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。
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！
是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! ~
