Open Kitchen (Closed)

I am having a hard time finding a Significant Apple Danish lately. It has been my favorite since childhood and I am hoping there is somewhere else I can still buy it! Now I can find it in Open Kitchen (which formely called Simplylife).I do feel confident with Simplylife's pastry, as always, their Apple Danish is Crispy & Crunchy outside, Spongy inside. The sugar mixture that is whipped up has a lovely taste from the apple zest that goes in it. The apple slices are tossed in a cinnamon-sugar mixt

整個星期都為身體問題擔心和折騰早上看完醫生後終於能稍稍放下心頭大石下午要到哥的開業派對 所以只吃點點裹腹人在中環 想起之前在這晚餐時看到門外異常豐富的danish、salad、麵包等輕食 就動身前往IFC（另：這兒的晚餐也非常討我喜歡 有機會再臨才和大家分享）看到一排排色彩繽紛的食物已讓人覺得開心興奮話雖如此 但胃口仍一般 還是讓男友發辦好了明明說好只吃小份 想不到他居然點了兩件份量十足的Pizza哈哈Wild mushroom/ Chicken, spinach and mozzarella pizza $42@翻熱後的pizza是脆是脆 但只是微溫的 實在聊勝於無野菌味道香濃 配上拉絲芝士 不錯 不過湊巧來了一份批邊的 吃下有點乾相比之下菠菜雞肉一款較得我歡心 菠菜帶著點點的橄欖油香(大抵是在臨入爐前淋上一把)再加上雞胸、芝士和吊味的煙肉碎 配料濕度剛好 認真一點細嚐會發現各樣材料的味道非常配合 是值得encore

Open Kitchen的裝橫有點高貴的感覺，也頗舒適的，餐廳內有一開放式廚房，可看到㕑師烹煮食物，挺特別的。二人選餐後，會送上三片麵包，有普通法國包及黑麥法國包，味道就是一向吃到的法國包一樣，雖沒有翻熱過，但也尚算軟身。All Day Breakfast味道不過不失，有炒蛋白，煙肉，蘑菇，香腸，蕃茄，茄汁豆，方包，一般應有的食物。蛋白沒有味道，亦不順滑，有點炒過頭；煙肉味道一般；香腸也只屬一般；蘑菇算是最好味道的食材，而這個All Day Breakfast價錢是$158,論份量及味道，相對其他Cafe及餐廳，算是比較貴。另一道是奄列，本人嗜吃蛋及芝士，所以就點了火腿蘑菇芝士奄列。但貌相和味道卻不是預期的。不知是否其特色，奄列的蛋皮好厚，厚度可和玉子燒相比，但蛋皮非常厚實，貌相和實感都有點膠的感覺。奄列內的食材則只有少量，就是半塊火腿，半塊芝士及少許蘑菇。這道午餐實是有點失望，一般的奄列應為蛋皮薄以包裹所有餡料的。整體來說，食物味道及質素只屬一般，但價錢頗高。

香蕉合桃鬆餅 $19味道清新，有淡淡香蕉香而非人工精油味合桃多而不過硬，同鬆餅濕軟既感覺相配中意佢做到鬆餅感覺幾煙韌加上外皮烤到脆既同時，中間仲可以保持濕潤（因為水果既水份）唔算太重牛油味，食完唔會好劑可惜佢底部比較乾身，稍難咬開

Originally, I planned to eat at elsewhere but all restaurants in IFC were fully booked! So I came to Simplylife to grab a quick lunch before the movie starts! This place used to be Simplylife and its now called Open Kitchen. Same management just different name!Anyway, the restaurant was packed as well and I waited 5 min before I got a seat. I ordered a large salad ($78) and a Chicken spinach bread (pizza?)($42) and shared it with my friend. The large salad was great. They don't count by weight b

