Orange Tree

橙，我和队长是因为一颗橙而认识，这次来到 Soho 区以 Orange Tree 为名的餐厅，两口子都会心微笑。每次我都喜欢吃 bread tank，至少也得来点餐包让我可以沾牛油吧。怎么只有一片「大」面包？味道来得相当惊喜！内里是温热柔软的棉花糖，外层烤得干身香脆，还有浓浓的麦香！我已经忘记平时担当重要角色的牛油。(牛油也很软滑)没吃过如此有水准的面包很久了，相信咀叼的法国人也会爱上它。我几乎想只吃松脆的麦香外层，最饱肚的内层都递给队长 (喂~)见他也吃得津津有味，而且也赞外层超水准，就让他好好享用这片面包吧。只有一片，而且是超水准级数，份量实在不够满足我对餐包的欲望。Lamb Fillets and Eggplant baked in Puff PastryOn creamed Leeks and Rosemary Jus $268我的主菜点了羊柳卷，是 Orange Tree 推介主菜之一。很多人不吃羊肉，是基于抗拒羊肉的膻味。这道果然是店家的重点推介，羊柳柔嫩多汁，零膻味，散发著牛油香的酥皮把羊柳卷起，封著肉汁，而且没有骨头，世上有牛柳，原来也有叫羊柳的美食。羊柳下是烤茄子，吸收了羊柳的肉汁，感觉不像吃茄子，尽是羊汁的精华。配合与奶油煮为一体的韭葱，口感香滑。一切都来得太惊喜，迷迭香汁相对显得平佣。Premium 150 days Grain fed Australian Rib Eye Steak (8 oz) $268点了 medium 刚好没有血水，而且散发肉香，肉质柔软富弹性，有嚼劲，肉味香浓，相比之下，还是羊柳较突出有惊喜。另外，我们点了盘 Side dish: “Hutspot” mash potatoes就是薯蓉混合红萝卜和洋葱。厨子应该很喜欢迷迭香吧，每道菜也洒上迷迭香，或配以其酱汁。吃完了薯蓉也有饱肚感了。每次饭后，队长都会问我：这次最好吃是什么？「餐包」「我都是」❤❤❤❤❤…查看更多

I heard that this was the only Dutch bistro thats really owned by a Dutch. (Btw the chef really talks in Dutch in the kitchen)I booked a table for two a day before i went with my mom. When we went in at 6:30, the place was empty. But when its getting around 7:30-8:00, people started coming in and it became quite noisy and crowded. Though if u come in earlier, its very relaxing and romantic.We had1. "Garnaaltjes" shrimps with toast and saladIt was served in a very small potion, since its an appetizer. I recommend you eating it with the toast and side salad if you want to order this dish. It tastes not bad but no wow factor, however quite special.2. Pan fried whole dover sole with side veggiesIt was grilled perfectly, no sight of undercook or overcook. However its quite dry and tasteless, i tried squeezing as much of juice from the lemons but its useless, maybe im just not a big fan of grilled food.3. Lamb fillets and eggplant baked in puff pastry Now i see why this dish is greatly recommended by lots of people. this dish is perfect, the sauce goes perfect with the lamb fillet and the eggplant. Theres a wow factor in it, i can still see smoke coming out of it when its served, its amazingEven if you dont like lamb meat or eggplant, you should def order this if youre visiting this place!!! 4. Poffertjes with vanilla ice creamI wasnt planning to order this because i already had ice cream earlier, but then at the end i did. And i have to say I AM SO GRATEFUL I DID! This is one of their best dishes indeed, special and tasty. The first bite of the poffertjes wowed me, it was warm and eggy and very tummy satisfied. The vanilla ice cream wasnt cheap at all, you know its european ice cream by the texture and taste of it.* I also ordered a glass of French Rose Wine, its a pretty velvet color. It tastes okay Id still choose champagne over wineI recommend this bistro if you want to try Dutch food, the service wasnt as bad as the others had said and if you pick the right dishes, you would have a wonderful time there …查看更多

When people pay big money on a meal, they tend to say the best about it, because no one wants to look like a schmuck that pays over $1000 for a piece of dogsh!t on a rock. But maybe it's time to put down the arrogance,  try not to out-smart the truth, and admit it's a mistake. I did. Yes Orange Tree is expensive, but the food certainly doesn't live up to it's price. Here I'm talking about the quality as well as the fantastically small portion that finds a hard time satisfying even a toddler. It's ok if you are on diet or one of the good-food-must comes-a-small-portion crowd. When we pay we don't just pay for the food but also the service, and thats the main problem about this place. We ordered the main course and side dishes, no drinks, we ain't drinkers, and from then on the waitresses put on a face of 'go to Cafe De Coral next time' to us, up until we walked out the door. Try to avoid this place if you don't wanna take that sh!t. But I have to say the location is ok, up in the mountain, a bit away from the Soho crowd.…查看更多

Walked pass this restaurant the other day at Soho after work, I only ordered a main dish because I wasn’t that hungry at all but knew I had to stuff something down my stomach so I ordered this….Steak Tartar “Orange Tree Style”Served with a mixed salad and French Fries $228-The texture of the tartar was mushy and raw, it was kind of weird at first but when I spread on some baguette toasts the texture became much better. I liked the mayonnaise dipping sauce for the fries; I actually enjoyed the fries more than the tartar itself… The mixed salad was fresh and the pickles on the side were there just right because whenever my tasting palette went bland from too much raw steak I munched a piece of pickle and it would balance out the taste of raw meat in my mouth.Overall an average restaurant I came across randomly at Soho place, might give it another shot and tryout other cooked dishes if I get the chance to, maybe the cooked dishes doesn’t taste that weird after all?…查看更多
