顛覆了我的想象。麵包還可以這麼好吃。點了一個金槍魚麵包,外皮脆脆的,金槍魚超美味,比之前吃過的tuna都好吃。晚上散步去買了兩個,好吃到走在路上就吃完了。哭哭。都沒來得及拍照。普慶坊真是寶藏街區。

Genuinely my favorite spot to grab a baked good. Tucked into a quiet corner, the staff is always friendly and the smell inside is incredible! Always recommending people to swing by here ☺️ The cinnamon twists are always a must, but I try something new each time. The fruit pastries in particular always taste super fresh and are the perfect balance of sweet and savory!

Feeling the need to take a breather, I decided to have a quick lunch in Sheung Wan and take my time for a walk back to Central despite the weather. I'm so, so glad I decided to head back on foot, otherwise I wouldn't have come across Po's Atelier

天氣隨著復活節長假期結束,由前幾天的天朗氣清,變得驟晴驟雨。
即使下著雨,也無阻我想到上環走走,吃頓簡單的輕食午餐,然後慢步回中環的打算。

真係,真係好慶幸我無被天氣打消念頭,唔係都唔會遇上 Po's Atelier. 

Thankfully, it was only drizzling by the time I began to make my way back after a light lunch. As I reached the end of Po Hing Fong, a shop with minalistic decor, with its wide sliding door opened, caught my eyes.

As I walked in slowly and closed my umbrella carefully, I found myself surrounded by the incredibly lovely aroma of fresh bread, cream and butter. That sweet smell of fresh-from-the-oven bread, trapped in this chic bakery on a humid day like this, simply melted my heart.

Thanks to the moisture in the air, the aroma was amplified

- it smells like heaven.

For a moment, I thought I was in Paris.

甫步進,我這個愛麵包之人 
除了被眼前 實而不華 的新鮮麵包 定了神
也被那新鮮出爐麵包 和陣陣奶油香 停住了腳步

正正因為下著濛濛雨,空氣不太流通
濕氣把 新鮮麵包 的香氣都留住在店內。

真的,好香。

那是一種簡單  卻讓人感到滿滿的幸福 的一種香氣。

頓時,我以為自己身處巴黎。

As an amateur baker (of cakes) in love with bread and sourdough, I feel pretty ashamed of myself for not knowing this place and paying a visit earlier. At this point, I took my phone out for a quick research (and of course, pictures!), and realised - how silly of me - how could I have missed this all along?

On a rainy day like this, with a sudden craving for sweets, my eyes were immediately drawn towards the little display card of <Chocolate and Fig Danish>. Unfortunately, it was sold out. The shopkeeper - a lovely and helpful lady - immediately recommended the signature Danish of the day, which was one with Tomato and Cheese (think it was brie). Upon learning my craving for something sweet, she recommended the <Pain Au Chocolat>.

女店員十分友善,看到我發現 <朱古力無花果丹麥酥> 售磬的失落神情後,帶著和藹的笑容向我推介 是日丹麥酥 <蕃茄芝士丹麥酥>。

見我想食甜嘢,佢即刻推介 <Pain Au Chocolat> (朱古力麵包)。

The Pain Au Chocolat, overflowing with chocolate filling, looked absolutely delicious in a devilish way.

的確 好吸引 
--- 清楚睇到 一層 一層 酥皮
--- 朱古力份量都睇落好足

^ Look at how chubby they are! Exactly what good puff pastries are all about


Bearing in mind that I've just had lunch (albeit a light one), I felt too guilty to indulge in a pain au chocolat and went for the <Cinnamon Loaf> instead. 
(Trying to convince myself that it's a healthier choice haha!)

不過,實在太邪惡喇... 始終o岩o岩食咗lunch


所以,最後揀咗 <肉桂麵包> 

(其實係自我感覺良好d    定係自欺欺人 XD)

^ Look at how beautifully thick the loaf is...!

