Le Pain Quotidien (已結業)

I've heard of this place multiple times and finally gave it a try.I ordered a Belgium waffle and an herbs green iced tea.Before I speak of the items I ordered, the menu given to me was all covered in the water drops. Not a pleasant start.First off, the tea. Personally I do not like my tea too sweet, but this one tasted so bitter as if the tea was being brewed for at least several hours. Even the syrup could not fiz it and I could still taste this bitterness. Mind was blended in such small pieces

今日喺金鐘，突然想飲咖啡攤唞一下，上網睇有附近有咩咖啡店，所以嚟咗呢度，地方都幾清靜而且乾淨，嗌咗杯大咖啡，嘩！真係好大，哈哈！就係咁舒舒服服坐左一個鐘，仲要有商場Wifi添！

"pumpkin soup" tasted like pumpkin flavoured salt water. avocado mash was overpowered by the lemon. carrots in the salad were essentially carrot shavings that were still stuck to each other. orange juice was the only good thing in the meal.

情人節快樂！在這個甜蜜的日子，與大家分享上週五，也是甜魔媽媽「帶兄妹棄爸爸」佛山遊前夕，兩口子在金鐘太古廣場 Veuve Clicquot 期限店先嘆香檳，後晚餐直落的甜蜜預慶。太古廣場的食肆多不勝數，不過翌日一早就要出發，還是選擇同層的 Le Pain Quotidien，來頓輕鬆的 Cafe 晚餐吧。 在 VC 那邊打了底，不算餓的我選了 Chicken Cobb 沙律 ($108)，份量非常充足、內容包括牛油果、煙肉、有機雞蛋、藍芝士、番茄、雜菜沙律及油醋汁，清新健康得來不會寡口，吃下肚子非常舒服好受呢～ 又點了 Tartines 類的 Camembert & Fig Toast ($128)，我最愛的金必文芝士拌上梨片、蘋果及新鮮無花果，放在香脆挺身的比利時有機麵包上再烘香而成。 水果的清甜芝士令芝士的香味更突出，滋味曼妙；而多士脆硬的質感，亦與熱芝士的柔軟形成很大對比，是款無論味道或口感都很出色的食物！ 沙律及多士都好吃，就差 Hot Dishes 的 Flemish Beef Stew ($168) 味道很麻麻，嚴格來說是沒甚味道，一定要靠 Horseradish 辣根汁來

今日難得早放,過黎金鐘接男朋友仔放工~ 農曆新年前夕既金鐘都唔算多人, 有點肚餓, 要搵處舒服既地方可以坐低飲下咖啡同食少少野, 夜晚就再食團年飯啦~黎過呢度兩次, 咖啡一般, 但勝在叫細杯(38蚊)都已經好大杯~ 但佢用既瓷杯係無耳仔的, 知道係STYLE, 不過飲起上黎又真係好似飲緊湯咁叫多個SPANISH OMELETTE, 用料都巧豐富, 有BACON, 甜洋蔥, 同埋有大薯仔粒, 所以好飽肚. 最喜歡佢既沙律, 菜好新鮮, 加埋DRESSING, 我本身唔太好沙律都覺得好食~ 食材只要新鮮, 真係好味好多的~HEA HEA 的休息一陣, 已飽到食唔落團年飯...當正餐絕對夠份量!

剛剛的上星期港麗酒店正舉辦亞洲當代藝術展，已經以兩次投資者身份出席。這是一個看藝術的好地方。裏面有很多年輕嘅藝術家展出同售賣藝術品，今年有好幾個已於世界藝術文化界中站露頭角的藝術家畫品展出和出售，是我這個偽。藝。文青必去之地。其中一副重點展品是這個彩虹村。已經被買走看到這幅作品，令我感受到對於外國人來說香港是一個10分獨特的地方，他們往往都會被這個地方的環境文化交融以及吸引。然而像我們這些生存於這個彈丸之地的本土香港人。有時也看不出，這個地方究竟有多美麗。很多事面對生活我們經常不被認同，即使連一家餐廳其實生存亦都10分困難。我今天要說的就是這一間位於太古廣場新開的麵包店。這裏主要賣咖啡和麵包以及其實款式也很多的全日早餐意粉等等。正當我在寫呢個食評時，本來想簡單地介紹食品。但看到幾個評語都不是太好，令我有少少覺得想為這一家餐廳平反。這家餐廳大概能說成一間簡單的法式小店，幻想一下自己就是活在法國南部地區的一些村落. 這裡就是賣這種休閒感。這種的佈置也很休閒又開揚。是日睇完藝術展已經四點幾，呢個時候最適宜點輕怡嘅食物。點了這個十分法式的brunch ~ 美味炒蛋煙三文魚吞拿魚碎鹹乳酪水果燕麥

星期日和家人到香港公園，之後想試試新餐廳，約排隊10分鐘後在Le pain quoditien 坐下。未料點菜之後只見服務生跑來跑去，我們點的飲料不只沒來，連杯水也沒有。一直到半小時左右，三催四請之下才上了兩杯開水，之後繼續漫長的等待。未料四十分鐘左右，詢問之下才知道order出問題（什麼樣的問題不清不楚，含糊其詞）要重新點！這時再次要求飲料先上，只得到敷衍的回答。一直等到一個多小時，無論怎麼問也沒個結果，只有兩杯涼水，飢腸轆轆之下只好憤而離開，沒有人來致歉，仿佛沒有上菜是正常。從來沒有這麼差的用餐經驗，真是大開眼界。

Being Belgian i eagerly anticipated the opening of the LPQ branch here in HK (wasn't aware of the Wanchai one until visiting the website. I've been to LPQ many times (usually for lunch) back home in Bruxelles and London. Unfortunately, i was very disappointed w the HK branch. The menu - overpriced but given the location that was to expected - has much less variety and either offers dull options (Nicoise salad w canned tuna) or some localized items. The soup of the day (vegetable) was lots of oni

Being Belgian I was eagerly anticipating the opening of PQ here in Hong Kong, having visited their branches back home in Brussels and London multiple times. Unfortunately my visit was a total disappointment. The menu had far less variety and much less to offer than the original ones both in terms of food choices and beverages, with either uninspiring options (salad nicoise with canned tuna) or dull localized items. The vegetable omelet i ordered was runny and tasteless, with a few leaves of lett

去金鐘做facial，仲有時間未夠鐘，件呢度新開，所以就坐低飲杯嘢等下～ 環境比之前嗰間裝修得好似更加寫意～入到黎指示好似好唔清晰咁，以為係你買完之後就自己攞，但原來堂食就咁坐喺度order就得～叫咗杯Super Green $66，內容好豐富，有西芹/青瓜/菠蘿/蘋果/薑，岩石會嘢飲淨係感受到薑味好重～同埋好唔happy係佢拎過嚟個柸係崩咗，作為金鐘level，呢點比較差，有乜可能會令到會係崩咗～另外啲侍應質素都好參差，有着黑色西裝或者白色恤衫嗰啲阿頭就好attentive賣單連我杯野係飲乜都知，其他黑色t-shirt嗰啲呢就唔知焦點係邊懶懶閑有啲仲坐喺餐廳位度～
