St Betty (已結業)

有日見到openrice有人寫呢間的tea, 雖然betty’s kitchen以前黎過食brunch, 當時覺得麻麻地好味, 但見睇d comment 好似幾好, 個名又改左St Betty, 有日約食tea就黎呢度試試. 入去發現裝修冇改過. 唔知係上次黎冇留意定點, 發覺d waiter個個都係靚鬼, 好似男模咁的身型 (不過唔夠高做男模), 著件好鮮色的綠色背心, 好奇怪. 女waitress就個個都行得好慢, 可能因為佢地個個都要著對4吋高跟鞋, 諗起佢要企成日都好辛苦. 5個人叫左4個 tea set. Tea set黎到個樣都幾好. 拿拿聲試個scone. Scone暖暖地, texture都ok, 但唔夠牛油味, 提子乾比平時的黐牙. Clotted cream 都好滑, 但唔夠香. 另外的咸點包括兩份小 open sandwich, 味道都OK, 紅椒的sandwich 雖然感覺油膩, 但比較好味. 有4粒冇涵的puff, 脆就脆, 但冇味的. 甜點方面, Canelé的面非常’伶’. 拿上手個個都以為有塊紙響面, 想搣紙. 好在食落個皮唔靭, 裏面的custard都

St.Betty's decor is warm and elegant with a fantastic view of Hong Kong's harbour but be sure to book for window side tables in advance, if not there are still a lovely section of sofas that you and your lovely friends or beau could snuggle in.The menu is very simple and well thought out, with a healthy selection of meat and seafood. I must warn you though, prices here are not cheap at all. You will not get very elaborate or over the top dishes, on the contrary you will get decadent heartfelt di

兩年前曾經在Bettys吃過一餐相當滿意的晚飯, 也是Alan Yau回歸之作. 但在去年, Bettys已經改變成St. Betty. 這裡的新任大廚就是Shane Osborn, 他曾經是倫敦的二星店Pied à Terre的大廚, Pied à Terre在他離去後最近兩年也只能得到一星. 還記得數年前曾經跟文迪在Pied à Terre吃了一頓相當令人回味的晚餐, 特別是甜品部份, 更是味覺跟視覺也令人滿意.歷史說完了. 是日要到半山參加婚禮, 獻詩後見時間還早, 不如就跟文迪來這裡吃吃甜, 重溫一下舊夢. 星期六的下午, 人客還不少, 擺位是相當之密. 當然, 這地段的租金實在相當之貴, 這安排也無可厚非. 不過在環境一欄怎也要扣分的就是冷氣嚴重不足, 雖然天氣寒冷, 但室內竟然是相當之焗, 坐久了更是有點透不過氣的感覺. 幾辛苦的. 看看下午茶的介紹, 好像不太吸引, 不如就散叫一客鬆餅, 再加一款甜品, 這樣才能夠選擇最合我們心水的食物.Earl Grey $50: 先來點喝的, 文迪的選擇當然又是伯爵茶, 單計賣相及配套, 是對辦的.Choco-Maca-Verde $

閉關多時，Projects、Presentations、報工、溫習、考試……媽媽啊！每天睡六小時、刨書刨得快要瘋的日子終於過去，我的假期來了！！！試考完，馬上與姊妹們聚聚共享Afternoon Tea，出來放鬆放鬆。離開壯嚴的校園，在大大小小的商場立即感受到棚拜到滿瀉的節日氣氛，到處都有歡欣的聖誕歌曲播放，令人亳不保留地投入holiday mood，真想高呼 This is what life should be!廢話少講，其實是次高茶活動，主要是想與年齡快將進位的Roro 慶生，希望讓我們最寵的Roro 公主有個難忘生日為滿足六個八婆仔的胃口，我們點了三個Afternoon Tea Set （每套$398 ）分享，飲品方面，小妹點了Flat White。Tea set連的飲料包括多款咖啡、中西茶品，茶品款式多得大部分是孤陋寡聞的小妹聞所未聞，真慚愧！點Valrhora熱朱則要多付$20，大家要留意啊！點菜不久，美艷的三層架很快被送上，每層都美侖美奐，相當吸引。高層有多款色彩斑斕的Bite Size甜點，之後有經典雙色Scones，而最底層就有精緻的Open Sandwiches。從前

可以在假日或週末嘆下午茶，是「休閒」；可以在週日享受下午茶，是「幸福」！正當人人都在努力上班工作，我卻跟好朋友到這裡HEA足一個下午。這天，我們選擇了窗旁的座位。由於餐廳內只有一檯客人，感覺十分寧靜，加上柔和的陽光，倍添悠閒舒適的感覺。招待我們的是一名外籍侍應，態度殷勤有禮，但當我們向他請教menu內的各款茶類，他就顯得有點無助，甚至哪些是比較熱門的，也毫無頭緒 -- 就唯有隨意挑選兩款吧。這裡的餐飲款式實在多得令人眼花撩亂，平日的下午茶餐，頂多只有數款茶和咖啡以供選擇，這裡卻有不少於三十款!侍應隨即送上別緻的茶具，上面印有藍色的花葉圖案，還有紅色的小甲蟲，設計優雅。趁食物未到，我們先來品茶。Darjeeling – 2011 ‘Oolong Delight’ Second Flush，大吉嶺紅茶，味道帶有果香，清新甘醇；Assam – 2010 Second Flush Organic，屬於濃茶類的阿薩姆紅茶，味道香醇，沉穩厚實。我倆都比較喜歡前者。這時，滿載甜點、鬆餅和三文治的三層架出場了。吃過不少酒店和 café 的下午茶，印象中 robuchon 的三文治是最出色的。不過，St