Curious about the batches of freshly baked buns topped with pistachios (or pumpkin seeds... I couldn't tell for sure), which were not displayed, I asked the friendly shopkeeper what flavour were they in. She said they were potato buns specially made for a restaurant. I wonder where I could try them out.

I couldn't wait to enjoy the Cinnamon Loaf...

As I sliced through it with a fruit knife (the only one I had in hand), I was first super delighted to see how swiftly the knife went through the crust, and that the loaf "sprang back", showing how soft, fresh and spongy it was.

一切落去,第一感受係 好開心 即使我係用緊生果力,都切得咁順 
--- 麵包酥皮外層清脆,唔痴力,麵包芯好軟,有彈性。
切完,個包無扁到。

Then, I was slightly disappointed to see that there was no sign of cinnamon at the cross-section.

然後,我有少少失望,麵包芯 無我期待嘅 肉桂。

Nevertheless, I totally forgot that slight disappointment upon my first bite.

Yummm.... It was really, really good. 

This Cinnamon Loaf was in fact a brioche, and yet the buttery cinnamon crust was not overpowering
- it was, in my opinion, aptly buttery and sweet, and did not outshine the moist, soft and spongy white bread.

第—啖,已經令我完全忘記剛才少少嘅失望。

肉桂外層的牛油酥皮 --- 好 香 脆

而且甜度適中   唔痴牙

簡簡單單的白麵包芯 --- 好 鬆 軟

而且鬆軟得來  係好似  又厚  又軟綿綿  而帶彈性嘅枕頭咁

I could not hold back the urge to have a second slice - yes, I know I said I just had lunch!

And I'm glad I did - because that made me realised I was too early to judge and to feel slightly disappointed with the absence of cinnamon at the cross-section.

實在 太美味

所以忍唔到口   襯新鮮食多一舊  
(係,我知我已經食咗晏
)

好彩切多一舊,唔係我都唔知自己失望得太早...

原來,個麵包芯   係 有 肉 桂 架!

Turned out there was indeed a beautiful swirl of cinnamon!

Super excited.

I was about to have a big bite when I suddenly noticed how beautifully caramelised the bottom of the Cinnamon Loaf was!

It was so beautiful that I managed to resist the urge to dig into it heartily, and let my camera ate first


正當我諗住  一大啖  享受肉桂嘅美味  

先發現   原來  麵包底 係微微焦香嘅金黃色!
即刻忍口

俾相機食先

^ Look at the swirl of cinnamon and the heavenly caramelised bottom...! 

As a big fan of cinnamon I only wish there was more...

(Nevertheless, all in all I still think this deserves a 5-star rating!)

Although I've never made bread on my own, I guess having a swirl of cinnamon throughout the bread should be achievable.

咬落就見到肉桂喇! 
焦脆嘅麵包  同樣有肉桂嘅香  甜味適中

唯一  美中不足係  希望麵包芯多d肉桂  唔係淨係得中間個舊有

Too full to finish the last 1/3 of this heavenly tasty Cinnamon Loaf fresh on the same day, I gladly gave it to my colleague who was just about to start his late lunch at his desk. Not being a particular fan of cinnamon, he was cool with the absence of cinnamon filling in his 1/3, and totally agreed with me that it was absolutely delicious 


Can't wait to visit again and try all the amazing pastries and bread! ;))

I am a big fan of bakery products and I love trying bread and pastries from different pâtisserie in every parts and corners of Hong Kong. Passion by Gerard Dubois, Patisserie Tony Wong, Clover Cake & Coffee House, 上野酵素麵包生活館 are just few of the many shops I have visited. Since I am passing by Sheung Wan on my way to work. I decided to visit one of the famous bakeries nearby, Po's Atelier.

