Chez Meli Melo (Closed)

Having a hard time to think of a good lunch, I suddenly remember that I have always missed the ham and cheese baguette in France and Canada-Quebec from a few years ago. So I came here searching for the same authentic taste.They have set lunches priced at $68, with soup / salad and 4 choices of baguette that day.  The 4 choices are: cooked ham, sausage, parma ham, and tuna.  I chose the one with parma ham, pickles and butter, and the soup of the day - broccolli.The bread was still warm when I too

Located right next to La Rotisserie lies this really nice baguette shop.This joint is a popular pick for the French and expats who want to sink their teeth in a real baguette.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Parisien - Ham and guerkins:With an authentic baguette and nice fillings nothing can go wrong.This time I tried the Parisien which had ham and guerkins and it was great because the saltiness of the ham and the refreshing guerkins were a perfect match.However it would taste nicer if the baguette was wa

I saw this place before we moved to Sheung Wan and it looked so great. When our movers took their lunch break, we headed over to grab some sandwiches.The sandwiches are all very simple, each with typically three of the following: ham, parma ham, pickles, butter, cheese, tomatoes. For example, I got one with ham, tomatoes, and a herb-cheese spread. The star of the show is of course the baguette. They're crispy and also soft, and warm and bready and not overpowering. The ham was both great-looking

試過Homemade cake的檸檬和香蕉都很不錯當然有用新鮮果肉而且香蕉也沒有發黑的迹象紙袋吸油吸得厲害看起來好像很heavy像loaf吃下卻全不覺膩滯!這可真有點費解了不過因為全都在家吃所以弄得來已忘了拍照..只有這個罕見的Taboule salad在川善的時候拿了出來先拍個照這是mini size最好供好奇人試試口味也不怕浪費因中午還要去iBakery吃中餐這便與Matcha Soul成為我的午前小食(其實Taboule主要是穀麥..竟成了我的小食==)混合了某種香草, 蕃茄青瓜和檸檬汁等正常份量的便正適合炎炎夏日作午餐老闆娘非常NICE

While the English staple food is a good sarnie, the French have baguettes.Same with the Chinese they can’t understand the love of bread and potatoes while we cant understand why they love rice everyday!In France there will always be someone around carrying a baguette in a long paper bag. If you’ve been to France there are so many food varieties and not just crepes and macarons.To me there is nothing like a good crispy baguette with a moist soft chewy centre with nice fillings.In Hong Kong there

久不久，我都會走來幫襯 <Chez Meli Melo>， 但店主 Joyce 總會跟我說，食物的來貨價不斷加價，認真生意難做！ 她為了留住一班熟客，不會不停地加價，只會隔一段時間才加價。真是一位良心店主！ 店內的小擺設，彌漫著一點法式風情，亦看得出店主的心思！今次，我早上特意走來，看看有什麼新出品？ 聽她說有一些熱食，可供應午餐及晚餐，數量有限！ 好的！有機會會買來一試！既然來到，還是買份早餐！否則！早上只問事情又不幫襯的話，不太好意思呢！自家製榛子蛋糕聽她說沒有用上麵粉！ 不用麵粉竟可做到蛋糕？混合榛子碎及蛋...等！由於，店主本身對味精有敏感，所以，她以用料天然為主！ 大家可以食得健康！甜度剛好！榛子碎帶些微嚼勁，看來很結實！鬆軟程度卻不遜色！絕對食得過！Cappuccino 店主弄的 Cappuccino！比較一年前自己的食評，似乎跟一年前的貨色差不多！依然是稀薄的奶泡， 咖啡味道不失香濃！用心經營的小店，值得繼續支持！

