SPD4459 [Dessert 甜品篇] Pierre Hermé + 壓軸推介: 英國傳統糖果店Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe - by Jun

Previously, I introduced a dessert store in IFC called petite Amanda, and of course, petite Amanda is not the only one dessert store in IFC. Since IFC is located in the heart of Hong Kong - Central, and includes a luxury shopping mall, a lot of famous restaurants have rented a place or even just a corner to sell their products. Pierre Hermé is one of them.

Pierre Hermé is a international leading group created by Pierre Hermé and Charles Znaty in 1997, and has been expanding its network strongly since 2010. That's the reason why today we can go to HK's IFC to purchase its products.

Pierre Hermé is well-known for its macarons. Therefore, this time I am going to introduce its macarons.

Among the different sets of macarons, I chose Hong Kong Landmark!

Hong Kong Landmark

There are 7 pieces in a box of Hong Kong Landmark. Here are the 4 flavors I love the most.

Macaron Veloutés Framboise 紅桑子乳酪

The first one is Macaron Veloutés Framboise. It's raspberry flavor. Sour and sweet tasting with some raspberry flesh and yogurt in between. I bet raspberry-holic will love it very much.

Macaron Veloutés Citron Vert 青檸乳酪

Macaron Veloutés Citron Vert is lime flavor. It also tastes sweet and sour but this mixture of taste is different from raspberry's. I like yogurt and the flavor of lime and thus I love this macaron.

Infiniment Chocolat Porcelana (Pure Origin Venezuela Porcelana Dark Chocolate) 白瓷黑朱古力

I am a chocoholic and this Infiniment Chocolat Porcelana is exactly my cup of tea! Fortunately it's made with dark chocolate, it's not too sweet and remains dark chocolate's fragrance and richness. 

Ispahan (Rose, Litchi, Raspberry) 玫瑰荔枝紅莓

Well, finally come to my favorite pick! Although I like the dark chocolate one, this Ispahan is the most satisfying macaron since it surprised me. The fresh-tasting rose perfectly matches with the sweet and sour litchi and raspberry. This mixture of flavors successfully creates different level of tastes. Therefore, this should be termed as a must-try item!

Hey! Are you still hesitating? What are you waiting for? Just go and try them now :D! Woohoo~

{壓軸推介}

Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe

因為今篇係最後1篇[Dessert 甜品篇], 我決定為大家送上壓軸推介: Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe!!!!!

呢間充滿英國風既糖果店係非常強大既外國勢力, 因為係英國已經擁有超過百年歷史, 上個月尾先攻入香港既擺花街, 同英國店一樣, 呢間位於擺花街既首間香港分店亦沿用維多利亞式設計, 係咪好似哈利波特電影既場景咁呢? 仲有超過1000款糖果, 連懷舊既rhubarb, custards, 同handmade既Toffees, Fudges都有!! 

今次開業, 連政府都出press release介紹, 真係好巴閉架!

未去過英國或者去完返黎好掛住果到D糖果既話, 呢間店一定要去喇!

P.S. FB有好多糖既相, 慎入! 因為睇完會好心動!! :D

SPD4459 [Dessert甜品篇] Yuen Kee Dessert 源記甜品專家 - by Jun

之前一路都係介紹西式desserts, 主要都係cake, crepes, ice cream等等... 但其實desserts仲有糖水! 今次就介紹一間超過150年歷史, 依然長做長有既老字號糖水鋪 --- 源記甜品專家 (Yuen Kee Dessert).

間店既裝潢依舊保留左老香港特色同味道, 簡單既裝潢, 微黃既燈光, 加埋廚房工作既老員工伯伯, 更加令人覺得有人情味..

Menu一樣唔花巧, 簡簡單單, 有D似茶樓既menu..

源記既桑寄蓮子雞蛋茶出唒名, 係must try.. 一定要試下!

桑寄蓮子雞蛋茶

蓮子既份量唔少, 幾足料下, 加上無芯, 綿到有入口即溶既感覺, 水準依然係咁高, good! 個雞蛋吸收唒糖水既甜味, 又不失茶葉蛋本身既茶香味同鹹味, balance返..隻蛋唔會太甜:D

另外燉蛋都係must try!!

