SPD4459 [Dessert 甜品篇] petite Amanda - by Jun

Hey, dessert time again!! Do you wanna have some "simple, and not too sweet, like authentic French pastries"?! (YES!!!) 

Alright, then let me introduce a dessert store called petite Amanda.

petite Amanda is established by Amanda S, a well-known model of French-Taiwanese. Amanda’s passion for pastries began in 2005 when she started her training at the renowned school of culinary arts, Le Cordon Bleu in Paris where she got her first certificate.

Amanda then went on to gain further accreditations including a diploma in pastry. She gained on-the-job experience over the past six years by serving as an apprentice at Caprice in Hong Kong's Four Season Hotel, Ladurée in Paris and Jacques Genin, a small Parisian chocolatier.

And so, with all the practical skills on hand, Amanda decided to follow her childhood dream and opened petite Amanda. Her dream shop took a year of hard work to put together and today she is proud to share with you her passion for pastries at petite Amanda.

Let's see what does petite Amanda have!

Looks delicious and attractive, right? Now, I am going to introduce three types of desserts which gave me a delightful dessert experience!

Mille Feuille

The Mille Feuille is really good! It is made with Puff Pastry & Light Pastry Cream. I would like to recommend you to eat this first since it is light but surprisingly not as light as those tasteless desserts. Fortunately, it is not too sweet so I was not guilty after eating these 3 layers.. Haha!!

Plasir Sucre

After having a light dessert, maybe you can move on to a heavier one. I highly recommend this Plasir Sucre, which is Amanda's favourite pick. It is a heavier dessert since it is made with crunchy wafer-thin chocolate and hazelnut concoction. Not only did it give me a richer flavor, each layer also gave me different texture and melted in my mouth, what an irresistible and pleasant taste! 

One more little thing I would like to share with you guys --- the package design.

The package for take-away desserts looks like a pyramid. I really appreciate this design since it makes me think of the Egyptian Pyramid. Is there any mystery inside the pyramid? What will I see when I open the pyramid? Perhaps.. the mysteriously delicious desserts are already a kind of mystery... 


It's not surprising to see petite Amanda's desserts on magazines or newspapers.

SPD4459 [Dessert甜品篇] Häagen-Dazs - by Jun

Trick or treat?!!!!! LOL...

而家已經10月中喇!! 就到Halloween喇!! 想唔想食住甜品慶祝一下又可以同friends玩下過下癮呢? 位於蘭桂坊既專門店就搖身一變, 變成充滿神秘感既迷幻國度......

原本係咁既...

而家...

呢間專門店用唔同既奇幻植物改造成一個「鬼魅花園」, 櫥窗玻璃上既花係食人花, 佢地仲笑住咁向大家揮手, 叫大家快D入去添!! 如果要上樓上, 就要踏上由巨型書籍重叠成的奇妙階梯, 旁邊仲會有魔法蘑菇陪住你行上去, 係咪好吸引呢? :D 不過講到吸引, 又點及雪糕, 蛋糕, 形形色色既甜品吸引呢?

今年Halloween, Häagen-Dazs推出一款「鬼魅情謎」雪糕蛋糕 (Phantom Captivation Ice-cream Cake-Strawberry flavor), 外層其實係紅桑子醬混合朱古力醬造出既血紅色驚嚇效果, 再加上南瓜, 幽靈, 同蝙蝠形象做成既朱古力作為裝飾點綴, 更加能夠突顯鬼魅造型! 入面就係士多啤利味雪糕.. 朱古力加士多啤利, 係好難抗拒既配搭! 

除左Halloween蛋糕之外, 仲可以食埋Royal High Tea Set先走! 

同一般既tea set一樣, 有3層! 

上層就係你自己揀既6款味道既ice cream, 今次就揀左比利時朱古力夏威夷果仁, 士多啤梨芝士, 藍莓, 咖啡, 冧酒提子, 同埋焦糖脆皮.. 食過Häagen-Dazs都知幾好味啦! 仲有埋脆捧, 一啖雪糕一啖脆棒, 一啖軟一啖脆, 好味!

中層有4款desserts, 有puff有cake.. 特別想推介個Puff, 外脆內軟, 外層焗得好香口, 入面cream好滑又唔會好甜, 好好味好想再食! 

底層係水果, 食完咁多desserts之後食返清甜既水果無咁膩,  有D士多啤利用朱古力醬包住, 水果既鮮甜加埋朱古力既甜, perfect match好好味!

SPD4459 [Buffet自助餐篇] 碗屋 Wanya Japanese Restaurant- By Hody

日式放題

如果想食日式放題，首選一定係呢間。佢有好多選擇，而品質好好，魚生大部分都係好新鮮，仲有牛肉鍋，入面仲有好多材料。

肚餓啦，唔講咁多，食野先!

呢間放題好特別，首先每人可以選一隻燒鮑魚/薯蓉响螺/燒帶子。

鮑魚:好大隻架

薯蓉响螺:好香

各式刺身

雜錦刺身: 無限量供應，任點任食，單食刺身都已經回本

生蠔

海膽小手卷: 冇腥味，菜單冇海膽剌身，想食海膽就要記得叫呢個啦

燒物

鐵板帶子 + 蝦:帶子唔夠鮮味，反而燒蝦超爽口，又多汁

鐵板厚燒牛肉粒:牛肉約七成熟，味道略淡，欠缺牛味

燒銀鱈魚:肉質好滑，表皮燒至金黃色，充滿油香，加上燒汁相當吸引
 

燒鵝肝: 鵝肝表脆內嫩，入口即溶，加埋麵包食，感覺無咁油膩

燒羊架:有驚喜!好香羊肉味，唔太膻，好多肉汁

鹽燒雞翼: 普通

燒薯仔: 又香又甜

 鍋物

野菜鍋:冇特別，可以不吃，留肚食其他野

甜品

海膽豆腐: 豆腐上放有一片海膽同一d三文魚子，賣相好精緻，一口一件

芝麻雪糕+綠茶雪糕

Overall，食物質素整體唔錯，款式多，服務態度好，落單夠效率，上菜又快，唔會hea時間。
