香草變奏驚喜主題菜餚
香草能令菜式更添層次和深度，提升菜式的色、香、味，尤其是每逢節慶和聚會，香草總是發揮著重要的功效，讓人留下深刻印象。今年 Kudos 的節慶自助餐，便把各式各樣的香草發揮得淋漓盡致，以薄荷、迷迭香、刁草，以至百里香、香茅及茴香等，融入前菜、沙律、熱盤及七款自選主菜之中，叫人驚喜不絕。
前菜無論是生帶子薄切配薄荷青檸汁、迷迭香橄欖油香蒜燒奶油瓜、日式燒蠔冷麵伴香葱，或沙律烤海鮮茴香刁草鮮橙沙律，均各顯風格；以香草入饌熱葷，更設計出多國風味，例如中式的紅燒乳鴿，以五香粉的調味鹽醃製，格外惹味；香茅製成醬汁的黃金炸蝦餅，香脆可口；還有燒火雞伴百里香汁、香草牛油焗田螺薯蓉等菜式，充滿新鮮感，令人百吃不厭。
特色香草提升主菜鮮明個性
香草突顯食材優點的特性更完美地發揮在自選主菜之中，客人可從七款主菜中自選一款。先有烤原隻游水波士頓龍蝦香茅汁或芝士汁焗原隻游水波士頓龍蝦，香茅汁平衡了濃郁的波士頓龍蝦膩滯感。烤澳洲M6和牛肉眼扒（180克）伴粉紅椒粒汁，及烤澳洲牛柳伴鴨肝伴青椒粒汁，當中以粉紅椒粒和青椒粒特別調製的汁醬，散發著不同個性的胡椒香氣，伴上澳洲肉扒同樣出色。而扒大蝦及帶子伴龍蒿草牛油汁香氣逼人；香煎鱈魚柳伴刁草忌廉汁則軟嫩可口；喜歡味道濃郁的不妨選擇香煎羊鞍扒伴迷迭香汁；香煎美國極黑豚鞍扒伴百里香汁，汁醬的配搭和烹調甚有驚喜。無論海鮮控抑或肉扒愛好者，定必被各種香草及香料的魅力迷倒。
