今天在超市再次碰到了澳洲的有機牛尾,所以就再炮製了這盆美味的拿手好菜。
中午有空所以弄了這腕似模似樣的東西出來,哈哈。
薑、蒜、乾粉、正宗的上海糟鹵汁、雲耳,這次還特別買了紐西蘭的青衣柳而不選便宜的龍俐柳,最後竟然還是失敗了。
味道太鹹而且沒有酒香的味道,青衣柳也比較老, 看來各種材料的對比和火候應該出問題了,唯一滿意的是賣相還可以,哈哈。。。
稍後要再請教媽媽才成。
太太的朋友做食材進口生意,所以今天有幸第一次自己煎正宗的西班牙黑毛(Black Iberian Pig)豬扒,口感很像廣東叉燒、很彈牙、而且有股以前的濃郁肥豬肉味道。
I used to be a cheese cake lover, the best one I remember was the New York cheese cake from Mandarin Oriental (HK) cake shop. Then I had too much of it, so I quit.
This little shop in downtown Vancouver was definitely a rediscovery of cheese cake for me, especially the unique taste of this Maple Walnut one and the double chips chocolate cookie as the compliment!
今天是個特別的日子﹐去了本地杭州菜老字號“天香樓”慶祝﹐地方不難找因為之前經常經過。
前晚還特別做了事前研究﹐所以心裡大概有了個菜單。
80幾年的老鋪果然很有味道﹐我特別喜歡這裡六七年代的感覺。小店只有7張台﹐大概20來個客人加上幾個員工和老闆娘。
天香樓的陳年花雕酒果然香氣撲鼻﹐新來的店員還很有心地問我們要不要先暖酒才上。這次服務態度很好﹐很友善﹐跟幾年前第一次5分鐘不到就離座的不愉快經歷截然不同﹐那次可能是個持老賣老的開國員工吧。
我小時候最喜歡吃東坡肉﹐曾經試過找遍西湖邊的各大名菜館子﹐為的就是吃到最好的東坡肉﹐當年第一的居然也是天香樓﹐當然香港的這間才是老祖宗字號。
天香樓最出名的蟹粉雖然好吃﹐但沒傳說中那麼“犀利”。
天香樓的價錢也和其食物質量之高完全成正比﹐一年才一次﹐沒問題啦。
倒是今晚的膽固醇完全超標了﹐達到爆燈指數。
最後還巧遇蘇民峰師傅和女友在鄰桌用膳﹐真人跟電視上差不多。
I was surprised when I saw this carton shape Salty Roasted Drum Stick for dinner!
I really enjoy cooking this kind of stuff on a quiet Sunday morning. I still remember Nonna (Grandma in Italian, my land lady) used to cook this yummy dish every Sunday during my 2 years stay in Chichester, West Sussex, England, wow…that was 20 years ago.
Mix Greens from Australia, Cherry Tomatoes from Israel, Organic Cucumber from Local, Feta Cheese from Greek, and a touch of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic from Italy. Together with a slice of home baked bread and some left over Carbonara, this makes a perfect lunch!
The cost for the salad per serve is about HK$25, way cheaper and healthier than buying the ready-made ones from super market, this price of course not counting the labor that is.
