點心 Buffet@國金軒




小時候很喜歡星期天到酒樓品茗

其實品茗還是其次

最重要是吃我最愛的中式點心

蝦餃、燒賣、腸粉、山竹牛肉、芋角、春卷.......

通通都不能錯過

現在如要我選擇甚麼大酒店 high-tea 或食中式點心?

我想我會毫不考慮要一盅兩件勝過甚麼鬆餅、馬卡龍........





 



所以今次介紹的是

米芝蓮二星食府~ 國金軒(美麗華酒店 3 樓 )

午市任食點心優惠

聽到可任食摩登廣東點心兩小時 $198/person

簡直令我歡喜欲狂.....垂涎三尺








但這優惠只適合尖沙咀美麗華酒店的國金軒

並非 IFC 那間

這裡環境十分寬敞及寧靜

窗外全是翠綠樹木景

遠遠勝過一般市井酒樓佈局

實在不能相提並論








28 款點心任點

採用即叫即蒸的傳統烹調

除一般耳熟能詳的廣東點心外

最突破的莫過於有法國鵝肝荔芋角、金珠燒鵝咸水角、

黑松露野菌餃及蘋果义燒酥

要款款試勻確實有難度

我當然先選我最愛的蝦餃、燒賣、菜苗餃及野菌餃

全部都是鮮蝦爽滑彈牙、味道與配料可以稱為天衣無縫



 


就看看我們的 order 項目:



 



全部都有水準

可憑個人喜好 order 單件點心品嚐

絕不會浪費食物之嫌








~ $220 位.....超值

埋單記得用恆生白金信用咭

可有 10 % off

*朋友們記得訂位~ 只限 1-5 午市時段 (12:00-14:30)

American Pie


 


Don McLean


 


 


A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
with every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So...

*Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
And Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing(*)

Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park

And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing(*)

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
Landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing(*)

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing(*)

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing(*)

Feon 夢幻樂園




Feon's Wonderful Land

有幸被邀請 Blog 友仔的新居~ House warming

過了一個興奮難忘的下午

感覺猶如遊歷一個夢幻樂園

我全程都是這樣幾句:『嘩!好靚!』『我想拎出嚟睇吓!』

『係邊樹買?』『好貴丫!』『好平丫!我又想訂!』

最後一句是『我幾時可以再嚟玩?』








Happy Everyday 的栗子蓉卷蛋~ 鬆軟幼滑

實在非常美味







終於一嘗Feon 的百爵茶特飲

簡單容易又清新

還有精心的菠蘿釀雞翼

由於我們講不停......給烤燶了








有一重要節目便是由 Happy Everyday 親自貼身教授

『如何做戚風?』

我這個烘焙初哥實在獲益不少

再要說聲:「多謝指教」






看看一個成功的戚風

背後是有很多竅門

我有信心一定做得到






切開是輕柔、鬆軟、入口即化

吃一啖已從心溫暖出來






最後多謝 Feon & Happy Everyday 的禮物

無論精神上、肉禮上都是滿戴而歸

再一次說:「多謝晒!」

Mei 記芝麻卷




很喜歡芝麻獨有的香味

每逢到深水埗逛街

必到坤記買一件芝麻糕

品嘗那濃濃的黑芝麻香氣

又或是閒來到東海堂買件黑芝麻卷蛋

但自家做的芝麻美點還是第一次

是 『Mei 記芝麻卷』








看賣相已不需多作讚賞

烏黑潤澤、層次有序、煙韌緊緻、質軟彈牙、甜度恰當

最重要是每卷都充滿著那濃郁的芝麻香味








Mei 記芝麻卷......Ichiban

日本鑄鐵鍋~ Vermicular





 


這次疾走大阪京都之行

可見的秋日紅葉只是零星落索的感覺

未能一睹滿目皆是紅葉、黃葉和翠山的溪谷美景

我想還是要多來一次京都秋日行

京都真是很美~ 古樸、寧靜.....精巧細膩及莊重的感覺

這些還是日後的篇幅再作介紹

在旅程的最後的一個上午

我在 JR大阪站的三越伊勢丹發現了一個驚為天人的鑄鐵鍋

款式是 Staub 與 Le Creuset 的 Mix & Match

顏色是絕頂的柔和......還有一種珍珠閃爍的亮麗感

可是價錢一點也不便宜~ ¥23800/HK$2420 

(22cm/3.5 lit/4.5Kg)

鍋迷們可會有一刻心動呢?








琺瑯鑄鐵鍋~ 是碳和合金鋼鑄件再機械加工搪瓷

遠紅外線效應導入令更傳熱保溫






看看微翹手柄是易於女性插入雙手

鍋蓋內層設計可讓水蒸氣均勻散回

使烹調中的食材不會流失水份










再看看鍋底的設計可以當烤盤使用的模式

可當煎 pan 使用亦不容易油彈四周

適合直火、電磁爐及焗爐煮食

還有強調的是不需另外加水烹調

單是利用食材的水份也煮到一鍋好吃的咖喱









7 種顏色的選擇

相信也不需多作思考吧!
 
還可以刻上自己的名字 +¥3150

擁有自我 Signature .........暈啦!!

我愛美麗得像珍珠閃爍的粉紅色....Sparkle Pearl !!







Modify from Le Creuset & Staub

遇強越強......

問妳家裡還有沒有位置容納一個日本製造的鑄鐵鍋

Vermicular I'm Made in Japan

笑我殺蚊也不夠膽
笑我的天性不夠奸

樂觀的心不懶 我全憑傻勁

行過重重難關 憑信心得到稱讚


我要放心放膽去衝

我要上廣闊的太空

豁出幾分英勇 要忘懷沉重

前進才能成功 長空總可給操縱


我信天真的鬥志

需挫敗仍然嘗試 蝕底過當做投資

滿腦太多好主意 從此懷著大志


要越唱越強 艱辛波折別去想

再放聲高唱 唱到底仍鏗鏘

我越唱越勇找到方向 即使一個亦夠響

我已索性不理 你會否熱情來欣賞

我 決心 不理形象 發洩我想

我繼續狂唱 唱到自信更高漲


我要隻身去膽搏膽

跌痛也一個人承擔

遇到些少感嘆 我仍憑傻勁

來抗衡來平反 如孤單都懂得撐


我以最天真的鬥志


需挫敗仍然嘗試 蝕底過當做投資

信我會有天可以 憑聲音去完成大志


要越唱越強 艱辛波折別去想

我會再放聲高唱 唱到聲嘶仍然鏗鏘

我越唱越勇找到方向 即使一個亦夠響

我已索性不理 你會否熱情來欣賞

我 決心 一個前行 我信我想

懶理別人自信堅強更高章

憑我態度全力再上 到世界絕嶺演唱


 


我越唱越強 艱辛波折未去想
再放聲高唱 唱到底仍鏗鏘

我越唱越勇找到方向 即使一個亦夠響

我已索性不理 你會否熱情來欣賞

我 決心 一個前行 我信我想

懶理別人自信堅強更高章

憑我態度全力再上 到世界絕嶺演唱


唱到自信更高漲 放肆放任的去唱

來年定了方向 唱到了也想唱

唱到了也想唱 我會竭力的去唱
全憑自信去高唱
