前陣子在樂富丼丼屋試食活動的記憶猶新,這晚又與友人跑到圓方來尋覓新品系列中的美味。圓方分店與樂富的不同,少了街坊式的親民感,更多了份“尊貴”,整體偏暗的室內光線讓人在店外取號等位期間覺得裏面黑洞洞的神秘,也感覺與亮晃晃的商場有些小小格格不入。當晚到的時候門口已守候十來號的顧客,與友人扶著商場欄杆閒聊不知不覺間也等了好久,入到內也只能安排在吧台區域,觀察室內的整體佈置,以一大片木質屏風做間隔,將就餐區與服務走道劃分開,而吧台區域則以占地不小的商場圓柱為中心,餐廳的開放式廚房模式還是一如既往的呈現出來,零零散散的擺放些和風十足的清酒樽、生果樽等等既能做裝飾也能起到一定間隔的作用。
The memory of tasting event about this Japanese restaurant is still fresh, while that night I went to another branch store in Elements again with my friend in order to try other Dong (Japanese Rice Bow) of this new series. The store in Elements is different from the Lok Fu's, which is more neighborhood-style, probably for it locates in shopping mall. From outside, it's mysterious dark inside and, it seems a little unpaired with the bright shopping mall either. We really chat for quite a time outside before we could go into for our late dinner; unsurprisedly, we are at bar area. A simple Japanese decoration inside with two separated areas, bar & normal tables. The open kitchen is as usual behind bar table, which let you see the busy chefs working there. They put some Japanese rice wine bottles and fruits baskets there, a soft decoration and a good interval function.
前陣子丼丼屋一口氣推出18款新品丼飯,既有刺身類也有熱食類。每一款主菜加$20即可轉作套餐,配有前菜、沙律、腌製小食以及味增湯,抵食非常。現點現煮的關係,下單后需要多等些時間才能真正開飯。鰻魚丼是用石鍋來盛的,另用一個木質高臺墊高,有種小小尊貴的感覺,不過請恕我粗俗,我一下子就想歪了。
The restaurant release their new products with 18 kinds of new Dong and other salad, desserts. You can add another $20 to upgrade with one appetizer, one Japanese soup, one salad and some little snack. It's really a good deal. Since they will cook after receiving your order, it really takes some time to wait, while believe me, it's worthy. The steamed eel Dong is presented in a stone bow on a wooden table; guess they want to give you more luxury feel, however, what image coming out in my brain is something not good before a meal.
食日料,不可少的便是那些五顏六色的腌製小食,多以白蘿蔔或是薑片為主,配以酸甜開胃的醬汁來腌製,既有略帶水分的爽脆口感,又能呈現不同的清新風味,酸甜當然是不可少的一味,有時更有些辛辣的刺激(若是用上薑片),喜好與否就因人而異了。
Each time for Japanese food, the snacks made of radish or ginger is a must and it's free LOL. Japanese like to use sweet and sour sauce to make this dish in order to stimulate your appetite. I love this dish, for its juicy and fresh taste and, the sweet and sour sauce normally works well for a good appetite, while sometimes I hate those gingers which are too hot!
日式味增湯,本人並非粉絲一枚。這碗混蕩蕩的味增湯稍稍攪勻可看得到裏面的一大塊白玉似的豆腐,少量海帶以及小小的菇類。味增湯總體口味較清淡,鹹味不重,或者說是有些偏淡的,這一點倒是正合我這種不喜鹹味的人群;豆腐特有的香氣以及菌菇類的那種泥土氣息較突出,湯的口味除了豆香之外另有一份微微的酸氣,相信是其中菇類的作用,整體感覺也較平衡,喝著也舒服。
Japanese soup is famous of its light. There are bean curd, kelp and mushrooms in it. It tastes lightly salty, or you could say it's not salty enough, while someone like me who have a light taste, it's good. There's a mixed taste of bean curd and mushroom in it as well, a little bit like fresh soil, other than that, I also find a slight sour feeling; I'm sure it's from those mushrooms. Anyway the soup has a balanced taste and, you feel so comfortable for it.
