前幾天放假, 順道會去一轉IFC, 所以便上Openrice看看有什麼甜品店。原來IFC的甜品店確實有不少, Petite Amanda、Jean-Paul、LGB、La Mission....真是花多眼亂, 本身想先試LGB再試Petite Amanada, 最後由於太飽, 最後決定先試LGB吧!Lunch Hour去到, 好彩還有1~2個位可以讓我坐下品嚐呢! 看到一排的蛋糕櫃和各款口味的Macaron, 真是心大心細。選擇困難症又發作了, 最後影下相望多望終於選擇到。落完order後, 隨後店員會把蛋糕及一杯清水奉上。不用開聲便有清水提供真是貼心的動作 可以淡化蛋糕的甜膩感呢。Lemon Tart, 平實的外表, 檸檬蓉吃落真材實料, 不是造作的檸檬酸。酸酸甜甜的感覺寧舍開胃, 最重要是酸甜的配合很平均, 而外圍餅底亦鬆脆富牛油香。側邊亦附上忌廉, 感覺此tart和忌廉不太夾, 所以都沒有用上。此tart真的是誠意推介呢!!!Banana Chocolate Cake, 話說朱古力和香蕉是一個絕妙的配搭。小妹近來也對香蕉味的甜品愈來愈喜歡, 來到這裡當然要試試這個啦。此款蛋糕

Lunch Hour去到, 好彩還有1~2個位可以讓我坐下品嚐呢! 看到一排的蛋糕櫃和各款口味的Macaron, 真是心大心細。
選擇困難症又發作了, 最後影下相望多望終於選擇到。落完order後, 隨後店員會把蛋糕及一杯清水奉上。
不用開聲便有清水提供真是貼心的動作
可以淡化蛋糕的甜膩感呢。

Banana Chocolate Cake, 話說朱古力和香蕉是一個絕妙的配搭。小妹近來也對香蕉味的甜品愈來愈喜歡,
來到這裡當然要試試這個啦。此款蛋糕是一層朱古力和一層香蕉蓉的, 合共4層, 香蕉蓉的份量絕不惹少。
但如說到驚喜卻沒有, 就是一貫朱古力配上香蕉的味道。

吃完後亦買了兩個Macaron回家慢慢品嚐, 一個$15, 要禮盒裝便$36兩粒。小妹選擇了Vanilla及Caramel。
先吃Vanilla味, 質感很鬆脆, 而且Vanilla夾心很香很好吃。反而Caramel就覺得實在太甜, 像在吃太妃拖肥糖一樣,
接受不了!

隔兩天, 和友人們在Elements看完戲後, 友人看到這裡的High tea set十分想試, 小妹當然奉陪。$320+10服務費,
包兩杯飲品。由於之前已經吃了Chez-Shibata的蛋糕, 所以說真的有點吃不下, 哈哈! 但又十分想試,
所以和友人三個人SHARE! 最後還吃剩了一個香蕉蛋糕呢!!! 失敬失敬!

最底層是咸點, 芝士火腿多士, 巴拿馬火腿露荀多士, 煙三文魚蛋沙律三文治
中間係蛋糕甜品類, banana cake, chocolate tart 及提子鬆餅 (banana cake這類蛋糕不是每次都同款)
頂層甜品, Peach Champagne, Macaron 4個, 還有中間不知道叫什麼的甜品, 梨味黎的。

先吃最底層的咸點:
芝士火腿多士, 麵包經烘過的, 配上有點溶的芝士和火腿, 很難會不好吃, 是穩陣的咸點。
巴馬火腿露荀多士, 巴馬火腿十分惹味, 配搭爽脆的露荀和點點的tomato salsa, 食完很想再食!!
但奈何只得兩件, 當然不能這樣自私啦, 哈哈!!

中間的Chocolate tart, 表面有些金粉閃閃的很美呢, 而內裡的chocolate十分rich不會太甜。
提子鬆餅, 鬆餅微暖, 店方提供了果醬/牛油/忌廉可隨喜好添加, 而小妹就覺得不用加已經好吃。
鬆餅牛油味很重, 而且不乾, 讚!

