jan 06, 12...............很期待的1餐..............2人嚟lunch.........叫咗 :

1) starter (免費)
-有3款小食
-匙羮仔內喺咩材料就唔清楚,不過就有煙薰出嚟嘅味道,小小的1口食完,真不夠喉
-而個橙黃色的,有點芝士波feel,有芝士味得嚟又酥鬆,又有點甜味,味道上很好的snack,不過食友覺得甜咗些少
-最平凡就喺有幾片radish嗰件,只喺個pastry底好酥鬆同牛油味最可取

2) assorted bread (免費)

-麵包環節又點可缺少呀
-呢度嘅安排喺每人1份,1份4款
-有mini baguette,薄脆片,芝士包同長條形嘅牛油包
-我同食友都覺得中間有芝士嘅麵包最好食,因裡面嘅芝士溶開咗,微乾身,而旁邊嘅麵包就喺軟,相對地有層次嘅變化........所以我同食友都encore咗呢個
-不過佢嘅牛油就普通咗d因都食唔到牛油香味

3) 4 courses x 2 (@hk$468+98)
i) 1st course
a) raw oyster with fresh ginger
-mackerel rilletes, frozen banana, celeriac remoulade with turmeric
-無諗過1碟有3隻咁多,所以waiter都話淨喺呢個course都好高成本
-平時食生蠔個focus都會全部放喺隻蠔本身,最多咪伴以檸檬汁/茄汁/辣汁
-但呢個唔同,蠔都仍喺1線,不過就有mackerel蓉墊底作為2線陪襯
-咁樣嘅食法,都喺第1次試
-食友比咗1隻我食
-店方很細心已將蠔1分為2,可以食得優雅1點.........1口1舊
-蠔就新鮮,帶爽脆,不過蠔鮮味就唔明顯,mackerel蓉味道清淡,帶點鹹味,整體都好夾味
-另外的芹頭沙律,據waiter解釋喺用來清味蕾之用,所以食完1隻蠔,就食1小球........上網check過芹頭沙律最啱配海鮮食
-當芹頭沙律從我身旁端上枱時,已聞到mustard味,幸好食落唔搶,反被沙律嘅酸味蓋咗,所以食友略嫌酸度強咗d


b) poached egg
-spicy red pepper, crispy bacon, celery, smooth arugular/ vinegar cream
-我聽到waiter嘅推介,所以喺佢同另1道button mushrooms揀咗佢
-教我撈均嚟食
-隻蛋黃好橙紅色又澎湃........唔記得影相添
-所有材料都可以比蛋汁蓋過
-有火箭菜,脆薄麵包片,炸煙肉同火箭菜sauce,亦有番茄sauce,所以食落帶點酸,整體味道比較原味,調味唔重手,1d都唔膩

ii) middle course
a) foie gras soup
-red currant jelly and arbutus berry syrup, lamb's lettuce salad
-呢個喺pierre絶頂signature嘅dish
-試咗食友1啖,真喺好鵝肝味.........不過唔記得問佢喺鵝肝定鴨肝嚟
-為咗令個湯無咁單調,所以亦+有紅加侖子嘅啫喱粒同鵝肝粒,酸酸哋嘅味道相信喺用嚟解膩,而鵝肝粒就將湯嘅鵝肝味推高
-10分gd,的確實至名歸喺signature
-lamb's lettuce我就無試了


b) eggplant cannelloni
-with snails
-我初時睇menu以為真喺pasta嚟,原來喺由茄子皮卷到長筒形
-裡面就stuff咗蝸牛
-蝸牛肥大,有其原味
-個sauce雖然深色,但1點都唔鹹,茄子皮亦煮到入晒味,但唔會腍埋1pat
-相對foie gras soup,呢個即時被比下去了~~~~格離飯香也~~~~

c) parmesan cheese croquettes (送)
-tomato/ watercress/ mascarpone mosaic
-食友講過好有興趣呢,估唔到店方竟然比個驚喜我哋.........送比我哋食
-croquettes炸得薄脆,裡面嘅芝士已溶掉
-伴底嘅蔬菜puree,番茄sauce就可以平衡番個炸物
-ok的

