生命,似乎是痛,卻不是苦;看似不完美,卻是美得可愛! 沒有黑夜,就不會驚嘆日落日出的光芒; 沒有灰暗,又怎能反映色彩的繽紛奪目;沒有嘗過孤獨的滋味,又豈能細味有伴同行的甘甜快樂……
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!

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.

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.
