Hi my dear Steemit friends🌹
親愛的Steemit朋友們:
How's everything? 😆 The weekend is approaching, and have you made any plans? In today's My Stories, I'm gonna bring you to an Italian restaurant, TOSCA, at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong.
最近大家怎麼樣？😆週末快來到了，不知道大家有什麼計畫呢？在今天的“生活小確幸”，我會帶大家來到位於香港麗思卡爾頓酒店的意大利餐廳——TOSCA:)
The environment 環境🎈
This Michelin-Starred restaurant offers innovative Italian cuisine with Victoria Harbour views as a backdrop🎆. If there're 4 of you or less , then I suggest you booking a table next to the window in advance :) Having dinner while enjoying the stunning night view of Hong Kong is a perfect way to spend your weekend, isn't it? There are high ceilings, stately fountains and majestic chandeliers, lending a Romanesque feeling to this stylish dining destination.
這間米芝蓮級別的餐廳以維多利亞港為背景，為客人們帶來極富新意的意大利食物🎆.。如果大家有4位或以下，那麼我會推薦你提前訂一張近落地窗的桌子:) 在品嚐美味食物的同時能夠欣賞美麗的維港景色，簡直是一大享受:) 大家說是不是呢？餐廳的天花十分高，大大增強了空間感；堂皇的噴泉以及壯觀的水晶燈賦予了餐廳羅馬獨有的浪漫氣息，讓我陶醉不已。
Stately Fountains噴泉
Majestic Chandeliers水晶燈
Artistic Bar酒吧
I like these corridors a lot! They look like Time Tunnel, don't they?
我十分喜歡這裏的走廊。他們看上去難道不像時光隧道嗎？
The open kitchen allows us an even more theatrical dining experience.
開放式廚房為整個餐廳增添了不少藝術感。
What is more, there are private dining rooms for special celebrations, entertaining corporate clients or any other intimate occasion. Guests can choose from 2 semi-private rooms, as well as a private room for smaller parties. But please do remember to book the rooms in advance :)
值得一提的是，這裏還為藝人、娛樂界人士或其他私人聚會提供私人包廂。客人可以從2間半私人包廂、或1間較小的包廂中選擇。如果大家打算享用這個服務的話，就要記得提前預約了:)
The Food 食物🍰
The food is nice and innovative. And I didn't expect the chiabatta to be THIS delicious!!! 🍞Little Tip: remember to ask for Balsamic vinegar for the chiabatta. :)
這裏的食物十分美味及創新。我必須要說，這個chiabatta(餐前麵包)比想像中好吃！！ 小提示：記得向他們索要黑醋來沾麵包吃哦:)
The appetizer was Pumpkin Soup with Cheese. It tasted special.
今天的開胃菜是芝士南瓜湯。很特別的味道！
Here comes the main dishes. This is Seared scallop with winter root salad.

It was my friend's birthday, so they gave her a birthday cake as gift 🎂. But we were surprised that they gave EACH ONE OF US a dessert set FOR FREE!!! How nice they were!!!❤️
今天是朋友的生日，所以餐廳為她送上了精緻的生日蛋糕作為禮物 🎂。不過，出乎意料的是，餐廳還免費為每個人送上一份甜品，真的好貼心呀！！❤️
Useful Facts: Chef Pino Lavarra's gastronomic talents has earned him prestigious recognitions including “One of the Best Chefs in the World” by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, and Michelin two stars award for Rossellinis, the restaurant that he led since 2001, a one-star rating for three consecutive years since 2013 at Tosca in Hong Kong.
小知識：這裏的主廚——Pino Lavarra先生極富天賦，曾獲American Academy of Hospitality Sciences頒發“One of the Best Chefs in the World”的頭銜，他自2001年便負責的Rossellinis餐廳也獲頒米芝蓮2星。不僅如此，在他的帶領下，Tosca(也就是這間餐廳)自2013年連續獲得1星好評。
The Menu 餐牌📔
These are their menus. The food's very expensive, but definitely worth trying if you plan to spend a lovely night with your family or friends in a restaurant next to one of the most beautiful harbours of the world :)
這就是他們的餐牌了。這裏的食物真的非常貴TT 不過，如果大家計畫著與家人或朋友在世界最美的港灣旁度過一個難忘的夜晚，那麼這裏還是十分值得的:)
To wrap up the experience, I really like TOSCA🍹 . Dinning in a restaurant located at 102/F at night was really an unforgettable experience, and personally the food become less important when I'm in such an environment :) So, if you're a fan of Italian cuisine, then this restaurant should definitely be on your to-go list🍴!!! See you next time!!!
總得來說，我很喜歡TOSCA🍹。在102層高樓享用美食，實在是一個難忘的經歷。個人來說，當我在如此美好的環境中用餐之時，食物反而顯得沒那麼重要了:) 所以，如果你也喜歡意大利美食，那麼一定要把這個餐廳放在你的「美食名單」中哦🍴！！我們下次見！！！

Thanks for sharing @susanlo! Really amazing! How does the cod taste?
