位於(Mandarin Oriental)「櫻桃園」中餐館、是新加坡最早的中餐廳之一,素以廣東菜色聞名星馬地區。1987年落成開幕至今(2013)已經有26年的歷史,古色古香的餐廳裝潢,卻沒有隨著歲月流失它的風華,反而淬鍊出精湛又經典的菜色,就讓我們來認識新加坡這間富有歷史的中國風餐廳。(內含影音介紹)
新加坡是亞州美食最具有代表性城市之一,不管是中餐、西餐,或是多國料理都可以在這找得到,近年來新加坡為了推廣美食、下足了功夫,除了舉辦亞洲五十間餐廳的評選外,未來更計畫要舉行亞洲美食高峰會,為什麼新加坡擁有這種優勢呢?可以從「櫻桃園」CHERRY GARDEN開始說起。
走進「櫻桃園」,讓人彷彿來到了中國唐朝,整個仿造中國豪華酒樓客棧設計,裡頭甚至還夾雜了五行八卦等風水相關的設計。跟一般中餐廳不同的是,櫻桃園低調優雅、非常適合風雅人士,除此之外,還獲選為The Miele Guide 2011/2012亞洲美食評鑑指南最佳餐廳之一。
「櫻桃園」的魅力不僅於此,從服務人員多國語言的優勢,就可以知道不管您說什麼語言都難不倒他們。將您帶領到雅座上,俐落地沏上一壺中國茶來暖暖胃,讓人倍覺溫馨。許多新加坡的政商宴客都不約而同選擇了這間既雅致、用餐價格又平易近人的餐廳。
好的餐廳需要有一位靈魂人物,「櫻桃園」新上任的主廚鄭漢洲即是要角,他與新加坡另一位新加坡名廚曾鏡雄是師兄弟關係,鄭師傅來自香港,1980年代來到新加坡定居,曾任許多大型五星級飯店總主廚,鄭師傅說,「新加坡是一個多元化的國家,中餐不只是要受到當地華人喜愛、更要讓西方和東南亞人能夠接受,其實這才是最難的,因為東南亞屬於較炎熱的地方、所以菜色不能太油膩,會容易燥熱,所以我會將整體調整得更清淡且符合養生的菜色。」
「櫻桃園」主廚鄭漢洲推薦菜色
蜜椒燒鱈魚(每人SGD$18 )Oven-baked honey marinated cod fillet with black pepper
一般鱈魚都是清蒸居多,而鄭師傅的做法是先塗上一層燒制蜜椒醬,外層呈紅色,猶如叉燒般,再撒上胡椒。入口帶有叉燒甜味,鱈魚從口中慢慢化開,這也是廣東菜首次利用蜜椒醬用來製作在魚類料理上。
櫻桃燒味拼盤(片皮鴨、脆皮燒腩肉、黑豬肉叉燒) SGD $22 Cherry Garden charcoal-roasted BBQ meat platter
片皮鴨皮脆肉嫩、呈現金黃色味道。芳香鴨皮脆彈、肉汁鮮美,脆皮燒腩肉烤得剛好不焦,肥而不膩!主廚特別選用黑毛豬肉來製作叉燒肉,和一般市面上的不同,肉質甘甜不柴。
榨菜火鴨絲拉麵SGD$10 La mien soup with shredded duck and Sichuan vegetables
主廚鄭師副最具代表性菜色之一。這道菜是鄭師傅二十幾年來的做菜經驗、所研發一項菜色。利用鴨骨熬製約八小時高湯、再倒入麵線中,讓麵條飽吸鴨湯的精華,上方再加上片鴨肉湯頭,味道濃郁、麵線Q彈,是一道中式版拉麵,讓人忍不住一口接著一口,享受湯汁與麵條美味的結合。
To experience Cherry Garden is to experience one of the most sophisticated and innovative Chinese restaurants in Singapore. A sense of expectation is aroused even before stepping into the restaurant, with guests arriving via a striking antique entranceway, graced by a symbolic golden lion head carving.
The interior evokes the essence of Chinois chic. The immediate impression may be of entering a private Oriental residence, yet diners soon notice the distinctly contemporary tempo. The five elements are used throughout to harmonious effect, providing a diversity of textures and auspicious Feng Shui elements. Walls are painted white and adorned with a combination of sheer ivory voile and charcoaled teak panels, while wooden tables are paired with comfortable, upholstered chairs. The effect is softened by stylish, pearly-shelled lighting fixtures, which cast warm pools of light and create an intimate evening ambience. Two private dining rooms are available, and are decorated in a residential style, with tasteful chandeliers and period Chinese sideboards.
Cherry Garden offers an extensive modern menu featuring artistically presented Cantonese cuisine. Only the finest, freshest ingredients are used, and the menu is changed every few months to incorporate seasonal produce. Not to be missed are Cherry Garden’s signature dishes such as Double-boiled chicken consomme with agaricus mushrooms, fish maw, water chestnuts and nourishing herbal roots; Oven-baked fillet of sea perch marinated in rose dew wine; and Fragrant black sesame fried rice.
A further highlight of Cherry Garden is the wide selection of Chinese teas and the extensive wine list, which offers a balanced selection of old and new world wines, specially selected to match with Asian cuisine. There are also a wide range of Chinese wines, freshly squeezed juices, and iced teas.
