Mixing Bowl 剛開始的時候是以舉辦烘焙課程為主，例如macarons、tarts、西式麵包、cinnamon buns或puffs等等。後來還開了Mixing Bowl Cafe，當然也是位於soho區。聽閒有好咖啡喝，我便找了一個星期六和DZ來。Cafe位於善慶街，即勝香園前一個小街口轉左行上樓梯。店子的面積比想像中大，一邊牆有寫上menu的大版子。Mixing Bowl Cafe提供的都是輕食，應該大部份都是在收銀部旁的小型開放式廚房準備。食物的選擇也不是太多，例如有Muesli Bowl、Porridge、Eggs and Toasts、Pancakes及大家都很喜愛的scones。Originally, Mixing Bowl was about holding baking classes such as macarons, tarts, bread, cinnamon buns or puff etc. Mixing Bowl Cafe came to the scene later, situated in the soho area.

Originally, Mixing Bowl was about holding baking classes such as macarons, tarts, bread, cinnamon buns or puff etc. Mixing Bowl Cafe came to the scene later, situated in the soho area. I heard the Cafe serves great coffee, so DZ and I decided to try.
Mixing Bowl Cafe is at Shin Hing Street. When you see the famed Sing Heung Yuen, just keep walking and turn left and climb up the stairs. The Cafe was bigger than I expected. You can find a huge blackboard menu on a side of the wall. Here light brunch options are served and I think most of them are prepared in the little open kitchen right next to the cashier. The food options are quite limited including Muesli Bowl, Porridge, Eggs and Toasts, Pancakes and the popular scones.
Cappuccino ($36) - 二話不說的先來一杯cappuccino，很喜歡這副白色的茶杯及碟，非常簡單的感覺。這杯咖啡很夠熱度，亦十分順滑。Cappuccino ($36) - Cappuccino again for me, of course. I really like this set of white cup and saucer, because it looked so simple. The coffee was hot and silky smooth.
DZ點的不知道是Ristretto什麼咖啡，哈，抱歉我真的對咖啡沒有太大的研究。。Not sure what DZ had ordered, some Ristretto coffee? I really know nothing about coffee...
Pulled Pork Sandwich ($75) - DZ點了一份pulled pork sandwich，等了很久才上桌。落單的時候已指明麵包要烘底，但女店員卻忘了，而且還對著軟綿綿的麵包說已經烘了。。。！後來應該是其中一位老外老闆見到我們的詢問後便叫女店員把麵包拿去烘好。。。但也真夠讓人傻眼。忘了便忘了吧，為什麼要硬說已烘呢。Pulled Pork Sandwich ($75) - DZ ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which took quite a while to arrive at our table. We specifically requested for the bread to be toasted but the female staff forgot and claimed that it was toasted while the bread didn't look toasted at all... Then one of the owners (I suppose) looked at the sandwich and instructed the female staff to get the sandwich well-toasted... I don't mind staff forgetting our request but it's not okay to try to lie and cover up.
是一份很簡單的三文治，menu上說豬肉是店方自己醃及慢煮，而麵包當然是店方焗的。我沒有吃到豬肉，而嘗了一口麵包，烘好的麵包通常都不錯的。DZ對那pulled pork沒什麼意見，也沒什麼讚嘆，我估是味道正常，一般的三文治。不過份量還不少，吃完一定會感到飽足。It's a very simple sandwich, the menu said the pork was slow-cooked with homemade marinade, and the bread was of course from the Cafe itself. I didn't try the pork but did take a bite of the toast, which was good and toasted well. DZ didn't say much about the pulled pork, neither did she praise it. I guess this meant the sandwich was okay. The portion was quite large though.
Avocado Toast ($75) - 我點的是牛油果多士，很典型的早午餐食品。與pulled pork sandwich相同的在一旁放了些沙律。在亦是店方焗的麵包上有一層很厚的牛油果蓉，數粒車厘茄及流心蛋。麵包很新鮮。最天然的材料，當然也造就了最簡單最單純的味道。麵包厚度十足，烘好後只是微暖，不過頗有麵包味。新鮮的牛油果蓉塗在麵包上不錯， 而流心蛋的蛋漿和牛油果一起很配，令整份多士變得好吃不少。不過麵包牛油果雞蛋加在一起味道吃起來有點兒單調，一個人要把整份toast吃掉可能會覺得有點悶，兩個人分享會比較好。另外車厘茄放多幾顆真的有那麼難嗎。Avocado Toast ($75) - I ordered the Avocado Toast, a classic/typical brunch item. Same as the pulled pork sandwich there was mixed leaf salad next to the toast. On top of the house-made toast sat a thick layer of mashed avocado, few pieces of roasted vine tomatoes and a poached egg. The bread was fresh. Well, every component of the toast was natural and basic, contributing to the simplest taste. The toast was thick but was only slightly warm after toasting. The fresh mashed avocado went well on the toast and the whole thing was definitely enhanced by the runny yolk of the egg. That said, I kind of think that the combination of bread + avocado + egg did become a bit boring as I ate them since the portion was quite large. Probably better to share with your friend. Oh, also, was it really very difficult for them to just give a few more vine tomatoes??
餐牌上寫著有2隻蛋的為什麼只給了我一隻？？Why I only got one egg when the menu said there should be two??
簡單沒花巧的早午餐食品不會有什麼驚喜，比較適合有點趕時間及希望吃點健康食物的人 (雖然pulled pork其實沒有健康得那裡去)。或者只來喝杯咖啡也不錯。吃完沒有壞印象，但也沒有要再來的感覺，究竟這裡少了些什麼令人回頭的完素呢。Nothing too amazing nor too surprising for a simple brunch. Those who strive for a healthy or clean eating would probably like it here (well, although pulled pork cannot be regarded as healthy...). Or, just come here for the coffee. I don't dislike Mixing Bowl Cafe, just that I don't feel the urge to come here again. What's missing?