最上層, Peach Champagne (白桃香檳蛋糕), 最上層的Peach Jelly甜甜的, 下面是Peach Mousse+海綿蛋糕,
一層隔一層的味道不錯, 但卻不太吃得出香檳的味道。還是本來就是一個Peach Mousse cake是我誤會了?
Macaron, 應該是 Vanilla, Caramel, 開心果及紅桑莓味道。前者兩個已試過, 開心果沒什麼興趣, 所以試了紅桑莓,
不過吃落很普通, 很平淡, 連什麼味道也忘記了。
而中間不知名的東東, 有點像梨的味道, 很像在吃梨的果肉呢, 滿清新。

最後, 和友人各叫了一杯鮮果汁, 為這餐high tea劃上一個完美的句號。

老實說,很久以前我也吃過Lime,不過已經沒什麼印象了,基於S小姐的關係,Rose我倒是吃過不少。賣相呈淺粉紅色,吃起來餅身頗為鬆脆,Cream帶著幽幽的玫瑰芳香,而且不會太甜,實屬難得。另一款我吃得最多的是Blackcurrant,呈淡紫色的Blackcurrant,外層吃起來有份軟糯感,內裡是Blackcurrant Jam,吃起來頗為香甜,甜度較Rose來得強,但還算可以接受。

LGB只在Elements及IFC有分店,並不是總有一間係左近,因此要吃到也要講點緣份。侍應服務良好,需要我們只買非常小量的兩類裝,侍應還是細心我們包裹,封袋,一絲不苟,十分認真細心。可愛媽媽也大讚其Macaron好吃,質素自不待言。

臨走前給媽媽朋友看到了一塊宣傳版,寫著”1001 Foods You Must Taste Before You Die”,內容大意就是Macaron是1001種死前務必品嚐過的其中一種,接著她用一個充滿深度的眼神我向我冷笑了一下。

看完早場,我們到LGB吃午餐。星期六的十一時多,顧客不算多,環境寧靜。可是店舖以開放式設計,坐在靠近商場通道附近,私隱度不高。食物方面,有兩種套餐,包括Brunch和Lunch。我們吃了~Full English Breakfast($88):蛋可選煎或炒,我選了炒蛋,火侯恰好,非常滑,正!煙肉和香腸都不會太鹹,加上蘑菇、茄汁豆、半個蕃茄和多士,配上少量生果,營養均衡,亦能飽足。不過下次我會選配Mixed leaf,因為生果比較少,亦不是特別新鮮,草莓切成一半後,水份已流失了。餐湯:看到是綠色的,我的胃口大減,所以交由朋友喝光。他認為味道易接受,蔬菜味並非十分濃。沙律:蔬菜新鮮爽口,有質素!帕爾馬火腿火箭菜三文治配薯條($98):薯條又脆又香,好味道!三文治也不錯,麵包很軟,看似很清淡,但幸好蔬菜爽、火腿具鹹香,整體都令我滿意。Tea or Coffee:凍檸茶不過不失,但咖啡比較苦澀,平時只加一包糖的朋友,要多加一包才較易接受。總結而言,LGB的食物味道尚可,價錢偏貴,我只會偶一為之。

外在美固然重要, 我還是會看重內涵, mousse呈淡淡的粉色, 輕柔細緻, 在舌尖上慢慢溶化, 透出誘人的玫瑰花香, 濃度得宜, 不會太庸俗像香精一樣, 兩層的開心果蛋糕綿密軟熟, 一點也不乾身, 滿咀果仁香, 跟中間的純滑的荔枝果凍相配合, 甜美可人, 絕對不只空有美感。

Mont blanc算是這家的招牌之作, 見只餘下一件, 急得請店員馬上留起, 再慢慢作打算。 造型跟外面的沒多大的不同, 同樣以大量條狀的栗子蓉飾面, 將整個撻面包圍。一向喜愛栗子粉糯香甜的特質, 在甜品上更能將這優處展現出來。 栗蓉完全處於綿滑的狀態, 微微的黏性, 略嫌被忌廉沖稀一點, 那份芳香稍被分薄, 但糖分控制剛好, 香甜卻不膩


