台北的小籠包

August 30th, 2013 居然四天吃了四次小籠包. 客戶請吃鼎泰豐,這當然是經典之作. 還請人加了一整碗的薑絲. 小心夾起,一口咬破,湯汁溢出,滿口香氣. 餡,皮,醋,薑,混在一起. 太棒了. 鼎泰豐台北有好幾家,世界各角落也都有. 品質一致. 實數難得. 第二天晚上沒事,信步走到中正紀念堂後,看到杭州小籠包. 這家兒時騎著車來,坐在矮凳子上,來上兩籠,吃完走路,不當回事. 現在好像是個觀光景點了. 也好,等了個桌子(30分鐘),點上一籠,加幾個小菜,蒸臭豆腐是必然的. 吃的不亦樂乎. 口味好極了,但是懷舊的喜悅更高些. 下個晚上在喜來登的請客樓請客,又是江浙菜,看到小籠包,心頭一動,來PK吧. 小龍包的口味不錯,但醋太酸,整個平衡就不對了. 吃完略帶失望. 最後一天,誤了中飯,剛好不遠,就殺去了點水樓南京東路的旗艦店. 既已PK,當然點小籠包. 一包入口,長嘆一聲. 台北人實在太幸福了,區然能有如此美味. 這店還不用排隊,走進來點了就吃. 小籠包難吃的到處都是,這四家平心而論都好吃:包小,皮薄,餡香,汁多. 如果我想吃小籠包,這四家都是上上選. 今天我以老饕心評比: 杭州小籠口味好,性價比第一. 點水樓和鼎泰豐不相上下. 請客樓就點別的菜吧. 後記: 中秋前,鼎泰豐做芝麻酥餅.別忘了點.