Thanks leftbank:) haha the cod tasted nice! It's fresh, and the restaurant chose not to make it taste strong by highlighting its natural flavour:)
great post and great pictures! Upvoted.
Thank you genics!!!!
That is very nice Italian Restaurant for sure... but if I am in Hong Kong, I prefer the Hong Kong style foods. chow-main or any spicy noodle. Anyway, great written article and well photographed! Followed happily to see more about Hong Kong. Loves and Hugs from Spain.
Thanks a lotttt funworlding:))) Hahaha you're SOOOOOO right to say that "Hong Kong style food is more preferred" LOLL! To be frank I think Chinese food tastes the best! And also, I think this restaurant's main attraction is its environment :) (Nice food though) Thanks for supporting me and I'll keep up to bring more interesting contents to Steemit!! Followed you too, Cheers!
I was saying Chinese food, but I didn't want to hurt you, just in case... :)
nonono actually Hong Kong food=Chinese food!!! I know what you mean!!! No worries my friend XDDDD
It is very similar, isn't it. Is there any big differences? By the way, I have put your blog into my favorites! I don't wanna miss your post!
Right, they're similar:) Hong Kong-styled food is one type of Chinese food. Others include Sichuan, Beijing style, etc. Haha thanks a lot:)) I'm glad to have your support!!!!
小小年紀就學會奢侈，實不足取，就算是幫男朋友慶生也不宜啊！哼！（下次本美到港的話 則可考慮）
才不是呢！哼哼，就是朋友啦！下次劉美女到香港我就帶你去大排檔吧，我看大排檔最適合
我們倆劉美女這樣的氣質～反對無效哦😌那就廟街興記煲仔飯吧，多年前去，我感覺那裡的食客都氣質高雅出眾，雖然差了我一截，但我感覺像是回到家。只是你的氣質不太搭得上我們，但既然你出錢，那就勉強吧！ @aaronli，你比較像在那裡吃飯的，一起來吧！（記得帶兩把摺凳來）
真的嗎？廟街興記是我們這裏最高檔的餐廳，看不出劉美女還挺有品味的呢😌 對呀興記簡直就是你的第二個家了嘛，他們的老闆賣魚勝和老闆娘豬頭丙上次還跟我提起你呢！！不過據我所知AA的家族生意就是開大排檔，我已經威逼利誘他請我們吃了，對不對 @aaronli? 😎
我也要跟去!!! XDD
hehehe好的一起去！！！>V<
Looks absolutely amazing. The views alone are worth the cost. However, the food looks absolutely amazing to.
Thanks a lot ryanwilliams:) haha right the views are stunning:) You're right the food's delicious, but to be honest I enjoyed the views more than the food (shuuuuu) LOLLLL!!!
I understand why.
And so here I see you again! Haha you really sold this restaurant for anyone who reads this! I'm honestly not a big fan of gourmet food style, so I agree with you on this: Definitely the environment is what's most attractive! It must be magical to go there haha.
Thanks for sharing this, Susanlo!
PD: Is it Susan or Susanlo your actual name? Hahaha.
Thanks a lottt havs!! Happy to see you again! Haha me too, and I enjoy home dishes (Chinese food especially) too!! In my opinion the dreamy environment is definitely the reason why you should try the restaurant!!
Haha just all me Susan:) and your name's Havs, right? cheers!
比钱买风景食野。 :-)
啱呀，真系好貴TT 朋友生日先去，如果吾系食到銀包減肥XD
呵呵。然後自己要减肥。😎
對呀呀呀呀！so sadddd TVT
好有情调的意大利餐馆！
對呀，謝謝rea:)))晚上去真的很夢幻呢！
Very nice interior! Dishes are appetite) But for me, a bit unusual to see such little food on such large plates)
Thanks naditinkoff!! Haha I (as a Chinese) agree with you that it's kinda strange to put such a little food in such a large plate LOL!! But I think many European countries (e.g. France, Italy) do this to make it look more exquisite. And they succeeded XD But for Chinese food we never do this. (We usually put as much as we can in a plate LOLLL)
好雅致的酒店!!
謝謝Mark!! haha對呀，這裏的環境真的很美！
Really beautiful restaurant with delicious food it seems! Really nice you both got a free dessert! Great service! 😊
Thanks a lot Iris!!! Haha the food's nice, and the view's even better! Ohh you're soo sweet :) and yup, it's so warm to have the dessert!
每一道菜要500块？好贵
對呀，這個價錢對我來說真的非常非常非常貴TT 因為朋友生日所以特意找了這個地方慶祝XD我覺得他們主要貴在環境🥂
餐廳環境真的好棒啊！到處都亮晶晶的。
謝謝貓女！對呀，晚上真的很有氛圍，有種不喝酒也會醉的感覺XD
細細碟咁，超精緻呢！羨慕！
嗯嗯，d食物真系好精緻(份量都好細XD)，如果有特殊場合可以去試試呢！:)
