Back to restaurants, back to real sophistication. RAW’s @raw_taipei current menu is great in many aspects— advanced details, intricate layers of flavors, excellent execution. It was enjoyable from start to finish. ⁡ The main course was this ANAORI Beef Rice, all the components of which were cooked by this luxurious carbon graphite pot, ANAORI kakugama @anaori_official . The pot is revolutionary in its design, style, function, and its price—the bigger size is asking for a whopping NT$129,900. For sure it will look super cool in your kitchen. ⁡ #食況轉播 #尊貴碳鍋與RAW午宴 ⁡ 今年初，我在Instagram上發現了一個謎般的鍋子，外方內圓，黝黑如炭，照片與影片精雕細琢，形象尊爵。攤開其廣宣名單，哎呀呀，不都是國際級大廚嗎！東京是奧田透，墨西哥是Enrique Olvera，利馬是Virgilio Martinez，義大利阿爾巴是Enrico Crippa。那麼，台北由江振誠 @andrechiang_sg 擔綱，順理成章。 ⁡ 三個神秘黑盒子從RAW的廚房乘著推車出場。江振誠主廚開宗明義：「這鍋子集壓力鍋、鑄鐵鍋、燜燒鍋於一身。」他分別示範了三種用法，第一煮是白米飯，似壓力鍋那般炊出完美晶彈的青森「青天霹靂米」；第二煮是牛菲力，如鑄鐵鍋那般燒出外焦香內瑰嫩的質地；第三煮是鴨肝與高麗菜鑲肉，仿燜燒鍋那樣火力穿透入裡，熟度均勻。 ⁡ 「而且很好看。」江振誠再加一點。 ⁡ 被江振誠說美的鍋子，是「#ANAORI kakugama碳鍋」，由日本的碳素專門製造商「ANAORI Carbon株式會社」成立的全新品牌，瞄準fine dining餐廳與高端家庭用戶。為什麼說高端呢？各位若上官網去查價錢，小尺寸要價NT$74,900，大尺寸要價NT$129,900。買鍋堪比名牌包。 ⁡ 奢侈品的價值未必以實用性來衡量，不過這鍋，確實有獨特的訴求。碳石墨一體成型，這咖鍋，導熱非常優異，畢竟，碳石墨的遠紅外線量是鑄鐵的五倍。日本的燒鳥、燒肉時常強調木炭，就是著眼於遠紅外線，也就不妨將此碳鍋想像為，食材被竹炭包圍著烹調。也因為厚，以及中央的釜型設計，於是也導熱均勻、蓄熱良好。適於直火加熱，烤、燉、煮、炸、蒸皆宜，上方的蓋子，翻過來還可做煎烤盤；中間一層檜木蓋，加熱後會散發優雅香氛。 ⁡ 繼續用原有的壓力鍋、鑄鐵鍋、燜燒鍋當然也可以，功能性與實用性則會限制常人對於鍋具的想像，吧。 ⁡ 別再讓大家誤會我在賣鍋子。託ANAORI之福，我也嚐到了RAW今年開賣以來備受好評的「Andre is back」菜單。 ⁡ 從頭到尾，毫無保留，沒有在手軟的。RAW哪一次不是這樣？而這次，我又明確感受到菜色之精之細，執行準確，那是對於「好吃」的深度理解，藉由一切細解綻放光芒。這的確延續Restaurant ANDRE的DNA，兼有RAW的活潑與動感；而RAW是一間量體比Restaurant ANDRE大得多的餐廳，卻仍能把一道道菜複雜的配件與元素精準呈現，值得喝采。 ⁡ 很喜歡開胃點心中，昆布脆片與熟成帆立貝清脆與軟黏的對比，海帶絲疊上柔韌，不同口感堆積起來的鮮味，閃現油封檸檬的高頻亮香；海膽花生醬天使麵，宛如麻醬拌麵的趣味，卻是甜鹹鮮的完美比例教人折服；尼斯沙拉，以煙燻和魚油貫穿全場，馬鈴薯以煙燻羅勒醬、第戎芥末醬做出差別，香檳醋漬珍珠洋蔥與橄欖油的清新酸脆也很重要。 ⁡ 玉米三重奏，一刀刀片下的玉米彷彿綢緞，果甜搭佐鮮辣（辣烏魚子面疙瘩），頓時味道立體；另以愛樂壓與雞湯萃取穀物、香料與咖啡粉的風味，平添表演性與趣味，加味的雞湯沖進玉米與香草製成的膠囊成為「玉米濃湯」，味道也很討喜。水針魚捲也有細工，捲進的是鱸魚肉與香草碎，蘸上南法燉菜「Barigoule」轉化而來的大蒜、雞湯、朝鮮薊醬汁，或者焦化味噌，都很鮮美可口，發芽小麥柔韌的顆粒感與鮮甜的味道，也加強土壤、種子的風味。 ⁡ 還有百吃不膩（也沒吃那麼多次啦）的「Memory 1997」— 江振誠主廚在法國「感官花園」餐廳創作的第一道菜，溫暖的鴨肝凍、柔美的黑松露醬汁，經典而舒心。 ⁡ 作為ANAORI午宴的主菜，那道釜飯也是非常美味的。飯真的好吃，來自青森的青天霹靂米被炊得飽滿Q彈、粒粒分明，和均勻五分熟的滑嫩牛菲力與水潤油香的鴨肝送作伙，既是解構版羅西尼牛排，也是升級版牛肉丼。 ⁡ 在隔板林立的RAW吃飯，是全新體驗。這是降級後我的第一場餐敘，也唯有回到餐廳，才能實際體會餐廳多麽不可取代。

