新浪尚品

　　按常理，五星级水准的自助餐往往也有不菲的“五星级”价格。因此发现坐落于上海普陀区宏泉丽笙酒店内的憩园餐厅，无疑是一份意外之喜：只需远不足二百元人民币，就可尽情享用品质超值的美味，体验足以让最见多识广的老饕都赞叹不已的用餐环境。

享用品质超值的美味

　　即使是菜品外观与服务质量， 憩园的自助餐也是无出其右。可别让实惠的价格给迷惑了，这里的用餐体验会让你惊叹不已！菜品的内容涵盖了来自世界各地的花样繁多的海量美食，若想遍尝美味而对其中的饮食知识无所不知，几无任何可能。在被众多美味包围的同时，你也许会花更多的时间欣赏酒店奢华的用餐环境。而且，可能经常出现下面这样有趣的场景：你会把每一道造型独特别致、点缀与众不同的菜品都仔细研究鉴赏一番——任何两道菜的外观都不完全相同。如果你能想象一次自助餐主题的艺术展——目及之处所有菜品都美不胜收、引人注目，那你就算跨入憩园的饮食艺术之门了。在尽情享用美味时，让人心旷神怡的不仅是这里优雅与现代和谐融合的意境，为你助兴的还有专业歌手的天籁之音。

主厨Daniel James Turner先生

　　我在用自助餐时总是喜欢在餐盘上尽量堆满最多种类的不同美味，而在憩园，这看起来几乎是“Mission Impossible(不可能完成的任务)”。从菜系到口味，这里的选择多不胜数，显然想要尝遍所有美食，最好是成为这里的常客。再者，憩园的招牌菜也是时常更新，以展现主厨Daniel James Turner先生渊博精湛的厨艺，他和他敬业的团队每天都力求完美地将这些美味奉献给每位客人。

所有的海鲜从选材到制作均以“鲜”字当头

　　在这个特别的夜晚，我首先打算品尝的是稀松平常的冷盘、蟹足与沙律，然而它们的味道却十分不“稀松平常”。 清凉新鲜的沙律包括各种蔬菜与多种最受欢迎的酱汁(千岛酱是我的最爱)；所有的海鲜(如上文提到的蟹足)从选材到制作均以“鲜”字当头。除此以外，还有很多可以选择的美味。餐厅外一单间内设有专门的寿司/刺身区，同处一室的还有一个正宗的火锅区，这是我第一次在自助餐餐馆发现这种料理方法。两口巨大的火锅(其一为辣味)旁整齐地摆放着各种食材，供客人们在此随心所欲的涮制。与我之前品尝过的国内其他火锅店相比，这种吃法的味道可谓地道十足。

　　自助餐按不同风格分为多个菜品区，分别以世界不同地域的美食为主题。当晚我每次选餐都尽可能取用最多的种类，每一种品尝一小部分。首轮我的味蕾迎来的是口感极佳的咖喱鸡。其口味并非过于辛辣，却充满恰到好处的刺激与热情，十分接近于口感浓郁丰厚的玛莎拉咖喱鸡(此美味在全世界广受好评)。与之搭配的是取于相邻菜品区的味道浓厚、口感松软的意大利千层面。我把这些经典至爱的美味配上一角“入口即溶”芝士披萨慢慢享用。首轮品尝后，我几乎立刻发现一个规律：憩园的美食盛宴提供了无比丰富的味觉元素，但无论你在餐盘上将其如何搭配，都能毫无例外地做到完美的融合与协调。

美味的牛排

　　第二轮开始，我已经有几分饱意。有人建议我尝尝腌羊排，我很庆幸自己接受了他的建议：羊排肉质柔嫩，腌制入味完美，隐约的甜味浓淡适度，并不影响其整体风味。这是一道在我唇齿之间回味良久的佳肴，无论你何时前往，千万不可错过。用来搭配这道绝妙美味的是烤土豆。不远处的约克郡布丁同样勾引着我的好奇和食欲。

　　越来越接近自己饭量的极限了，我急切的来到意大利菜品区。虽然胃里的空间只允许我享用一小份，却也足够让我回味无穷。这里所有的意大利面与酱汁皆可按你的喜好任意组合，并配有专门的厨师为你调制。我选择了粗纹通心粉搭配。每一段通心粉内外都裹满了艳红的酱汁，鲜嫩的番茄肉清晰可见。用来点缀这一艺术品的是少许现磨的帕尔玛干酪。用罢这顿美餐，只叹天堂也不过如此！

餐厅内的冰雕装饰

　　还没结束呢，我又尽量品尝了一些巧克力喷泉里浸着的新鲜水果。下次来访，我一定要在甜品区多多享受一番，这个充满甜蜜诱惑的地方一定会让你成为这里的回头客。

　　憩园餐厅堪称一件才华横溢的厨艺杰作，完美诠释了主厨Daniel James Tuner先生与其管理优秀、技艺精湛的团队的敬业精神，他们唯一的目标就是让每一位期待的顾客尽兴而归。如此出色的餐厅，我强烈推荐大家不妨多来几次。无论你距离普陀区有多远，憩园绝对会让你不虚此行！

