Le Gouter Bernardaud (已結業)

被鋪天蓋地的書和notes壓得喘不過氣來，不如這個下午給自己放個小假，去享受一餐優雅恬靜的high tea? 對于食，向來不給自己猶豫的機會，心里想著，腳就已經邁出房門了約了同樣愛甜的朋友來到熟悉的Elements覓食，見到LGB有tea set for 1 $160，本身就被其精致的macarons吸引，價錢又可以接受，就揾位坐低啦。單人tea set都有不少款可以揀，包括柜臺陳列的cake or tart x1，macarons x2, 小籃子里的mini cake for x1，scone x1，此外還有我本身不太關注的咸點x3。至于飲品只有一份，我揀了Latte，朋友就在我的強烈推薦下散點了Hot dark choc $45。Raspberry tart, 賣相十分精致，除了出面有金箔做襯，下部更點綴了很多金燦燦閃爍的金粉。出面的紅莓很酸卻清爽新鮮，倒是下面果膠質的紅莓凍叫人有少許失望，雖然味道香醇，但嫌魚膠粉落得太多了。撻底亦做得酥化，充滿牛油香。macarons (coco, passion choc), 朋友更鐘意椰味香濃的coco，但我覺得有點過于“奶”了；反而清新酸甜

男友送我一合macaroon, 味道好之餘packing亦grand, 好喜歡它的合小上面的ribbon, 合子的texture好過癮, 一合十件其實幾貴, 不過味道搭夠, 就不打緊! 多謝

5 of us had tea in Elements and consider LGB as decent, mainly attracted by the high-tea set displayed, yet later find out if was a a little pricy, thus go for the single's tea set (which originally claimed only available on weekdays, so we got it as bonus)the scone sets were hard, but on top of butter and jam, we asked for cream, expecting clotted cream, we were served with fresh cream. anyway. the cakes and tarts were tiny. the lemon sponge with chocolate filling were not surprising nor partic

看到以藍和啡作間色的椅子整齊地排列着，再看到櫃窗前擺放着色彩斑爛的Macaroon，不用猜也可以知道這所正是以法式小杏仁餅作賣點的甜品店-- Le Gouter。位於Elements的Le Gouter，不是單純銷售甜點的小店，看看豎立在門前的是日推介，原來還提供晚餐的服務，當然價錢不算平宜了，一個指定菜式的晚餐，要$198／位。對Macaroon依然有所忌諱，它們的樣子的確很誘人，尤其是作大蛋糕的小飾物，它擔當起劃龍點睛的功效。可惜它太豪爽了，它的甜言蜜語實在令人吃不消，甚至有點膩呢！因此我們只隔着玻璃遠遠地欣賞着，沒有勇氣接近它們。看看那些樣貌出眾的小甜點還吸引呢，於是我們為了節省堂食的額外服務費，在蛋糕櫃前揀選了兩件作為飯後甜點。（左）Rapsberry Tart $30：賣相很吸引，灑上金粉的紅莓蓉質感結實，卻不是啫喱，莓香卻不算濃郁，甜中帶少許果酸，配上香脆撻皮，味道不錯，略嫌白朱古力的裝飾過甜了。（右）Lemon Tart $30：樣子可愛嬌人。吉士吃起來可嚐到濃郁撲鼻的檸檬香，味道清新自然，酸的程度和撻皮的甜味也恰到好處，兩者互相揮映，牛油味不太重的撻皮是令人蠻驚喜的；香