撻皮挺實然而鬆脆可口, 滿載牛油香, 來得乾爽, 未有被濕氣影響而有絲毫變腍, 從切面清楚看到, 栗蓉所佔的比例頗高, 差不多成了撻的一半, 毫不欺場, 平時常吃的多是重忌廉版本, 但甜忌廉不會過多, 只因作用並非托高整個撻, 使看起來更美, 而是帶出順滑的口感來。 跟撻相依的杏仁蛋糕, 味道甜又有份甘香
, 難怪吃罷臉上總掛著幸福的笑容。

Passion fruit & mango mousse用色較未算豐富, 只啡跟黃色, 交錯地配搭起來, 用上甚帶熱帶果香的芒果和熱情果, 甜酸並致, 同樣甜美多汁。 Mousse看起來偏實, 入口卻如絲般軟滑, 組織氣孔細緻, 不感鞋口或是削身, 和爽滑的芒果果凍很是配合。 作底的杏仁脆脆用料多種, 跟跟溶朱古力充分混合, 可是入口未如想像中般香脆, 像疏了氣變腍, 不然會更加完美。

Opera擁著數之不盡的層次, 細看原來軟朱古力、開心果蛋糕和咖啡奶油為一大層, 再反覆延續下去。 據過往的經驗所得, 朱古力和咖啡香好像難以並存, 但這家將兩者的味道都平衡得很好, 對朱古力的選材絕不馬虎, , 難怪更為細滑醇厚, 同時間透出陣陣咖啡幽香, 更像有份酒香帶來的甘澀, 充滿個性。 這家以開心果蛋糕取代杏仁蛋糕, 果仁香細膩, 浸過糖漿後更見軟熟。

Lemon tart算是一眾的糕點中最清新輕怡的口味, 使味蕾回復過來。 撻皮跟mont blanc沒兩樣, 厚薄一致, 鬆脆度不減。 未經焗製過, 那檸檬蛋細帶有幾分透明感, 那表面平滑得很, 果酸自然, 不會酸得令人露出痛苦的表情, 很順喉
, 裡頭混有粒粒雲呢拿籽, 香氣不感單一乏味。 甜度卻沒有刻意調味以蓋過酸香, 帶點黏稠, 像是滋潤著雙唇一樣, 我等還是非常受落。

一輪甜攻後, 各人面上都露出滿足的表情, 難以用言語來形容, 有時侯所買的雖不是什麼矜貴的東西, 只是那份心意, 已足夠了。 相信往後的日子, 還是不時來朝聖的, 特別是色彩繽紛的macaron, 如一次過可將每種味都全掃, 相信足夠我樂透一天了。

This place is simply terrible.Aside from the fake grass wall, the food is simply poor. I ordered medium lamb, what came was half lightly fried, half raw shoulder of lamb. This is cut of lamb is normally roasted due to the stringy fat content (umm stringy raw lamb fat - my favourite, i mean come on these are basics!) and i am sure the lamb is not fresh enough in Hong Kong for serving raw lamb to be anything but a health hazard.

歌劇院蛋糕像Tiramisu或所有巧克力蛋糕一樣,其實是比較容易好吃的甜點,因為咖啡、酒、巧克力和雲尼拿籽都是提供極上風味(對大腦感官刺激!)的成員,但要是餅店"將貨就價"未能下足適當份量,即使再好的餅師也無法改變那甜點只有"甜味"的事實吧~

不過收尾的strawberry shortcake卻十分悲催,沒文化的我倆還以為回像阿甘蝦那般『邪惡逼人』,沒想到卻是可憐的兩小球雪糕,配上幾片薄得可憐兮兮的草莓,還有沾滿糖霜的薄片餅乾,索價也要八十多,實有『坑爹』之嫌…好在雪糕質素不錯,草莓味天然清爽,奶味適度,裡面還藏了不少草莓果肉,只是吃雪糕的話…還不如去HD好過…

不過也要怪自己沒文化,其實shortcake不就是脆餅乾的意思!?只能說阿甘蝦的Strawberry shortcake營造出美好的幻象,還以為凡Strawberry shortcake皆是那般夢幻。人總是提高期望易如反掌,下調卻難若登山,達不到就怪罪他人亦或自怨自艾,一句『知足常樂』說得順口,就恐怕是樂也不甘呢…

