Back to Bangkok + Birthday Trip - My birthday dinner@4Nov

決定去呢間Le Banyan

一心就係想去食血鴨, 仲要食完有張號碼既証書...

見到另一blog度既人都有不錯既comment

睇完網頁既menu...

發現......妖~ 要2個人先可以叫血鴨....(我本來都打算...睇到隔離叫走去痴一份, 因預左係2set, extra一份會另收 $)

最後放棄 ~ (下次要找人陪我去試先得)

我堅持要食餐既野

email去book, 點知出發前都無reply,

到步第2日就自己打去book 8點(佢星期日唔開,所以要星期一先打去,佢晚上開7點,所以選晏少少到先步)

Le Normandie

以前已去過一次, 點知貴,但我都要去試dinner,因為個feel會好一點

因為怕塞車, 所以先坐Sky train,再轉酒店既專用shuttle boat !

可能我唔係準時7點入坐,所以無window seat 坐

不過個setting我都好鐘意

8點半後已full house, 勁呀 ~

先黎一杯champagne rose 及一杯水

台階上另有3張枱,不過就唔係面向河既

好鐘意呢個有N字既牛油

有好多款包包提供,我要左2個 ~

complimentary appretizer (我食到有蜆, 懷疑係crab打成的foam)

忘記告訴大家, 我食呢個係Degustation menu (6 courses + matching wine)

第一道: Dover sole fillet and smoked salmon serving with melted poached egg

Riesling "Reserve", Trimbach 2004, France

我一心就係試酒, 其實係網上已睇左少系menu, 已決定左係食呢個, 所以到步後我根本無再睇menu食乜, 全部都係靠當時既味覺

呢個dish非常得,賣相係你估佢唔到,上面似雪糕既物體就係個蛋,食完半隻蛋下面就見到3片魚...最特別既就係用意粉做左個basket裝住d魚....真係amazing !

第二道:Chestnut velvet soup with white truffle oil and pan fried veal sweet breads

Chateau Ville Bel-Air, Appellation Graves Controlee 2005, France

個湯係就係特別....不過入口就一般左d ~ (但係就非常match杯酒, 完全無搶去任何味道)

第三道:Roasted Brittany lobster with corral butter served with smoked beetroots and butter head lettuce emulsion

Chablis "L", Laroche 2006, Burgundy, France

賣相就一流,不過..可能第一道太吸收了, 而且...開始飽飽地...反應遲鈍哂 ~

第四道:Wild Duck served in red wine caramelized pears, juniper berry flavoured apples and wild mushrooms

Crozes Hermitage "Les Jales", Paul Jaboulet 2002, Rhine Valley, France

好怕隻鴨果陣味呀.......................................................................................

事後waiter同我傾計,問下我個degustation menu點, 我答佢我最欣賞杯Riesling, 個dish既賣相就好吸引, 我好怕鴨既味,佢話呢個時間係打野鴨既季節喎! 不過杯紅酒就好正 !

我去完toilet, waiter就同我講,幫我準備左個window 位 (因為d人開始走架嘛!)

你話係唔係超讚呢d心意呢 ~  唔同花花架 ~

第五道係Cheese Platter,不過佢話可以改為fruit,咁就即係要生果喇,我都唔好芝士既

第六道:Parfait of Nougat and pistachio with ginger emulsion and cherry jus accompanied by crunchy lavender

Sauternes A.O.C.,Borie-Manoux 2002, France

下面2舊既ginger味...好香, 上面既crunchy脆脆好好味,亦完全well match杯dessert wine~

食飽飽,當然要杯earl grey tea喇 ~

鄧鄧鄧, 此時, 我係玻璃既反影......我份禮物出場喇

(呢幅相係我事後返酒店時影返既, 因為我相機唔會係呢度高級地方度閃閃閃光燈既)

亦好多謝restaurant既細心,幫我影左2張相 (不過因為無開閃燈, 唔多靚)

之但係亦唔打緊...因為佢地有用佢地既機同我影, 我以為留record. 哈哈哈

原來係...........................................................................

用folder幫我入住, 仲要係影完3mins內比到我...surprise～

Petits Four ! (有部份少少甜）呢個係枱枱都有架　～

影完相，佢都好醒咁話幫我將件ｃａｋｅ　ｐａｃｋ入ｂｏｘ．．．．

埋單走人時，仲送上一小盒既２粒古古力　（每人都有既）

你話呢度係唔係好冧呢　～

既然係食得咁開心，就當然唔mind價錢．．．唔記得左幾$ lu!
