別了!Foie Gras!


摘自蘋果日報 26/2/2006

法國近日連續在兩隻死野鴨發現H5N1禽流感病毒,農業部昨再證實東南部一個火雞場爆發禽流感,火雞感染H5N1病毒,該農場遭即時封閉並屠宰所有火雞,由於法國家禽農場已有多項防範禽流感措施仍爆發禽流感,令人擔心疫情失控。

本港食環署發言人昨晚表示,已即時暫停處理從法國進口雪藏或冰鮮禽肉及禽類內臟的申請,署方已向法國有關方面要求提供檢疫及相關資料,待接獲資料評估情況後,才會考慮是否恢復進口,目前未知何時回復正常,至於禽肉罐頭及禽類內臟罐頭,由於經消毒處理風險較低,故不在禁止進口之列。市面出售的法國禽肉及內臟目前無需回收。

香港餐飲聯業協會會長黃家和表示,港人近年流行食鵝肝,市場需求量頗大,鵝肝主要來自歐洲、東南亞及內地,當中頂級的法國鵝肝、鴨肝多為酒店及高級西餐廳選用作頭盤或主菜材料,相信禁入口措施對這些高檔食肆最受影響。

香港洲際酒店公共關係及傳訊經理傅嘉恩稱,該酒店所有餐廳均選用法國鵝或鴨肝,其中法國餐廳Spoon的主打新派法國菜蒸鴨肝伴無花果沙律,更屬於法國的頂級新鮮鴨肝,政府禁止法國鵝或鴨肝入口對酒店有一定影響。她透露餐廳只有約一星期存貨量,售罄後或需暫停供應鵝或鴨肝菜。

H5N1關注組成員勞永樂醫生稱,感染禽流感病毒的鵝、鴨內臟亦可能帶有病毒,屠宰禽類處理肝臟的人有受感染風險,而一般的烹調方法可消滅病毒,把鵝肝煮至中央位置達攝氏七十度以上,或沒有血水滲出便可安全食用。

法國是歐盟最大家禽產品生產國,每年產值達五百五十億港元,禽流感對行業造成嚴重打擊,本土銷量應聲下挫三成。

快來喝清酒 !松崎晴雄老師訪港了!



日本清酒節 2006
Date: 17-26 Feb, 2006
Venue: city'super 銅鑼灣時代廣場店

2006年的日本清酒節即將開始,我們已於日本各地搜羅了多款典藏清酒,由純米大吟釀、大吟釀、純米酒至本釀造,所有佳釀均待你前來一一鑑賞。還特地邀請多個釀酒商到來香港,將其最優質的清酒細意介紹給顧客們。而被視為日本國寶的清酒,背後的歷史悠久非常,追溯至西元3世紀之文字記載,已發現飲用清酒的史實。以米、麴及水發酵並過濾而得之的日本清酒,色澤呈淡金黃,味道溫和,層次甜而豐富,可塑性非常高,能於飲食時調整不同溫度來配合各類美食佳餚。

為了將清酒文化更進一步帶入香港,除場內的清酒試飲及展銷,期間還特別安排了清酒講座、特色的清酒雞尾酒試範、有獎遊戲,另於citysuper新城市廣場店之superlife culture club,更設清酒研習班,由著名清酒評家- 松崎晴雄先生主講,如果喜歡同時嚐得清酒與美食,更不能錯過我們與兩大酒店日本合作泡製之日本清酒晚宴。

這兩瓶 NAPA, 唉.........