There were sconuts (scone + donut) and some other sticks and bread when I arrived the bakery at 9:30am. I have tried cronuts (croissant + donut) in The Mandarin Cake Shop and Swissbeck before but I have never tried sconuts. The cronuts were superb so I am guessing that sconut, being a close relative, would be worth trying as well. There are three flavors available: chocolate, cinnamon and raisin. I go for the cinnamon sconut and here is the photo of it:

The cinnamon flavor wasn't strong at first bite but it left a nice aftertaste. The sconut is a bit too sweet and it lacks the savor of buttermilk and the slight saltiness which are the to-die-for factor of scone.

In terms of texture, it has a thick coat of crispy, sugary crust outside which is more like a biscuit than a scone or a donut. Nevertheless, the inner layer of the sconut resembles the dryness and coarseness of the scone. There were simply no trace of donuts in terms of both flavor and texture...the oiliness perhaps?

Anyway, I get a little picky when it comes to pastries. The sconut was still fairly decent overall.

One of our friend really raves about the bread at Po's Atelier so we came here to check it out as we were in the area for lunch. They had quite a few selection on showcase from bread to pastries to cookies. We noticed that they had Japanese writing on the price tags and inquired about that. They explained that they had a Japanese consultant when they first opened the bakery. Po's Classic ($14) - we got one of their their small baguette to try first.

幸好碰著有客人出來, 免卻一點尷尬, 跟一般麵包店不同, 款式相對集中, 陳設的方式也甚講究, 存量不會太多, 風格上偏近歐式低油低鹽的味道. 製作用心, 堅持用無添加的材料, 樣子不太花巧, 著重純樸的麵粉香, 滿有精品式包店的感覺, 真慶幸當時的款式頗齊全, 加起來約15款, 造型和味道不一, 從價位來看, 由$15-55不等, 顯然走高檔的路線。 配搭上不乏新驚喜, 用上三色椒、雲南火腿等少見的素材, 真富新意。

每款的吸引力相若, 教人很難取捨, 自然又在徘徊, 不知選那個才對, 跟店員的距離其實很近, 見他也有些不好意思呢! 很不容易才選好心儀的包款, 請他由櫃裡取出, 再細心地放進印有店名的紙袋中, 不經意顯露出一份個性。

每到麵包店, 對一些芝士系尤其敏感, 有時侯包底會滿佈小塊狀的芝士, 經高溫烘焗後變成了脆皮, 所以當看到fromage($25), 又怎能抵得住它的誘惑呢?

成品幼幼長長的, 帶淡啡的色澤, 表層和底部都結滿芝士, 咸香四溢。 質感頗有法包柔韌的影子, 得費點牙力, 邊嚼麥香邊透出, 但吃不慣硬包的或會覺得辛苦, 還好本身不抗拒煙韌的口感, 芝士香比預期出眾
, 不像車打芝士的溫和, 反嚐出羊奶芝士的重奶羶味, 帶一絲的甘澀, 總算滿足到我這芝士怪。

法包可算是歐式的經典滋味, 原條看起來的確吸引, 但心知只2人, 還是嬌小版的po’s classics($15)更合心意。 外皮呈均勻的焦色, 出奇地平滑, 未見多道自然的裂紋。 用少許力按壓下, 皮透薄得稍微裂開 香脆卻緊密, 沒多餘的碎屑掉下, 料子質優, 撲來的香氣也份外迷人, 擁著不一的氣孔, 粗中有細, 包心濕潤綿密, 沒半點兒乾鞋, 彈彈的, 單吃也很美味。

雖說包款不多, 但就是有股力量將我迷倒, 終於個多星期後又再重臨, 碰巧鍾情的多是味道較香甜的重口味, 不忍心將美味的一刻誤了, 遂在附近找個空位坐下, 再細心品嚐。

danish chocolat($18)體形還真小, 不比蛋撻大很多呢! 近$20的索價, 不便宜但味道確令人讚嘆。 賣相小巧的骰, 挺討好的, 酥皮一層疊一層, 分明細密, 鬆脆實在, 牛油味豐盈
, 朱古力成半溶的狀態, 輕伏在酥皮上, 甘醇卻又香甜, 可可香不造作, 足教人一試傾心。

