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!

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 [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.



Amanda S
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.

Rather than watching these photos, why don't you go there and try in person? Maybe you will find your favorite pick!

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 [Dessert甜品篇] SEVVA - by Jun

If you're not contented with the previous desserts I recommended before, if you want something "high", then you have to pay attention to this post(!!), coz I am going to recommend you to have a high tea in SEVVA. (However, this time I will not introduce desserts only coz desserts were just a part of the whole tea set.)



Previously, I introduced Cake's Secrets 詩餅坊, and the chef of Cake's Secrets 詩餅坊 is a former SEVVA's chef, that's why Cake's Secrets' quality is guaranteed.

However, what Cake's Secrets cannot be mentioned in the same breath is the environment and atmosphere here. SEVVA has indoor and outdoor area. 


Indoor


Outdoor



As a fine dining restaurant, SEVVA's interior as well as its exterior design are both excellent. You can comfortably enjoy the amazing Central's view while having your great and relaxing afternoon tea here. What a wonderful afternoon!

SEVVA has 2 options for the high tea set. One is signature high tea set, and another one is vegetarian high tea set. This time, I would like to introduce signature high tea set. Here is the menu.



Here is the tea set and the Central's view as a natural background. :D



The tea set has 3 layers. Now I am going to introduce one by one from top to bottom.

Top

Mini Crab Cake Burger: It's interesting as the buns were black. There were crab cake, tomato, onions and lettuce between the black buns. It was crispy and delicious.

Vegetable Spring Rolls: The wrapper was thin so it's decently OK.

Toasted Crumpet with Smoked Salmon & Chive Cream Cheese: The smoked salmon was fresh and the cream cheese matched with the taste of Salmon. Good but nothing impressive.




Middle
Mini Short Rip Burger: The beef was cooked medium rare, nice! The red onion piece made the burger more fresh-tasting.

Chicken Roll Sandwich: It's funny coz it was wrapped like a candy. But the taste was like tuna rather than chicken. Overall, it was still good.

Ms.B's Turkey & Salad Sandwich: SEVVA used whole grain bread, the taste is good but a little bit dry and tough to eat.


Bottom
The Original Caramel Crunch Cake: It's delicious! This is SEVVA's signature cake and I didn't disappointed. It was light, the sponge cake was soft and fluffy and the cream was milky! Good!

Mini Mont Blanc: The cake was made with pureed chestnut and a meringue biscuit. It was light and not too sweet. Tasty!

Pineapple Carrot Cake: It's also delicious! A lot of carrot in it but I couldn't taste pineapple. (?_?)

Chocolate Fudge Cake with Marmalade: Very good! I love chocolate and this was exactly my cup of tea, and the taste was rich and not too sweet so nothing to complain.

Cigar Wafer Cookies: Not bad! Light and crunchy with a vanilla taste.


Overall speaking, the quality is good and the taste of the desserts are OK and personally speaking, they were better than the burgers and sandwiches. However, the price is quite expensive, after all SEVVA's a fine dining restaurant and the environment and atmosphere here are included in the price. So, if you want to have some "high" desserts along with Central's amazing view, SEVVA is a good choice.

SPD4459 [Dessert甜品篇] Cake's Secrets 詩餅坊 - by Jun




如果有家人/朋友/男女朋友生日, 過時過節想慶祝, 或者想慰勞一下自己平時返工返學辛苦既話, 你會去邊買蛋糕呢? 美心? 聖安娜? 東海堂? 又係呢D?! 不如試下 Cake's Secrets 詩餅坊 享受一下紫色既浪漫啦! :D


呢間餅店其實係由SEVVA前餅廚主理既, 所以用料品質有保證之餘, 仲不時有唔同款式既蛋糕推出, 保持客人新鮮感, 可以話係一間有誠意, 肯用心既餅店!



睇下個menu再睇下個櫥櫃先... 嘩...... 有好多款蛋糕, 到底食邊樣好呢?





今次就介紹大家幾款又好味又多好評又靚既蛋糕啦! 登登...第一款係主打: 紫蕃薯蛋糕(Purple Sweet Potato Cake)!!! 





鐘意蕃薯或者紫蕃薯既你千祈唔好錯過呢款, 因為呢個蛋糕係由海綿蛋糕同蕃薯蓉做成, 食落唔太甜但蕃薯味好濃郁, 鐘意蕃薯既話食完一定好滿足!

不過我最鐘意既就唔係蕃薯, 而係朱古力, 所以呢款朱古力慕絲紅梅流心蛋糕(Angela Cake)非常得我心! :)

外層係朱古力醬同朱古力薄片, 入面係朱古力慕絲同紅梅醬, 食落有朱古力既甜甜苦苦, 又有紅梅醬既酸酸甜甜, 開胃得黎大滿足!!

除左朱古力之外, 我都好鐘意綠茶味既甜品, 所以呢款綠茶紅豆蛋糕(Green Tea Red Bean Cake)都好岩我心水!

一條條又棟係到又訓係到既係綠茶蛋白脆條, 同其他甜品一樣, 唔太甜但味道好濃郁, 呢款就濃在綠茶味, 綠茶蛋白脆條圍住既就係綠茶海綿蛋糕同紅豆忌廉, 蛋糕夠鬆化, 大大粒既紅豆加埋蛋糕好好食, 兩樣味道加埋簡直係perfect match!! 

另外, 呢間餅店吸引食客之餘, 都吸引左唔少傳媒報導... 例如星島日報同U Magazine...




連英文媒體The Standard都有報導...



睇左咁多... 係咪心思思想去試下呢? Haha心動 不如行動啦! 減肥? 食完先減啦! 不過順帶一提, 如果想訂購磅裝蛋糕既話, 要3日前預訂架 :)