本身有事不能來....緣份果然係緣份
由於被某團購的COURSE 所騙....結果又有時間同朋友過來TEA 一TEA

其實HIGH TEA 真的係近2年興 , 我到現在先第一次HIGH TEA JA

叫左SET FOR 2 $295 , 我倆不知原本包DRINK , 我地傻傻地叫左 MINT GREEN TEA
因為我們真的要HIGH "TEA"

我們由下食上~~~
鹹點真的唔錯~下層3款都幾好食

中層: 有CAKE/TART 有CREAM /JAM/牛油
中間個TART食極都唔知咩味....到走時先知原來係CHEEZE CAKE...
CREAM 就一D味都無...
整體麻麻

高層: 甜點
個Macaroon甜到暈....但口感不錯....
個CAKE...我唔知叫咩名...好係係用TEA 整....我真的想講難食到死...食了一小口...已吐出
中間的朋友吃了也放棄....

TEA : MINT GREEN TEA
其實不嬲對英式花茶麻麻...但話明係HIGH "TEA"
果然....好似某隻牙膏味LAW

早前去Element 搵友人食中午飯,再到我最愛的餐廳之一 LGB己經有一年沒有來過,因為不是在這邊工作,它的lunch set又只於weekday供應,所以一有機會便會來一次。上次食過佢地sandwich lunch set,好好味! 今次發現除了lunch set之外仲有breakfast,都係跟餐湯或沙律和茶。是次我點了Classic Eggs Benedict with Fruit Salad $70,點完後才記得自己前幾日都食了好幾隻蛋,在膽固醇的風險威脅下,都忍不住食下去!這個egg benedict以英式鬆餅、火腿、水煮蛋以及荷蘭醬做成,切開隻蛋便有蛋汁隨隨流出來,再加上濃濃的cheese,這個combination真是我的favourite (想起了配上熟蛋的McMuffin….!當然,防腐劑食物不能比較。) 如果鬆餅可以熱一點,更美味!食完主菜另點了甜品 Opera 這可是我另一最愛!對朱古力甜品沒什麼興趣的我都心動呢!因為當中加入了開心果,蛋糕內分了很多層次(比其他店賣的Opera更多),口感相當豐富,配合濃厚的朱古力是我必點item!餐茶我點了Chocolat

餐茶我點了Chocolate tea,本人比較喜歡茶配甜品,因為甜品太甜,用茶來中和一下,而且這款茶好滑,百飲不厭啊

Somehow a dinner isn't complete until there are good desserts to round it off and that's how we ended up at LGB one evening.

The cheese tart was rich but not overly dense. I liked it that it was smooth and not too sweet. The lemon tart had the right balance of sweetness and tartness and the crust was nicely buttery. Some people thought that the cream was superfluous but I thought it was a foil for people who might find the tart a tad sour. In any case, it was good cream so why waste it! (Says the Glutton...) The Opera was very competent: crispy flaky layers between light sponge cake layers. I liked the rich chocolate top not only because it was glossy and pretty (my superficial side coming out now) but also because it gave the cake a grown-up and sophisticated flavour, more depth, I suppose.

The macarons were a disappointment, too sweet and didn't taste very fresh... didn't tally with the memory I had of the first ever LGB macarons I tasted.

Overall, it was a pleasant dessert session.

聖誕假期來到圓方,有點想吃La Maison Du chocolat的蛋糕,但這一刻疲勞的身軀更想找個有座位的餐廳吃甜品,所以便來到Le Gouter Bernardaud。下午接近五時,餐廳還是滿座,要等候一會兒才能入座。這裡也有Afternoon Tea Set供應,內容都是三文治、鬆餅、蛋糕及Macarons,眼見有不少客人也在吃。但我們不太肚餓,只是想吃點甜,所以便決定散點蛋糕較合適。走到蛋糕凍櫃前看看,選了Lemon Tart及店員推介的Chocolate Secret,當然少不了最愛吃的Macarons。檸檬撻表面光滑,帶少許反光,上面還插有聖誕葉造型的朱古力片,賣相吸引。先嚐一口,撻皮慢慢滲出牛油香,味道不算濃烈,但厚薄還算均勻,帶點鬆脆。檸檬餡質感幼滑,濕潤黏稠,還佈滿了黑色的雲尼拿籽,入口酸酸甜甜,但酸度不夠在洲際酒店Lobby Lounge吃的那麼高,但整體吃下沒有甜膩感。伴碟還有忌廉,把它加上檸檬撻上吃好像又有點畫蛇添足,亦不愛單獨吃忌廉,所以一口也沒吃。Chocolate Secret,兩層朱古力蛋糕中間夾著是紅桑莓醬,面層還有白朱古力慕斯及雜莓。朱古力蛋糕稍為