Summer Bash 2021 Afro Dancehall Reggae music and dance event❤💛💚 很感激當日在場的每一位, 不論是我的老師們,爸媽,好朋友,學生或者只是來party一下的人。如果大家也可以玩得開心, 對這種音樂和舞蹈有另外一個新的感覺和體會, 也是我很想做的東西。 之前喺好多唔同嘅國家參與過咁多個音樂會跳舞派對, 每一個感覺都令我非常深刻, 基本上參加party就係每次去旅行一定要做嘅事,打從心底好想喺香港有一種"咁樣嘅感覺",但係難度真係非常之高, 無論係地方, 價錢,資源,仲有各式各樣嘅問題 .. 今年冇辦法出國, 然後又望住好多身邊好重要嘅人一個個離開香港 ,突然有一個好大嘅力量想今年去做呢一件事,所以選擇咗自己生日嘅月份去做,對上一次去TrueSkool嘅party, 因為認識搞手所以同佢傾計,其實係緣份,喺香港想去dancehall reggae party event,特別係再早幾年之前根本係少之有少,TrueSkool係其中一個我去開嘅"老字號",大家傾下呢一個文化,又原來大家係同一個月份生日, 就一齊搞呢一個event!!亦係我人生中第一次咁樣搞event...過程其實發生好多事一啲都唔係"非常順利"...我地兩個頭都大埋. 所以呢件事完成咗對我嚟講係好感動好似"壯舉"...過程其實都有啲朋友勸我不如細細地可以搵個鏡房,又或者搵啲地方資助,或者再搵多幾個partner搞,呢個時勢咪搞到自己咁辛苦...我確實承認自己成日都有一啲好固執嘅執著...知道有好多美中不足,但係由四個dj,搵間club做地點仲有我私心下真係好想搵嘅live band...再用時間畫埋個手繪poster ,出t-shirt.. 到見到成件事完滿結束... 我係忍不住自己流左眼淚. 其實仲未好好消化完。 因為太多人要多謝 要攰多陣lol

流記艇仔粉 🍜 點樣搵？幾多錢？好唔好味？ Probably the only Sampan in Hong Kong that sells noodles 嚟到香港仔呢個小漁村，當然要食返碗艇仔粉。無論你嗌咩餸，每碗都只係$30。我哋當然試晒三個餸啦 - 魚蛋、燒鴨、叉燒。魚蛋係三樣材料之中最好味。每碗粉上都加左香港仔出名嘅大地魚粉。 我哋嘅貼士係 - 當你到達香港仔或者鴨脷洲，首先打俾師傅 （9140 2628) ，睇吓嗰日有冇開同埋架舢舨依家係邊。我哋當日架舢舨停泊左喺鴨脷洲街渡碼頭 （近利東站A1出口)。師傅好好人，好有耐性。嗰日我打咗俾佢三次去confirm位置。😅 雖然呢碗艇仔粉唔係全香港最好味嘅粉面，但呢個絕對係一個好好嘅體驗。亦都係一個需要好好保存嘅香港文化。 味道Taste: 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑 環境 Environment: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 價錢 Value: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 更多食評，香港好去處：即刻follow @explore_hongkong Aberdeen is the home to many fishermen, this is where you can still find these “floating restaurants” for the fishing community, who spends most of their time on the water. Having a bowl of 艇仔粉rice noodle from the sampan is definitely a must-do when you visit Aberdeen/Ap Lei Chau. This bowl of rice noodle with roasted duck 燒鴨, barbecue pork and fishballs costs HKD$30. Does the number of ingredients affect the price? No! That’s why the boat people recommended us to order all 3 ingredients! This is our tip - When you arrive at Ap Lei Chau/ Aberdeen, call the boat people at 9140 2628 and check whether the restaurant has opened and where is he now. We met him at Ap Lei Chau Ferry Pier 鴨脷洲街渡碼頭, which is near to Lei Tung MTR station 利東站, exit A1. (I called the boat people for 3 times to confirm the place, he was very patient to help us to find the way 🙈☺️) It is not where you find good rice noodles, but this is definitely a fun experience and a part of Hong Kong culture and history, which should be preserved. #explorehongkong_foodie #explorehongkong_aberdeen #explorehongkong_ApLeiChau #hk #hongkong #🇭🇰 #香港 #hktravel #hktraveller #hktravelbloggers #hongkongtravel #hktrip #香港旅遊 #香港旅行 #explorehongkong #discoverhongkong #hkstyle #travelgram #香港好去處 #travelasia #foodiehk #hkfoodie #鴨脷洲 #艇仔粉 #香港仔