燉蛋

燉蛋岩岩新鮮燉起, 所以仲可以見到微微脹起左, 食落口非常軟滑, 有少少薑汁味但唔會over, 依然係好香蛋味! 不過要記得食快少少, 因為入面仲有熱力, 想keep住蛋既滑就唔好食得咁慢喇!

最後要介紹雞蛋糕!

有D人話雞蛋糕無乜特別, 但其實整體都算唔錯, 幾香幾鬆化, 只係有少少乾同甜.. 不過懷舊既包裝加一加分!!

SPD4459【Vegetarian 素食主義】有機素食Soland - by Ada

又來介紹中西區既素食lu~~

這次要介紹的這一間有機素菜店位於中環，但位置非常隱蔽，本人不是中環人，所以都花了一段時間才找到確實位置......

餐廳就在這條小巷裡面

這間店鋪不是太大，只有5張檯左右，但原來每逢午飯時段都是坐無虛席的呢！幸好我一早預留了位置，所以才不用等位:)

入到店內，見到有些小品義賣，原來是幫助緬甸婦女的手工天然護膚品和一些手製的工藝品，很有意思呢！

我點了一個B餐，包了餐湯及飲品，本來對無蛋無奶又無糖的雪糕芭菲感興趣的...(很好奇到底好像甚麼都沒有下的雪糕芭菲會是甚麼味道跟樣子:P)

好吧，下次再有機會定會嘗嘗看。

先上菜的是南瓜湯，很濃很甜，可以看得出是很濃稠的，因為這餐廳是純素食，所以連湯也沒有加入任何奶類製品，全是由新鮮蔬菜打出來，好fresh！

這個飯的汁可以選擇絲瓜汁或者蕃茄汁，因覺得絲瓜汁好像較特別，所以點了。

結果這個汁比想象中的好吃喔！

因為是糙米飯，口感比平時的白米飯口感更煙韌，很有咬口！

而伴菜則有不同的蔬果，如椰菜菜、薯仔(我至愛！)、菜心及南瓜等，很天然的味道啊！

飲品方面，我點了杯果昔拌亞麻籽粉，這杯飲品口感特別，有香蕉味又有點酸酸甜甜的，吃完飯後喝可以消除飽膩感呢！

*為了鼓勵人們多吃素食，餐廳還有套票售賣，買10送2，有效期為一個月，而且完成套票還會再送兩客芭菲呢！*

SPD4459 [Nostalgia懷舊篇] 陸羽茶室Luk Yu Tea House - by Natalie

Hello everyone! It is nostalgic Saturday again. Today i will bring you to another tradition tea house which is called Luk Yu. I think most of you have heard about that!

Luk Yu Tea House founded in 1933, that is a really historical tea house.

There are total three floors in this building. Each floor has three separated rooms. And all the furniture inside are made by sandal wood and padauk wood, which are very valuable among the Chinese-style furniture.

Nostalgic Interior Design

Old style Chinese furniture

Menu of Luk Yu Tea House

Like other Chinese tea house, they have similar types of food offered. Nothing very special, but the environment made the whole meals fantastic :)

Shrimp Dumplings

Super big size "Bun with Cantonese Barbecue-flavored pork meat"

Vegetable Dumplings

 This soup is the "Must Order" item in the tea house.

Soup with almond and the lungs of pig - 杏汁豬肺湯

Black sesame roll

Overall, we were satisfied with the food and also the environment very much. Although we don't have a big surprise at all, we think that the services and atmosphere is very well. It is a good place for you and your family to enjoy an afternoon tea or dinner. Come and Try~

SPD4459 [Specialty 特色菜] 西班牙菜 Ole Spanish Restaurant - by Yannes

Ole Spanish Restaurant

A new restaurant opened in 2002 that replace La Taverna. Ole is serving genuine Spanish cuisine of high quality products. The restaurant wants their guests to feel that they are in Spain when they dine in Ole and the restaurant imports best selected Spanish wines.

Starters
Traditional Spanish Ham from Jabugo ~ not too salty but I don't like it

Garlic Shrimps ~ fresh

Main course 
Traditional Spanish seafood rice ~ my favorite :) 

Seafood Squid ink paella

Andalusian style marinated Iberico pork skewers ~ a little bit oily

Dessert ~  is the best !!

It is a little bit expensive but it is worth to pay.