iii) main course
a) lobster salpicon
-citrus virgin sauce, pasta seasoned with bisque
-見其他食家寫佢嘅龍蝦菜色都處理得出色........今天嘅menu只得這個龍蝦煮法
-聽waiter嘅介紹,喺用咗d帶酸味嘅生果做出呢個sauce,例如有tangerine,citrus,lime等,佢仲話喺比較oriental
-仲教埋我個食法,可以食邊樣先都得,只要唔好將意粉混埋龍蝦度1齊食就得喇
-又喺起晒泡嘅高級賣相
-食落就體會到咩叫oriental,因為食到生果,番茄酸味外,仲有點香草味,微辣味,亦有少少果仁碎,所以味道有點複雜,好東南亞feel,完全唔喺西餐嘅味道
-龍蝦肉新鮮因爽口,juicy,不過鮮味度就無嘜,配呢個汁,就喺覺得唔多夾
-反而個貓耳朵意粉+龍蝦肉粒同個龍蝦濃湯汁就有我想要嘅海鮮味,而且個貓耳朵仲有點咬口添........enjoy個pasta多過個主角

b) grilled/ glazed sliced pork belly
-conchiglie pasta and clams with fresh herbs
-食友聽完waiter嘅介紹後,就決定試豬腩肉
-呢個都喺幾高危嘅西餐菜式,因唔易煮得好食
-食友切咗少少比我試吓
-有肉質,好juicy,好鬆,夠油份,個肉嘅質素好高
-另外味道亦煮得好好
-呢個喺我食過最好味嘅pork belly, well well executed
-個貝殼粉我就無試到喇

 c) pierre potatoes (送)

-本來呢個喺其1 main course - sardine box嘅side dish
-因食友同佢講薯仔喺佢嘅好朋友...........好鍾意食
-所以慷慨地安排了2人份量來........食友開心不已
-薯仔好有薯味,薄脆,原來唔喺炸出嚟,而喺用慢火炒到脆身嘅效果........咁咪要炒好耐?.......真喺心機嘢
-底下嘅puree仲+有少少鵝肝
-waiter教我哋結合1齊大啖大啖咁食先好

iv) desserts
a) lajoux laury
-cubes of caramelized milk jelly coated in coconut milk, frozen banana, marshmallow, lime wurtz, passion fruit sherbet
-又到叫甜品嘅時候........waiter經過同我哋成餐飯嘅交流之後.........問咗我哋有咩唔食同有咩鍾意食後..........就幫我哋發板叫來2個甜品
-見我哋食咗咁多嘢,來個酸酸哋醒神嘅甜品都好
-同樣要大口大口咁食先好
-好有熱情果味,不過輕輕酸咗d
-香蕉片有熟成香甜味
-後來多口問waiter淺咖黃色嘅jelly喺咩嚟.........佢解釋喺由奶用大火煲,燒去水份,令個奶嘅concentration提高,兼煲到焦色
-不過個人覺得椰絲棉花糖同整體唔多夾,可能我自己麻麻哋椰絲綿花糖

b) iced toasted hazelnut mousse
-aged malt fudge, seabuckthorn pulp, clementine segments
-賣相好精緻
-個棒子mousse很香,甜度適中,gd
-食完後回家上網,先知道sea buckthorn嘅橙紅色果實喺有益的,有維他命,抗氧化同其他營養等


c) traditional galette des rois (送)
-pear ice cream
-唔知推架車仔出嚟做嘜,原來waiter話呢個喺經理為我哋安排.........真喺驚喜1浪接1浪
-食友講番個中文名比我知.........喺皇帝批呀..........我好鍾意呢個甜品架.........1來唔多餐廳有..........2來呢個喺法國1月份先會食嘅甜品
-今次咁橋喺season
-好濃牛油味,入口仲好暖熱,所以更攻出那股香氣,裡裡外外都鬆化,甜度適中
-另外伴個啤梨味雪糕,勝在梨香味同甜度自然,腦裡就聯想到澳洲熟啤梨嗰種香甜
-好食到只能夠講i like it so much n so much
-食友就同waiter喺度交流......我都無+入吹水........sorry,無禮貌嘅我只顧食食食~~~美食在前,我個嘴好忙,唔得閒搭訕~~~~

v) drinks
a) hot coffee
-食友話好濃,好似4杯expresso咁


b) hot lemon water

後記

1) 店內環境

2) view.........不過當日天色唔好


3) 食物賣相靚...............味道很好.................每隻碟都夠熱度............服務好好,又細心..........未落單前嘅菜色介紹同推介都很詳盡同專業............對每道菜嘅煮法都好清楚........仲送咗3個驚喜比我哋..............原來serve我哋嘅kevin喺headwaiter.........呢度喺1間全面性地有水準嘅餐廳

4) 我都有諗過點解店方會送咁多嘢比我哋.............可能喺1開始食友同waiter講佢前排去amber嘅唔好味經歷............所以今次盡量滿足食友嘅要求............而且亦話比waiter知呢餐喺我哋嘅開年飯..........上年我哋(連同另1食友)開年飯就喺1f嘅mandarin grill + bar.............我今次就叨食友光,先有咁多美味嘅優惠~~~~~好開心好滿足~~~~