偏向虎山行的不是我，是我新熟絡的朋友EI (對，我身邊的所有人都有代號)。那虎山是指什麼？當然是指於open kitchen吃頓brunch啦。因為見到open kitchen的menu的價錢就猶如見老虎，暈。在open kitchen通常我只會買baked goods或沙律，因為IFC在我公司附近，而附近有此類食物供應的地方不多，難不成每次都走去soho嗎？但說到真的在餐廳範圍坐下吃一頓我平常真的不願意，因為它的價錢可以在中上環別處吃得非常好吃的！不過怎樣也好，這天EI強拉我來，我也不好推卻。侍應給了我們一個窗口的位置，非常光猛。點好菜後侍應很快就送上餐前包及處於室溫狀態的牛油。餐前包分2款，一是麥一是白，質地是我最愛可以殺死人的硬，但咬下或撕開的時候有非常多的麵包碎掉下來，太乾了。味道方面，2款麵包的味道沒什麼分別，麵包味不太夠。附近少有賣西式包的店子，這情況應該給了open kitchen很大的優勢，即使不太好吃，也長賣長有。而牛油更加不值一提了，這麼多的麵包附上這麼"多"的牛油，牛油味很淡，我們也沒有要求多一點。我的cappuccino率先來到，我要了一杯large size的

在中環逛街, 我們預先打電話到這家餐廳留座位晚飯, 並獲安排坐近落地玻璃窗的位置, 能遠眺對岸九龍的景物餐桌略為細小, 黑色的餐桌配白色的餐巾及碟子, 顏色對比有格調餐牌印刷簡單, 食物選擇不多, 只有數款First, 數款main course數款飯/意粉和兩款甜品等, 我們點了兩款First, 一客burger和一客pasta點菜過後, 侍應先送上一客麵包, 溫度冰冷, 表皮較硬, 但內裡非常鬆軟; 牛油軟滑, 不會有硬身的感覺, 用麵包輕輕一抹, 已容易把牛油塗上Caesar salad with grilled prawns份量極多, 有大量的羅馬生菜, 呈嫰嫰的青綠色, 生菜爽口, 一咬下去能發出清脆的聲音, 這是吃沙律時最令人享受的感覺; 配了一些烚雞蛋, 煮得剛剛好熟透, 蛋黃比溫泉蛋的再熟一點, 但仍然非常滑溜, 好像吃豆腐一樣的感覺; 加了$20配烤蝦, 有6隻蝦, 全都燒過, 味道有點像日式鐵板燒的大蝦, 肉質彈牙, 煮法一流意米龍蝦湯侍應一送上時, 陣陣龍蝦的香味撲鼻, 湯的質感很濃, 龍蝦味均勻地滲在湯內, 味道濃郁; 有數粒龍蝦肉, 肉質鮮嫰, 而意米亦算大粒

IFC 的Simplylife 原來已易名為Open Kitchen，但環境、裝修、菜牌都依舊，不知改名是不是為了除掉連鎖店的感覺，以配合IFC 的高貴形象呢？這兒的午餐分三步曲，首先是選擇凍茶或薑味汽水或梳打水，今次我選了凍茶走冰，而今天的凍茶只是凍檸茶，味道一般，反而之前嚐過的橙茶卻很好喝。第二步曲是選湯或沙律，我通常都會選沙律，今次也不例外。這兒的沙律菜一般都很新鮮，只配油醋汁，所以感覺清新，今日加了片橙肉，增添了酸甜味，而無論選湯或沙律，餐廳都會提供自家出品的麵包。最後一步是選主菜，有十多款選擇，一個午餐一般收$198，若選蝦、牛扒等主菜，便要$228或以上了。我今天的選擇是鰽魚茴香糙米飯。跟以前不同，魚肉是碎的，而不是一塊上的魚柳，我認為是慳食材的做法，不過魚肉加上海鮮湯煮的糙米飯頗好吃，能吃到我喜愛的茴香已夠我高興了。午餐另加甜品要$24，另加咖啡也一樣要$24。友人叫飽，所以沒有要。Open Kitchen 算是保持了Simplilife 的食物水準，以這個質素在這個商場來說已算不貴和不錯了，只是這兒坐滿客人後相當嘈吵，並非跟朋友談天的好地方。

I have ate their scone & pear danish before for breakfast! I believe it's one of my favor breakfast spot in Hong Kong with the restaurant/ cafe overlooking the harbour (ignoring the construction happening in front of the IFC mall).Can't get enough of their scone, so went to visit again one day last month to have their scone! This time I chose the apple danish together with the scone. The scone was still perfect as the one I ate last time when I came here! Hot & moist!! The pastry of the apple da