Chocolate Secret,兩層朱古力蛋糕中間夾著是紅桑莓醬,面層還有白朱古力慕斯及雜莓。朱古力蛋糕稍為乾身一點,不夠濕潤,但其可可味濃郁甘醇,中間的紅桑莓醬,酸酸的,味道討人歡喜。蛋糕底部還有少許脆脆粒,還添口感。若蛋糕質感可再濕潤一點,一定更吸引。

這裡Macarons的味道,之前也已全吃過,今次還是選最愛的朱古力及焦糖味。但這次吃的口感跟之前數次的完全不一樣,水準大跌,令人很失望。Macarons入口外層一點也不鬆脆,韌性非常高,好像放了很久令質感變得軟稔一樣,加上內裡餅身有點乾,又非常黏牙,口感不能接受。

However, just like how it was being very dull, the fate was by the time my friend arrived, the booking of the day was all full (even she arrived half an hour before the buffet actually started). Bearing in mind that we MUST come back next time, we had no choice but to find somewhere in the Elements for afternoon tea.

LGB, a coffee shop that I've been always been walking pass by when I headed for movies in the Elements's cinema, but never had the chance to try it out. So here came the chance when we picked this for our afternoon's choice -
Earl Grey & Jasmine tea

Every afternoon tea set came with tea/coffee. I always thought that tea would be the best choice to go along cakes, tarts and scones. Great minds think alike, my friend and I both ordered tea without further thoughts - I ordered the Jasmine tea and she ordered an Earl Grey. To be honest, my Jasmine Tea was a so-so. Nothing too surprising as the tea was poured out from the tea pot - it wasn't particularly hot when served nor was it smelled of strong Jasmine. Quite disappointing, I must say...

And the highlight of the set arrived! The whole design of the set was huge and grand - caught me into surprise!
Nice presentation, but how about the food?
We started from the bottom - the ham & cheese toasts were alright: crispy and warm - but nothing too surprising; the parma ham with toasted french bread - didn't go too well together...

The middle layer - the scones: served with butter, jam and cream (which was placed on the top layer, and we didn't know about it until we finished the middle and reached for the top...what a pity) - scones were already cool down and turned hard by the time we ate, which really did put me off; Chocolate tart: very hard as my friend had a hard time just to slice it into two, the taste of chocolate was not too rich and the base of the tart was again too hard to chew; Coffee brownie and the caramel-ish cake? : both were so-so, again they were cold and hard when we tried them out, after a few bites we had no intention to carry on


The top layer - the macaroons: likewise a few of the reviews that some other people have written for LGB, the macaroons that were served here were extremly sweet. Sweeter than a lot of sweet shops/coffee shops out there! You would need to constantly fill yourself with water! and as for the mini pear and apple, we didn't realise they were until we asked the manager, from the look of them, we had no intention to try them out...

To wrap up our afternoon high tea's experience at LGB, as a beginner in judging afternoon high tea, I dare to say the afternoon high tea set here did not meet my expectation. I won't compare the tea set at LGB with ones served at hotels, but at least the cakes, tarts and scones were worser than the ones I tried at cake shops or coffee shops with a smaller fame. With such a price (around HKD$328 + 10%), the food definitely did not served the price justice, nor did the service in particular (should be more caring and the English skill of a few waiter/manager definitely needed some improvements when we are talking about LGB being a high-ended coffee shop in Elements and IFC). My friend and I came to a realisation that the only thing we enjoyed at LGB that afternoon was being able to chat for 3 hours without any signs of asking us to leave, despite the queue out there. I guess we paid for somewhere to sit in a decent environment, rather than enjoying the food for sure.
