It was my first time to visit this covet Starbucks in Mong kok. On the second floor of an old building midst a busy Friday afternoon of Mong kok, this Starbucks is decorated in the style of old Hong Kong. The floors are old-fashioned tiles, the walls are decorated with chinese writing and drawings. There are around 40 seats available, ranging from wooden vinyl chairs to 4 seated booths. It is quite suitable for a small group to meet for tea.
This Starbucks is quite different from others in terms of the food you can order. There are red bean pineapple buns, brownies, cookies, meat pies, etc. Desserts are quite varied as well. Prices range from $15-$30.
I ordered the vegetable pie which is around $19. I waited for around 5 minutes for the pie to be heated but it turned out slightly burnt.
I forked into the pie without adding the ketcup at first. The pastry was parched and did not have the buttery scent that pastries should have. Instead, it was rather oily. The filling inside was as boring as the pastry. The broccoli, tomato and cheese were underseasoned. There wasn't any flavours to bind together.
Then I tried adding the ketchup, which added some flavour to the pie. Sadly, it still didn't make the pie taste better.
It is a nice setting so I'd like to come back again. Hopefully other foods are better than this pie!
題外話/補充資料:
I went there again in December to try the Christmas special drink (I think it was hazelnut latte). I ordered the small which was around $29. The first few sips were quite nice as it was still hot. But as the latte became warm, the excessive amount of sugar became apparent. I couldn't finish the drink as it was far too sweet...
星期五下班之後趕去交收,拿著一堆東西想找個地方休息一下,在旺角一個人不想去樓上Cafe,但又突然想喝杯咖啡,就想起了這家裝修特別的Starbucks了。因為以前有同學在Starbucks上班的關係,其實喝過好幾杯免費的Starbucks咖啡,所以某程度上我已經對Starbucks的咖啡上癮了XDIced Mocha Frappuccino(Venti, $40)這杯Frappuccino超多Cream的背後有個無聊小故事XD話說我就站在取餐處一邊站著放空一邊看著咖啡師在加Cream和糖漿,然後當我看到那位咖啡師失手把糖漿擠偏一邊的瞬間,我醒過來看著咖啡師,而剛好咖啡師也呆了一呆然後抬頭看著我...然後我和他尷尬地對視笑了好一陣子XDDDDD咖啡師只好再加Cream在上面然後重新加糖漿XDDDDD把這杯Frappuccino交給我的時候還一直在笑XDDDDD無聊小故事完結,這杯Iced Mocha Frappuccino的巧克力味很重但不會死甜,那天的咖啡底不錯,喝完很久口裏面還是有烘焙咖啡豆的香醇,整體不錯。Egg Benedict Pie ($24)當晚剩下最後一個的Egg Bene
