Vanilla (Closed)

I haven't been here for a while so decided to get something sweet.Tried the strawberry mille feuille which was filled with strawberry slices and vanilla custard.It was nice but I found the vanilla custard too buttery and the mille feuille was too sweet as a whole.

28.12.2013尋尋覓覓, 原來這間小店的位置, 正是我曾到訪過某地方的附近, 只是我當時沒有察覺而已.到達小店, 已經是晚上六時半, 沒有其他客人, 於是我便可以跟店員閒聊. 不知吃哪一款甜點才好, 店員便推介這款Lemon Tart.結果是一試難忘! 撻內的檸檬餡料有超強的檸檬香味, 芳香而清新, 口感順滑, 甜度恰當. 餅底富有牛油味, 可是質地不夠脆口, 很硬實, 要花點力去咬開. 但整體上, 真的令人回味無窮.一邊吃著Lemon Tart, 一邊看著街外. 往事如煙, 如果兩年多前我已經察覺這間小店, 不知又會如何呢?

沿著扶手電梯一直往上走，越走越高，人越來越少，四周漸漸變得寧靜，感覺遠離煩囂。短短的摩羅廟街，可以看到大大的Vanilla門牌。推門而入，紅白的牆很sharp，很搶眼。除了蛋糕外，還有三文治，quiche和沙律。牆上的木架，排了一瓶瓶的果醬。沒有想像中的西式甜品店的雅緻，卻有種外國小鎮的地道和樸素感。仔細看看甜品櫃，沒有花巧的款式，都是一切從簡，最原始的蛋糕，賣的都是基本功。左想右想，選了兩件，都是店員推介最受歡迎的。Black forest雖然是鎮店之寶，賣相也不錯，但有點猶疑。黑森林蛋糕從來都不是我的最愛。沒有朱古力味的海綿蛋糕，加上甜溜溜的黑加崙子果醬，印象麻麻。但既然店員推介，就儘管一試，試下好吃的黑森林蛋糕是怎樣的。頂層放了一片片刨得薄薄的朱古力。兩層海綿蛋糕夾著忌廉和大大粒的車厘子。海綿蛋糕少少濕潤，朱古力味未算濃，和打得輕盈又不甜的忌廉及車厘子一起吃，濕潤度就變得剛好。沒有令我對黑森林蛋糕改觀，但比一般的black forest好食。Chocolate truffle，簡單卻討好的賣相。朱古力很濃郁，而且很滑，一口很rich的朱古力，很滿足。甜度還好，可以再苦一點就更出色

店子雖然在半山，地點有點不起眼，行左一陣至搵到。不過不枉今次專程走上來，Chocolate Fudge Cake 太好味啦，仲見到有 Fish Pie 同 Lemon tart, 下次要試埋佢吖~

Apart from Shortbread Teas, this is another one of my favourite places for British fare.In the savoury selection, they have Shepherds pie, lasagne, moussaka and fish pie.They also have a great selection of affordable rolls.There are also delicious cakes which I have previously reviewed.This time I had Shepherds pie.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Shepherds pie:It was huge portion with lots of minced lamb and mashed potato on top.The mince was a bit chewy but I loved the rich sauce and chunky pieces of carrot

The black forest cake I had last time was amazing so went back for more.This time I had a savoury tart too and I still have to come back for pies and quiches.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Black forest caken my last review, I forgot to show how many whole cherries it had in the middle, so this visit, I have taken the top part of the cake off.As you can see, there are nine plump cherries in the middle and one on the top, so thats 10.In between the cherries, there was gorgeous whipped cream.As well as tha

Found out about this bakery because I was at a restaurant nearby.It would be hard discovering this bakery on openrice because there were not many recent reviews even though this place has been here for YEARS!!They had a good selection of British pies, quiches and cakes.The one that caught my eye was the blackforest cake.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Blackforest cake:After removing the plastic sheet that was around the cake, I knew I made the right choice choosing it!As well as the cherry on top, you co

四月上旬‧陰天很久沒來過這間小店子了，因為工作，又來一趟。天氣炎熱，想吃點鹹食，就來一片蕃茄洋蔥撻。撻底酥脆鬆化，焗過的洋蔥增添香味之餘，蕃茄的酸酸甜甜味道也好吃。最好的還是加入了芥末，畫龍點睛。不知何時才可要來了。

上星期適逢兩位朋友生日，到訂購兩個生日蛋糕，分別有檸檬芝士及朱古力咖啡。先講檸檬芝士，濃濃嘅芝士加埋少少酸嘅檸檬味，感覺很新鮮，亦沒有一般芝士蛋糕那麼單調。而咖啡朱古力，食一口，濃濃既朱古力同咖啡味道，已充斥整個口腔，再加上脆脆嘅餅底，簡直令人愛不惜手，吃過不停。以往為朋友慶祝生日，大多數都會剩下很多蛋糕，但這次從 Vanilla 訂來既兩個蛋糕，竟然一件不漏，全部比我哋食清光

因上openrice 見到它的網評唔錯，所以好想試一試Lemon Cheesecake。沿著中環長電梯去到摩羅廟街一段向右邊望，好容易會找到它的，其實已經係第二次光顧了。 Lemon Cheesecake 濃濃的芝士味+ 清香的檸檬完全唔覺膩，而且芝士好滑，餅底好味，真係值得一試! Lemon Meringue Chocolate Truffle 又濃又滑的朱古力不會太甜 Chocolate Espresso Chocolate Fudge Blueburry Cheesecake

這裡的blueberry tart 一向是我的至愛，今天sold out 了！看了一會，決定試下呢apple custard。個撻皮好鬆呀，custard又fresh又唔太甜，蘋果仲係爽咖！正正正！

找左非常耐，終於俾我來到這裡，今天沒興趣食蛋糕，就試下千層麵喇。買了南瓜菠菜千層麵，五十五蚊。店裡還有三文治、乳酪同焗薯批等食物，但都非常大份。店員態度非常差，好像想趕你走o甘。千層麵烤得剛剛好，菠菜唔夠多，好飽，因為食極都係大大舊的南瓜。芝士多得過龍，不過著實非常十分好吃的南瓜味道足以令呢個千層麵抵食呀。這個午餐對我來說算是印象深刻，但應該唔會再來試其他出品。

與友人吃完麵後散步到這裡，店內沒有其他客人，可以慢慢揀餅。其實個餅櫃內的餅款式不算多，我們要左Lemon Tart 及Chocolate Truffle，本來想叫Coffee的，但見到他們的咖啡設備後便打消念頭了。我們坐在面向街的吧檯，全店只有我們兩人，所以很幽靜，一路享受甜品之餘，還可從玻璃窗中見到工場內他們工作的情況，感覺都幾得意。Lemon Tart：味道清新簡單，很香檸檬味，份量亦剛剛好，唯獨是Tart底較厚及"淋"，未能一口便咬開及未夠脆口。Chocolate Truffle：很香滑，朱古力味濃，鍾意佢不會太甜，朱古力Sponge底夠簡單直接；但本人認為裝飾如配Raspberry會更咖好。這店的西餅款式簡單，不會太花巧，味道亦很大路，不會很突出，亦不會難接受，如有時間都會再來試試其他西餅的。

Perhaps my expectations were too high but....Apple crumble, I am utterly disappointed in you. ***We arrived for tea. Peered into the cake fridge and spotted a light apple crumble/tart. I picked that because I'd just had a filling lunch and couldn't shove down the chocolate-themed cakes. People have recommended the chocolate truffle cake - I might try that next time. Service:So I order the Apple Crumble ($18), and politely asked the shop assistant to REHEAT the crumble for me in the oven. She bla
