Dear All,

The German Settlement of Langmeil was first established in 1843. In Feb 1996, three friends, Richard Linder, Chris Bitter and Carl Linder got together and undertook their first vintage at the winery. Respecting the tradition of the past, they have restored the old buildings and preserved the heritage of the property. Visitor to the winery today are able to taste a range of premium wines within the back drop of the 1840s vineyard.

載譽重來的大哥



前海景萬麗酒店歐陸餐廳 scala 的總廚 Ricky 自立門戶了,在工廠林立的柴灣區開了一家餐廳 ~ "Le Mieux Bistro",昨天在那裡替老婆慶祝生日,食物水準不俗,服務也算稱心.八道菜的 Dinner Set 索價 HK$400,相當合理,而且不收開瓶費.

至於我們尊稱大哥的 Ricky ,仍是那個模樣,廚房裡當大哥,指揮團隊做好每道菜.走到前台又變為優秀公關,手執一杯白酒與客人攀談,談笑風生.不過,眉宇間看到大哥比以往在大酒店當總廚時緊張多了,畢竟開店是孤注一擲的決定.

BTW,法國料理造詣甚深的大哥最愛的不是葡萄酒,而是一杯冰凍的啤酒.他最愛吃的可不是西餐,而是中菜,特別愛辛辣的菜式,難怪隨他旅行覓食的,不是黑醋,而是桂林辣椒醬!

水兵愛吧女




美國航空母艦小鷹號及三艘軍艦戰鬥群在香港展開一連四日的訪問,停泊於青馬大橋對開海面,5300多名官兵逗留本港期間除在港旅遊及購物外,更擔任義工參與社區服務,部分官兵便到香港保護兒童會在大圍的賽馬會學心幼兒學校親善探訪,又與本地兩個團體舉行籃球比賽。

日間做義工,晚上當嫖客。酒吧林立的灣仔區一時間沸騰起來,桌上舞酒吧的霓虹燈閃過不停,打扮野艷的菲律賓裔吧女不時與海軍官兵在街上大搖大擺拉拉扯扯,血氣方剛的青少士兵更忍不住與穿超短裙的「美眉」來個熊抱,甚至扭作一團。

老外的審美眼光似乎與華人差天拱地,他們懷中的菲裔美眉,在我們眼裡卻是醜到極點,難怪 Lucy Liu 在美國紅透半邊天。

Innovation.......................




這家餐廳名叫 "Bo Innovation"
店如其名, 菜式配搭創意無限,
昨晚的 16道菜, 把我嚇過死!
包括: 菜汁藍起司, 醬油汁香草冰淇淋,
蟹粉 souffle, 海膽南瓜布丁,
薑汁乳酪鱸魚, 鵝肝豆腐,
鹹醬生鮪魚, 凱撒沙拉脆筒,
魚子醬起司, 白松露糯米包鴿胸等等.

味道嘛, .............. 有成功也有失敗!
海膽南瓜布丁, 香草冰淇淋配醬油都很好吃,
但鹹醬生鮪魚有啖腐屍的感覺!
在座的老外卻很喜歡每一道菜,
認為能夠成功融合亞洲食材和風味,
(當然, 我對"成功"這個字眼絕對有保留.)
而Jancis Robinson 似乎也很喜歡這家店, 今年初還撰文褒獎.
( http://www.boinnoseki.com/html/press/robinson.jpg )

如閣下勇於嘗試新味道, 不怕死,
這家店或許合你意.

La Parole @ 青衣城



地址:香港青衣城商場地下 G02A 店
電話:(852) 2436 4099

$388 for 8 Courses
Corkage : $120 per bottle (店長說萬事有商量)

標榜是法式料理,
食材用料一般,
特別是海鮮的鮮度稍低!
但吃得出廚師在調味方面很用它茬B理肉類方面還算可以.
青檸雪葩和蘋果薄批很好吃!

侍者對葡萄酒似乎認識不多,
酒單裡的選擇有限,
而又缺少 Burgundy 杯子,
不過侍餐服務也算稱心.
