not wait longer to reserve a table when I learnt that Tango steak house has opened.

    The restaurant location is slightly above the top of Lan Kwai Fong, on the 1st floor of a commercial building with a sheltered balcony protruding outwards overlooking the street and the slope. There are big windows that can be completely opened to allow you to completely melt yourself into the environment. In the gentle wind on an autumn night, semi-open-air dining is a great choice. Yet if you are having a serious dinner discussion with your solemn business partner, I would suggest the dining hall instead, where you can shield yourself from the traffic noises that at times can be disturbing.

    Do not get me wrong. The dining hall is equally warm, romantic and comfortable. The colorful red bricks, the slow-turning ceiling fans, the soft light rays from lamps, and the black and white floor titles, etc. all help to fill the 800 square feet area with vivid atmosphere that you would love and expect in a Latin restaurant. Natural point of focus in the dining hall falls on a glowing grill furnace in the open kitchen. The Grill is the heart of the restaurant where all the nice steaks are being cooked, and it came originally from Argentina, not to mention the nice Argentinean chef himself! The same I was surprised, when I learnt that the very pretty Lady Manager is also from Argentina, and has just arrived at Hong Kong for just only 10 days! Like all Latin, central or south Americans who are passionate on food and fun, the lady manager always carries a lovely and sincere smile … so sweet that I even forgot to ask her the most important question – what’s your name?
    After describing the place, here comes the product. For starter, I ordered a platter of seafood in fruits in tasting portion: yellow tuna in watermelon, salmon in avocado, shrimp in tomato, nicely presented in 3 separate cocktail glasses. This appetizer was refreshing and helped in waking up my stomach for the main course. The price was however on the high side. There was also complimentary bread with butter that was a bit ordinary. Nothing wrong on the bread here, just some restaurants do it better.

    I cannot take wines but I am sure there is a good collection of new world Argentina wines in the wine cellar. Next to the wine cellar is a glass store with signature hams hanging down from the ceiling. All these creat a delicious atmosphere and further arouses my appetite.

    For main course, I would not forgive myself if I did not order beef steak and that’s the purpose why I was here! Indeed I tried both filet and rib-eyes, both medium-done. Side dish has to be separately ordered and I picked eggplant in vinegar-like sauce. When the steaks arrived, they were served separately with 6 different sauces. Yet what really attracted me was the pleasant odor of natural wooden barrels that spread out from the steaks. Yes, this was the familiar scent that I know about Argentinean beef steak. Taste of filet and rib-eye steaks were both rich and tender – any difference between the two was just a personal preference. And I had my steaks without sauce just to enjoy the original taste of the beef itself. The steaks were no doubt of prime quality, even though they still could not beat those that I had in Latin America. Price was medium and similar to any steakhouse in 5-stars hotels in town.

    Following the main course was a sweet surprise – the dessert. After looking at the dessert menu, I had 2 choices in my mind and one of them was called “Don Pedro”. And this became my final pick naturally after Assistant Manager Cruz recommended this to me. “Don Pedro” is as simple as homemade soft vanilla ice-cream with walnuts and whisky on it. The whisky was added before you. No gimmick here but the combination of ice-cream, walnut and whisky altogether was just perfect. At times after dinner, one may have these 3 common elements separately, yet they mixed so amazingly well to give a sweet surprise highlight of the meal! Price-wise, it is very reasonable given the fact that the portion is good for two persons to share. For those that had other choice of dinner in Lan Kwai Fong area and were just looking for a specialty western dessert plus a coffee to spend the rest of your relaxing night, I would strongly recommend this “Don Pedro” in Tango.

    After the dessert, I relaxingly enjoyed my latte to mark the completion of my very nice meal. This is a new restaurant and so there are only a few tables on Sunday night. As a result, I found myself having good enough attention from the restaurant crews, yet still had my own private time to chat and take pictures. And the food came at just the right pace, not too fast (it is fine dining!), not too slow (it is HK!). It was an enjoyable Argentinean night.