我又走來幫襯 <Chez Meli Melo> ，今次部分食物已經加價！試一試其他法式食物！ 我見到法式雙併沙律，顏色鮮艷幾吸引！ Taboule + carrats $38 ( 附送法包兩小件)Taboule 麥配合青瓜粒、蕃茄粒、薄荷葉碎、少許紫洋蔥粒、混入檸檬汁；既清新又健康！ 況且，薄荷葉帶出獨特的味道！carrats 甘筍刨成絲，混入黑醋；甘筍的清甜味跟黑醋的酸味，相當匹配！ 甘筍含胡蘿蔔素、纖維.....兩者比較的話，我喜歡前者！ 如果，兩者混合一起，後者味道較搶！我覺得食完成兜沙律，連口腔亦感清新！法包外層較為脆身！內裡鬆軟，雙重口感！Flan ( Egg & milk tart ) $22以雞蛋及牛奶作為主要材料，做法將兩者混合後，拿去焗，焗至撻面有些少焦！但是，一件的賣相認真麻麻地，食起來甜味剛好！好像食燉蛋，幾軟滑！這個價錢不太值！Vegetable soup with herb $23 ( 附送法包兩小件)雜菜加香草，略帶惹味！ 雜菜包括薯仔、洋蔥、紅蘿蔔等，打成碎，沒有油！飲得健康！另外，要特別一提，湯很好賣！聽老闆娘 Joyce 講，中午 1

一早走入 Chez Meli Melo，見到法籍香港人女店主，我好奇一問，邊款法式早餐較受歡迎？由於，大部分客人係外國人；聽佢講外國人好少朝早食香蕉蛋糕之類甜嘢！法國人喜歡食朱古力牛角酥，加一杯咖啡！That's enough! 至於，英國人喜歡食牛角酥，加一杯咖啡！簡簡單單！而我哋香港人，食得比較豐富，半個法式麵包，最好仲要有肉餡。港式早餐更是通粉 / 麵 + 多士 + 飲品。講起上嚟香港人比外國人更大食！ 但係我哋可以 keep 到個身形！有見及此，不如一試法國人喜歡食嘅法式早餐！朱古力牛角酥 + Cappuccino $25論價錢！跟港式早餐差不多！相當抵食！我鍾意食牛角酥，但比較少食朱古力牛角酥；相中可見有好幾粒朱古力粒，不過對牛角唔見咗！ 完全唔似一個牛角酥！ 繼 Super Sandwiches 之後，另一牛角酥失敗之作！ 係幾鬆軟、面仍然脆；可惜缺乏一層一層嘅感覺，酥皮略遜一籌！咬開其實係空空如也！味道的確不錯！並不是想像中咁甜！Super Sandwiches http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?co

去法國旅行?暫時未有此planning。但在香港這美食之都,簡直想吃什麼正宗地方菜,也可吃到。今天來到禧利街盡頭(或萬克頓中心屈返落,步下幾級樓梯),一間由,在法國住了廿六年的香港人開的,法式三文治店。老闆為了帶給大家吃到,真正法包,是脆身,不會韌既事實。所以她供應的麵包,都是從法國廠房訂回來,自行再焗的。雖然店子沒什麼法國裝潢,但老闆娘極度友善的款待、介紹食品,還有坐在收銀機前的可愛小妹妹(應該是她的女兒),老闆娘用法語對她說什麼加什麼食物,怎樣按收銀機,囡囡做收銀,情景溫馨!講番食物,我吃了最多人點的Jambon Gryere芝士火腿法包。麵包的而且確是沒有「港式」法包韌,麵包芯有種麥香!另外,我想說,「芝士」雖然大家多會喜歡/慣吃溶化的芝士麵包,但這裡的芝士和火腿也是法國貨,絕對吃出另一種味道!早餐餐茶: Cappuccino。無乜驚喜,但配上早餐飲用,是必需的!又忍不住,不甘只買一樣東西了事,便買了一片,由老闆娘親手做的朱古力蛋糕$15。側看,以為是Loaf cake,誰知內裡有朱古力漿!不知蛋糕是否昨日產品,蛋糕身有點乾。整體朱古力味不夠甘濃味。少少失望。因為老闆娘對每樣食材

