Duke's Deli (已結業)

今日中午和同事去蓮香飲茶，食到好飽，到三點幾又每人叫咗個下午茶餐外送，飽到晚上都唔係好想食飯。放工後經過 Duke's Deli, 見有個朱古力嘅物體，叫 Frou Frou Cake ($28), 賣相好似幾靚，一於買呢件蛋糕夜晚做宵夜。美心喺情人節嗰排都出過一款 Frou Frou Cake, 中文名叫「特濃朱古力脆米蛋糕」, 又睇吓呢件cake 嘅朱古力係咪特濃先。晚飯後同亞仔兩個朱古力怪又出動，齊齊瓜分件cake. 呢件蛋糕外觀非常美麗，表面好光滑，令蠟蠟，好似迷你版嘅帝苑 chocolate truffle, 當然價錢就有天淵之別啦。我地用刀把蛋糕切開，發現外層是用朱古力漿包住內裏嘅朱古力 mousse, 用叉子把蛋糕一小塊、一小塊的放入口中，唔！濃郁嘅朱古力味在口中不斷迴盪，蛋糕頂嘅棉花糖同小菓子中和番個甜味，雖然唔係好似帝苑件 cake 咁，用蛋糕及 mousse 幾層相間，但食起嚟一啲都唔“漏”， 依家回想起來仍然好想再吃多次呢！

不知道是第幾次光顧了次次都係吃salad bar可能正值午飯前, 好多野都未READY...得好少CHOICE...是日吃了PUMPKIN POTATO, 這個只係用南瓜醬黎煮係一D南瓜都冇的.... 其實食物味道是不過不失的但我認為食物質素和價錢係唔成正比的另外我都唔會太concern個服務, 因為是自助, 我唔expect佢會有好好的服務囉!再光顧還是會的, 但應該唔會係特登去

是日午餐, order 如下hilly cheese steak (beef) - 失望. d 牛肉好肥, 芝士亦唔夠多, 唔夠香濃, 有 d 貨不對相.sausage pizza - 整體味道都 ok, 但唔太突出. 唔值得專登來試.overall,staff 有禮貌, 笑容滿面!有 d 覺得 overrated. 食物一般, 頂多可以用"不錯"來形容.店內非常熱!!!! 入到 counter 都有 d 風, 門口座位就非常熱! 難怪佢地都將自己定位為速食店.不太吸引, 普普通通.

九月廿四‧晴 也是另一個忙到飛起的早上，吃飯也只能怱怱的買點東西填肚子，見這裡終於開張了，賣的又是三文治、熱狗及漢堡包等等的速食，就來試一試。 眼看在午市人多的時候，人客是行來行去，不知在那裡排隊落柯打，也不知在那兒付賬，付了賬又不知在那兒等候，是有點亂的，可能是新張的關係吧。 要了羊肉Pita Bread，拿著邊行邊吃。荷包是烘得熱熱的，羊肉片卻煎得太熟了，吃起來有點韌，尤以帶肥脂的部份而言，幾近咬不下的，下次再吃要招呼一下才行。生菜絲全埋在大後方，吃至後期也只像在吃菜夾餅。醬汁也偏少了一點，是有點「淡口」。 埋單38蚊，不便宜的，希望遲些會做得更好。 題外話：竟然在這裡巧遇OR食友，世界真細小。

佢生日後幾日，終於食返星期日關門既Duke's Deli.....下晝時間去，都知冇French' Toast Ga la@@"所以叫左煙肉芝士焗通粉@@"熱就OK熱既，之但係太硬啦><"而且Cheese都太重，導致Bacon無用武之地@@"其實我應該早少少買我的最愛>.<"

