生湯葉わさび。Yuba with wasabi, or squid with spicy sauce. I never realised tofu by itself can be this sweet! Very nice with wasabi and soya sauce.
060126 021.jpg060126 034.jpg
いなか蕎麦。Inaka soba. Oh god this is soooooo nice!!! Very hard and very buckwheaty - just the way I like! There are soba places everywhere but good ones really leave strong impression. Definitely will go back again and again!

UCHOUTEN

060126 038.jpg黒毛和牛のメンチカツ。Minced beef croquette and seafood cream croquette. Lunch set came with the usual - rice, soup, salad and coffee, 1080yen. The beef one was very juicy and the seafood one actually had chunks of seafood inside despite of its small size. Both were freshly fried so had to wait for quite a bit.

060125 016.jpgちゃんこ鍋。A hotpot with chicken and pork and seafood and vegetables. 1890yen for one person set during lunch time. The soup is soya sauce base. I was given a bowl of sesame seeds to grind myself and a small dish of "yuzu" pepper paste...and no bowl to eat. The waitor said I should scoop the cooked ingredient and the soup into the bowl of sesame and eat from there.....but that is too much sesame! So I just chucked the whole plate of raw ingredients, the sesame, and the "yuzu" pepper paste into the hotpot....it was very good!! Though I really craved rice!!

ブタ肉専門定食店 BOOMIN

060125 009.jpgGrilled pork lunch, 780yen. The pork is very very good!!! Very juicy and soft, with just the right amount of fat. The sauce is a bit salty but goes well with rice.

マルハバ(Marhaba)

060125 001.jpgLunch in a Pakistani restaurant. All the waitors and the chef were not Japanese. I had the Mutton and beans curry lunch set. Hmm...maybe because I went late, the mutton curry was too watered down and not hot, so I left most of it. The waitor asked me if it was no good and I told him frankly "it was cold..." and he answered, "Thank you.".....eh what?! ^^;; The guy sitting behind me had curry piraf and it looked really yummy....maybe I will go back for a second try.

AW kitchen (中目黒)

060122 070.jpg060122 032.jpg

060122 079.jpg3 girls dining out. First I completely forgot to bring the restaurant's address and the map, and then a friend completely forgot about the time because she was busy cleaning her room at home.....and then the other friend, who was not late and did remember to write down the address, copied the address wrong and we got completely lost....^^;;....but somehow we got ourselves there in one piece. I had Sangria(not shown) and Grapefruit Vermouth(rosso) which is a herb liqueur. Both were very nice. Ginger ale had fresh ginger taste and was surprisingly good too.

060122 001.jpg060122 014.jpg
Pork rillette and squid ink baguette. Came without ordering, 500yen per person. My friend said the rillette tasted like canned sea chicken....err....^^;;;
Mixed grilled vegetables of the day. The waitor was very insistent, to the point of annoying, on recommending us this other fresh salad and dips, but I don't like raw vegetables so we ordered grilled veggy instead. The vegetables were fresh and sweet. It came with 2 types of warm dressings and some flavoured salt.

060122 020.jpg060122 025.jpg
We ordered 4 different types of pasta and shared between 3 of us. The restaurant beefed up the portion of each dish(with a plus charge), and divided the pasta for us and served us one dish by one dish, which was just great. The photos are my share.
100% fruit tomato Troffie Arrabbiata. The very pushy waitor was again recommending this simple pasta and at first we didn't want it and ordered something else, but he mentioned it again and again, saying stuff like "You are not ordering the Arrabbiata?" I totally gave up and my friends were laughing, so we ordered it at the end. Well, it was very good....hate to admit it. ^^;; I like the noodles shape and the chewy texture.
Conchigliette and 5 clams, escargot butter sauce. Again very very yummy! Not sure I tasted any escargot though.

060122 042.jpg060122 043.jpg
Black pepper garganelli with andeuillette and black cabbage. The pasta was a bit out of shape, not so shell-like, but tasted wonderful. There were more meat and vegetables than pasta...a bit more pasta would be more balanced.
Stewed wild boar with spinach tortellini of ricotta cheese and walnut. The sauce was rich, a bit salty and again lots of meat and mushroom and purple potato chips...but the only two tortellinis were no good....We came to a consensus that normal spaghetti would go better with the sauce.
They seemed to be very generous with the ingredients and the sauce, but rather stingy on the pasta.....girl-oriented low-carb style?