軟包的質感很易為人接受, 加上是brioche底, 更添一份鬆化, 那份香軟來得天然, 沒人工的添加劑, 柔軟卻沒失咬口, 內藏小球的蘑菇茸, 綿滑卻仍保留少量菇粒, 菌香濃得化不開, 且多陣香草和橄欖油香, 是非常不俗的清新之選。

bostock($32)那甜美的造型足以將甜魔的視線定住, 貴為today’s special該有它的吸引力吧! 面層被厚厚的杏仁餡覆蓋, 焗香後竟像在吃曲奇般鬆脆, 奶味濃重, 奈何出油的程度挺厲害
, 將紙袋也弄髒。 榛果仁零散在表面, 香脆不帶油益味, 吃起來更豐富, 麵包偏濕軟, 夾餡軟糯輕黏著咀, 像飄送著陣陣栗子香, 偏甜膩卻又教人欲罷不能。

真懷念年多前自己親手搓製麵包, 甫由量麵粉、拌入酵母和水, 再經過不斷的拌勻和拍打, 眼見成品誕生, 那份滿足感是意想不到的大。 但近年來, 人懶散了不少, 稍欠當初的滿腔熱誠, 還望日後可重拾焗麵包之樂吧! 想起來附近一帶甚受麵包店的歡迎, le vain bakery、土匪飽飽, 還有新加入戰陣的bologne, 未知再來又會是什麼時侯?

Cafe Deadend 很紅, 紅到現在還持續出現人龍, 與店子相連、比 Deadend 更早出現的麵包店 Po's Atelier 卻好像漸漸被人遺忘。很記得「檸茶」過去曾摸了兩次門釘, 最後選擇了某個不用上班的日子, 再次來到普慶坊這個轉角處。那時候, 「末路」還未出現。大抵是太早來到, 店內麵包選擇沒有太多, 最後選擇了樣子最平凡的 Brioche, 來一試其基本功。麵包到手時還是暖暖的, 質感軟熟, 且富牛油香; 內層含有一大顆西梅, 以紅酒浸製, 果香十足; 麵包跟餡料味道甚為合襯, 感覺稱心。不過, 以 $20 的價錢來說, 性價比便不算太高, 只可以「少吃多滋味」。

I usually don't write reviews, but my friends recommended to go here for food & bread.The Sourdough bread is over done and very dry. I think bread in Supermarket is better done. It was baked Too much. Very dry & hard and too salty.I tried the cheese sticks as well. But i prefer to have my cheese bretzels from 7-Eleven. They are much tastier done. And why is it soo expensive everything? 50 HKD for a little bit of dry bread and more than 100 HKD for a bread? I know the rent must be very high here

CappuccinoIt's a little 1 toned and slightly woody and nutty after adding milk, definitely on the roasty side. Fairly old-school Australian-Italian coffee style especially after flying them into Hong Kong from Melbourne. Think it will fare better with a better Blend and Roasting calculating in the flight time and whatever science is behind coffee? But the Barista here made these pretty well and the milk was smooth! Pity about the base 5 Senses Coffee, which carries a lot more potential

Friend's Cheese and Ham Salad -
This looked better than the Menu suggested indeed. Apparently it was pretty good with poached eggs on top - the latter were slightly overcooked.

Apple Tart with Home Made Vanilla Ice Cream & Mint, Salted Caramel Sauce -
This was by-far the best product I have had in this establishment. Surface was caramelised well and the apples were cooked until transparent sweet but not dry. Liked the ice cream with real vanilla essence too! Salted Caramel Sauce was a good addition. Apparently has some Cinnamon input but couldn't detect much.

This is the store front. Usually there is a large heavy automatic metallic door right in the middle of the 3 panes. You press a button and it automatically slides open. There were quite a number of people milling about on my first visit. On my second visit there weren't any, probably because it was somewhere between lunch and afternoon tea.

It's surprisingly quiet and serene inside the bakery. Open, airy kitchen opening up to a large, full-length window. It's a very modern bakery and there is very little clutter.

