同客戶食午餐 而這位客人對食都好有要求 所以決定去米芝蓮二星的Amber 叫了個weekday lunch set 3 meal courses正因為價錢貴 名氣大 今次的食評决定用最嚴格的標準去品嚐侍應專業訓練有素 有禮貌地遞上蘇打水和新鮮出爐的麵包 同時亦介紹了淡咸味兩種牛油和黑醋油 十分細心照顧客人的口味頭盤係鵝肝配日本出產的日向夏柑橘醬 鵝肝本身成份高 煎完之後 鎖住肉汁 比平時食開的鵝肝味更濃 而且入口即溶 另外配了酸甜的橙香果凍和柑橘汁 亦撇除了鵝肝油膩的感覺 主菜是低溫燉小羊肉粒 肉質變得柔軟 沒有羊騷味 秘製的醬汁雖然濃烈但沒有蓋過羊肉本身的肉味 更加提升到另一個水準 底層的薯仔吸收了醬汁和肉汁的味道 令人停不了口 甜品是法國紅酒梨 浸了紅酒後的雪梨變成了深紅色 加上可可脆片和果汁珍珠粒 甜到入心 味道亦產生了變化 果糖融入了紅酒 甘甘甜甜 每碟菜中間亦有一些清潔味蕾嘅小食到最後亦有精緻的朱古力盤 總體上 由環境到服務 再到食物的味道和賣相 每一項都得到很高的分數 當然一分錢真是一分貨

Amber has been on my wishlist for years and now I have finally tried the famous sea urchin which is going to be taken off the menu soon.Started off with the mushroom tea which tasted like Bovril.The we had these adorable porcini mushroom macarons with pumpkin filling.Then came a huge acorn with a beer batter beignet and a crispy leaf made of pumpkin.The star of the show was the sea urchin with smooth and silky cauliflower puree covered in lobster jelly and caviar.It was simply divine!+++++++++++

繼續Taste of Hong Kong介紹：今屆分為六個時段開放，每個時段大約4至5小時，參加者可於場內享受美食、瀏覽手工製品小店，並體驗不同景點，包括Taste美食舞台、貴賓室、香檳品嚐大師班、現場音樂表演等，其形式與「Wine & Dine Festival」有點似，但參與的餐廳全是或米芝蓮等星級餐廳，包括：Amber (2星)、Aberdeen Street Social、Arcane、CHINO、Serge et le Phoque (1星)、都爹利會館 (2星)、天龍軒 (2星)、Tosca (1星)、Yardbird、Ronin、The Ocean、Bibo、Café Gray Deluxe，以及來自倫敦的 Duck & Waffle，十分巴閉！活動期間，每間食府製作3至4道招牌菜式，並以小碟形式奉上，務求讓參加者嚐盡珍餞百味。也到城內最愛法國菜餐廳之一 Amber 點了一份 法國特色野鴨肉卷 Duck 'a la Royale' ($120)。菜式頗有血鴨的風味，不過最特別是非用上淨鴨肉，而是鴨肉鴨肝批，因此味道份外濃郁；旁邊的果醬則能起了清新的作用，配搭非常有趣。當然

一直也渴望嘗試Amber師傅的廚藝，最近Amber與慈善團體Make A Wish合作，於一月中旬至二月十四日在Landmark擺放甜品櫃，收入全部作慈善用途。（Make A Wish好像經常跟高檔公司合作，記得中學時代，我也曾到半島酒店義賣曲奇為Make A Wish籌款。）每一次經過這甜品櫃時，我也按不住要停下來看看蛋糕。結果，我由以前小學的每日一篇演變為現在的每日一Cake，正所謂「食色性也」，這能滿足人類基本需求，又能普施濟弱，何樂而不為？當然，誠實一點，其實我在幫自己Make A Wish - Cake Every Day，哈哈。除了甜品，在場也售賣其他精品，如賀年和情人卡，不過是二十元一張。無論再多過多少載，少女心依然風雨不改，那紅色玫瑰卡實在很吸引，我又把它買下作收藏品了。在場除了售賣八款一律四十元的蛋糕，也在不同時分推出新鮮出爐的甜品，一律二十元。我試過在下午一時推出的蘋果派，不怕很甜，但蘋果偏酸，份量也相對少，三兩口已把它完成了。以吸引力來說，一定是以在場的八款蛋糕為首。坐鎮蛋糕在甜品櫃內自然氣場十足，即使在Amber外賣盒上在神采非凡。以這三款紅莓朱古力蛋糕、士多啤

I was in Central with boyfriend to photograph this year's Chinese New Year decorations. When we arrived at Landmark, I saw a poster that said there was a temporary Amber pop up store where they were serving cakes and coffee/tea/hot chocolate and all proceeds would go to the Make a Wish foundation.When we arrived, most of the cakes were gone. I could only choose from maybe 3. I guess I got there too late in the day. If I had know about this place, I would have gone earlier.I ordered a tart and a

I am amazed that so many of the reviews of Amber are so positive, because I was not in the least bit impressed by my experience there. Perhaps it was simply my table's foolishness in ordering the degustation menu (which means the whole table has nine courses of the chef's signature dishes), and perhaps the other items on the menu are delightful, but I certainly have no desire to sample contemporary French cusine at Amber ever again. Anyway, in the hope of saving other innocent diners from wastin

Paris-brest ($40)The last piece of cake that I am going to try from Amber. The praline flavoured cream was sandwiched between two fluffy choux pastry. The pastry was light with a soft texture, it was surprisingly not as sweet as I expected. The smooth cream and the soft choux just made a fun and sexy dessert to share with your loved ones. I really wish the Amber pop up shop is going to continue because it was so convenient for Central busy people to buy one to go before/after work!