平安夜放半晝...事前並無通知...so SURPRISE!!!!!! 搭車返屋企, 行過duke's deli...一於比次機會佢!其實一開門已經想試但係d 野都几貴, 同埋始終唔係咁0岩我口味...今次揀左pepperoni pizza 做我既x'mas eve 午餐...塊pizza 好大塊...同埋佢會幫你re-heat...其實re-heat 都等左頗耐... (定係我歸心似箭????)但係一拎過塊pizza 上手, 你就知道等几耐都值得!re-heat 完, 佢地仲幫我搵紙碟同埋錫紙包好...拎去搭車, 等埋車, 上到車先食...塊pizza 仲係熱到識出煙...BRAVO!!!新鮮熱辣既野好難唔好食...不過pepperoni 好多油啊...嘻...咁當然, 揀得pizza 做午餐都唔介意肥一d d 啦...正正正!!!!一定要搵機會試下其他pizza...

返工做嘢途中見到佢，決定試吓咩叫NY Style...叫咗最recommend Hot sandiwches - Philly Cheese Steak，$68-，同2支sparkling juice，中環區算係咁上下，已經叫平過威靈頓街嗰啲burger shop. 好味呀！薄牛肉+芝士+洋蔥絲+青椒粒等一齊煎過先放入個烘好bagel入面，啲芝士不但只融晒落啲牛肉度，仲融晒落個包度...um.. YUMMY!! 不過，唔知個包實在係大，一個女仔...食唔晒，下次要同人share先。店內不只有飲品薯片，還有cut cakes, 各款cheese，仲有Pizza，下次有機會去試吓，幾十蚊有一件，都算ok。仲有自助形式salad bar，$15/100g，仲有soup揀。總算見識過咩係NY Style，同香港快餐差唔多啫，不過係再肥啲！！

去完銀行辦事, 後要食返個lunch, 既然旁邊有個與此段德輔道中格格不入的大美帝國Take Away. yxxoo介紹過, OR介紹過, 亦是Duke's burger 的分店. 看見這裡地方光猛乾淨, 等同外國的Deli shop, 係英國的Supermarket 內見識過.外面有一"兜兜"的咖哩, 肉丸, 肉醬等的西式兩餸飯/意粉. 另一個counter 是一些over $50的 Pasta. 我看中的, 是 20多元的Pizza.裡面幾塊不同饀料既Pizza可供食客選擇, 自己則覺得, Plain Pizza, 最能顯出做批者的功力. 落了order, 外籍小姐切出Pizza, 再交由外籍廚仔放入焗爐返熱 (fair enought, 好過係個counter爐焗乾, or 丁丁熱).店內, 只有一個企位, 打開外賣包, 拿出軟綿綿的薄批, 因為太薄, 想拿起整塊食, 實在在點難度, 只好對摺, 有返少少厚度, 成功整塊拿起.唔會有太多芝士味, 番茄味冇定企, 亦唔會番茄味多得黎, 芝士味又唔爭氣. 啱味啱哂你!今個12月, 個個星期有不同Promotion, 今個星期送薯片一小

Having lived in NY and Philly, I really liked the concept of having a NY deli since there aren't that many alternatives in town aside from Main St Deli. And to do this well is admittedly difficult especially for those of us who would compare this to their NY favorites. But it is by this high standard that I judge Duke's Deli and they are quite far behind. Admittedly, I have only tried their Philly cheese steak but I suspect the other food might be similar.Here is what I thought of the cheese

i was overwhelmed by the selection when i first walked in, everything looked good (maybe cos i was starving) and i couldn't decide on a pizza or a sandwich, when i saw a batch of meatball heroes come out from the kitchen i had to have it. i was disappointed - the meatballs were dry and hard, the tomato sauce helped a little but because they were quite big the middle was still really dry. for almost $70 i would've expected more. The meat also tasted a bit funny.my friend had a selection of salad

I bought a Mushroom Calzone here for lunch today. It reminds me of those days in college when I chowed down a Calzone in class or in a library. Very heartwarming indeed. There are all sorts of other comfort food as well - philly cheesesteak, lasagnas, mac&cheese, eggplant parmesans, NY cheesecake, etc. Prices are not cheap there but thisplace could definitely satisfy my cravingsfor deli style food (or greasy spoon to some!).

