Got invited my lovely sister for a birthday dinner, we both wanted to find a quiet place for a secret girls' talk yet with excellent food, so she has chosen this cuisine which we had a few pleasant lunch experiences in the past.生日將至, 親愛的妹妹相約我來一頓慶生晚餐。因為想找一家又能靜靜地談心又能享受高質素食物的地方, 想起之前曾在這家藝廊餐廳吃過質素很高的午餐, 所以在這特別的日子又來到這裡慶祝~The good thing about this cafe is that it's partially an art gallery and partially a cafe, once you step into the cafe, you will be surrounded by various art pieces, this help relaxin

The good thing about this cafe is that it's partially an art gallery and partially a cafe, once you step into the cafe, you will be surrounded by various art pieces, this help relaxing ones mind from the busy everyday life.
很喜歡這家餐廳的一點是它既是藝廊也是餐廳, 每次踏進餐廳就會被不同的藝術作品包圍, 它能使我從繁忙的生活中逃離出來, 得到喘息。
Cafe's Foie Gras special 香煎鵝肝 The foie gras was really juicy and yet it was not oily at all. Credits should definitely go to the apple slice with caramel + orange skin with honey. The slightly sour apple coated with burnt caramel as well as the orange skin dipped with honey created a perfect balance with the foie gras. This is for sure one of the most recommended dishes for the night!
鵝肝很香嫩多汁卻又不會有油膩感~ 伴碟的焦糖蘋果片和橙皮蜜糖絕對應記一功! 烤焦了的焦糖包裹著微酸的蘋果片、帶甘的香橙皮和甜甜的蜜糖與略帶咸味的鵝肝形成絕佳的平衡感, 為這道菜提供了一種很新鮮有趣的味道! 這絕對是最值得推介的菜式之一~
Salad: Crab meat avocado / Tuna 沙律: 蟹肉牛油果 / 吞拿魚 Knowing that I'm sharing the dishes with my sister, the waitress smartly placed the dishes in an angle, creating an interesting and artistic presentation of the two dishes, good job! Crab meat was rich and tasty while the creamy avocado provided an interesting texture for the salad. As for tuna, it was tender without any tendon, very fresh!
由於是二人共享各道菜式, 服務員刻意把兩道沙律斜放於桌上, 呈現出有趣的擺放效果, 值得一讚! 蟹肉的味道非常濃郁, 配上入口即溶的牛油果, 製造出有趣又特別的口感! 至於吞拿魚則是非常柔軟新鮮, 並且一點筋也沒有, 很出色!
Entrée: Black truffle risotto / White wine with clam 前菜: 黑松露意大利飯 / 白酒煮蜆 Black truffle's taste was strong. The risotto was quite creamy yet it was not too heavy! As for the clams, they were big! Most of them were as big as the risotto spoon! The sauce was a bit too rich and without any white wine taste. A personal recommendation is to include a slice or two of bread to go with the dish. People can then enjoy the sauce as well
意大利飯有香濃的黑松露味道, 而且雖然有濃郁的奶油味, 卻並不會覺得很膩。至於蜆, 每一隻蜆的尺寸也很大, 差不多有飯匙的大小! 唯一的缺點是那汁略咸, 也沒有白酒的味道。如果方圓能提供一兩片麵包伴碟, 那客人們就能以麵包沾白酒汁來享用這道菜~
Soup: Mushroom cream soup 湯: 野菌忌廉湯 Rich and creamy mushroom soup, bread were hot and crispy! I was told that the bread were heated when they were about to serve the soup to ensure freshness of the bread, what a committment towards fresh and good food! Balsamic vinegar was definitely the highlight! SR Gallerry Cafe got a secret recipe for their homemade vinegar. It's much thicker and sweeter than the one we usually have. I love it so much that I'll ask for their vinegar to go with the bread everytime I have lunch here!
野菌非常濃郁及奶油~ 因為方圓很著重麵包的新鮮度, 所以每次都是要呈上湯時才即時弄熱麵包, 因此麵面不單熱, 表面也還是脆的! 不過要說最精彩的卻是方圓秘製的陳年葡萄醋! 它比一般市面上的陳醋要濃稠些, 甜度也更高一點。我每次到方圓用餐也會要求這醋的! 絕對要試!
Main course: Lamb rack / Lobster bavette 主菜: 香草烤羊架 / 龍蝦扁麵 The lamb rack was medium raw, again, very juicy. It was already very delicious even without any meat or mint sauce. The lamb didn't have any "mutton" smell as many of the similar dishes do. Also, the mint sauce was homemade! Personally, I will prefer a stronger mint flavour than the existing one, but still a very nice sauce. The portion was huge too! Talking about the portion, the lobster bavette was surprisingly big! I was really shocked by the portion of the dish! One whole piece of meaty lobster was used! A perfect dish for men! The bavette was cooked with lobster and tomato sauce, yammy!
烤羊架是半熟的, 非常幼嫩~ 即使不沾隨碟附上的肉汁或薄荷汁也都已經非常美味! 這羊架沒半點腥味, 非常好吃! 薄荷汁也是自家製的。個人希望它能再薄荷一點, 不過現在的也不錯~ 羊架份量也足~ 提到份量, 龍蝦扁麵的份量真的非常多~ 看到它被端上來的真的嚇了一跳! 原隻波士頓龍蝦??? 而且非常肥美! 方圓真的不吝嗇食材呢~ 對男士來說絕對是能飽肚的量! 扁麵是用龍蝦汁和蕃茄汁煮成的, 好好吃!
Dessert: Panna Cotta / Chocolate Lava Cake 甜品: 奶凍 / 心太軟 The panna cotta was rich and not too sweet, good! And if you are chocolate lovers, you must try this Lava Cake! The melted chocolate was not too sweet yet thick and rich! The cake itself got a strong chocolate flavour too and again, not very sweet. I was filled with satisfaction when eating the melted chocolate with the vanilla ice-cream! Of course, the whole dinner was completed with a cup of good coffee!!
奶凍有非常香濃的奶味, 卻不會太甜, 非常好! 若閣下是巧克力的愛好者, 就絕不能錯過這道心太軟! 巧克力醬很濃稠又濃郁同時甜度也適中~ 蛋糕本身也有香濃巧克力味亦不太甜。當我把雲尼拿雪糕和巧克力醬混合在一起吃的時候, 全身也都充滿幸福感呢~ 當然, 這一頓十分出色的晚餐要以一杯香濃的咖啡作為結束~
When one look at the price, they may think that spending around $600 per head is quite expensive. I used to think the same too. However, when considering the portion and the quality of food, plus the atmosphere the venue provides and the glass of nice wine included (by booking via openrice), the meal worth the money spent. If you want to spend a quality night with someone your treasure, this is certainly a nice option for consideration!
也許看到晚餐需要約$600一位的時候, 你會猶豫這到底值不值。我本來也有這疑問, 但如果考慮到餐廳環境、食物的份量以及質素, 再加上(經開飯訂檯而送的)餐酒, 這個價值是物有所值的~ 如果有天你想跟重要的人吃一頓高質素的飯, 方圓會是一個不錯的選擇啊~