Located in The Landmark, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Amber has been one of the top restaurants in HK, winning numerous awards including two Michelin stars, sixth in Asia's Best 50 Restaurants and Best Restaurant in HK by S. Pellegrino. It is Culinary Director Richard Ekkebus' contemporary interpretation of French cuisine.With warm ambient lighting, a bronze chandelier is the centerpiece of the restaurant. We were seated at an oval table, with nice, comfortable cushions and armrest, offering a reall

Cheesecake vanille de madagascar ($40)It was really smooth with a prominant villana flavour in each bite, you could even see the vanilla seeds from the almost glass reflecting smooth service of the cake. The bottom crust was thin and crumbly, just firm enough to hold the whole cake on top. The presentation was just amazing and I will be coming back for more again!

最後, 就來到置地歷山這家期間限定的甜點店, 這裡供應的是置地文華東方酒店米芝蓮二星餐廳Amber的法式甜點, 要留意的是平日Amber並沒有這些散件裝的甜點, 這次有機會享用, 難得. 當中包括$20一客的Madeleine, Tarte aux pommes, Tarte bourdaloue, 以及Cannele Bordelais.另外還有$40一客的Mont Blanc, Millefeuille Vanille, Tarte fraise yuzu, Cheesecake vanille de Madagascar, Paris-brest, Tarte chocolat Li Chu, Opéra, Tarte citron meringuée.Tarte fraise yuzu是萬人迷, 士多啤梨味道鮮甜, 撻底香脆. 而Tarte chocolat Li Chu帶香濃的朱古力味道, 跟荔枝的平衡做得很好, 也是必吃之選.至於飲品方面, 就特別加入了玫瑰或猴子拉花裝飾, 我這杯Chocolate Cocoa, $30一杯, 拉花漂亮, 朱古力味道濃烈, 很討好. 而在這

Tarte chocolat Li Chu / framboise ($40)Since the Amber cake pop up shop opened. I have been eating cake every day. Haven't you heard of one cake a day, keeps the doctors a way? Today I have try this chocolate raspbeery tart. The chocolate was not too sweet but not too bitter at the same time. The chocolate mouse on top was creamy and smooth as hell. The raspberry tasted fresh and it balances out the slight sweetness from the chocolate. The tart base was butter and dense. It won't crumble even yo

Amber, 置地文華東方酒店米芝蓮二星餐廳, 很熟悉的名字, 也是我跟CEO其中一家最喜歡的餐廳. 平日在Amber吃到的甜點, 價位不菲, 但最近, 在置地廣塲期間限定的店子內, 就能夠以一客$40享用Amber的甜點, 超值!這家pop-up store位處置地歷山, 供應的法式甜點就是由Amber出品. 當中的選擇包括有Mont Blanc, Tarte fraise yuzu, Tarte chocolat Li Chu, Millefeuille Vanille, Tarte fraise yuzu, Cheesecake vanille de Madagascar, Paris-brest, Tarte chocolat Li Chu, Opéra, Tarte citron meringuée.這天CEO帶來了兩款甜點給我. Tarte fraise yuzu即是士多啤梨撻, 面頭的士多啤梨, 味道鮮甜, 而那撻底牛油香突出, 質感香脆.另外一款就是Tarte chocolat Li Chu, 朱古力撻. 簡單來說, 是朱迷必吃之選, 朱古力味道相當香濃, 而加入了荔枝

Since I am obsessed with Amber recently, I am going to try as many cakes as possible at their pop-up shop. Today I have tried the famous French Mont Blanc which is basically just a mountain of puree sweetened chestnut. The Mont Blanc from Amber was topped with some candy chestnuts and some cute mini meringues. What disappointed me was the flavour of the chestnut puree which tasted a bit artificial to me, I thought chestnust should still be in season? It wouldn't be too hard to find quality chest

As a celebration to the CNY, Landmark has set up a boutique selling different beverages and pastry from Amber at Landmark Mandarin Oriental. All the cakes are selling at $40 with all the proceed goes to Make a Wish. Tarte Fraise Yuzu ($40)It has been a long time since I have any cakes from Amber and I was very excited about this tarte fraise yuzu I ordered. The tarte fraise yuzu was covered with loads of fresh strawberries, on top of some hidden fruity yuzu mousse. At the bottom, it was sort of

真係超級難得嚟Amber食啲咁貴價咁高卡噶甜品，雖然我真係好鍾意食甜噶，不過咁貴我一般都好難可以食到。今次有得食仲唔食盡佢 先嚟翻兩杯welcome drink，雖然睇落去好似檸檬水咁，不過佢噶味道係酸酸甜甜，好開胃 餐前麵包有四種，有些少熱，而且聞落去好香配噶牛油有甜同唔甜兩種，好細膩 法式芝士拼盤，有幾種唔同噶cheese。芝士味非常濃郁，配紅酒一齊食會更加好味 Raspberry，下面係馬鞭草檸檬雪糕，檸檬味同馬鞭草味道融合得非常好