Service:
Pretty non-intrusive, which is much appreciated. I must spend lots of time going back and forth between strong contenders. When it comes to decision-making in terms of food I am severely handicapped. It is not good. Keeps people waiting hm.

Grilled cheese stick $25

I somehow thought it would resemble the two types of cheesy bread, which I like. One type you can find at bakeries with a bit of grilled cheese on top and a really soft body. The other type is grissini topped with melted/grilled cheese. As it turned out, this grilled cheese stick was nothing like what I'd expected.

Quite a let down actually. It was too tough, like a jerky, which almost gave me a headache. I had to painfully discard half of the stick because it wasn't worth more headache. Also, it was tooo salty. The grilling intensified the savoury cheesy flavours significantly. If this crisp crust appeared on the edges of pizzas or onion soup, it would be delicious. But an entire stick of bread coated in grilled cheese is a bit too much.
Plus the bag in which the halved sticks were placed became soaked in oil shortly after.

Brioche with hazelnut cream, baked cream/custard topped with sugar-roasted hazelnuts...I have forgotten its name $32

This was shared with a friend on another occasion. It was....too cloyingly sweet. The hazelnut cream was smooth and substantial. Tasted pretty alright, but the brioche was quite sweet too and with the generous sprinkling of sugar-roasted hazelnuts....it was a bit too much for me. Oh and I forgot to mention the baked custard topping which, was well done....and also sweet. All in all, too sweet.
And oily. Gotta mention the oil absorbed by the paper bag.

another interestingly shaped item I didn't buy:

Yunnan ham bread, interestingly-shaped. Rationale..?

Conclusion:
I have heard good things about the chocolate croissant and the other loaves (something to do with fig/fruit/dates). Will see if I can pop down for tea or something after this stressful period. I think this bakery has much potential, and quality ingredients - looking forward to new and improved products!

******************************
Overall Ex/Interior/Concept:
Po's Atelier is another artisan Bakery that found is hidden away at theupper area of Sheung Wan. Most easy access is from the midlevels, or Sheung Wan MRT station -> Walk past Man Mau Temple and up ladder street till you hit Po Hing Fong street.

It is located in a former coffin shop which might have given the new owners a good deal as locals would definately be reluctant (bad spirits).

At the front you have the over the counter bakery, although we found the customer area extremely small, it gets unconformable with more than 3 people inside. In the back you have a very nice outdoor terrace and approx 7 tables (for 2 people) in the open concept area.

The design is modern, artsy and we like the big windows of the front shop which give you a good view on the bakeries machinery and work.

Drinks:
Cappuchino:
Very average. I am a huge coffee drinker and I hate it when my cappuccino is half cup foam and half cup actual drink. For me a cappuccino should have a smooth light layer of micro milk foam and the rest should be a perfect blend of espresso and hot milk, improvement possible.

Dirty:
A shot of espresso poured in cold milk, interesting concept. The taste was good, the espresso flavour ok.

Tab Water:
Average Tab Water, what we always recommend to restaurant owners, is to spice up your "free water", yes, it's free, and wont make you a dime, but it's one thing people will remember. So whenever we come over a new place, who serve's tab water, infused with strawberries or mint, lime, cucumber, it leaves a very positive side note and often might even overpower a certain bad flavour of the other drinks or mains. (especially because it's free!)
Dirty - Good

Food/Bakery:
We didn't get to try the Scone of the day as it was sold out at 12 noon already. The other pieces looked nice, but definitely expensive. We will come back and try a piece of bread loaf, being German, this is our speciality, so let's hope for some crusty crunchy surprise here (to be updated)

Other Remarks:
The owner is a chatty nice guy and definitely trying to serve every customer in a nice and personal fashion, surely they have to establish their customer base now, and it's to be seen how much time they can spend with the one on one time in the future.

