Pret A Manger (Moved) New Location

呢日自己一個人食晏，唔太肚餓，難得會再去呢度，就試下，因為都幾貴間野雖然唔大，但都冇爆人，因為好多人買完上去office食，都好多人幫襯。另外服務都唔錯呀，因為佢係自助式，所以冇侍應會係出面，但都會有人間唔中出來幫你拾野，好主動tim同埋好好態度同笑容，比起出面算好好啦間唔中一兩次食下都唔錯

今晚兒子考試，所以晚飯時間要推遲一點，就趁這段時間到太古坊走一趟，買點下午茶填補這空檔。這間英式三文治連鎖店最近推出了三款加大份量的手製星級蛋糕，包括特濃朱古力、輕怡檸檬芝士和甘筍合桃蛋糕，而且於本月31日前到太古坊這分店購買任何新款蛋糕，即送熱飲一杯。 既然我是朱古力怪一名，當然點選了這件香濃朱古力蛋糕 ($25). 其實這件蛋糕外貌只是一件有星形圖案的 opera cake, 最上面一層朱古力醬是以60% 的法國 Valrhona 朱古力所製，可可味格外濃郁香醇，口感香軟幼滑，入口即溶且甜而不膩，非常滋味，可惜蛋糕部份相比就大為遜色，雖然大廚已把鮮忌廉注入朱古力夾心，但吃起來口感較為粗嚡，令人有「觀音頭掃把腳」的感覺。至於免費送贈的 Mocha, 原價也要 $28, 飲落咖啡味芳香，帶有微微的巧克力味，味道醇厚，還算不錯，其實一直覺得在悠閒、輕鬆的心情下喝咖啡，才能真正享受到咖啡的味道。

今天早上沒有食慾，只想吃些甜的食物，便來到這來買個藍莓muffin。藍莓鮮甜，muffin 暖暖的算是不錯，而且餅內濕濕的，達到muffin 的機本要求，但我個人較喜愛表面焗得很脆而內裏軟綿綿的那種。以早餐份量來說，這muffin不算是適中，可是價錢太高了，starbucks的價錢相約但份量比這個大得多。

得某報送出 Pret 的暖笠笠早餐換領信, 有得免費食早餐喎梗開心啦!這暖笠笠早餐有兩款, 分別有鮮番茄濃湯蜆殼粉 Rich Tomato Macaroni ($18)和 有機高纖燕麥片 Organic Porridge ($18)。配飲品如蒸餾咖啡、香茶或鮮榨橙汁的話就賣 $30 一套。由於我有兩封換領信, 就可以試齊兩款早餐了。第一次吃鮮番茄濃湯蜆殼粉配鮮搾橙汁。從貨架上拿了盛著蜆殼粉的紙碗到收銀處, 店員便會代為加入湯底。蕃茄湯底用有機素菜調製而成, 蕃茄味清新但不算太濃, 也有點帶酸, 裡面的蔬菜是洋蔥、椰菜、西芹、蕃茄等等, 煲得淋淋的, 很易吃。蜆殼粉可能是泡的時間比較長, 有點硬。橙汁是樽裝的, 有絲絲橙肉, 真材實料, 但原價賣 $22 一樽好貴喔。吃完還不夠飽 (畢竟那碗蜆殼粉只有 160 卡路里), 自己再真金白銀買了碗 香蕉蜜糖香脆麥片乳酪 Banana Honey Granola Bowl ($20) 來當甜品。裡面有什麼材料一看即明, 這樣的組合一定好吃, 而上面經改良, 加了葡萄乾、南瓜籽和芝麻等的 granola 甘香得很, 比以前 Pret Pot 的

When I first came to this town, I usually visit Starbucks because that's the only coffee shop I know. Then, my colleagues introduced me Pacific Coffee but I don't really like their sale attitude and style. Hum... I think Pret A Manger may have better match to my perference. I like their Mochachinno (HK$28).Most of the 1600 ~ 1800 hours, this Pret A Manger is not crowded/

最近office搬咗來太古坊,好開心見到哩道有間Pret。裝修重好靚!比起係中環去開嗰間IFC坐得舒服好多幫襯Pret已有好多年, 以前係英國讀書嗰陣已經去。去過London嘅食家一定認識佢哋,因為係倫敦市內Pret就好似７仔般,街頭街尾,緊有一間係咗近。畢業後去左New York做事,很開心又見到Pret。7年前回流返香港,佢地係我office附近開了第一間分店。一路以來都有幫襯,發覺近期的食物比三四年前好食好多。曾經有一排沒有幫襯因可能是manage by 一個本地嘅厨師,明顯覺得佢地食物及品牌走了下坡,失去了原有的風格。在近期的magazine上得知英國已派了佢地英國有經驗嘅management來接管, 這個女肥廚己無做,我便開始重拾對這店嘅信心。近期見佢地無論係包裝、食品、店內裝修、服務也有很大的改進。很喜歡這間公司對食物的熱誠,不斷進步...去到英國,New York及香港都保持高水準。講完history, 講講值得一讚嘅食物:Banana Honey Granola Yoghurt - 十分好吃。清甜嘅Honey配脆口的granola加鮮香蕉和好creamy的Greek Y