　　It is certainly not uncommon to finda 5-star buffet attached with a hefty price tag. Finding TERRACE RESTAURANTinside the Radisson Blu Hotel located in Shanghai'sPu Tuo district was indeed a pleasant surprise. For well under 200RMB, patronscan enjoy truly unmatched food quality embedded within an atmosphere that issure to impress even the most seasoned restaurant goers. For those who live inPudong, the short voyage to the district of Pu Tuo is not any more out of theway than any of our weekly Saturday night excursions might be into the downtowncore for a night on the town。

　　When it comes to presentation andservice, this buffet is second to none. Don't let the price fool you. Theexperience of dining here will astonish you. The buffet itself is laden with ahuge variety of cuisines from around the globe. It is nearly impossible to tryeverything without reaching one's gastronomic capacity too soon. You mightspend most of your time enjoying the luxurious surroundings of the hotel itselfas delicious edibles call out to you in every direction. In addition, a lot ofthese curious moments might find you scanning over each uniquely presented dishthat is set in its own individually decorated display. Not one dish is presentedin the exact same way as its counterpart. If you can picture a buffet with anart gallery motif where every food item in view is designed to attract yourattention to its beauty, then you have arrived at the gates of The TERRACE. Inaddition to pleasing you with its harmonious combination of elegant and moderndecorum, a singer and keyboard player will entertain you with their pleasantsound while you dine to your heart's content。

　　I love to place as wide a variety aspossible of tastes on my plate whenever I visit a buffet restaurant. At theTERRACE, this had proved to be a near impossible task to accomplish. There isjust so much to choose from in terms of variety and taste that it would easilytake multiple visits (on different days) in order to try everything. Moreover,signature dishes might change from time to time in order to accommodate HeadChef Daniel James Turner's enormous database of fabulous recipes that he andhis dedicated staff strive to prepare on a daily basis。

　　On this particular night, I hadfirst decided to sample the usual cold cuts, crab legs and salad. However, thetastes of these delicious items were far from what I would call “usual”. Thesalad was cold and fresh, surrounded by neighboring vegetables and populardressings (I favor the Thousand Island dressing myself). All seafood (such asthe above-mentioned crab legs) are ordered and prepared fresh. There is so muchto choose from, including a sushi/sashimi bar in a separate room just outsideof the restaurant. It was also in this additional room that I had discovered anactual Hot Pot serving station. This was the first time that I had seen such anentity in a buffet setting before. Ingredients were laid neatly next to twolarge cooking pots (one spicy)， where guests could boil up their ownconcoctions. The resulting flavor of this fare was very authentic (as comparedwith the ones I had tried before in other local hot pot eateries around thecountry)。

　　The buffet featured many sectionsand serving stations; each encompassing a different cuisine from around theworld. On the night I had visited, I placed a tiny portion of as many dishes asI could on each of my plates. In the first round, my taste buds greeted afabulous chicken curry. It was not too spicy, but had just the right amount ofzing for flavor. It was quite similar in taste to the rich and buttery ChickenTikka Masala (that has already gained ample attention across the globe for itsdelicious flavor). Accompanied with this dish (at the adjoining station) was arich-tasting and soft textured lasagna. I enjoyed this version of the classicalfavorite along with a literal 'melt-in-your-mouth' cheese pizza slice. Afterthis first sampling, I came to an almost immediate discovery: The tastes thatjoin together when enjoying The TERRACE’s extraordinary delicacies, form analmost uniform collaboration of flavors that unite so well together regardlessof whom they may be partnered with on one’s serving plate。

　　On my second round I was alreadystarting to feel full. I was advised to try the marinated lamb chops. I wasglad I did. The meat was very tender and perfectly marinated. It possessed asubtly sweet taste that was just the right amount not to take away from itsoverall flavor. It was one of those tastes that would bathe in my palette forhours. It is surely not to be missed whenever you get a chance to visit. Ijoined this delicious wonder with a generous helping of roast potatoes.Yorkshire pudding was also not far away and was not missed by my curiousappetite either。

　　Feeling myself getting nearcapacity, I quickly hurried to the Italian serving station. I only had room fora small portion, but it was enough to enjoy immensely. A waiting chef will mixany combination of pasta and sauce to your liking while you wait. I choserigatoni in a hardy tomato sauce. The tomatoes were fresh and were easilyvisible in the sauce as bright red chunks caressing in and out of each tube ofthe macaroni. I sprinkled this work of art with a little freshly-gratedparmesan cheese. Heaven was far from a place I could describe myself in afterthis wonderful meal。

　　Not yet ended, I managed to tastesome fresh fruit dipped in a sweet chocolate fountain. On my next visit, I willsurely explore more of the dessert station, which was laden with enough sweettemptations to surely last you for more than one visit。

　　THE TERRACE RESTAURANT is a productof the superb talents of Chef Daniel James Turner and a well-organized kitchenof a hard-working and uniquely gifted cooking crew whose only aim is to pleaseits waiting guests. I highly recommend more than one visit to this outstandingrestaurant. Whether the Pu Tuo district is near or far from your whereabouts,it is definitely worth the trip!
