al Picchio @ 羅馬 - 羅馬許願池旁的晚餐 / Dinner at the Roma Fontana di Trevi

al Picchio @ 羅馬 - 在羅馬許願池旁的晚餐

April 15, 2013 

許願池, 傳說是只要你向後投擲錢幣就會再回到羅馬, 你相信嗎?  Anyway, 今天我許了一個願, 希望會成真啦! :P


Fontana di Trevi
因為沒有做 research, 所以只好憑直覺去找東西吃. 就在許願池旁有一間 ristorante 叫 al Picchio (link) 度食羅馬的第一次晚餐.


Ristorante al Picchio
依次我們 order 左水一支 (意大利無免費水供應), Seafood Risotto, Parma ham pizza 同薯條 (奇! 又在意大利 order 美國嘢) 同免費的麵包. 支水無特別, 不過就成 3 EUR (Naturale 指無氣), "生命之源", 無辨法! D麵包都係無特別, 只係硬! 所以我見唔多本地人食D麵包.


Acqua = Water

好! 輪到果Seafood Risotto, 果飯D海鮮種類雖然多又新鮮同冇雪味, 但可惜這次的主角是燉飯或焾飯. D飯偏硬但有口感, Al Dente! 而且D汁(高湯)有一種海鮮同白酒的味道, 毎食一啖都是享受.

再到個 Parma ham pizza, 簡簡單單的一個pizza, 咬第一下時你先會感受到脆脆同炭爐新鮮焗出來的香同熱, 再咬一下時你會感受到芝士的濃, 最後到D Parma ham 時, 你會感受到火煺的咸香但帶甜的口味. 一個pizza可以滿足你的味蕾, 實在不得了!

在意大利不論男女都能吃光全個 pizza, 但我們合二人之力, 最後還是不能完全食清光, 罪過罪過!

最後到碟薯條, 一般, 算罷啦!


French Fries
最最後, 意大利人餐餐都要有紅 / 白酒作伴, 可惜本人不敢飮醉之後留落街頭, 唔識路返酒店, 所以冇叫酒飲, 可惜可惜!

April 15, 2013 - Dinner at the Roma Fontana di Trevi

Do you want your wish comes true? If yes, please goto the Fontana di Trevi, back to it, throw a coin and make a wish sincerely. Once you do all of it, I strongly believe your wish will come true!

So what's good to eat around that famous sightseeing spot? I had no clue when I was there and it's my bad that I missed to do the research before the trip. So we just ran into a ristorante called al Picchio (link) at the corner and we ordered a bottle of still water (yes, no tap water to provide in Italy), seafood risotto, parma ham pizza and french fries for our first dinner in Italy.

For seafood risotto, I can see it's really "al dente". Seafood was fresh but I could say it is the "supporting character" only. Risotto was the "major character" as the every piece of rice was creamy, had some resistance and was covered by seafood source with white wine. Every bite was so enjoyable.

For the parma ham pizza, "hot and crispy" was the first signal my brain received from my tongue  Then the second signal was the smell and taste of cheese in which it was perfectly match with thin crust and parma ham since the cheese was not so strong. The third signal was from the parma ham in which the taste of ham was so sweet. In short, I wanted to shout "Mamma Mia" when I was eating the pizza

For french fries, the taste was OK but i picked the wrong choice in wrong country....whatever!

Bases on my observation, every Italian can finish a whole piece of pizza. But for me and my wife, it was so challenging to finish all the slices....what a shame! Besides, Italian must order a cup of Red / White wine for dinner. However, I didn't want to get drunk and get lost on my way back to Hotel in Italy, so I opt out idea of enjoying wine with risotto and pizza...what a shame again!       

VyTa Boulangeria Italiana @ 羅馬 - 羅馬的早餐 / First Meal in Rome

 VyTa Boulangeria Italiana @ 羅馬 - 羅馬的早餐

April 15, 2013

小弟同太太第一次去歐洲玩, 第一站是意大利的羅馬, 雖然一句意大利文都唔識, 但無阻去增廣見聞的決心 (是關小弟都唔細, 依家唔玩都唔知幾時有得玩!)


