SPD4459 [NightLife 夜蒲篇] South 85--- By Frankco


















I was excited to hear that 85 South serves North Carolina BBQ food so stopped by with J to try one early evening. The restaurant was easy to spot with the familiar logo of US highway signs. The interior was gritty and rustic with colorful graffiti covering the bare concrete walls. Several picnic-style tables occupied the main dining space which reminds me of the rest stops along the highways in the US. 




















The menu was pretty simply with combinations of either pulled pork or ribs. We ended up choosing the Sandwich Tray which consisted of the BBQ sandwich+fries+drink, and the Rib Tray with ribs+slaw+fries+drink. Drinks include homemade lemonade, tea, juices, soda, and beer. Counter service only so we had to bus our own table. 










The homemade lemonade was self-served as well in a fridge next to the counter. 


All the condiments and utensils were placed on the table already.



The 3 homemade sauces in colorful bottles that caught my eye each with its own unique flavors. The yellow bottle is a mustard based sauce with a honey based sweetness. The red bottle is tomato based with a BBQ flavor. The clear bottle is vinegar based with a peppery taste. I tried all 3 of the sauces but I preferred the tomato based sauce over the others. 



We collected our food from the counter when they were ready. The BBQ sandwich in the  Sandwich Tray ($85) was surprisingly scrumptious especially with the coleslaw slathered on top of the pulled pork. The pork was deliciously smoky while BBQ slaw definitely stole the show with its sweet yet tangy flavors. 




The Rib Tray ($130) was very disappointing though! The ribs were pitifully dry and bony with very little meat to munch on. This dish was way overpriced at $130 for the portions. Even the homemade sauces couldn't save it. 




Overall, the food was alright while the service left a lot to be desired. I mean I don't mind the counter service even though the prices are a bit high for this kind of fast food model. The staff could definitely be friendlier and more helpful especially for first timers. When we were ordering, the guy at the counter was really impatient and didn't want to answer our questions. When we asked him where to get the drinks, he just pointed before turning away aruptly. It just didn't make us feel welcomed and it's these little things that add up when one is deciding where to eat or not.

SPD4459 [Nightlife夜蒲篇] 新海旁街的BULLDOG'S - by Frankco



話說每次夜晚去跑步,終點站一定是堅尼地城的新海旁街,因為環境又清幽,又舒服!

今次我想推介下位於西環最舒適海濱的新海旁街,名叫BULLDOG'S,每次跑步我都會留意到它。



BULLDOG'S開在美新大廈(新海旁街7-8號)的轉角位置,極好的地段,原先是收購廢紙站,店面正對海濱休憩處(有堅城尖嘴之稱)


我覺得夜蒲,除了玩得開心,最緊要是環境舒服。

BULLDOG'S 面對海濱,可以一邊飲著酒,一邊看著美麗的夜景,遠眺青馬大橋, 景色妙絕, 周圍有很多人帶著愛犬散步, 悠閒極了。


而且,這笑酒吧也有不同的美食, 例如All Day Breakfast, English Breakfast, Big Dog, Fish and Chips 等。 我覺得老闆推介的 Big Dog 都不錯,牛肉和Chess十足,非常juicy! Yummy

最重要是每一份也份量不少, 薯條很香, burger是重量級有兩層牛肉及煙肉, 誇張說句,保證要捧著肚子走 LOL
All Day Breakfast
English Breakfast

Big Dog

Fish and chips
Caesar Salad

 Steak



雖然BULLDOG'S開放時間較其他酒吧短(淩晨12點就關門),但就算不食東西,只是喝喝酒和朋友夜談, 這個地方絕對是不錯!


BTW, 洋人老闆是很熱情的,下次有機會不妨試一下啦。
