The name "Boston Restaurant (波士頓餐廳)" evokes an image of a Western cuisine haven. However, it is actually a place where Eastern and Western culinary traditions merge, creating a unique 'spark'. Interestingly, this 'spark' is a common theme in its signature dishes.
Visiting a steakhouse, it is a must to try their meat offerings. This establishment's standout dish is the 'Beef Brochette Flambé (火焰牛柳).' Its softness, tenderness, and juiciness are sure to impress. To keep the fillet at its peak, it is recommended to have it medium-rare. Served on a hot iron plate, the steak continues to sizzle, achieving the perfect level of doneness and aroma by the time it reaches your table. But that's not the end! Remember the 'spark' concept we started with? The name 'Beef Brochette Flambé' directly ties to the concept of flames. As the steak is served, the waiter pours high-proof alcohol over it and lights it — a spectacle as the flames leap up. This unique experience might be something you can't find in other steakhouses. In these few moments, you're treated not just to a visual feast, but your stomach will surely be rumbling in anticipation.
After the main course, it's time for dessert. The dessert here also maintains the flame theme. Called 'Baked Alaska (火焰雪山),' this dessert is enveloped in a fluffy meringue exterior. Inside, there's a light sponge cake coupled with chocolate ice cream, providing a multi-layered taste sensation that is extraordinarily rich. Similar to the main course, the waiter will set the dessert alight with a blue flame before serving. The meringue, or 'snow mountain', turns a toasty brown, filling the air with a sweet, caramelized aroma. The finale is a pouring of chocolate sauce on top, making it irresistibly tempting!
Both these dishes are signatures of the Boston Restaurant, and both play with the theme of flames. After sampling these, you might find yourself reflecting on the successful fusion of Eastern and Western cuisine and the exciting interplay between food and flame.
