今次介紹甜品, 卻聯想起一個笑話:
一次於Classified吃午餐時, 有一位”Juicy Style”的輕熟女走入餐廳, 嚷着要點甜品, 與友人7咀8舌後, 大大聲聲的跟待應小姐說:
“唔該要一個心太軟”
待應小姐:”係…” 五秒後, 問同事:
“心太軟… 咩來架”, 再追問輕熟女:
“小姐, 唔好意思, 請問咩係心太軟?”
“?!” 這間”鬼”多”人”少, 連中文餐牌也欠奉的餐廳, 幾時開始賣港式甜品?!
“心太軟”是任賢齊的一首名曲, 後來一間位於東區的餐廳將軟心朱古力蛋糕名為”心太軟”, 從此軟心朱古力蛋糕於香港便被”屈”, 叫作”心太軟”.
香港人一窩蜂的風氣很盛, 如早年的綠茶蛋糕及Tiramisu, 然後有cheese cake, puff 及 cup cake. 身為愛甜品又是香港人的我, 當然忠誠追隨.
不過, 今次要推介的甜品, 恐怕其他餐廳未能夠容易抄襲或將之發揚光大, 因它的心思, 做法, 用料都不簡單, 如此五星級的甜品, 只能於五星級酒店找到它, 價錢, 當然也是五星級.
這是Mandarin Grill 的signature甜品 – Fruit. 上圖所見的, 真的假不了, 假的真不了… 部分是新鮮生果, 同時亦有脫水但仍保留美麗顏色的乾果; 亦有部分(如啤梨及桔)其實是雪芭.
造型擺位, 顏色味道均一流, 果然是我最喜愛的Mandarin Grill!
大狀朋友轉工升職兼加人工, 如此值得高興(及貴), 當然由她請客, 才有幸品嚐五星級的滋未, 祝你前(及錢)途似錦, 一帆風順! 下次再請我吃大餐!
…亦等如要開始儲錢還飯債, 下次我請…