060122 051.jpg060122 060.jpg
Strawberry panna cotta and "yuzu" baked cheese cake. I love the panna cotta!
We had 2 drinks each, and the bill came to 20,000yen. It was quite expensive, considering we didn't even order any meat dishes. But this area is like all trendy and hip, probably that's why?

Mardi Gras

060121 010.jpg060121 013.jpg

060121 014.jpgThis place is again very popular and very hard to book - somehow I always go to this kind of restaurants. ^^; The most tempting thing that I read about this place is that the food is supposed to be very "macho", mostly meat and large portions and great values. Some gourmet review called it "guys' french". The chef said something like, "I have no interest in anything other than meat". So I was really keeping my expectations up....
Foccacia and tortilla. The foccacia was a bit too oily but quite nice. The Spanish omelette was served warm, very good too. Look at the big plate of stuff for 4, before we even ordered anything. "Let's not order too much otherwise we won't be able to finish", "2 appetizers and 2 main dishes would be enough", were what we thought. But then the first appetizer came....Coriander salad. My god it is so small!! It is quite nice but 1370 yen is not so worth it. Then the second appetizer came....Fried Trippa. It is not bad but very oily and the portion is so small again.

060121 015.jpg060121 021.jpg
We chose roasted lamb and roasted pork to share. By that time we were giving up on the portion side, so when the main dishes came, which were not as big as we would like, we just tried to enjoy our share from each plate. The quality of meat was fanastic, no doubt of that, but each main dish costs over 3000 yen....and the one little piece doesn't make an impression on me no matter how good it is. ^^;; This place has similar great quality of meat and simple cooking style, but much much cheaper. And it is also in Ginza!!

060121 029.jpg060121 026.jpg
I was not full at all!! But we ordered 2 more rounds of foccacia, which was oily and filling. For desserts we ordered 2 Mascarbone cheese and Grand Marnier and coffee parfaits and 2 banana and raisins tarts. I had the parfait which was really nice, also small. We had a drink each and it came to 5600 yen per person - not a very good deal I think. But the taste was good, and I had a good time so, oh well.

060120 033.jpg060120 039.jpg
This restaurant is very popular and difficult to book. I booked it like a month early...before I went back to HK. But actually it wasn't completely full on a weekday lunch. There were 3 different lunch courses and we chose the most reasonably priced, 4725yen course. The restaurant is dauntingly high-class....there was a doorman to open the door for us...took our coats and all. I was kinda timid about taking pictures in such a place but my friend was nice enough to ask the waitor for me about taking pictures of the food, and the waitor said it was okay. Even though the restaurant has quite a snobby atmosphere, the waitors are certainly not snobby at all. And it turns out the alcohol drinks are not too expensive either.
The little snacks are ham and fish.
Appetizer: Marinated seabass. Very refreshing.
活〆スズキのマリネ、ポリフェノール仕立て。

060120 043.jpgDuck consomme soup, with winter vegetables and foie gras royale. Some foie gras mousse thing is under the soup. It is alright, not too much impression.
鴨のコンソメと冬野菜・フォアグラのロワイヤル。

060120 044.jpg060120 048.jpg
Main: Pie of gibier pate. The sauce is made from venison, both meat and blood. The pie was really nice but I thought the sauce was a bit too heavy and salty, especially the spinach was drenched in it.
ジビエのパテのパイ包み。

060120 056.jpg060120 059.jpg
Rose and strawberry. Little dessert before the main dessert.
Pear and "verveine" mille-feuille. Dunno what verveine is. Very crispy slices, not too sweet, very nice! The ice-cream is ginger flavour.
洋ナシとベルベーヌのミルフィーユ。

060120 063.jpgThen when I thought it was over, a wagon of desserts came to our table. At first I thought it was extra order but my friend told me it was included in the lunch course! You could choose as many as you want from the selection, about 10 of them, but considering my stomach condition, I just had three. I was glad that I had only 3, because there were really sweet. My friend treated me a glass of champagne~~and I only paid for the course itself, about 5500yen including tax and service change.

