Zoe started out as a cute little pastry shop in Happy Valley, selling dainty nonbaked cheesecakes. Some decorated with a cute smile. It later expanded with more shops and cafes.As I live in this area, I would sometimes walk by the shop and buy one home. But then so many new pastry shops opened up. It detracted me so I forgot all about this little place. I think it's been a LONG LONG time since I had a Zoe cheesecake.A salesperson came to my work place, bringing a box of cakes from Zoe for us. A coworker also remarked ... wow, it's been a long time we've had a Zoe cake. Yup ... it has been a long time.This is the mango cheesecake. It was small. I remember it was small back then, too. But now placing it in my hand, I think it was even smaller than before. It also didn't have that same attention to detail like it once was. It was topped with balls of fresh mango that was fairly sweet. The cheesecake was disappointing, It tasted like a block of cream cheese, placed on top of a thin layer of cookie crumb crust. It was disappointing to say the least.When Zoe first started, there weren't that many independent pastry shops. But with so many sprouting up (most not even listed on Openrice), this was not good at all. There are far superior shops now. Zoe has fallen behind the times, Personally, I wouldn't think to order one again.

早几日喺跑马地名医院探完病，下午茶时间刚好行经「Zoë Pâtisserie et Chocolat」饼店门口，肚里面o既为食虫迅即作动 ，结果当然系忍唔住买咗几件返屋企食啦！「Zoë」分店大多集中于港岛区，小肥共去过湾仔、中环及跑马地三间店舖，当中以跑马地依间最为细小，肥肥家族一家四口入到去，室内活动空间可以话系近乎零 。入面o既女店员主动上前招呼，介绍热门及新推出o既多款产品，临走前更送上试食饼干两块，当真欣勤好客 。Zoë：以店名起名o既Zoë蛋糕乃镇店之宝，亦系妈咪最喜爱糕点之一。可能因为期望过高，第一口食落去已教人失望万分，皆因底部o既朱古力已不再脆口，糕面o既榛子忌廉冻而干，更内藏薄冰块，感觉就好似食紧隔夜蛋糕咁 ，劲唔爽！Blueberry Cheesecake：蓝梅芝士蛋糕o既蓝梅果酱面层还好仍湿润，但中间o既芝士蛋糕不但同Zoë蛋糕一样干，质感更已开始变得硬同实，就连容忍度极高o既哥哥都食到摇哂头 ！Japanese Yuzu with Cherry Blossom：五件西饼中以此味樱花柚子蛋糕最为出色 ，其糕身软滑，虽然温度仍属偏冻，但主材柚子带微酸o既甜味非常讨好，清新醒胃。Mud Cake：妈咪大弹蛋糕又干又硬又冻，好明显并非即日制作而成 ，如果蛋糕真系即日造o既话就更加有必要去检讨！Truffle Tart：虽说朱古力挞用上黑朱古力烹煮，但味道却甜似牛奶朱古力所造，而且入内绝无姐姐所讲o既脆脆馅料，似乎有啲货不对办啰 ！记得以前亲友一提到「Zoë」西饼，大家都会赞赏店子o既糕点新鲜轻巧美味，价钱虽然系贵啲，但都值得不时买黎奖励吓自己。唔知系咪因为饼舖发大咗黎做呢？蛋糕质素已大不如前，watt数大跌至谷底，绝对唔值$40一件 ！

It was mother’s day, and it is definitely the best excuse to indulge in dessert cakes. So upon visiting the shop, I ended up with a popular one, a signature one and a conventional one at $38/pieceVanilla cheesecakeA vanilla scented cheese cake with sponge cake at the bottom. The cheesecake cake is extremely soft and fluffy, and literally melts in the mouth. It does not have the strong and rich cheesy flavour of the conventional New York cheese cake, but instead, has a mild buttery aroma. The sponge cake base is equally light and soft with a rich eggy flavour. Both the cheesecake and the sponge cake layer are mildly sweetened to bring out their own flavours.Double deckerA multi-layered cake with different intervals of sponge cake, flavoured whipped cream, chocolate ganache. Simply the look of this cake suggests its high level of sweetness and richness. The whole cake consists of 6 layers, with 2 layers of sponge cake, 2 layers of hazelnut whipped cream, 1 layer of chocolate whipped cream and chocolate ganache on top. The sponge cake and the hazelnut whipped cream provides a great aroma of the hazelnut flavour, which forms a great chemistry with the dark chocolate whipped cream. The sweet chocolate ganache on top, with a glossy and devilish appearance, melts in the mouth and provides the sweetness for the whole cake. The rich chocolate flavour of this double decker reminds me greatly of rocher Ferrero and the combination of heavy cream and chocolate makes the cake rather filling.Zoe'sA layered cake with sponge cake and a chocolate crunch bottom, topped with hazelnut flavoured whipped cream. The cream had a light texture and is lightly sweetened with a pleasing hazelnut flavour, which combines well together with the rich aroma of the milkfat. The sponge cake is again, soft and mildly sweetened, and had a rich eggy taste. The best part of the cake is the bottom crunch part: chocolate crunch with cream. The chocolate crunch brings out the hazelnut flavour of the cream, and provides a more complex texture to the cake. The final verdict:The cakes at Zoe’s are generally mildly sweet, and is suitable for people who dislike strong and extremely sweet desserts (like me). Undoubtedly, they have a considerable amount of sugar and fat in all those whipped cream and cheese, however, its great taste and rich flavours make its calories’ worth. Nonetheless, at a price of $38, their portions are rather small, but I guess pricing is a way to limit your guilty indulgences.

某天生日都系返工，同事请我吃午饭。午饭完依然照样返工，突然收到一份好特别既礼物，"NN" 就系 Zoe 的朱古力慕思蛋糕 。见到个袋，就知道系名牌！不过我咬野GOR，不系睇名牌，最重要系味道，更名牌也没用，最重要是好吃。个蛋糕正正方方，颜色配答很靓，面上四边是用金色慕思粉，中间有波浪花纹朱古力，整个蛋糕看下去已经很高级。同事们急不及待叫人唱生日歌，更快快叫我切，我便赶快切一下之后，她们很快便分好了。朱古力慕思质地柔软，而啲味道刚刚好，唔会太甜又唔会太苦，个底有少少似海绵蛋糕，正体感觉好似丝咁柔软，入口顺滑。虽然本人对蛋糕呢D甜品一般，但我都俾个LIKE佢。特别要多谢个买蛋糕同事，在老远买番来的牛一的好蛋糕回来！特此感谢！

六月上旬‧晴雪怡生日，当然要大伙儿出来贺贺佢。由好友负责在这里买了拿破仑饼，开心吹蜡烛。酥皮几松化也带脆口，但吉士馅略嫌多了一点，吃起来也过甜。不知不觉原来跟大家识了多年，在此再一次对雪怡就声生日快乐，心想事成！
