Explore Hong Kong with me #11: Penthouse by Harlan Goldstein in Causeway Bay😋 【高質美景米芝連餐廳推薦 Penthouse by Harlan Goldstein】

Hi Steemit friends,

Hope you are doing well today. As you may remember, we explored Mid-Autumun Lantern Carnival at Victoria Park in my last Explore Hong Kong with me series. I hope you like it! This weekend, to celebrate my friend birthday, we decided to dine in a Michelin recommended restaurant, Penthouse by Harlan Goldstein. If you are a foodie like me, you may be familiar with the name "Harlan Goldstein". He is a popular Chef who earned his first Michelin stars in Hong Kong with Gold in 2012. And today, I would like to explore one of his restaurants, Penthouse.

Steemit的朋友大家好，上次跟大家分享中秋維園的花燈展，希望大家喜歡。今天想跟大家分享一家位於銅鑼灣的米芝連餐廳，Penthouse by Harlan Goldstein。相信喜歡西式美食的朋友對城中名廚Harlan Goldstein的名字並不陌生，他在香港開了4間不同的餐廳，Penthouse是其中一間。到訪前我怎麼也想不到銅鑼灣有這麼高質量的餐廳，不但有優雅的裝飾佈置、精緻的擺盤、高質的食物、更有無敵夜景。

Let's begin our journey~ 開始我們的旅程～

It takes 5 minutes walk from Causeway Bay Station Exit F2.

從銅鑼灣F2步行約5分鐘。

Situated on the top floor, Penthouse offers an impressive view of the harbour. My friend and I were delighted sitting right next to the windows and enjoying views of Victoria Harbor displayed through floor-to-ceiling windows. The decor of Penthouse is stylish yet comfortable and has an ersatz industrial feel. I especially love the lightening decor at the entrance in between the bar which add some character and uniqueness to the restaurant.

進店後首先經過兩旁的酒吧，餐廳內裝潢設計時尚摩登，大部分位置旁都有落地玻璃，可看到窗外景色，空間感十足，而餐廳二樓也有露天坐位，不過露天坐位應該比較適合跟朋友飲點小酒，聊聊天。

Let's see what we order today~ 我們來看看今天點了什麼

Most of the dishes were great for sharing and since we had 12 people, we just ordered different starters and mains to share. First up we were treated to a selection of appetizers.

因為每一種菜式都想試一點，我們決定每人點一些前菜，主菜和甜品，一齊分享。首先，先介紹一止前菜給大家。

Freshly baked bread with pesto sauce-The crust was crispy with a soft and open texture on the inside and the pesto sauce was so good and refreshing.

點餐後，首先送上的是麵包配香草醬，自家製的麵包外皮酥脆裏面鬆軟，配上美味的香草醬，很快被我們吃光

House White and Red Wine

跟餐的白、紅酒

Fried Calamari with Tartar Sauce-golden-brown freshly fried calamari taste pretty good with the tartar sauce (3.5/5)

炸魷魚配他他醬，味道不差但沒有什麼特別(3.5/5)

Bluefin Tuna Tartare-topped with a slow-cooked egg and creamy sauce, the tuna tartare was delightfully flavorful especially after mixing in the yolk. Nom nom nom (4.5/5)

呑拿魚他他是必點的菜式，賣相很吸睛，吃的時把蛋黃切開，再混入呑拿魚中，是一道很好吃的前菜。 (4.5/5)

Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio topped with chopped avocado, tomatoes, citrus and Granny Smith Dressing. The sweet and tangy citrus, against the freshness of the scallop, made it taste very refreshing. (4/5)

北海道帶子配切碎的牛油果，蕃茄和史密斯醬, 很清新(4/5)

24 months Aged Parma Ham-Everything tasted yummy as expected. (4/5)

肉質嫩滑，配上清甜的蜜瓜同吃，讓人很滿足，孤陋寡聞的我竟不知帕爾馬火腿跟蜜瓜竟是如此匹配。(4/5)

** Deviled Crab Cake** -a signature appetizer of this restaurant. I was surprised to see a big chunks of crab meat inside when cutting into the crab cake. The mango Salsa adding a pleasant sweetness to compliment it.(4.5/5)

蟹餅是 Harlan Goldstein的招牌菜，切開蟹餅可看到一塊塊的蟹肉，蟹肉鮮甜，配上旁邊的酸甜的芒果汁，很不错(4.5/5)

Mezze Rigatoni Pasta -This dish is made with fresh pork sausage, romanesco, broccoli puree and Pecorino cheese. (4/5)

這道意粉用了用新鮮的豬肉香腸，寶塔花菜，西蘭花醬和Pecorino奶酪 (4/5)

Lobster Risotto- I really love the texture of the Veneto Rice, and the richness and creamy lobster sauce.(4/5)

龍蝦繪飯，喜歡每一口飯都帶有濃郁的龍蝦鮮味(4/5)

Stone-Pot Black Ink Paella- Love the presentation of this dish , serve in a stone-pot instead of a plate, which keep the paella very hot. There were a lot of scallops and squid though which were both delicious to eat.(4/5)

石鍋墨魚汁繪飯，有別於龍蝦繪飯，這道墨魚汁繪以石鍋原鍋上桌，飯裡伴入帶子和魷魚等海鮮，吃起來很豐富(4/5)

Penthouse Mini Dessert Platter- every desserts are in bite size in this platter which is very thoughtful as we are quite full after having the starters and main :P We are all satisfying to have this dessert platters to end our dinner. (3.5/5)

甜品拼盤，有四款不同的甜品組成，每一款都分量比較小，適合想淺嚐多種甜品的朋友，四款當中個人最喜歡綠茶慕絲杯(3.5/5)

And of course, a group photo with the birthday girls ~

最後跟朋友的大合照。

Overall, I enjoy my dinner at Penthouse. I won't forget the Coal Grilled Aged U.S. Prime Rib-Eye Steak for a long time and I would definitely recommend the Bluefin Tuna Tartar. That being said, having a glorious meal here will definitely come at a cost, we spent HKD$600 (~77USD) per person. I would say it is definitely a place for special occasions or just somewhere to treat yourself. And I would strongly recommend to do lunch instead of dinner as their lunch menu is much cheaper (~USD35 /person ) and the plates are quite similar.

總括而言，Penthouse的環境跟食物水準很高，特別是牛扒和呑拿魚他他，不過Penthouse的價錢也不平宜，這次晚餐我們每人花了$600，所以比較推薦給想找一家高大上餐廳的慶祝節日的朋友。不過想平宜一點，大家也可以考慮下午來吃午餐，它們的午餐是半自助形式而且是晚餐價錢一半左右，重點是餐牌也跟晚餐沒差多少喔。
