il Giardino Romantico

 


這頓牛排餐其實不是要慶祝什麼。而是某天我路途遙遠地坐公車回來，在車上特地打電話請老公去公車站接我這個帶著球跑的孕婦，一起走回家。結果我下了公車原以為是自己早到了，不料慢慢地走回家，還很吃力地爬上了四樓，一開門就見老公竟然躺在床上給我睡覺！原本我也是不想這麼依賴老公的。只是那天晚了，體力差，只想要在回家路程上有人陪伴。老公見我如此生氣當然也是很不好受啦。知道自己貪睡錯過來站牌接我走回家的時機，於是隔天在我一問之下就說要請我吃牛排作為補償。於是就有了這一餐。

This meal was not to celebrate some kind of special day. But it was rather a compensation meal! One night, I came home from a long bus ride. While on the bus, I called my husband and asked that he meet me at the bus stop to walk me home. Since it was late at night, I had already used up my energy for the day, and all I was asking for was his company on the way. After I got off the bus, I thought I had arrived too early, as I did not see him. But then, as I walked all the way home, and up those four flights of stairs, the first thing I saw when I opened the door was my darling husband, DOZING OFF on the bed... Now under normal circumstances, I could tell myself to not be too clingy. But I was pregnant! And was well into late second trimester!! So, in short, I was furiuos! The next day, I asked him what he had thought of doing to make it up to me... hence, we were here for a steak feast! 



這是我們第二次來訪。第一次沒拍照當然也沒食記可寫。而且第一次來訪時我也還沒開始吃牛肉。這次來就我們夫妻倆，拍照也比較好拍。

This was not our first visit to the steakhouse. I didn't take any photos during our first visit, so obviously, there had been no article posted. This time, there were just the two of us, so nothing could stop me from taking pictures of the meal! 



菜單上寫著推薦餐點。

The menu lists the recommended meals. 



也有兩人分享餐可選擇。

There was also a page of recommendation for a feast for two.



不然也可以選擇溫馨小套餐～

Otherwise, you can also pick from these lovely sets.



等候時見桌上還有打卡優惠。不過要上傳當然是要等餐點上了才一起打卡上傳！

There was also a sticker on the table that tells you if you check-in on Facebook, you'd get a complimentary plate of braised beef tendons. Well, the check-in can wait till the meal arrived! 



餐具都放桌上，用餐巾紙蓋著也不怕生灰塵。

The utensils were on the table, covered by napkins to avoid dust and what not.



沙拉吧。平價牛排的沙拉吧也沒啥好說的，就一般般囉！

The salad bar was nothing special. Keep in mind, it was an economic steakhouse, so don't expect anything fancy! 



不過湯倒是有兩種可選擇，還算有誠意。

There were two kinds of soups to choose from, which was quite nice! 



飲料的選擇也頗多。

Also a variety of drinks to choose from. 



就連麵包也有兩款任君挑選。

There are even two types of bread to choose from. 



不過這可得自己去烤喔！

But the toasting is self-serviced.



不算難吃，但我看這麵包上塗的，也不知道那醬有沒有問題。所以只敢吃一片。（至少我還賞臉吃了一片啊）

With the scandal of the tainted oil, I could not help but wonder whether the spread on the bread had problems. So I had only a few bites. 


羅宋湯 So-called 'Russian soup'


玉米湯 Corn chowder

湯的味道以這個價位還算不錯。料也挺實在的。不至於撈半天撈不到料。

Amazingly enough, there were ample ingredients found in the soup. 



老公取的沙拉。 

Salad bowl made by my other half.



重頭戲來了！

這是我點的小公牛莎朗。配上我愛的捲捲麵～

Then came the main course! 

My sirloin with fusilli. 



以及老公點的雞牛雙拼搭配義大利麵～

And steak + chicken and speghetti. 



以平價牛排來說，烤成這樣算是不錯的了！而且沒有許多人害怕的血水。鮮嫩好滋味！

For the cost of the steak, I thought they did a fine job with the steak. If you like it medium or medium-rare, I think that would give you the best taste. 





而且排餐上桌時並不會淋上醬汁。所以想吃原味的就撒點胡椒粉跟玫瑰鹽。

天仙拿了這些醬，是要拿來拌麵用的～

Unlike most night-market style steaks, they don't come drenched in heavy tasting sauce. So you might as well enjoy the steak with a sprinkle of pepper and rose salt. 

As for these sauces, they were for the pasta! 

最後還有冰淇淋可以吃！

And to finish off the meal, there was also ice cream! 



不過這頓餐點還沒結束喔！

But there was something else we were almost forgetting!



別忘了還有打卡就送的滷牛筋～

The complimentary dish of braised beef tendons!

天仙念：其實也不算是什麼滔天大罪。偶爾吃吃好料也可以增進夫妻感情。重點不是會不會吵架或生氣（有哪對夫妻不吵架的？）而是看自己怎麼善後。不過話說，這次過了，若還敢有下次，我可能真的會要求茹絲葵囉！！