Fermented beancurd(腐乳)and black pepper congee, 500 yen. I would never have imagined myself going for HK food so soon....but congee is hard to find in Japanese restaurants....and I am pretty sick of the package congee sold in supermarkets. This place is surprising good, not watery, very solid quality. I had takeaways a few times.

プシケパスタ倶楽部

060120 003.jpgSpaghetti with scallop and mushroom in cream sauce. Comes with salad and coffee. 1300 yen. The spaghetti is the "raw" type, i.e. not the usual dried ones, and has a chewy texture which I quite like. Pasta is the first thing I craved desparately after coming back to Japan!

Sichuan Spicy Chicken. Noodles topped with spicy ground pork. Glutinous Rice Balls with egg yolk in ginger soup. All are fantastic.
060104 238.jpg060104 249.jpg

060104 001.jpg元々「私房菜」の有名店で、去年からずっと行ってみたかったけど、なかなか予約が取れなくて、今年も行き損なった。同じの店の、デザートと軽い食事中心のカフェが出来たと聞いて、早速行ってみた。4時ぐらい微妙な時間に行ったせいで、店はやってはいたものの、デザートメニューは売り切れが多かった、、、香港ではカフェタイムっていうものがそもそもないことを忘れた、、、。ディナーの約束があったけど、2人で軽い食事をシェアすることに。
「金牌口水鶏」:粉皮、鶏、ピータン、ピーナッツ、、、色々入ってる四川料理の定番。やや辛いソースが下にある。
坦々麺:麺が弾力があって、甘辛いソースと混ぜて、シンプルだけど、忘れられない一品。
「姜湯漏黄湯丸」:団子の中にピーナッツ、卵黄など、色々入ってて、やや辛い生姜スープと一緒に食べると、激しく美味しかった、、、。
3品しか試してないけど、すっかり気に入った店。店内はオシャレだし、料理はカフェ風で油っぽくなくて味しっかり、超おすすめ。本店の方も気になって気になってしようがないけど、また今度、、、。

鮑汁木耳炒野菌:キノコと木耳の鮑ソース。意外ともこのおまけに注文した一品がヒット。
「鮑汁木耳炒野菌」以外は、全部「香港料理大賞」をもらった料理。この賞は観光客向けで、当てにしちゃいけないと思うが、去年行ったこの店の尖沙咀支店は美味しかったので、銅鑼灣店も行ってみた。こっちもハズレではなかった。

「香港料理大賞」をもらった「蜜餞焼鴨胸:はちみつ風味の鴨胸肉の燻製とマンゴーを挟んだサンド」と「大根もちと蟹の炒め」。鴨肉はウィーナーみたいな味と食感、、、。蟹自体は美味しかったが、大根もちは小麦粉の味しかしなかった、、、。ちなみに、どっちも創作料理で潮州料理ではない。

Braised Leopard Coral Grouper, Sichuan Style. Steamed crab.
香港人にはあまり知られてない「香港料理大賞」というものがあって、この店の「水煮東星斑:東星ハタの四川風辛味煮」は賞をもらった一品。実は火鍋の店で、ほとんどの客はしゃぶしゃぶを注文するけど、あえて「水煮東星斑」を予め電話で予約した。しかし、店のミスでオーダーを忘れられた、、、友人は激怒。寒い時火鍋店は激込みなので、仕方ないか、、、。代わりに、同じ「水煮」だけど、魚は別のものを。
蒸し蟹。2つを頼んだけど、また注文のミスで一つしか出なかった、、、友人も諦め気味。

