[八打灵再也食记]- 创新、突破传统的料理之 Weekend Brunch @ Ampersand by Culinary Rebels, Damansara Uptown

八打灵再也 26-06-2016 艳阳天

提到 Damansara Uptown,就会联想到那里琳琅满目的食肆。老公曾经带过我来品尝每天都高朋满座的 Village Park  辣死你妈,而今天我要赴约的餐厅其实就与 Village Park Restaurant 同一排,只是隔了几间,坐落在 Restoran Khalifah 楼上(一楼)的 Ampersand by Culinary Rebels。

Ampersand 其实是符号 "&" 的长写,象征着无限可能,就像餐厅负责人兼掌厨 The Magician、The Butcher、Rayman & G-man,他们对食物烹饪的天马行空、创新、寻找突破的坚持,全都反映在一道又一道让人惊喜的盘中餐里,好比餐厅的名字 Culinary Rebels,他们就是一群年轻的烹饪叛军!

从装潢上来看,这里的一切都非常简朴实在也具个人特色,看似虽小的空间却五脏俱全,连婴儿椅也有准备。我特别喜欢这里的文字装潢,句句到位,意思浅而易懂,也充满幽默感。如果喜欢自然风的朋友可选择露台座位,看着熙熙攘攘的车辆,让自己放空一下也不错。

今天来到这里,也是托友人 Wen Li 的福气,怎么说金牛座的朋友都有缘聚在一起,而且都是吃货!我们来这里的目的主要是来享用 Weekend Brunch 和最新出品 X-rated Belly 以及甜品 Greeny Green by The Magician。

这里的 Weekend Brunch 顾名思义只有每逢周六和周日(还有公共假期)早上10点至下午3点才吃得到,而且与众不同的是,它的份量是供应给至少2人至4人的!温馨提醒,如果你只有一个人,那就要准备够大的胃,一人咽下两人份的食物咯!其实这也是餐厅特别用心之处,就是希望你能和多点人同时共享一份食物,达到独乐乐不如众乐乐的目的。我想周末嘛,大伙儿一起聚聚、聊天、享用美食,那多美好呀!

不说你不知道,这里的 Weekend Brunch 不盛在盘中,而是铺在香蕉叶上!!!餐厅先在桌上铺好香蕉叶,然后把烹饪好的食物一样一样的放到香蕉叶上。这对我而言还挺新奇的说,难道这样比较方便2 至4人同时享用食物?如果说想借香蕉叶增添香气,坦白说作用不大。

Scramble Egg, Crispy Grilled Bacon, Tomato Relish, Mixed Mushroom(Portobella, Button Mushroom & Shimeiji), Hash-brown, Double Cooked Potatoes, German Bratwursts & Lebanese Bread.
光看食物份量真的不是盖的,Banana Leaf Breakfast 的 Mixed Mushroom 和 Double Cooked Potatoes 的香气十足,每一口都是好滋味,搭 Lebanese Bread 一起吃非常有饱足感。

It's a WRAP(2pax- RM44)
Tortilla, ***Pulled BBQ Ribs, Char Siew Pork Belly, Eggs, Pickled Cucumber, Greens, Raita, Mango Sauce & Salsa.

当抹茶塔(Matcha Tart)一切开,看到抹茶熔岩流出那一刻,我的心也跟着融化了。抹茶 Fudge Cake 吃起来也非常绵密,搭上 Honey Tofu Cream 和 Vanilla Ice Cream 一起吃,冷热交叉的刹那,带给味蕾冲击的快感。