室外是冬末的和煦陽光，室內是濃濃麵包香，下午兩點多的小店內，三個中年男人排排擠在店內僅有、約莫一公尺長的板凳上，吃著法國空運而來再於店內加工的麵包，喝著香濃的Capuccino，有一句沒一句的跟嬌小健談、法國回港的老闆娘聊著天。「這個麵包真的好吃」、「芝士很香很滑」、「咖啡也很不錯」，我們各自一言一語的稱讚著Joyce製作出來的美味。「真高興你們喜歡，」Joyce開懷的說。是什麼第一次來「Chez Meli Melo」？我已經記不得，不過卻記的很清楚會踏進「Chez Meli Melo」，是因為某家越式法包店整間頂給另一經營團隊後大失水準，愛吃麵包的我在到處找有好吃的三明治而踏進來。一試上癮後帶著大力女王也來光顧，沒想到大力女王居然可以一個禮拜連續四天來消費，還創下早晚各來一次的紀錄。我最愛的Sandwich Baguette是「Jambon Gruyere」，法國麵包夾著法國芝士與法國熟火腿。淺褐色外皮的硬硬法國麵包、乳白色微帶甜味而香滑細緻的芝士、粉紅色味道清淡滑順入口的火腿，口感、香味、美觀三者融合為一。「咖啡」也非常值得稱讚，雖然比不上附近那兩家人氣咖啡店，但我覺得已屬於極佳，

本來呢，是打算來吃法包當早餐的，可是當天遲了起床，而且在走來的路上去了蛇王林吃蛇羹，結果來到的時候，其實已經有大半飽的了！（而且朋友還未到，正餐還未開始呢！）向來愛吃歐陸式麵包，法包也是鍾情的包種之一，尤其喜歡用法包來做三文治。因此知道有此標榜正宗法國口味的法包店，又豈可錯過？店主是法國旅法廿年，回流香港的 Joyce，有理由相信這裡的口味應該會幾「法國」的。法包三文治都在玻璃櫃裡展示著，但看她們的餐牌，單是三文治其實都有十多廿種，櫃裡沒有的款式，只要向 Joyce 講明，她便會即場製作。一場來到，當然要吃最「法國」的款式，問她有什麼推介，她便介紹我吃這個 Saucisson Beurre ($45)。中文即是香腸牛油。原來櫃面下藏了張長椅，算是有個小小的堂食地方。不好拿著法包邊走邊吃，也就當店吃了。點之前Joyce 覽說明這個三文治是較重口味的，因為餡料有法國乾肉腸、法國醃小黃瓜 (cornichon) 還有牛油等。這個法國乾肉腸其實不似臘腸，樣子和味道都偏向像意式莎樂美腸的。醃小黃瓜酸酸鹹鹹，帶爽脆。法包據 Joyce 說是先在法國造好及烘焗約一兩成熟後，急凍空運來港，每日新鮮在店

:平時食妟果陣都會經過呢間野 不過都冇點留意 成條禧利街的食店午飯時間都好多人 唯獨是呢間自成一角 好似冇乜人間我以為係D隱世名店 基於好奇心就入去睇下喇 哇 一個法式三文治要40幾蚊 仲5包野飲 基本上係上環40幾蚊可以有個海南雞飯仲包野飲ga la賣得咁貴我以為食物應該ok la 點知仲衰過m記 人地m記10幾蚊就有一大塊雞扒仲有西生菜 呢間野賣40幾蚊一個雞肉三文治居然cheap到用唐生菜仲得幾塊雞肉 D雞肉又乾 一D都唔好食 仲要賣得咁貴 5怪知得冇人幫襯

Read about this sandwich shop in the paper and always wanted to try since it was near my office. Their selling point was that everything was sourced from France with authentic bread and ingredients. I ordered the "Italien" sandwich (ham + pickles) for $45 plus a Leek soup that was the soup of the day ($12).The soup, in particular, is a great for $12 - it was rich and flavorful with lots of puree'd leeks. Lots of vegetables and very little filler. Great texture and flavor without being heavy.

去文武廟還太歲前, 特意走來這裡試一試用法國頂級牛油製造的香蕉蛋糕..普通一個loaf size 8" 要$120....很貴呢第1次試還是買1件先好 @$15...店主很好人, 特別送多一件邊邊的給我...回到家, 用焗爐稍為焗熱..蛋糕很軟熟, 雖然紙袋及oven 底部有一點油..但吃落唔會覺得油膩..(奇華賣的滿手滿口都是油)..可惜稍為甜了點...相比下香蕉味不夠濃..至於牛油味亦不太濃, 這個我反而buy, 清清地更好..如果能把糖的份量減, 再增加香蕉的比重, 應該會更好吃..(對成本相信沒有太大影響)始終香港人越來越重視健康..少點甜, 多點香蕉..應該更加讓人喜歡 & 接受...
