鹿悅週末自助晚餐

多雲.22C


又到了跟媽媽慶生之時.趁某信用卡在他生日(雖然是假的生日)有折扣加送生日蛋糕,於是就去試試這家聞名已久的日本料理餐廳.

還沒有吃就被雷到三個地方.

(1)訂位時順路問了價錢.被雷到不是因為貴(雖然真的很貴),只是在某飲食網上有人在一月份登了食評,當中寫的那個原價跟剛聽到的銀碼就差了20%.但訂位小姐說在今年1/1之後就是這個新價錢啦.大概那位仁兄是新年前吃的吧?

(2) 打了三次電話來確認訂位.那是怎麼回事呢?

第一次我在上班,剛好錯過電話.於是依留言中的電話號碼打回去.那個號碼好像是訂位部而不是餐廳的.接聽的那位男生說好,沒問題,星期六見.那我就掛線啦.然後,昨天又打來一次,我就覺得很奇怪,不過也就是確認一下吧.所以就算了.今天早上我又錯過了電話,於是就打回去.這次終於忍不住問為甚麼要reconfirm三次呢?那位比較成熟的女聲回答說,哎呀,可能是同事們忘了check off.這次一定辦妥了.

太認真了吧?

我媽聽了之後好狐疑: 他們是不是生意不好,怕我們不去呀?(才怪!可能就是太好了,一堆人在waiting list上!)

(3) 怎麼這些五、六星級的日本料理店都是用即棄筷呢?!?!(真的令人不解而且憤怒.不過我也忘了帶環保筷.怎麼會想到呢.唉唉唉.)

食物新鮮(限制於先天地理缺陷,所以算是很好的了),烹調得宜.選擇不算很多(跟那位仁兄在食評之內列出來相比),但也已經吃得我們捧腹而回.只是有沒有讓我在付了一疊鈔票之後(figuratively speaking)覺得很滿足的呢?嗯,又好像沒有.

就是這樣,報告完畢.(詳情請往flickr去慢慢看吧.)

  5. Sigh... such gorgeous food :)

    Thanks for looking out for whether the restaurant uses disposable chopsticks or not. Hopefully demand-side influence would make them change their ways...

    Btw, I checked out your Flickr stream as well (even more gorgeous food.. even bigger sigh from someone in Ireland where quality Japanese cuisine is hard to find...), and noticed that you've been paying attention also as to whether they're serving blue-fin tuna. Which makes me wonder if you have also seen this documentary called "End of the Life"? (Trailer link below)

  7. 這一間就是一直想試, 但不停聽到的評價就是價錢很貴, 但食物質素又卻與價錢不相稱.

    曾經因為工作的關係, 常去這一間酒店不同餐廳吃飯 (就只沒去過鹿悅). 也去過幾次飲. 雖然價錢很不一般, 但食物只是一般.....

  8. puiyee: thanks :) 顏色鮮豔,比較容易拍.

    md: 就是! (angry)

    snowdrops: i really think disposable chopsticks should not appear in high end restaurants anymore. envirornmental issues aside, it doesn't match the image. plus, if the western restaurants are using reusable cultery, then why not reusable chopsticks? unless they are easier to break?

    no.. i haven't seen the documentary yet. thanks for recommending :)

    子大: tiffin lounge也是另一家名過於實的.不過上次去飲覺得還好.

    食物其實算是好,但值得這個price tag嗎?我覺得不.