One big minus were the... missing menus... Yes, we don't understand why you wouldn't (and if it's even just a simple printout) create a bunch of menus, at least for the sit ins and tables. There was one menu lying on the counter, and for some reason no one was allowed to move it more than 50 cm away from the counter. Yes, if your friends were seated already and you wanted to quickly show them what to order(yes, you need a menu to decide what to order), no go.

We are sure this will improve going forward, so best luck to this place!

近來分別在2本雜誌看到 Po's Atelier的介紹
剛好我也是上環holic 上星期決定一於去試試

環境:
位於上環普慶坊 從在上環地鐵站A2出口 都有一段相當的路程
沿著禧利街到皇后大道中 在走到樂古道和東街 最後經居賢坊直上就會看到這間白白的麵包店

雖然真的需要走過很多條街道 但你會享受上環那種自然的民生
完全有別於香港其他步伐明快的市區 是一個可以讓你lay back的地方


服務及食物:

入到店 兩位帥哥熱情的和我們打招呼 (注意: 全英對話)
更讓我們試吃他們最有名的烏龍茶無花果麵包

他們亦非常慷慨 一切是切了有1/3 手掌般大!

YUMYUM 其實是蠻美味的 無花果果肉很豐富 酸甜平均 讓整個麵包都非常濕潤
唯烏龍茶味道欠奉

為了一試烏龍茶麵包的味道 我們最後點了一個 OOLONG LOAF
外表普通的oolong loaf 大力一咬 嘻嘻 是麵包皮的煙韌
但味道非常清新 並沒有牛油味的騷香
內裡的麵包有別於鬆軟的口感
在嘴嚼的過程中非常有彈力 氣孔比平時的Loaf Bread 大
吃得出這個loaf bread並沒有落太多東西調味 味道頗淡

本以為這塊麵包十分普通之際 這塊oolong loaf 開始散出他獨有的香氣
清澈的oolong茶茶香慢慢的擴散到口中每個角落 感覺就像突如其來的清泉一樣
十分厲害! 在夏天吃這個oolong loaf 有煥然一新之效!

難怪這個麵包不需要任何甜/鹹味 因為這個麵包是以香氣製造味道


雖然索價$40 但這個oolong loaf真的值得 (相比起size較小的烏龍茶無花果麵包)
特別是因為辛辛苦苦的走上普慶坊喔!

從太平山街的茶家再往上走,便會來到普慶坊。兩三個星期前,這裡剛開了一間新的麵包店Po's Atelier。小店在街的角落,白色的外牆加上黑色的門框窗框,裝飾簡單平實。從自動門一走進麵包店,面前便擺出了不同種類的麵包,後方就是餅廚搓製及烘焗麵包的位置,新鮮的麵包不斷焗好出爐,傳來一陣又一陣的麵包香。餅廚及負責人介紹他們的麵包融入日本及斯堪的那維亞半島的風格來造,那維亞半島是指西部的挪威和南邊的瑞典,那麼即是甚麼風格呢?自己感受好了,大概總括來說就是日式再加點歐洲風。單從麵包,有部份跟平時吃的都差不多,有些賣相挺不錯,選了較特別的款式來吃,試試這個烏龍茶無花果麵包Oolong Fig Bread。一個麵包價值$55,絕不便宜,說他的體積很大,又不是,但說它小,又比我的手掌大,吃一個作午餐就會飽。負責人說烏龍茶的麵糰搓好後才把無花果繞進內,再放入焗爐烘焗。麵包聞下沒有甚麼茶香,但吃著才有點茶味,味道較淡,沒想像中濃郁的茶味。麵包外層微脆,內裡鬆軟,著大量無花果粒,差不多每口都吃到無花果肉,甜甜的,也愈吃愈甜,愛吃無花果的朋友定很喜歡。但個人認為就只吃到無花果甜,把本身淡薄的茶味都蓋過,若茶味

連著這店的後方鋪位也正在裝潢,是Po's Atelier準備開咖啡店,這樣客人便可以坐下享用新鮮製起的麵包。待咖啡店開業過後,也再來吧。
