早前很高興得到Green Monday 的邀請，能品嘗到Macau Fisherman’s Wharf 澳門漁人碼頭 勵宮legend Palace 勵皇軒The Grand Palace Chef Johnny新推出的「廚師發板」素食餐單。
I had the pleasure of trying Chef Johnny's new vegan omakase menu at The Grand Palace, invited by Green Monday.
茹素前就已經被餐廳的無敵大海景吸引著！今次的素食餐單有別於大眾對「食齋」的刻板印象，用了富含蛋白質和鐵質等營養成份，長期食用也不會對身體帶來負擔的新一代植物肉 ，例如 Beyond Meat等去創作菜式。賣相擺盤也相當吸引，真的是「一啲都唔齋」！
Before the meal, I was first struck by the breathtaking view of the ocean. The chef uses products such as Beyond Meat, which are rich in proteins and minerals. Special attention is also paid to presentation of the food, which includes elements of cuisines from all over China. As such, the menu is able to circumvent the nutritional concerns and image of monotony often associated with Buddhist vegan cooking.
第一道｜麻婆豆腐(Beyond Meat)
肉餅帶嚼勁和與豆腐的嫩滑質感有對比，口感不無聊，挺相配，汁醬味道不會太辣嗆喉。
The textural contrast between the tofu and Beyond Meat is complementary. The sauce is not overly spicy.
第二道｜香煎蓮藕餅(Omnipork)
用新豬肉做的肉餅，質感跟真肉餅極像！配上爽脆的香煎蓮藕和蘑菇汁，味道什為出彩。
The patty made with Omnipork captures the exact texture of real pork patty. It goes perfectly with the seared lotus root and the flavourful mushroom sauce.
第三道｜川味水煮牛 (Gardein beefless strip)
這道「素食version」的水煮牛肉，創意和味道十足。走過油的素牛肉，口感不錯，真的有一秒錯以為是真牛肉！配以寬粉與豆皮和麻辣湯底拌着吃，川味濃厚！但建議紅油用量可調低幾分，始終構思這道菜的初心是以健康飲食為主。
This vegan version of Sichuan poached beef is another delicious creation. The oil blanched vegan beef again mimics the texture of real beef perfectly. Served with mung bean noodles in a piquant mala cuisson, this dish is truly Sichuan. If anything, the chili oil could be dialed down in the spirit of healthy eating, one main reason for a vegan diet.
第四道｜普寧豆豉雞(Heura chicken)
普寧豆豉醬十分惹味，爆炒起來鑊氣十足，但小編認為Heura chicken 的口感不及前幾道的素肉選項出彩。
The puning bean paste is the star of the dish, which shines with great wokhei. But unlike products used in previous dishes, the texture of Huera chicken doesn't quite approximate real chicken.
第五道｜海南雞風味中東米, 香煎豬肉餅, 伴蕃茄豆乳汁 (Omnipork)
中東米略帶薑黃味，配上豆乳蕃茄汁，味道開胃怡人，充滿東南亞色彩，香煎豬肉餅口感軟嫩，類似豬柳。
The pilaf has a hint of turmeric. Served with a sauce made with tomato and fermented tofu, the dish beckons Southeast Asia. The seared patty is tender and tastes like pork tenderloin.
第六道｜竹炭漢堡 (Beyond Meat)
竹炭饅頭香淋軟熟，帶淡甜和麵粉香，以Beyond Meat 炮製的漢堡扒有著不少真漢堡扒的神韻，再配上日式燒汁，令人食指大動
The soft charcoal bun has a subtle sweetness and aroma of wheat. The Beyond Meat patty captures the essence of a beef patty. And with the addition of teriyaki sauce, this burger is finger-licking good.
整個菜單$600/位起，需提前預訂，廚師可依照客人喜好為你打造獨一無二的菜單。
