Happy Birthday ~ 海鮮篇




 



老友
LK 到機場接機。見面時問我想到哪裡晚膳慶祝生日。



毫不猶疑、二話不說便著他快載我到流浮山 我的海鮮飯堂 - 歡樂海鮮酒家。



吃了十多天西餐,實在很掛念地地道道的中國菜,特別是味道鮮甜、欲罷不能的新鮮海產。個人比較喜歡以最簡單的方法烹調海鮮,貪其鮮味無窮,原汁原味。



歡樂海鮮酒家是我經常捧場的海鮮館子,特別在我心情欠佳,諸事煩擾時,最喜歡帶支白酒或香檳留連那裡,暫且把懊惱拋諸腦後吃它一個淋漓痛快,把歡樂帶回給自己!喜歡那裡溫馨的感覺,原材料新鮮而且收費相宜。



多謝
LK

香檳配海鮮, 無懈可擊 !



Moet 2000 Brut
清新怡人、酸度均衡、味濃郁、一瓶充滿動感的香檳。

頗喜歡!一兩年後想必更討好。這瓶已是我喝的第四瓶了!







野生鮑魚 - 我的至愛 !

Italy Piedmont (1) ~ I am back !







Due to an accidental family matter with my partner, we were unable to visit Burgundy this time!

Only staying in Piedmont for the whole trip.

However, it was an experienced and pleasant journey.



I hope I can share some more about my trip and the scenery of the hilly Langhe with you asap.

Burgundy Wine Dinner @Harvey Nichols ( part 2 )




 


Thank you so much for Ming Ng, the Sommelier of Harvey Nichols in providing the following tasting notes !


 


 Alfred Gratien Cuvee Brut Champagne


Fine & persistent mousse, fruity and toasted aromas,


very well balanced.


 


Bourgogne Blanc, Domain Leroy 1997


Aged chardonnay style, very intense and elegant.


Aromas with a touch of lime, apple, blue cheese cantaloupe


and a little toasted light acidity. Medium-bodied.


 


Chambolle Musigny, A.-F. Gros 2003


Round, smooth, a brilliant red color.


Aromas of raspberries and wild violets.


Light to medium-bodied.


I think 2003 need to be kept 3 – 5 years.


 


Vosne Romanee Premier Cru - Gros Frere & Soeur 2004


Very aromatic, full-bodied with sweet spice on nose,


ripe fruity aromas, vanilla and oak hints complemented with


vanilla & clove hints & tobacco.


 


Clos de Vougeot de “Musigni” Grand Cru - Gros Frere & Soeur 2004


Full-bodied, elegant with black truffle, black pepper & red berry aromas


and flavors.  Well- balanced.


 


Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru - Gros Frere & Soeur 2004


Wonderful wine, young but elegant touch a little star anise,


ripe fruit, game, rose & black cherry aromas.


Keep, keep & keep.

Burgundy Wine Dinner @Harvey Nichols ( part 1 )







拖延了半年的 Burgundy Wine Dinner 終於在一眾好友的歡樂聲中結束了,


希望各出席的朋友都可盡興而歸。 再次多謝大家支持!


 


Harvey Nichols 的環境清靜, 氣氛很好, 舒適寬敞,有格調。


食物質素有相當水準!雖然當晚的食物與餐酒配搭不是完美,


但整體也算不錯!個人很喜歡那個 鵝肝,外脆內軟,味道甘香,


只是略嫌伴碟的葡萄乾醬汁過甜。


主菜的 烤鴿胸 也很理想,嫩滑味濃,口感非常!


 


餐廳方面的服務 態度殷勤、體貼、甚週到。


特別是那裡的 Sommelier - Ming哥,由我最初與他聯絡安排餐單、酒單、


人數、坐位編排到當日的開酒及上餐時間, 他都主動一一細細心心的


與我商議, 一點也不馬虎 。工作態度之認真及敬業樂業都值得一讚!

Ø          Alfred Gratien Cuvee Brut Champagne


Ø          Bourgogne Blanc, Domain Leroy 1997
