香港尖沙咀食記 Dining in Tsim Sha Tsui - Delaney's Kowloon & Lab Made

星期五晚,當然是相約朋友的最佳日子!
所以,今晚和朋友一行三人,一起前往尖沙嘴一間Bar & Restaurant名叫Delaney’s Kowloon吃晚飯。

Friday night is always a happy night to hang out with friends!

Therefore, tonight my friends and I went to a bar & restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui - Delaney's Kowloon.

Delaney's Kowloon是一間愛爾蘭酒吧,所以又怎少得喝酒(笑)?!我們叫了一杯Guinness Beer和一瓶Apple Cider。因是Happy Hour的關係,飲品餐牌上的飲品都是七折!
Delaney’s Kowloon is an Irish bar, so how can we miss drinking alcohol? We ordered a glass of Guinness Beer and a bottle of Apple Cider. As we were still within Happy Hours, all drinks on the drink menu got a 30% off discount.

飲品來的時候都忘了拍照……可是Apple Cider來錯了,變了Irish Cider,因此將錯就錯,心想嘗嘗另一種飲品也可就喝下了。可是,一喝下來便覺後悔……雖然已經加了冰,但還是有一股咳藥水的味道(吐),到後來,所有冰都融掉時,實在是喝不下去……(汗)
I forgot to take pictures when the drinks came… I found out that Irish Cider came instead of Apple Cider, but I thought, ‘why not grab the chance to try another drink?’. Right after I had the first sip, I totally regretted… It tastes like coughing medicine to me even with ice… So when all the ice melted later, I could not stand drinking it…


我們三人共點了三樣食物:炸魚薯條、凱撒沙律和美式薄餅。
We three ordered 3 dishes: Fish & Chips, Cesar Salad and American Pizza.


 
凱撒沙律的味道還可以,我們加了雞肉,肉質還好,但那個沙律醬的味道不太像其他餐廳吃到的味道,可能是愛爾蘭口味(謎)。我個人來說不太喜歡這個味道因此都只是雞肉加上沙律菜吃。
The Cesar Salad was okay. We added chicken as the side. The meat was quite ok but the salad sauce didn’t taste like those in other restaurants, maybe because it was the Irish flavor (mystery). Personally, this is not my cup of tea, so I just ate the chicken with the veggies.



美式薄餅是三樣食物中最好吃的了。正方形的薄餅,十分熱騰騰!可是這個薄餅麵包較多,餡料較少。薄餅的醬料味道不錯,和薄餅很配!
The American Pizza was the best among the three dishes. The square shaped pizza was very hot when served. But it contained more bread than toppings. The sauce of the pizza was quite nice and matched the pizza quite well.



炸魚薯條的外表好令人期待,好像折禮物的樣子。把包著魚的紙解開,便可看到熱騰騰的炸魚。
The Fish & Chips looked very yum. We unwrapped the paper and saw the hot fried fish.



最期待的炸魚薯條很令人失望啊!魚塊是很大,可是炸魚的外層和內裡的魚肉都分離了。而且外層一點都不脆,軟軟的外層吃下去好難受呢……跟以前在澳洲隨便買回來吃的炸魚有很大的分別!薯條藏在炸魚下,原本脆的薯條因炸魚的熱氣變得軟軟的,所以口感也變差了……
The highly anticipated Fish & Chips was very disappointing! The fish was big but the fried layer and the fish meat were separated… And the fried layer was not crispy at all… It is so different from those I randomly bought in Australia. The fries were placed under the fish and the supposedly crispy fries softened due to the heat of the fried fish, so the texture was also not good…



個人認為,餐廳環境挺寬敞,頗適合與朋友聊天。侍應的服務都不錯,但食物一般,不是太值那個價錢……還有一提,如果大家有儲Asia Miles (亞洲萬里通里數),記得付款時把你的Asia Miles會員卡一併給店員,這樣才可儲到!(不過,要金額過HKD300才可以儲。)

In my opinion, the restaurant is quite spacious which is suitable for friends to gather. The service is ok but the food is really so-so which isn’t quite worth the price. One more thing, if you have the membership of Asia Miles, remember to show your membership card to the waiter when you check the bill. In that way, you can earn the miles if you spend more than HKD300 in the restaurant.

晚飯後,大家決定另找甜品再吃!經過了幾間甜品店,只見滿滿的人群在外等候,所以我們都沒有等下去,結果行到美麗華旁的Lab Made吃分子雪糕。
After dinner, we decided to get some dessert. Passing a few dessert stores, we only found a large crowd waiting outside, so we went to Lab Made Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Laboratory which is near MiraMar Tower to have nitrogen ice-cream.

Lab Made會定時轉換雪糕口味,這次我們試了黑白豆腐花和流沙奶黃包兩種傳統香港點心/糖水味道。在場等候時,還可以看著店員即場製作。

Lab Made changes the flavor of the ice cream regularly, this time we tried black and white douhua (i.e. Douhua which is also called Tofu pudding is a Chinese snack made with layers of tofu.) and salted egg yolk custard bun. These 2 flavours are originated from the traditional Hong Kong dim sum/dessert. While we were waiting for the ice cream, we could see how the staff made the ice cream.



  

這是流沙奶黃包味,外貌看來像是雲呢拿雪糕。但吃下去的時候,就有濃濃的奶黃包味!不愧為分子雪糕!簡直就像在吃凍冰冰的奶黃色!

This one is salted egg yolk custard bun flavour. It looks like vanilla ice cream but when you lick it, you can taste the authentic salted egg custard bun flavor! It just feels like eating a frozen bun!


而這個是黑白豆腐花味。上面的一球吃下去有點像豆腐雪糕的味道,感覺很健康!雪糕上面還撒上黃糖,和吃豆腐花時一樣!下面的一球則有芝麻糊的味道,和上面的豆腐花一起吃,味道很特別!

And this one is black and white douhua which black stands for black sesame soup and white stands for tofu pudding. The top scoop is the tofu pudding flavor. It tastes like tofu ice cream and made me feel so refreshing and healthy. There was even brown sugar sprinkled on top, just looked exactly the same as douhau. The lower scoop is black sesame soup flavor. Mixing with the douhua ice cream, you can enjoy a very special taste.
