台北隱藏了一家神旺飯店,殘編造訪世界各大星級飯店卻沒聽說過這一家,因此得知此消息當然是二話不說先去評鑑。
第一次造訪神旺飯店差一點走錯方向,因為谷歌先跳出忠孝東路,我們卻是相約去吃神旺飯店的下午茶,地點在南京東路上。好在這次殘編眼睛放亮,再三確認以免又搞烏龍,在司機起疑時,難得的充滿自信回答:「我是要去南京東路的神旺!」
先看影片:
There’s a hidden gem in Taipei called San Want Hotel. Of all the luxury hotels I’ve visited across the world, I haven’t heard of San Want, so I added it to my list and paid them a visit a few days ago.
Arriving the wrong location is only reasonable for a first visit because Google search results show the Zhongxiao East Road location first. We were going for San Want’s Afternoon Tea, which is served at the Nanjing East Road location. Luckily, I paid enough attention to the address this time and answered “I am going to the San Want on Nanjing East Road!” with confidence when the driver questioned me.
Watch our video first:
(English/英文):Turns out, San Want has two locations: San Want Hotel Taipei and San Want Residences Taipei. The ladder calls itself a “business hotel.” Usually, the first result on Google search is the bigger San Want Hotel located on Zhongxiao East Road, but the one we went to was ” San Want Residences Taipei ” on Nanjing East Road. Calling themselves a “business hotel” is just being humble, the interior is clean and elegant, similar to a star-rated hotel. The service at San Want Residences Taipei is also five stars.
神旺商務飯店、幫我按電梯、並護送我至目的地:二樓的「銀柏廳」。二樓電梯一開,走過綠色絨布廉即是銀柏廳,裝潢以金黃色搭配巴洛克圖形為主,頗有皇室的氛圍,右邊是金色的吧台桌,下面擺滿餐盤。殘編猜測是用來擺神旺酒店的自助式餐點。左側落地窗前有舒適的沙發座位,也是金色絨布,有英國皇家的感覺,也幫助我們進入狀況,因為我們今天是來品嚐神旺飯店的「英式經典下午茶」。
我們在週一下午造訪,並無他人用餐,在下午茶興盛的時代,讓我們享有包場的感覺,殘編甚至猶豫是否將這個滄海遺珠分享給大家,還是偷偷私藏?
(English/英文):
Before I stepped out of the car, the receptionist already rushed out of the hotel, across the road to open the car door for me, she escorted me step by step into San Want Residences Hotel, and up the elevator to my destination: San Want Residences’ restaurant/ dining Lounge on the second floor. Passing the green velvet curtains is the dining lounge, with tones of gold setting a royal atmosphere. There’s a row of golden bar table with stacked plates below. I’m guessing it’s for a buffet at the hotel. Luxurious Baroque style patterns help us get into a royal high tea mood. Today we are here to taste the “English Classic Afternoon Tea.
Our visit was on Monday afternoon, and we had the whole place to ourselves, making it a struggle to share this hidden gem.
(English/英文):
The 3 tier stand classic “English afternoon tea for two is priced at just $780 and includes a $200 drink or less, I’d call it “accessible luxury.” Drinks options under $200 on the menu include a variety of coffee and tea, milk tea, flavored milk, au lait, and apple juice or tomato juice from concentrate. We chose the “Hazelnut Latte.”
To get our veggies, we also ordered a garden salad ($250). The garden salad is a vegetarian salad with mixed lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrot slices, and cucumber.
(English/英文):
San Want’s afternoon tea set has excellent value for money.
We thought the three-tiered set was already a steal, better times lay ahead. Before the 3-layer stand, a plate of savoury snacks included in the plate set was served. The savoury plate consists of smoked salmon with bread, crabmeat spring rolls, and smoked-chicken and cheese sandwiches. Smoked salmon on bread is shaped into a rose with capers in the middle on a piece of lettuce and Mayonnaise. The cold spring roll is Vietnamese style, topped with Thai sweet and sour sauce. The smoked chicken sandwich has three layers of toast, a piece of white toast is sandwiched in the middle of two brown toasts. The sandwich has two slices of cheese and a thin piece of smoked chicken with Mayonnaise. Each dish has 2 servings. Nobles don’t fight for food.
架上的每樣點心也是各兩份。最下面一層有「葡萄乾司康」、「巧克力馬芬」跟「芝麻奶酪」。中間是「芒果蛋糕」、「輕乳酪蛋糕」和「咖哩一口酥」。最上面一層是綜合餅乾和「芭樂水果」片。熱騰騰的司康和咖哩一口酥建議趁熱吃,司康可搭配一旁的蜂蜜或鮮奶油。一口酥是咖喱口味,咖哩味很濃,猶如咖喱餃的味道。
(English/英文):
After the savory treats, the three-tier rack is served with fresh cream and honey. Each snack is served in two as well. The bottom layer includes raisins scones, chocolate muffins, and sesame pannacotta. The middle layer features mango cakes, cheesecakes, and currie pastries. The top tier contains cookies, macarons, and guava fruit slices. Warm scones and curry pastries are recommended to be eaten immediately, and the scones can be enjoyed with the honey and cream. The curry pastry is crispy and flaky and full of flavours.
(English/英文):
Our server came to us about this time to take our order for our waffles. There is more “value” for the money! The options for Waffles include original flavour, banana chocolate or seasonal fruits, we choose seasonal fruits. The item is a full-on waffle cut in four pieces. Most Taiwanese count the waffle itself as a full meal. I am concerned about the restaurant’s P&L (profit and loss) now. Freshly baked waffles are cut into four pieces and served with whipped cream, strawberry ice cream, and mixed fruit. the “mixed fruits include slices of melon, pineapple, guava, and grapes.
(English/英文):
sugar cravings strike after a savoury meal, hence desserts are eaten last, usually. Who knows, dessert can also trigger salt cravings. Last week, I followed my cravings and ordered a savoury meal after a 24-piece afternoon tea set at Courtyard Marriott Hotel Taipei. I ended up enjoying their exceptional Eggs Benedict eggs, which I still cannot stop thinking about. I decide to repeat the same footsteps and order the ” beef noodles” ($320) at San Want Hotel Residences to see if I can get lucky again.
這招果然屢試不爽,銀柏廳的牛肉麵口味自然香醇,搭配偏細的麵條好「吸」入口,無過多添加物的原汁原味讓人一口接一口,連討厭吃中式餐飲的殘編都停不下來,不禁開始懷疑,是否吃完甜食再吃鹹食,可以開啟不一樣的味蕾,使食物更美味?
(English/英文):
The trick works every time! Tried and tested. The beef noodles at San Want Hotel taste natural. Finer noodles make it easier to slurp. The original flavours without excessive additives leave you wanting for more, even for I who don’t like Chinese food. I can’t help but wonder if sweets trigger a different taste bud for savory food.
(English/英文):
All-in-all, San Want Residences Hotel Taipei has been tried and tested! Providing excellent quality for the money. From service to dining, this “business hotel” has way passed its level and reached the standard of a luxury hotel.