因之前喺友人嘅blog見到佢寫呢間,成日都想搵日嚟,nov 15, 08突然間諗起佢,叫咗 : 1) 西蘭花slice pizza-除咗西蘭花之外,仲有淨芝士,意大利肉腸,磨菇等-揀咗西蘭花喺貪佢特別同顏色搶眼-1片都幾大塊架-原來佢會用鍚紙包成咁-買完我無理咁多.............即場拆開咬啖先...........向麵包邊位進發-喺薄嘅style,但又未至於好似餅乾咁,但尚好還有小脆-食到番茄醬嘅酸味,芝士都帶d煙韌-雖唔喺好好食嗰種,但以外賣式嚟計...........算食得過- 除咗有pizza賣,仲有calzone,cake啦,沙律bar啦,同1個snack&drink嘅小型超市 - 呢度全部預你take away

剛剛辨完passport手續,眼見對面就是Duke's Deli,上次看飲食男女介紹此鋪被相片的法式多士深深吸引,想也不想便衝過對面了一進店,的確花多眼亂,有十多種熟食,十多種凍食,數種pizza,包類Calzone和無數甜品等,黑板上的menu則沒考究過心大心細一會兒後,還是從最基本的熟食先出發,自助形式的自己夾,夾了一堆飯,魚,雞翼和茄子,亦被甜品吸引着,最後選了我從未試過的cupcake食物早已經被夾得面貌朦糊,入盒後更難分出是什麼材料因為是外賣,要自己找地點吃,我吃的時候已經不熱了雞翼是炸的,吃也未吃皮已經脫下,味道也不太好,感覺很油膩茄子飯也可能因為已經凍了,感覺非常像茶餐廳,而魚柳是以白汁煮的,夾的時間把汁一併帶來,無意地撈渾全盒飯.而白汁亦煮得非常出色,非常香滑,最後乾脆來盒白汁撈飯,感覺一流飯後甜品是剛才選的chocolate cupcake第一口感覺是甜,越吃越甜,慘敗,我期望以久既cupcake絕對唔應該咁甜!!!磅飯盒計錢是71$,原價15$磅我絕定肯定我夾的是正常份量,71元肯定不值雖然是很貴,但其它食物依然想試一下..主打的20"pizza大大塊,賣相卻不太吸

老遠由中環區行到上環, 幸好天氣轉涼, 否則應該沒有恒心走這段路。 近期的報紙雜誌都有介紹這間新開的西式外賣店, 好奇心驅使下一試一進店就是甜品櫃, 很是吸引, 不過甜品還是與人分享比較好吃, 自己一個吃總是欠些甚麼的, 所以留待下次吧!又見有pizza, baked pasta, 左想右想後還是要hot sandwich今次要了 ~~~ meatball hero~~~一條hero內放了4粒大大的meatball, 其實已是一早預備好的, 放進hero 麵包裡再去焗一會, 所以包身脆脆硬硬, 不錯但meatball 我卻認為太實了, 有點太乾, 你也可以說是油分較少的又厚又大的包+肉粒, 根本不能一啖一口地吃, 分開吃卻嘗不到真正的味道, 可惜一條長包一個女仔吃也真費力, 不過我最後都完成了這個sandwich 大概$70, 還可以啦, 不過我下次要是再光顧的話應該都會是為甜品而去呢, 畢竟看到那些cake也很想試試

Thought it's sister joint with Duke's burger, this deli's selling quick bites for take-away cliente. To satisfy my little's sweet tooth, recommended to try its apple crunch cheese cake, was also recommended its coffee cheese cake but me personally prefer a fresh company to the already filling cheese cake.The crunches on top added a taint of sweetness, the cheese cake's like the usual NY's cheese cake one may expect, would be more delightful if more apple bits were added, surely would be much bet
