先到的是位於花旗銀行大廈的Simplylife Foodplace，同層還有數所食肆，在這裡上班的人真幸福．simplylife名副其實的以簡約生活為主題，叫人想起同一路線的muji！
而這food place比cafe大，食物亦多樣化，有港式燒味亦有西式沙律，共處卻不覺兀突．也難怪，foodplace佔園甚廣，場內亦設梳化，高椅，茶枱，大可你有你食叉燒，我有我嘆咖啡． 
沙律可只選一款，貪心的亦可’曬冷’，總之師傅會幫你把碟子裝得滿滿的．那天我雖有點病，但看見顏色繽紛的沙律，胃口也頓開！
紅色代表有伴以basil醋汁的番茄，大肉茄茄肉偏稔但啖啖鮮甜，小茄帶酸但爽口勝胃，各勝擅場．對比的綠葉是充滿咬口的西蘭花，滲滿醬汁的細花一點不青澀．橙南瓜切成大塊，微脆表面和軟綿果肉成一對比，烤過更添撲鼻香氣．紫色亦有，說的是深色的紅菜頭－在各處留情（紅色果汁）的它總是最吸引眼球．爽口的大片菜頭黏著烤脆的松子，酸甜中帶果仁香，口感豐富非常．小碟盛載的彩虹，絕不會悶得你的味覺打呵欠．
口感豐富的還有蘑菇湯，以雞湯為基的滿是切碎雜菇，咬口豐盛．
從餅店拈來一件blueberry danish，雖已過了出爐時間，賣相亦吸引．
牛油酥皮是看得出的充滿層次，乾身酥脆；中芯以custard固定的藍莓和果醬亦見鮮甜．其製作之精細令人感到餅的personal touch，從小小一件danish可見bakery不是省油的燈．
以色彩繽紛的鮮甜水果杯結束充滿層次的午餐，令人驚嘆曾叫人搖頭嘆氣的food mall，亦可很精彩．
I usually grab a salad from Great at Pacific Place, but I find that although it has a more extensive variety of items, those available here are more substantial. I chose grilled veg, potatoes, pumpkins, as well as beetroot and pesto fusilli. I absolutely loved the potatoes, which were flavoured well with herbs and salt. The pumpkins were easily another favourite of mine, having just the right texture and sweetness, though were indeed a bit burnt round the edges… The pasta was also good, and I could tell the pesto was of decent quality (preferred over the one I tried at Kosmo in Central - review available). Unavoidably, they were a bit oily. As for the beetroot – I liked the fact they were in large cubes, but they got a bit boring. Most boring, however, were the roasted courgets – I felt they were a bit too hard, and lacked flavour.
The salmon, in paste form like tuna, was nice and savoury and was a great topping for pastry, but the slice of melted cheese on top tasted rather weak and annoyingly kept sticking to the inside of my mouth. 
There was a lot of hazelnut cream in the centre, and despite being really dense, such that it didn’t even dirty the paper wrapper it was in, it was still smooth and creamy. It also had an adequate hazelnut taste. The pastry itself was quite flaky, though of course, being a cold Danish, it had a weaker butter taste and a lesser crispiness than freshly baked ones. 
There was a white, really dense, filling in the centre, underneath the strawberries and cream, that was probably cheese. Though I personally prefer the whole filling to be creamy custard, or just cream, this was nevertheless an interesting variation, which worked well. The strawberries were also, thankfully, not sugar-water sweet, but natural. 
The portion size was larger than I expected, and it also came with a little pot of vanilla cream, but the latter would improve by being richer and maybe a bit sweeter. The pudding was not too sweet and had cinnamon taste, but I would have liked some pieces of actual bread immersed in it as well. The crunchy, burnt, crouton-like slices of bread at the top were good, and made it less boring.