豆腐配上香濃芝麻醬是前陣子豆腐沙律中的一部份,日本豆腐擁有極其細緻滑嫩的質感,與口中是絕對的滑溜溜,但比起中國的豆腐,其豆腥味則少了很多,所以配上特質的芝麻醬則搖身一變變味一道“沙律”;芝麻醬其中除了芝麻的香氣之外,口味是以好似白汁沙律醬的甜酸為主,質地較稀,故不覺滯,酸度亦較輕怡,故不覺膩,悠悠的芝麻香更是讓人一口接一口。
This appetizer is one part of Tofu Salad (just without lettuce). Japanese tofu has a super smooth texture, so in your mouth, it tastes so soft; compared to Chinese tofu, it reduces the special taste of bean curd, which someone dislike. Accompanied with sesame sauce, it tastes more like a salad with a mixed sweet& sour salad sauce taste and sesame fragrance. The sauce is thin and it doesn't taste too sour, thus you'll not feel greasy at all. The sesame works perfect to induce you finish it very fast.
沙律的取材相當簡單,小番茄、少量新鮮生菜以及粟米粒,沒有任何的醬汁,是一道相當清爽的沙律。其中發揮最好的要屬粟米粒,粒粒飽滿,于齒間迸發出清甜的水分來。
Salad just uses the simplest materials like baby tomato, lettuce and sweet corns, without any sauce! I love those sweet corns most; each one is full of sweet water inside.
終於到鰻魚丼,8塊淋上深紅醬汁的鰻魚塊鋪滿整晚飯,中間墊上一層金黃色的蛋皮,下面的飯粒粒粒分明,呈現晶瑩的白色。一啖鰻魚肉,燒製的恰好,鰻魚肉吃起來相當軟嫩,綿綿的肉質間填充著微微的油脂,吃起來略微有些膠質的粘膩;深紅醬汁甜度也適中,不會過甜,賦予濃郁的口味,配上少量芝麻,香甜非常;即使是最頂層的那絲絲洋蔥絲,點上少量醬汁來吃,也是清甜。
Finally, we come to the Steamed Eel Dong (Rice Bow). With dark red sauce, the eel meat covers the whole bow of rice, in the middle there's a egg skin, the Japanese rice under looks crystal white. The well-cooked eel tastes super soft; between each slide of fish texture, there's the fish oil; you could feel a little sticky when you chew the eel meat slowly. The dark red sauce has a well-controlled sweet, giving a strong taste of the eel meat and reduce the greasy feeling; add little sesame, it smell good as well. Even the onion slides on the top tastes sweet and fresh with little sauce.
中間層的蛋皮稍稍有些煎的時間過長,口感有些老,蛋味亦平平。下面的飯粒因為石鍋的熱度已開始漸漸變成鍋巴的狀態;一向愛好鍋巴的我當然是驚喜萬分,執著的掛著鍋子,將整個石鍋挖的一乾二淨!飯粒稍硬,需要耐心慢嚼,漸漸變軟的飯粒才會慢慢釋放澱粉的甜味,鰻魚混著甜醬的油脂早已滲透入飯粒中,故口感亦不乾澀也不單薄;飯粒混著少量油分吃起來不失鰻魚的香甜之味,吃到最邊緣,則是帶有濃濃焦香的硬脆鍋巴,一飯兩食,怎能不滿足?
The egg skin cooks over time, thus it tastes not that smooth and fairly. The rice is good while, and what my favorite part is those rice becoming a little focal; we call it 'GuoBa'. I just try to scoop out them all!!! The rice is a little hard, so need to chew slowly, then you could feel a slight sweet coming out; the eel oil with sweet sauce has already been into the rice, thus do not need to worry about the taste of rice. The rice mixes with rich fish oil; you will find it taste really sweet similar to the taste of eel meat with sauce, but not greasy. When coming to the bottom, it's the happy time for me to enjoy those GuoBa. One rice gives you two ways to enjoy, that's amazing right?
友人點的吉列咖喱雞扒飯,賣相既簡單又誘人,簡簡單單幾塊炸的金黃的雞扒伴著不那麼厚重的日式咖喱汁,鮮紅色的腌蘿蔔點綴一邊。雞扒裹上薄薄一層麵粉,輕油來炸,吃起來不會感到過分油膩,裏面的雞肉則保留滑嫩的肉質且非常多汁。咖喱汁亦調的恰好,不杰不稀,辣度亦極低,香甜惹味。
My friend order her favorite chicken cultet curry, which also has an attractive appearance. It is separated by rice and fried chicken, which are fried to be golden and accompanied with curry. The chicken is covered with a thin layer of flour and fried with clean oil, thus it doesn't taste greasy or oily; chicken meat inside stays juicy and soft. Japanese curry is not thin, not thick either; not spicy but sweet.