It's so surprised to find such high quality soup in a coffee shop. You will surely appreciate these hearty soups, especially in these cold days. I've tried the Ham, Cauliflower and Pistachio soup. It is very delicious. They aren't like the canned soup which you can commonly found in the fast food shop. The taste is as good as the ones you can have in a 5 star western restuarant. Each day they serve 3 different soups and at least one of them is a vegetarian soup. Icome here to have soups q

上星期來仲見佢裝修中, 過兩日就開番了。整體陳設變成以木色為主, 好 warm 。今次其實想寫下年年聖誕都要食的 Christmas Lunch。另搭一件 This Week's Special - Chicken & Basil Salad 雞肉香草沙律 ($22) = Chicken + Mayo + Basil + Tomato + Pinenuts = Mayo 比較多, 松子仁就混在 Mayo 裡, 有點油膩, 雞肉都不少, 最喜歡的其實是做三文治的五穀包 = 240 kcal + 11.3 g fat (根據 Pret 官網的資料)Christmas Lunch 聖誕火雞 ($22) = Turkey Breast + Stuffing + Cranberry Sauce + Spinach + Mayo = 每件售出的 Christmas Sandwich 三文治 Pret 會捐出一元給「願望成真基金」, 為患重病的小朋友實踐願望 = 這比Chicken & Basil Salad 好吃呀, 也許是紅莓醬的甜味令味道更有層次, 火雞肉齋吃的時候是乾韌到死, 夾在三文治裡和

到樓上見客後，才傍晚五點半，冇mood 返公司做野，便到這兒來個coffee break。點了甘筍蛋糕、熱咖啡，埋單$35。以self-serve 而言，絕不便宜。但就只了那片carrot cake 而巳。喜歡carrot cake 係事實，喜歡那油膩感、喜歡那層cream cheese frosting、喜歡甘筍絲藏在蛋糕裡、喜歡那甜到漏的感覺。還有，carrot cake 係家母的拿手糕點。

Crayfish & Roquette ($20) - yes it's pricey but it's by far my favourite sandwich at Pret; the strong flavour of the roquette is an acquired taste but it goes well with the riches crayfish in mayo ^_^Honey & Granola Pot ($17) - the price has risen again >_< but I simply love this classic breakfast item...divine!

人生的際遇係很難去觸媒, 千變萬化的. 本來係無事, 之後又變做有事, 最後仲未知有事定無事. 因為大事故, 要來這裡, 等待之時, 飲杯咖啡.熱咖啡: 6分, 好像不夠香濃, 飲完也未能醒神. 加上價錢係理所當然地比較貴, 不太值.地方不算好好坐, 但係地理因素就最好, 其實行遠一點落樓下係更多選擇.夠鐘就上樓.

牛油軟包加杯咖啡只需$20，當然不作他想，就要個小龍蝦牛油軟包搭配cappucino。麵包相當軟熟，加上龍蝦仔分量不小而且帶點鮮味，再配上乾身爽脆的生菜，自必然迅速將其消滅。它們的咖啡一向有水準，幾香濃，牛奶的用量適中，大大杯的更覺抵飲。另外加杯蜜糖穀殼乾果乳酪，軟滑得很，亦甚討好。

I had Arabiata pasta salad and chocolate fudge cake.something was rotten in the salad (I'm pretty sure it was the tomatoes), and cake was really soggy and I've got diarrhea after eating them..... it was gross and painful....I spat out the tomatoes right away, but i think it was bad....Cake was so soggy it felt like it was sitting there for more than 3 days...I had food from here before and it was good, but I guess I've chose the wrong dish yesterday...

20050902 9.30am買完咖啡, 過隔離買了1/2份玫瑰小龍蝦三文治, 點解仲寫? 寫過上萬次啦, 因為今次呢個汁水汪汪!!! 想點?!!!食o左咁多次呢次最唔得wor.cashier位外籍少女店員幾靚女又好禮貌好笑容.

在我做過寥寥無幾的幾份工之中, 有2份o係太古坊返工。呢間餐廳係我o係做到極fustrate時先會來坐坐, 搵返做野的意義。食過辣菠菜小龍蝦三文治, 燒牛肉三文治, 芒果燒雞三文治, 同埋煙生蕃。辣菠菜小龍蝦三文治: 小龍蝦好甜, 辣菠菜唔係我杯茶。夾起來覺得冇左辣菠菜會幾好。燒牛肉三文治: 幾dry, 但有汁補飛才不致難吃。芒果燒雞三文治: o係呢度芒果同燒雞幾match, 芒果三文治甜甜酸酸, 頗合女生胃口。煙生蕃:好basic但好好味! 蕃茄中和煙肉的油! 仲食過muffin同薯片, not bad 但印象模糊。