昨天走到九龍城吃泰國菜,這家叫泰苑的店子位於熟食街巿三樓,嚐過冬蔭公湯、咖哩蟹、炸蝦餅、芋頭飯、炒貴勺、沙爹雞串燒、鹹肉炒芥蘭、泰式生蝦等等,食物質素平平,但勝在價錢便宜,每人消費約HK$100。

至於這兩瓶 Napa,是壞不壞,是老不老,總之古古怪怪。唉!酒主連嘆多聲,失望而回。

1995 Opus One Cabernet Blend Napa Valley
木桶系的香味很明顯,奶油巧克力及toffee香很吸引,也有醋粟和黑莓的香氣,但入口卻出奇地單薄,甜美有餘,但力度不足,感覺得散渙,半小時後酸度明顯,餘韻短。

1995 Chateau Montelena Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Montelena Estate
最開時很濃的咖啡香、還有香料味,半小時後透出黑莓香,再過半小時帶很濃的礦物味,入口還有輕微的corked味,但酒體不俗,奇怪。再擱半小時,只滲出微微果香,口感沒有多大改善。

2000 Domaine Jean Grivot Bourgogne Chardonnay
?梨及芝麻香,木桶味很強,中度口感,餘韻帶苦澀。

星期六, 2月 18, 2006

2002 Domaine Louis Trapet Chambertin
帶著藍莓的香氣, 口感卻單調, 沒有chambertin 應有的雄渾, 簡單。

2000 Chateau Haut Brion Graves
煙燻, 礦物及青草香, 但果香不顯, 口感很內歛, 沒有什麼味道, 但餘韻卻悠長, 似乎睡著了。

1998 Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac
Decant了一個多小時, 沒有甚麼香味, 用力搖晃才顯出深濃果香, 但一靜止又消失得無形無?, 不過, 口感卻很滑, 果味不俗, 餘韻也長。

1997 Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes
椰子及蜜糖香, 口感偏甜, 酒精顯, 都是Suduiraut的典型風格, 艷麗有餘, 典雅不足。

緊記自律!

明晚連場大戰,
先是同事聚餐,
再赴朋友慶生會,
美酒無限,但生命有價,
希望不會重蹈覆轍,醉倒街頭.
總之要自律,自律,自律........


 *曾在居所附近的長椅睡了一整晚,至今還被老婆揶揄!

是日晚餐

幾片土司,配上大姨送上的松露鵝肝,
加上一瓶簡單的 rioja,就是一頓豐盛的晚餐!

MORTON'S 美國西岸佳釀品酒宴



Morton's of Chicago, The Steakhouse將於3月2日(星期四)假其位於尖沙咀喜來登酒店的旗艦餐廳內舉辦美國西岸佳釀品酒宴。

品酒宴於6時半至8時半舉行,Golden Gate Wine Company將會推介四款美國西岸最受歡迎的名酒,全屬當地頂級精品酒莊之出品。

是次品酒宴將於Morton's Bar舉行,現場將備有多款餐前小吃,全都經精心挑選與各款佳釀相配。品酒宴定價每位港幣180元(另加一)。

負責介紹三款著名紅酒及一款白酒的是Golden Gate Wine Company創辦人Toby Marion。因品酒宴只能容納20人,賓客如欲光顧敬請預約。

當晚推介的佳釀與美食配搭包括:配以煙三文魚卷的Alderbrook Chardonnay Estate’s Dry Creek Valley 2002白酒、配炒野菌小點的Calera Pinot Noir, Central Coast 2002、配以炸雞肉條的Cline Small Berry Mourvedre, Contra Costa County 2003(此酒得《Wine Spectator》酒評雜誌給予87分極高評價)以及配以比利時菊苣藍芝士及小牛柳法式軟包的Turnbull Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2001。

Golden Gate Wine Company是專門入口加州、俄勒岡州及華盛頓州內小型酒莊出品的本地頂尖酒商,進口超過40個品牌約120款佳釀。

Toby Marion表示:「這些佳釀彰顯西岸中小型酒莊釀酒師的品質及創意。我們希望中港兩地的飲家都體會得到今時今日美國佳釀多采多姿、創新活躍的一面」。

Morton's坐享無敵維港及港島景色,向以質素獨步全球的牛扒及海鮮佳餚以及一系列招牌名菜及甜品享負盛名。著名甜品計有Morton’s經典焗暖心朱古力餅、焗梳乎厘(兩位用)、焗蘋果批以及直接由紐約布魯克斯空運到港的紐約芝士餅。