OK, 酒店Check-In完後, 立即跑去羅馬最繁忙的鐵路站-Roma Termini 揾野食先. 見到一間叫VyTa Boulangeria Italiana (link) 的輕食餐館 (主要serve sandwiches, panini, pizza 同 coffee), 見入面有唔少人, 唔想太多就衝入去試下. 


VyTa


我點左個Otranto (Buffalo's mozzarella DOP, turkey, dried tomatoes and olive oil) , 太太點左個Milano (Turkey, rocket salad, mozzarella and olive oil). 兩個panini都好好味, 好新鮮, 充滿olive oil味. 但係個麵包就硬左D, 有少少食唔慣, 不過好重麥味, 好香, 意大利的麵包就是這樣, 入鄉隨族啦!


Otranto
Milano


食完個panini後, 當然要叫杯咖啡“品味”一下, 所以我就order左杯Mocha, 諗住杯Mocha會好似香港"星巴X"果種, 點知原來係杯Espresso. 我當時先醒起意大利是沒有Mocha, Mocha是美國的. 所以當我order Mocha 時, 果意大利 counter 姐姐就意謂我想要杯用Moka Pot沖的Espresso. 不過錯有錯著, 杯Espresso真的很香濃 很滑, 飲完後有種甜味留在口裏, 你們看到杯Espresso的掛杯現象就知杯咖啡非比尋常!



My "Mocha", actually it's Espresso
Ok! 食完立即出發去鬥獸場!




April 15, 2013 - First Meal in Rome

This is my first time to visit Europe. My wife and me were feeling very so excited even we don't know how to speak Italian language. Anyway, the first stop is Rome, Italy....Ciao!

After we did the check-in in the hotel, we rushed back to Roma Termini (one of the busiest train & metro stations in Rome) for our first meal and we came across a cafe called VyTa Boulangeria Italiana (link) which serve sandwiches, panini, pizza and coffee. There were quite a lot of people inside and so we decided to have a try in there.

I ordered Otranto (Buffalo's mozzarella DOP, turkey, dried tomatoes and olive oil) and my wife ordered Milano (Turkey, rocket salad, mozzarella and olive oil). OMG! Both of the panini were so delicious, the vegetable was so fresh, the mozzarella was so yummy and all of them were full of the taste of olive oil! I think it's really hard to find something similar in Hong Kong....!?

After we finished the panini, I ordered a cup of Mocha which I thought it just like the one in "Starbuxks. Actually I was wrong when the waitress passed me the coffee and it was an Espresso. When I saw the Espresso, I rang the bell that Mocha is an American product which there is no such thing in Italy. Anyhow, I ordered wrong coffee, but I made a right choice accidentally. The Espresso was so rich and powerful, the taste of coffee was running inside my month again and again....Delizioso!!!

OK! That's our first meal in Rome and it made us a day! After we finished it, we rushed to our first sightseeing spot - Colosseo...!!!

再興燒爉 @ 灣仔 - 叉飯的浪漫 / Joy Hing Roasted Meat@Wan Chai


再興燒爉 @ 灣仔 – 叉飯的浪漫

從港島區搬到九龍區居住同工作後,  就已經再沒有去再興燒爉食叉燒飯.  難得今日屋企無飯開, 決定去灣仔整碟飯浪漫吓!

晚飯時段, 人流不絕, 好在角落有一個位, 如果唔係就要企門口等位 (食碟叉燒飯都要等位, 依間嘢真巴閉).

ANYWAY, 一坐低立即ORDER 一碟半肥瘦叉燒飯加一碟蘿白. 先講碟飯,  半肥瘦叉燒肥瘦比例剛剛好, 叉燒味有層次, 不會太甜, 而肉質軟滑鬆軟又不覺有筋,  再加入馳名的甜豉油,  D味道就
好似魚水之歡咁, 融合一齊, 舌頭大動,爆好味!


再講碟蘿白, 看似平平無奇, 但當放入口一咬就發覺D蘿白鲜甜無比,  果種甜不是死甜, 非筆墨能形容, 如果你去再興食飯, 叫碟蘿白試吓你就知.


雖然沒有青島, 但吃罷令男人感到浪漫的一餐, 暫時只有再興燒爉做得到!

結論:
E間舖可以一試,然後再試
