I had lunch with my friends at this restaurant. They managed to accommodate us (about 15 people) right when the restaurant opened at noon. My boyfriend and I shared a 1) ham and cheese crispy pocket, 2) banana and caramel bread, 3) l'exotique (white chocolate and passion fruit cake), and 4) cheesecake. 1) Ham and cheese crispy pocket (72HKD)-Basically ham and cheese in wonton. I thought the restaurant was supposed to be fresh, not asian. It did not say on the menu, nor seem like in the photo tha
1) Ham and cheese crispy pocket (72HKD)-Basically ham and cheese in wonton. I thought the restaurant was supposed to be fresh, not asian. It did not say on the menu, nor seem like in the photo that it was wonton. Very overpriced for just two small slices of wonton wrapped around ham and cheese.
2) Banana and caramel bread (20HKD)-Square sponge bread. Unlike the typical, the banana was not blended into the bread, but it was just stuck inside the middle. Disappointed that there wasn't much caramel/caramel flavour...not even a tint.
3) L'exotique (35HKD)-Way too sweet and the passion fruit flavouring too strong. No white chocolate flavour. Only good thing was that the bread was very soft and the white outer part is very moist and wet. My friend and her boyfriend also shared one and they couldn't even finish it.
4) Cheesecake (35HKD)-Looking at the picture, I knew their cheesecake wouldn't be good (well, I prefer a digestive biscuit bottom and softer smooth cake), but my boyfriend wanted it. The bottom was just a thin sponge layer and the top part of the cake was firm and was not smooth.
Service was OK, but could have been better. The waitress took away my plate and my boyfriend's plate to put down a plate of pastries that some of us had ordered. I tried to call the waitress but after not getting a response in a minute, I gave up and my boyfriend and I ended up eating on the one plate that our crispy pockets were served on. It was inconvenient that they just put all our pastries on one dish because we had to ask who ordered what. Also, my friend was only served a cup, but no green tea. We later realized that my other friend, who ordered earl grey, had her green tea once he took a sip of it after already putting milk in it, which he described as disgusting. Although the tea was refillable, there seemed to be nothing special about them and definitely was not worth the 40 or so HKD that it costs.
The atmosphere was very nice, but for the same price I would rather eat cake somewhere else or get together with friends at a place that is actually good, not just famous for their name.