Morton's of Chicago, The Steakhouse位於尖沙咀喜來登酒店四樓,坐擁無敵維港景致。逢周一至周六由下午5時半起供應晚餐及提供飲料至晚上11時,周日則由下午5時營業至晚上10時。歡迎使用各大信用卡,訂座請電(852)2732 2343。

La Fleur



地址:灣仔進教圍16號地下
(皇后大道東,近以前大佛口食坊,聖佛蘭士街入)
電話:(852) 2866-7337
菜式:歐陸菜
消費:每人 HK$200-$300

酒友介紹的餐廳,開張只有一個多月,位於人跡罕至的灣仔舊區,駕車人士可以把坐駕停在門外,省回泊車費用。餐廳裝潢一般,法式小店格局,掛上南法風景畫,桃木椅桌,只能容納三十人左右,幾位穿便服的廚師擠在狹窄的開放式廚房造菜,油炸煎煮和烤焗聲不絕。

至於服務質素,當然難與酒店裡的餐廳比較,但侍者都親切有禮。酒杯是 Ikea貨色,也有齊香檳杯、小白酒杯,以及介乎 Bordeaux及 Burgundy 款式的紅酒杯,數量充足.最重要是不收開瓶費。

Set Dinner 四道菜,包括頭盤、湯、主菜、餐飲,價錢視乎主菜而定,一般約 HK$150,點鵝肝牛柳則收 HK$220。食物份量足,味道OK,某幾款菜式造得比較好,例如烤羊鞍、法式鴨腿、焗田螺等。雖然套餐不包括甜點,但老闆很多時候會奉送 homemade 甜點,吃過 Cheese Cake、Cr?me Burlee 和 Chocolate Mousse,很 raw,業餘水準,尚可。

A la carte 的選擇不少,頭盤價錢約為 HK$70,而主菜則大多是 HK$130左右,還是套餐來得划算。另外,這裡也供應海鮮,前陣子光顧過幾次,都點了生蠔,來自法國的 Cadoret 和 Belon 0000,愛爾蘭的 Irish Rock 都很新鮮,而且價錢合理。兩位用的海鮮盤,有生蠔、睡蟹、翡翠螺和玫瑰蝦等,約 HK$390。

整體而言,La Fleur 的食品質素尚算合格,以那裡的設備和人手,確實難造精緻的菜式,唯套餐價錢實惠和服務態度親切,而且平日客人不多,不失為三五知己把酒閒聊的好地方。

噢!竟然忘了看餐廳酒單..........

澳門一天遊


(以手機 Sony Ericsson W800i 拍攝, 效果不俗)

年初三往澳門走一趟,
先在港澳碼頭對面的賽車場吃意大利薄餅,
喝了一杯 House White Wine,猜不出品種,
侍者只說是來自葡國,其他資料一概不知.

其後到過剛落成的漁人碼頭,
又去金沙賭場碰碰運氣,
再走上松山燈塔看澳門全境.

松山一帶都是舊城區,
從二龍喉公園徒步返回巿中心,
兩旁的建築都是樓高四,五層的陳舊住宅,
理應式微的糧油雜貨店仍然成行成巿,
感覺如同兒時的上環,西營盤和石塘咀,
除了賭業興旺和新區發展較為迅速之外,
澳門舊城區這些年來好像變化不大.

來到澳門,好歹都要吃一頓葡國料理,
在媽閣廟附近都有不少知名的葡國餐廳,
這晚我們挑了有好幾十年歷史的船屋餐廳,
準確說,應該是船屋挑了我們,
因為假期的澳門,滿目遊客,
又適逢農曆新年,澳門人都出來喫餐館,
所有餐廳酒樓都擠得水洩不通,訂檯全滿
船屋也如是,我們準備離開之際,
剛好有客人提早結賬,老闆便讓我們一行五人擠在四人檯子用餐,
葡國雞,腰豆燉豬腳,海鮮燴飯都好吃,
香蒜馬介休更是一絕,可惜我們沒有點酒,
若有一瓶葡萄酒酒,這頓飯就更加完滿.
