#食況轉播 #在家吃態芮

從樂群三路開車回家的途中，滿室馨香。那是經過火炙、洋溢梅納反應的動物脂香，從一上車的剎那，即自後方座位擴散流瀉，填滿感官。

罪魁禍首是烤雞。

上週，Tairroir 態芮的何順凱主廚得意洋洋跟我說，他買了新冰箱，要來風乾全雞。我激他，你這個敗家子，他撂下狠話：「等妳來外帶聞到香味就知道。」

回到家，洗好手，速速開箱，掀開烤雞的鋁箔紙，用指甲尖敲敲表面，皮還是脆的！蓋回鋁箔紙，大烤箱設定攝氏150度，我把烤雞放進去保溫。

先來吃前菜。炙烤北海道干貝沙拉，嫩葉鮮脆，醬汁豐美，鮮鹹酸亮齊備，原來是熟蛋酒醋醬（Sauce Gribiche）的變奏，煮熟的蛋黃不打到乳化，而是和蛋白一起切碎，混入鯷魚、橄欖、酸豆、檸檬汁、橄欖油等等材料，和葉菜中藏著的蒜片一起吃，更有滋有味。角蝦、百合、綠竹筍也好，是內用菜色的變奏，煎香的角蝦放涼依舊美味，檸檬皮芬芳撲鼻，蘸上枸杞伯那西醬（Bearnaise），甜美圓潤。

啤酒麵糊炸魚，麵衣好鬆好輕喔！除了英式炸魚配方中啤酒的氣泡，何順凱的秘密是，用米粉，而且是三種米粉。我只能說到這裡了。

解決了前菜，終於，要挑戰分切烤雞。態芮團隊非常貼心地拍攝了切雞教學影片，掃一掃卡片上的QR code，就會連上Google Drive，內含影片與菜單解說，點開影片，就看到何順凱主廚的倩影。

哎喲，切雞好複雜喔，我先割下二隻腿二隻翅再說。

刀子一碰觸到雞皮，喀啦一聲，太好聽了。雞汁汩汩流出，哎呀呀，管不了那麼多了，順利找到關節，斬斷，皮肉未分離，收工。

這烤雞，太好吃了！很久沒吃到這樣本格派的美味烤雞！皮極脆，肉有味，濕潤多汁，沒有蒙蔽雞味的香料，也沒有分心的填料，就是，烤雞飽滿的原味。

看似素樸的背後藏了很多工夫。雞選用的是嘉義梅山文昌雞，飼養一百四十天的母雞，價格偏高，先以鹽滷水（brine）十二小時，再風乾三天（冰箱派上用場了！），用Rational烤箱原裝特殊烤架烤製。鹽滷水裡有香料、檸檬等等，但只是幽微地滲透雞身，賦予保水度，烤出來，雞本身的香氣非常明顯。脆皮還有一秘訣：如烤鴨一般，上了脆皮水，比例稀釋過的糖與醋，其實在品味香脆雞皮時，會嚐到一絲甜味。

「但最重要的還是冰箱啦，沒有風乾，脆皮水也沒用。」何順凱極力主張，敗家有理。

還有甜點主廚賴思瑩的巧手作品：Paris-Brest、咖啡榛果巧克力塔、檸檬起司慕斯塔、馬達加斯加香草布丁。連明日午茶都有著落了！

還有接下來二日的伙食。我已經想好了，烤雞剩下的骨架，我要拿來熬湯，加進蔬菜，一定很香。

🌿龍艾又有法國艾草(French Mugwort)的別名，是因與亞洲常見的艾草(Artemisia argyi)，同屬於蒿屬(Artemisia)。在法國被稱為是「四香草」之一，是高級法國料理常用的香料，例如：法式伯那西醬(Bearnaise Sauce)，以及著名法式烤蝸牛🐌，都會使用龍艾做為香料添加。

常見的品種有法國龍艾(French tarragon，學名A. dracunculus L.)與俄國龍艾(Russian tarragon，學名：A. dracunculoides L.)；法國龍艾味道較為濃烈，較常作為香料添加於料理中；而俄國龍艾氣味較柔和、香味較淡，缺少茴香味，辛香料的價值較低，通常用於沙拉提味。

龍艾在芳療的應用上屬於醚類精油，甲基蒟酚約含有65~86%，經常用於人體下半身，安撫身心的「痛」。氣味上則類似羅勒，也帶點茴香的氣味，是一支充滿濃濃天然香草香料味的精油。

For this episode, we went down to The Feather Blade at Tanjong Pagar to destroy a MASSIVE Feather Blade Steak Platter! The Feather Blade specialises in a single cut of steak, the flat iron. There are only 2 mains at The Feather Blade – 200g of grilled flat iron steak ($21++) and a Japanese-inspired Gyudon Bowl ($28++) with marinated flat iron steak.

My platter consisted of 5 steaks, 2 gyudon bowls, 5 foie gras, 5 scallops, 3 servings of potatoes, 2 bowls of spinach, 2 bowls of corn and 2 off-the-menu burgers. The owner, who also does food photography, masterfully arranged the food into a beautiful display.

Every piece of beef served was cooked beautifully to a medium rare, including the patties. The steak was mostly tender with a bit of bite to it while bursting with flavour. The gyudon steak was marinated in yakiniku sauce, making it slightly sweet and pairing wonderfully with the flavoured gyudon rice.

Each dish was elevated in some way, even the sides. The corn had smoked cream, the spinach was spiced and had cheese added and the potatoes were cooked in beef fat. The secret menu item, their beef burger, was made with beef trimmings and sauced with bearnaise. It was a delicious way to use up leftover parts of beef. They also offer sauces, including unique options like wasabi cream and uni butter, to go with your steak.

Protein-heavy challenges are usually a struggle for me but the food here was worth the effort. Places that specialise in certain cuisines/dishes usually catch my eye and the expertise here in the way they treat their flat iron cut (and their interesting sides and sauces) really shows. They also have a bar where you can pair your meal with refreshing alcoholic beverages. Do visit The Feather Blade for a mouth-watering steak feast!
