798 Unit & Co.

Had a nice dinner with Mr. Lee before he goes to UK again.

The spacey interior of the gastropub. Nice place to meet a friend.

Chocolate Martini
Carried the smell of chocolate and orange. I do not really like the scent of orange but this cocktail was nice.

Clams in cream sauce and herbs, and garlic toast
The clams were fresh and had seawater taste, and the amount was quite generous. Nice dish.

Chilled cucumber soup with avocado and coriander yogurt, served with cumin tiger prawn skewer
It looks too illuminous with the flash light! The combination of cucumber soup and yogurt are refreshing and light, and as a soup / appetizer it did it's job of raising appetite right. However the prawn was tasteless despite the heavy layer of cumin cover.

Ravioli of fire-roasted tomato and basil fava beans, smoked capsicum and mascapone cream
It's a vegetarian choice. The mascapone cheese sauce was a bit thick, but overall the ravioli was a fab. Each of the ingredients are with strong and different characteristics. When they come together in one dish as this ravioli, they get along so well. I especially love the roasted heirloom tomatoes. Sweet and juicy and got some taste of roasting.
Sure I will order this dish again when I visit this gastropub next time.

利久庵

在利久庵吃的一頓午餐。

這是我點的醬油漬吞拿魚定食。

前菜 (由上至下) 有沙律、煮蓮藕及甘筍, 及漬物。

茶碗蒸。
蒸得夠輕夠滑, 是合格的水準。

湯烏冬。

醬油漬吞拿魚丼。
吞拿魚經過醬油醃漬後變得軟滑, 跟鮮吃相比又是另一番味道, 仍帶吞拿魚赤身本來的微酸, 又多了醬油的酒香和鹹味。

蒜香燒牛舌
牛舌很薄, 完全沒有味道, 早知如此就不會點道菜。

黑芝麻雪糕。
