New Formosa @ PJ SS2

Right after our dinner, Christine and I came up with an idea on reviewing this restaurant. This time, I will try writing in Chinese while Christine will post it in English. (Yep, she has had her post published).

当天晚上,吃完了这顿饭后,这一次我和Christine 约好了,来一个‘华英配’。什么意思呢?!就是我将写一个华语版的,而Christine 就写个英语版的试吃活动。当然,这并不是完全翻译她的文章,我们的文章多多少少会有点儿类同,但是在语言那方面就不一样了。








今次很荣幸的被邀请到新宝岛餐厅,New Formosa Restaurant 一家道地台湾料理餐厅。谢谢Sid 的 invitation。很开心的,又能和一众食家(food bloggers)共享晚餐。当然也要谢谢的是新宝岛餐厅 的老板娘,Ms Jeanie。







这家餐厅的来头可真不小呀! 于1980年,由Ms Jeanie 和她的丈夫合手开创这家餐厅,一就业就来到了第28年。Ms Jeanie的丈夫当主厨负责厨房,而Ms Jeanie就负责门面,有时候她也会伸出援手在厨房帮帮忙。







第一道出场的佳肴是 Shimmered Winter Melon 炖冬瓜盅(应该这样翻译吧。)写这一篇相当令我苦恼因为菜名佳肴名全都是英文, 如有译错名字,请多多包涵。这盅炖冬瓜,里头包涵了不少的干贝,香菇,鸡丁,鱼漂,还有大娃娃菜。非一般的真材实料哦!炖熬上4至5个小时,它的味道相当清甜。





由于这道炖冬瓜盅需要炖上4至5个小时,所以来之前,请拨电来预定。这份大盅的(Rm 90)可以让10 至11人享用而Rm45份的可让5至6人享用。






第二道是Taiwanese Haaka Pineaple Intestine(Rm 14.50)。味道适中,真适合拿来配粥。再加上绿色红色的灯笼椒,卖相非常漂亮!









Sesame Prawn 香酥芝麻虾(Rm 26)是利用新鲜的虾子,沾上了适量的白芝麻,香脆可口,光看摆设及样子,真叫人垂涎三尺。








香香脆脆的,再配上特制的酸梅酱,酸酸甜甜的,十分美味。








下来是Taiwanese Braised Belly Meat & Dried Beancurd (Rm 16)。这道菜肴主要的有三层五花肉,配上豆腐干或南瓜或甜番薯, 利用五香粉,辣椒酱,豆瓣酱和少许的酒下去烹调,香喷喷的,很下饭!






这是Special Silky Bean Curd with Shredded Black Wood Ears and Shredded Pork With Salted Fish (Rm 12)。滑嫩嫩的白豆腐搭上黑木耳,猪肉丝和咸鱼丝及大量的葱,是配粥或饭的一级棒选择。这道豆腐也很烹得健康。别忘了黑木耳,可以养颜也含有丰富的养分,对身心非常健康。








Taiwanese Traditional Steamed Crab Rice (Rm 34 / Rm 68) 台湾传统蒸蟹饭。它是由三种不同的糙米(有白的,红的及黑的糙米),加上香菇,腊肠,虾米,绿葱以及猪肉碎,再加上一只新鲜肥美的大螃蟹,然后拿去蒸。哇,香喷喷又健康的米饭,
每一颗粒米饭都渗入了肥美的大螃蟹的精华。真叫人回味无穷!我把它们全给吃光光。











老板娘突然在我背后端着一盘 Sizzling Salmon 然后摆上桌。看,这些鲑鱼还是生的。






之后,她把台湾咸菜给加上,即可就发出“咝咝咝”的声音。就这样形成了Sizzling Salmon with Taiwanese Salted Cabbage。鲑鱼是我的最爱。当台湾咸菜给加上后就要立刻享用,以免鲑鱼给煮得太熟或过‘老’。富含了Omega-3的鲑鱼,看了也令你留口水吧?!
Rm 6 per 50 grams.







Crispy Chestnuts Duck with Three Colour Pickles 里有栗子和腌制得够够味的烤鸭。半只是Rm 28。






来到这里可别忘了试试台湾特制红棉线 Taiwanese Special Red Mee Sua Broth (Rm 9)。一般的台湾面线是跟蚵仔(閩南話稱ô-á),但是马来西亚的蚵仔煮出来会并没那么棒,所以他们改用材鱼(Bonito)去熬煮面线的汤头。终于可以尝到台湾面线了!绵绵密密的面线搭配着猪肉丝,虾仁,胡萝卜,香菇及娃娃菜,每一口还带有浓浓的材鱼香味。





吃了真想来多一碗。但是之前吃了太多,肚子也差点给撑爆了。






我最爱的甜点了! 来到menu的尾端可是Black Sesame Sweet Broth with Glutinous Rice Balls 黑芝麻汤圆(Rm 3.80/碗)。






自制的黑芝麻甜汤甜度刚好,不甜不腻,加上一颗颗有着清香pandan叶的汤圆,hmmm…. 超美味!







吃完了之后,老板娘做下来跟我们聊天。刹那时刻,她竟然说到,要不要尝尝‘初恋’(First Love)的滋味?!就叫人端来了酸梅水。甜酸甜酸的酸梅水不但能帮助消化,而且还能止渴!甜酸甜酸的还能让你回忆着初恋的滋味。


别以为之前的黑芝麻甜汤圆是这餐的句号,好客又大方的Ms Jeanie又叫人端来不少的甜点。





Handmade Glutinous Rice Pieces 手工精制客家麻芝。这家餐厅还制有咖啡,芒果,绿茶,等等不同口味。而这是原味的。粒粒暖暖的麻芝,沾上了花生及糖碎,不甜不腻,吃起来每一口都是花生香味!


它们(下图)是五味布丁--- 龟苓膏,绿茶芦荟口味,芒果口味,乳味鸡蛋布丁,还有著名的银杏芋泥Yam Ginkgo Pudding。























我最爱的是银杏芋泥了。吃前须加热,吃起来每一口都是热乎乎又绵绵密密的。






还有还有,Formosa Special Sweet Yam 宝岛特色芋头。每一块蒸熟的芋头,沾上大量的麦芽糖, 再泡入冷水里,麦芽糖遇冷即硬。口感呢:一要下去,外冷内热,外硬内软。蒸熟后得芋头搭上麦芽糖很好吃,有着另一番的风味。








看看!漂亮的 Cupcakes!终于有机会尝到了Big Boys Oven 为我们手工精制Cupcakes。之前在别家café所尝到的Cupcakes真是令我大大摇头。但是,Big Boys Oven的Cupcakes真的很棒很好吃,不甜不腻, 而且cake base 很moist。






Sunny还做了gingerbread给我们当纪念品。漂亮吧,真想一口咬下去,但是这些gingerbread都喷上了preservative,不能吃!



最后,要谢谢大方好客又漂亮的Ms. Jeanie让我们享有这一顿丰富的晚餐。
Thank you very much! ~
