品 72 #13 2017 年 10 月 Gerry 曾在港岛香格里拉大酒店蜚声国际的 Lobster Bar and Grill 任职，他指出说：“我有幸与这里出色的团队共事， 专心致志地创制每一款鸡尾酒。 “十岁那年，我从菲律宾移居香港。当时做梦也没想过， 自己会在两家顶尖酒廊工作。我曾任职的 Lobster Bar and Grill 及现在的 Dr Fern’s 均获得殊荣，让我备感窝心。在香 港的餐饮业工作是我的荣幸，而有机会探索调酒这个奇妙世 界，则是我的运气。” Dr Fern’s 由明发楼拥有及经营，对其联合创始人 Jonathan Bui 而言，酒廊最近所收获的赞誉，是对集团致力 开拓新型餐饮的肯定。 他解释说：“在开业短短数月内获奖，是对我们辛勤工作 的肯定。从无到有开设这家酒廊并讲述其背后的故事，这过程 可谓百感交集，亦是珍贵且难忘的记忆。” With its extensive and impressive inventory of over 250 types of gin, Dr Fern’s head bartender Gerry Olino has concocted an array of magical, delectable mixes. The result is this fine speakeasy being given a coveted spot on the list of Asia’s 50 Best Bars – a resounding affirmation of Gerry and his team’s creative prowess. “I work with an amazing team who put their hearts and souls into each mix we create,” explains Gerry, who previously worked at the Island Shangri-La’s internationally acclaimed Lobster Bar and Grill. “When I was 10 years old and just moving to Hong Kong from the Philippines, I never thought that I would be a part of not only one, but two bars that have been given this honor. Being recognized previously for my work at the Lobster Bar and now at Dr Fern’s is a truly heart-warming feeling. It has been a privilege to work in Hong Kong’s food and beverage industry and I am so blessed to have discovered the intricate and beautiful world of mixology that I love so much.”
