Chiu Yuet Fong is a classic Cantonese restaurant located in Grand Mayfull hotel. This is definitely one of the best places for Cantonese cuisine and dim sum I've ever been to. A five-star rating is well deserved in every aspect.
The interior design of Chiu Yuet Fong is a concoction of traditional elegance and stylish touches, tables are comfortably spaced that you get a bit of privacy for yourself as well as the racket of the restaurant to bring up the appetite. Service and other stuff are also flawless. All in all give me a sense of upscale quality but without the intimidation that often come along with.
We ordered a few dim sums and they are all fantastic, especially shrimp dumpling (har gow) and Patty with turnip shreds, out of this world! Other cuisines are also great. Cantonese fried noodle is authentic but upgraded with quality seafood like scallop and abalone. The Dongpo Pork is savory and comes with delicate bums, and I somehow find their little garnish pickled vegetable extraordinary, not the kind of garnish that you'd put much effort on, but they had it nicely done even with these seemingly unimportant details.
One dish that I was a bit disappointed is the beef rib stew; they are poorly presented with an average taste.
Lots of the dishes here come as one-person portion, which is nice. You could easily taste a little bit of everything even without big company. As it is close to Dragon Boat Festival, we also got to order some rice dumplings. There are ones that are more traditional and yet sophisticated, which are simply the original rice dumpling and Cantonese rice dumpling. Actually the Cantonese rice dumpling comes with a little delighting twist that some Huadiao (Chinese yellow wine) was added. Yeah, why not? One that really blew my mind was the Peranakan-style (a blending Chinese, Malay and Indonesian cooking techniques and ingredient) rice dumpling. This is not your ordinary rice dumpling, it's exotic and flavorful, and no doubt the most impressive rice dumpling I've ever had! Last but not least, we had the sweet rice dumpling for dessert; it's perfectly balanced between each ingredient. It also seems like a healthier choice for its less sweetened and mix of black rice. We are genuinely satisfied with this piece of artwork.
Overall, Chiu Yuet Fong has the top-notch quality and taste and with a reasonable price tag, this restaurant would be in my pocket list...
Read moreCame here for a special duck meal, 3 ways. The duck skin and meat wrapped in thin pancakes were pretty good, a bit too greasy, but with good roasted flavors. The second way we chose was stir fried duck meat wrapped in lettuce, unfortunately, the duck meat cubes were a bit dry. The third way was my favorite:rice noodles with taro cooked in duck bones soup. This was a great combination, delicious soup, complemented by taro cubes. The restaurant was decorated brightly, very comfortable...
Read more話說疫情前逢年過節,都會前往大直探視年邁的乾爸、乾媽,每回總是來去匆匆~
只知這裡號稱是台北最新穎、最前衛,辦公大廈林立之新街區。有許多知名地標(美麗華)、星級飯店(美福、萬豪)與各式各樣的美食餐廳、賣場。但未曾好好去認識這個街區或品味這裡最美好的時光~
以往家族聚餐總是在自家舉辦,這次為了給年邁老木,一個特別喜樂的生日派對!經考量疫情、用餐環境、子孫枝葉繁盛…
加上看了許多台北星級飯店的餐館,最後選擇了美福—潮粵坊(玉璽廳)用餐。這樣所有家人都可以盛裝出席,盡情品味這甜蜜、溫馨、美好、喜樂的星級食光與優美浪漫氛圍。
台北美福大飯店位於中山區樂群二路55號,不同於其他國際集團酒店,為台灣自創品牌的五星級國際飯店,歷時5年興建,斥資超過百億建造而成,於2016年一開幕即獲得世界奢華酒店及世界旅遊酒店組織的獎項肯定。
一進門雙眼就被華麗的裝潢牢牢抓住,左右雙邊設計迴旋梯直達二樓宴會廳,三層樓挑高設計,搭配華麗的水晶吊燈,大量花崗岩建材,高格調的藝術造景擺設,有濃厚的歐式古典風情,美得讓人佇足。不只有住宿,更有多家知名餐飲名店可供選擇。能於百億建造的華麗古典建物內享用美食,也是人生一大樂事。
「潮粵坊」為美福大飯店內的餐飲名店之一,以選用世界各地採購的頂級高檔魚貨,搭配本地特色土產料理,以道地廣東菜、潮州菜搭配港式飲茶聞名。
有別於美福大飯店主建築為新古典主義風格,「潮粵坊」裝潢多採木飾及暖系色彩。開放式用餐區相當寬闊,桌與桌之間距離夠寬,不用擔心用餐過程中受其他用餐者干擾到,天花板有菜名木板裝飾,每片木板上的菜名均不同,相當有趣。另有一間大包廂及兩間半開放式小包廂,很適合家庭、私人聚會。
琥珀色典雅的私人包廂—玉璽廳,內有一大桌、一小桌,桌上除了有精美餐具,主桌上方還有一華麗氣派的水晶燈,另外還有這間包廂專屬的洗手間,沙發椅休憩區,木製掛衣架(外套或隨身包能掛置在上方)。
我們的菜色:前菜有主廚迎賓八小碟「攬菜四季豆 /金沙魚皮 /鮮蝦韭菜餅 /蜜汁叉燒肉 /蒜炒丁香魚 /翻沙芋頭 /再乳豬腳 /椒鹽百花鮮魷」。主菜有「名爐馳名片皮鴨 /粵式金湯海皇羹(位上 )/柏蘿沙拉手撕鴨 /清蒸海上鮮 / 金牌脆皮雞 /鴨架芋頭米粉湯 /炸豆腐奶 /寶島四季鮮水果。」菜色豐富,有特色(家人都說不錯,光前菜就吃好飽)。
尤其,招牌「京式片皮鴨」,聽說為嚴選3.5公斤的宜蘭櫻桃鴨,以八角、薑蔥與醃醬塞肚後,縫針燙皮,經沖涼、上糖醋、風乾、烤香等工序始完成,搭配以西式3層午茶架裝盛的配料一同上桌。
在上桌前,年輕師傅會將烤好的鴨,推到桌邊,讓大家欣賞片鴨秀,只見鴨皮金黃油亮,片鴨過程鴨肉的豐厚油脂滴落,伴隨烤鴨的香氣,實在太逼人。這道「京式片皮鴨」有紅麴、青蔥和蕎麥三種手工特製餅皮,搭配的醬汁和配菜也有三種選擇,以甜麵醬、紫蘇梅醬及青醬三種醬料為主軸,還可搭配不同配菜如芒果乾、剝皮辣椒、醃嫩薑等,入口層次多元的鹹甜滋味,爽口不油膩,愛吃烤鴨的一定要來品嚐這種特殊滋味。
個人因掌控整場家族聚會的拍攝記錄工作,因此偶爾才會回席小嘗一些,加上平時吃清淡慣,少吃重口味的美食佳肴,所以隨興吃了前菜的金沙魚皮、鮮蝦韭菜餅、蜜汁叉燒肉,主菜的名爐馳名片皮鴨 、柏蘿沙拉手撕鴨 、金牌脆皮雞...
