預祝情人節

回到香港,去任何地方都要跟人排隊跟人迫,實在反感,唯有早2日到餐廳開餐。今年我不想刻意去安排,去做資料搜集,看看吃什麼。或許如此,某人知道Chesa是我wish list 其中之一,幾天前打電話預訂Chesa,星期六,日夜晚預約一早已經排得滿滿的,某人唯有選擇星期日下午吃午飯。早幾天他說到「憔悴閣」,我笑了,也大概猜到他帶我到哪兒;人家明明叫「瑞樵閣」嘛。我們到埗,由一位很會攪氣氛的叔叔帶入座。我較貪心,選了lunch set,他卻選了傳統的芝士火鍋。侍應生很貼心,他知道我們會share,所以供應了2隻碟,前菜一人一份。前菜 Wild mushroom consommé with mini gnocchi – 我一向喜歡gnocchi其柔軟但帶黏的質感,所以我選了這道作前菜。Wild mushroom consommé即野菌清湯,我被它的樣子騙倒了,起初以為味道是淡淡的;這道湯喝起來味道頗濃,還有很強烈的香草味,很有驚喜。Mini gnocchi小巧可愛,沉沒在清湯下,一口一粒,加入蕃茜一起搓,特別芳香。主菜 Grilled pork loin with braised pork be

回到香港,去任何地方都要跟人排隊跟人迫,實在反感,唯有早2日到餐廳開餐。今年我不想刻意去安排,去做資料搜集,看看吃什麼。或許如此,某人知道Chesa是我wish list 其中之一,幾天前打電話預訂Chesa,星期六,日夜晚預約一早已經排得滿滿的,某人唯有選擇星期日下午吃午飯。早幾天他說到「憔悴閣」,我笑了,也大概猜到他帶我到哪兒;人家明明叫「瑞樵閣」嘛。
我們到埗,由一位很會攪氣氛的叔叔帶入座。
我較貪心,選了lunch set,他卻選了傳統的芝士火鍋。侍應生很貼心,他知道我們會share,所以供應了2隻碟,前菜一人一份。
前菜 Wild mushroom consommé with mini gnocchi – 我一向喜歡gnocchi其柔軟但帶黏的質感,所以我選了這道作前菜。Wild mushroom consommé即野菌清湯,我被它的樣子騙倒了,起初以為味道是淡淡的;這道湯喝起來味道頗濃,還有很強烈的香草味,很有驚喜。Mini gnocchi小巧可愛,沉沒在清湯下,一口一粒,加入蕃茜一起搓,特別芳香。
主菜 Grilled pork loin with braised pork belly, butter squash mash and balsamic sauce – 烤豬扒嫩滑帶少許肥膏,配黑醋汁的好處就是開胃,和減少油膩感。至於清燉豬腩肉, 起初擔心到南瓜茸會不會跟豬腩肉不配合,原來南瓜茸不會搶過豬肉味,單吃南瓜茸還令我回味南瓜湯的味道呢! 豬腩肉肉質很腍,一絲絲的肉質加上南瓜茸,十分特別。
甜品 Pear clafoutis with macademia nuts and cassis sherbet – 先說面層cassis sherbet , 黑加侖子雪葩,單吃很酸,不過我喜歡,因為之前的主菜跟火鍋已令我飽足,吃過又胃口大開吃甜點了!
Pear clafoutis – 底層鋪啤梨,再倒入牛奶,雞蛋,麵粉等混合物去焗,再加上夏威夷果仁碎,整件甜點香濃可口,加上雪葩一起吃,實在滿足!
芝士火鍋 – 我們還是喜愛吃傳統的,即是伴法包吃。某人對我們在瑞士吃的芝士火鍋有陰影,所以堅決不要加白酒,其實我很想加白酒,更香更甜呢! 芝士火鍋以Gruyère與Emmental cheese混合,此2種芝士混合起來味濃,他不能接受;我卻吃得津津有味。
最後來了 petits four 與 peninsula tea, 是日petit fours 是 Linz tart, 橙皮朱古力和心型truffles。Linz tart 酸酸的不錯, 橙皮朱古力的質感像啫喱糖,我最欣賞的莫過於心型truffles,內面是滑溜的朱古力ganache和脆脆,很香。
窩心地,侍應奉上的peninsula tea,另外再奉上熱牛奶。喝一口peninsula tea,令整頓午餐畫上完美的句號。
熱帶氣息的雞尾酒

    It should come as no surprise that with any fine dining restaurant, the wait is normally a few weeks. Chesa's no exception, but this place was truly worth the wait! Especially for cheese lovers... this place is cheese heaven. Amid the grandeur of the Peninsula, you almost would miss the humble entrance of this restaurant. From the outside walking in, it looks like some storage room. Inside, however, is a dimly-lit, cozy Victorian-style living room. The perfect setting for dates and nice for small family gatherings, but kids under age 3 are supposedly not allowed in according to the website. Whether they observe this rule is beyond me.

    Service
    As expected, the waiters here were very friendly and ready to assist. Your glass doesn't go empty, or at least not for a long time. Also helpful with food selection if you're not sure what to order.

    Food
    [Riesling]
    If you like overly sweet and carbonated wine (I do!), order the bottle from Mosel, Germany. It will complement your meal.

    [Bread basket]
    Let's start with the bread basket, as that's complimentary and always comes first. Nothing too special about the bread. Unfortunately it wasn't one of those where you could simply savor the flavor of the bread. I had to add butter. The pretzel bread was nice though - imagine a lightly salted and very soft pretzel but in the shape of an American football. It was pleasant and I wish they had served more of that

    [raclette]
    Following the mediocre bread, I was relieved to find that the raclette cheese was sooo gooooddd. A slice of cheese thinner than the plate itself. I compared this to the raclette at Swiss Chalet and found this to be better. It was bit burnt (which I liked) and didn't have much seasoning on top, which left the cheese in its almost natural state *drool* Served with potatoes and a side of olives, gherkins, and pickled onions. Eat together with the cheese. Yums!

    [champagne fondue]
    Mouthwatering and delicious. I LOVED IT. The cheese used was emmental, a Swiss cheese that is popular for fondues. It has a creamy and light sweet flavour, and blends well with plain sour dough. The bit of champagne did not overpower the melted cheese, but rather complemented it. I found both the fragrance and the taste of this enriching. I lost count of how many bread cubes I dipped into the pot. It was just too good to resist >.<

    [veal with mushrooms and cream sauce]
    This came a bit later, when I was almost full from the cheese. Luckily I had some room left in my stomach for this, because it was again amazing. The veal was thin and tender, and the creamy, gravy-like sauce - which was a little on the salty side - goes well with the blander potato sticks meshed together like a hash brown.

    [chocolate house]
    One word: overrated. I was already full at this point but took a few bites. It looks cute, but doesn't mean it's good. Maybe I just like sweeter and thicker pieces of chocolate. The vanilla ice cream was also just alright, nothing too spectacular.

    Verdict
    Given the price, atmosphere and quality of the service and entrees, and the fact that I'm a cheese lover, I'd gladly come back. Wouldn't order the dessert, but yes to more cheese, meat and wine