一早來到IFC 同老公食翻個靚早餐先。 唔問唔知原來已經改了名為OPEN KITCHEN，不過內部同食物QUALITY都係咩變，真係只係改名？ 【Bacon & egg Sandwich】/ 【Cheese & Ham Sandwich】- 麵包好好食， 尢其個Cheese & Ham 個比例好平，口感同味道都做到位。【Cameral Latte】- 真係做得好， 比STARBUCKS好飲好多。 老公點了西柚汁就很普通，沒有特別。＊＊【SCONE】 - SCONE 外型好吸引，但係好味道普通。不過比起其他地方， 如PACIFIC COFFEE， STARBUCKS既已經好很多。可惜，美中不足就係用既係牛油，而不是鮮奶油。加上牛油太少， 要加既話就要加＄5， 所以我放棄沒有加。＊＊＊食物QUALITY係幾好，但係服務就係要改善一下啦！ 

人就是這樣，明知山有虎，偏向虎山行。明知open kitchen是貴的，但我偏向open kitchen行。一個月總有幾次很想吃它的沙律。話雖這樣說，其實要在香港找到這類沙律的餐廳不多，在soho的那些更貴呢。不嫌我長氣，open kitchen 的沙律並沒有很健康，千萬不要以為吃它的沙律就是輕食(除非你原本就真的是乾炒牛河，M記加大之類的)。為什麼？除了大部分沙律選擇都加了很多很多的橄欖油外(橄欖油無疑是比一般油健康但它始終是油！)，它的選擇還有pasta salad或caesar salad等，都是預先拌好沙律醬，而眾所週知，沙律醬是很胖的。那麼沒有南瓜的日子通常也有甜薯，甜薯/薯仔是一種健康食物，但太多則不好 (偏偏open kitchen通常會夾很多！)。反正吃這裡的沙律也要適可而止。如要真的吃一頓健康的午飯，在香港，還是自己準備吧。嘩，週末的沙律選擇和平日的有點不同 (雖然平日的選擇也有轉換)，例如沒有西蘭花但有椰菜花。粟米是每天也供應，而且像是從新鮮的粟米切下來 (因為有一整片的粟米)，吃下爽脆亦甜。紅菜頭有其獨特的味道。這天沒有南瓜，又沒有甜薯，只有薯仔，有點失望。我猜薯

星期日一個人自閉TEA 一 TEA叫左個Mushroom Pizza   + Green apple smoothie揀個窗口位聽住歌.... 拍MV咩Green apple smoothie $38 --- 青蘋果肉都好多, 杰杰地但好青香Mushroom Pizza  --- 超多超多既菇, 不同種類舖滿晒成個面, 亦有D Creamy既汁係到, 大滿足~其實依到人真係太多, 我覺得一個人黎係最好。

I saw this place long time ago...but never know what's the name of this restaurant/ cafe.After some research on the net, I found out that this location used to be Simplylife, but now it's called Open Kitchen.I always see there are lots of bright & colorful pastries & breads line up on the counter, always want to try it!! Finally found one day last month, which I need to wake up so early for work, to try out this place for breakfast.No wonder why I can't see the name like FOREVER! It's because th

Mom would like to have brunch on a Sunday morning and she suggested coming to simplylife...which is now renamed after the renovation...but I couldn't really tell which parts were re-dotheir bread is very nice...it's french baguette...We ordered the following:Full breakfast - as good as before but the portion is smaller and the sausage looks very weirdOmlette - a bit over done so the texture wasn't good; it now comes with fries instead of salad which is superb...I love their friesTruffle cream sa

If you are looking for a short break at IFC, Open kitchen is definitely your choice. Fresh, natural and healthy sandwiches and salad are served in this relatively open area. I went there in a Sunday afternoon for a quick lunch. Enironment (7/10)Open and spacious, casual and relaxing. Your eyes would be dazzled by the attractively arranged food when you enter the cafe. The major drawbacks might be the noisiness and poor window view of the construction site.Food (8.5/10)I ordered a Turkey and Brie