This place is just impossible to find! Make sure you have a map with you.
店の場所は分かりづらくて、予約した時間から30分遅れて、着いたのは8時半ぐらい。店内はすでにカラガラ。昔はなんとかクラブだったが、今はレストランのみ。
060102 076.jpg060102 083.jpg
Beggar's chicken(or Fortune chicken): stuffed with herbs and packed in paper and baked for many hours. Need to reserve 1-2 days in advance. It is absolutely fantastic.
乞児鶏(店員さんは「富貴鶏」と呼ぶ)。6時間以上焼いたらしい。鶏の中に具が色々詰めてあって、全席絶賛の一品。食べ切れなかった部分は、テイクアウトできる。実に次の日、インスタントラーメンと一緒に煮たら、激旨だった、、、。
060102 086.jpg060102 092.jpg
Quick-fried eel slices. Crab meat and tofu, the sauce is quite thick.
三爆鳝片:うなぎに似たもの。揚げ物とは知らずに頼んでしまったけど、意外とさっぱりして、揚げ物がだめな人も美味しい美味しいといいながら食べれた。
蟹粉豆腐:蟹ミソが結構入ってる。ソースがあんかけみたいにちょっと濃すぎだが、やっぱり味はよかった。
060102 096.jpg060102 102.jpg
Fried vegetables with dried tofu and salted fish. Simmered belly pork.
塩漬けの魚と百頁(硬い湯葉)と小棠菜。
東坡肉:豚の角煮。
060102 106.jpgGlutinous rice balls in osmanthus-flavoured wine, with pineapple and banana .
All the food are very good. Most dishes are slightyly sweet as common for cuisines of Hangzhou in China.
桂花酒糟(さけかす)丸子:桂花の香りがよくて、なんとバナナとパイナップルがすこし入ってる。食べた後は体がずっと暖かかった。
今回電話で予約したのは乞児鶏だけで、店に着いてメニュー見てから決めようと思ってたが、時間が遅かったせいで(香港では遅くないはずだが、、、)、メニューの半分以上は売り切れだったり、予約が必要だったり、、、ややこしかった。店にメニューをファックスしてもらって、予めメニューを決めた方がよさそう。そして、店員さんが親切すぎて、15分ごとに覗いてきて、同席の人はちょっと困惑顔、、、笑。

Stir-fried prawn with Longjin tea. Braised duck stuffed with Eight Jewel rice.
龍井蝦仁:海老と龍井茶の炒め。茶の味はあまりしない。

洋葱一字排:豚のスペアリブと玉葱の蒸し煮。箸だけで骨から肉が取れるぐらい柔らかい。やっぱり甘めの味付けで、八寶鴨とダブってしまったが、頼んでよかった一品だ。要予約。

Thousand Year Egg and pork liver congee. Glutinous rice tamale with dried scallop, chicken, mushroom, salted egg etc. A bit expensive but English menu is available.

ピータンと豚の腰のお粥。貝柱入りのちまき(醤油を付けて食べると、砂糖で食べると、味がかなり違うんだ)。1000円ぐらい。こういうのは安いはずだが、ここは高め。味は普通に美味しかった。店内はキレイで、メニューは英語も日本語もあり、観光客向けっぽいかも。

Fried milk and fried fowl roll. Baked sago and lotus seed pudding.
This place is alright, a bit expensive for the quality.
牛乳の炒めと野鶏巻きのフライ。サゴと蓮の実の焼きプリン。
野菜の炒めも頼んで、3人で8000円ぐらい。有名な店の支店だけど、平日の夜はカラガラ。いくつの大きいなテレビではドラマがやっていて、お客さんも見てるし、暇そうな店員さんも全員見てる、、、和んだ雰囲気だ、、、笑。

清真牛肉館

051225 003.jpgVery famous Islamic restaurant. Beef pie is a must-order. Stir-fried vegetables. Beef curry. Fantastic food, though the place is quite rundown, seats uncomfortable and always very crowded.
超有名なイスラム料理店。いつ行っても込んでる。一緒に行った友人が教えてくれたけど、相席で私の隣に座ってる人が芸能人らしい、、、うん、、、知らない。頼まない人いない一品は「牛肉餅」。アツアツの汁でやけどするので要注意。「炒素什錦」(野菜としいたけの炒め)。牛バラ肉のカレーは絶品。2人で2000円ぐらい。

Fried prawn balls are very good! Clams and vermicelli hotpot is not bad too, very spicy though it doesn't look like it. Both Thai and Vietnamese cuisines are available in this restaurant.
タイとベトナム両方食べられる店で、同じ道で支店が何軒も並んでる。海老団子は海老の卵と汁が中に入ってて美味しい。アサリと春雨の鍋は生姜の味が強くて、かなり辛かった。野菜の炒めも頼んで、2人で2000円程度。