Business lunch for 5.Seated quickly, decent setting. Service a little slow in getting going, speeded up.All 5 of us rather ridiculously had the set biz lunch ($378 for 3 courses). Lots of nice warm bread offered, which was good as service slow and starters slow to come. I took a marinated salmon carpacio for a starter which was nicely done, not overly marinated and fresh. Mains, all five of chose beef with polenta (in favour of pea risotto, duck confit), which was very tender and nicely pre

A Serious Coffee Pouring Station - With Sidamo Nikesse micro-lot Hand Dripped (Beehouse Hand Drip with Metal Cone Filter) – $60. The way the coffees were made and tasted reminded me of the fast and high dosage pours from London’s Monmouth Coffee (II). I think some dedicate hand drippers would probably expect more finesse to extract more layers, but these are good coffee beans! .Poached London Smoked Haddock, Poached Egg, Parsley Sauce and Potato Straws – $158Quite smooth and smoky, they t

自St Betty換上擁有兩星米芝蓮的新廚Shane Osborn後，最近也吃過一次Afternoon Tea，食物質素比大半年來當時還是叫Bettys Kitschen的改善很多，當中鹹點三文治款式配搭特別，味道更是不錯，於是更想前來吃午或晚飯。新廚上任後，推出了全新餐牌，看過週末的早午餐Weekend Brunch甚為吸引，於是便跟朋友相約好前來，美好週末就從早午餐開始。這天同樣坐到窗旁一桌，最愛是柔柔的自然光超進來，有點懶洋洋的感覺，很舒服。侍應先來來新鮮焗起的麵包，熱烘烘的外表頗為脆身，但內裡卻很鬆軟，再塗上軟滑的牛油，濃郁麵粉及牛油香，吃下去暖暖的很不錯。Ox Heart Tomato with Pesto，Dried Black Olive，8 Year Old Balsamic Vinegar，$138。新鮮的蕃茄上放了橄欖乾碎，綠葉及薄脆，顏色紅紅，甚有生氣。橄欖味道沒有過濃把蕃茄的鮮甜蓋過，伴上香草醬及陳醋，酸酸的，不會過度酸澀，令人十分開胃。Crushed Avocado，Charred Red Peppers and Homemade Sweet Chili Ja

In HK on business I went to St Betty's for lunch. Blown away by the quality of the cooking I decided to go back for dinner a couple of days later! First, the lunch.... Had the seared tuna nicoise salad. I must say this was the best nicoise I've ever had! The tuna was seared perfectly and it came with lovely mash, oven dried tomatoes, green beans and an olive tapenade. The balance was perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed it.I went back for dinner a couple of days later.... Starter was the olive oil poache

近來又回到一個人四處尋食的情景 沒來由的 會開始懷念起某一階段的自己花香 陽光 和溫暖的空氣 連呼吸都是幸福的甜品 永遠是開心的好夥伴或許並不擅長與人打交道 而和甜品的相處 反而來的開懷 用肆無忌憚也不誇張 呵呵聽聞Betty換了新廚 惦記著他那英式的風味 搬著電腦 決定在這墨跡一天 菜單: 下午茶是$398/2位 另收10%服務費 遗憾的是 這裡並沒有一人份的下午茶 或許High Tea本是為好友相聚而設計 一個人閒情逸致的畢竟少數 在掙扎了3秒之後 選擇選擇散點鬆餅來做嘗試 Scones Plate$88 小小一碟 裝了四只鬆餅 口味是原味和提子 是第一次見到這麼小個子的鬆餅 模樣很是討巧 而近看一下 外表焗得金黃 熱烘後的效果 牛油味飄香 透著窗外溫暖的陽光 開陽的視野 很有脣齒大動的慾望用刀切開 看看內裡 是微微溼潤的 迫不及待的試一口 有些酥脆而綿密的口感 併不會很干口 其实撇去酒店质素的佼佼者 在数家西餐厅里 Betty的出品 已是有相当的水准 要说小小的不足 就是原味的稍欠些黄油香 要將這麼小只的鬆餅也作出層次 應該會更考驗對烤箱的操作 我沒有烤過這類 不過之前烤曲奇

舊日的Bettys Kitschen，換上了新廚來自澳洲擁有兩星米芝蓮的Shane Osborn後，餐廳也換上新名字St Betty。記得四月初曾跟朋友來過Bettys Kitschen吃下午茶，但這次卻有著不太愉快的體驗，但換上新廚後，餐牌上包括下午茶的食物也轉了新款，所以也前來一試。這天下午，跟上次一樣坐到窗旁的一桌，柔和的自然光投射進來，令人感覺更加舒適。不久侍應便送來三層架，頂層是甜點、中層是鬆餅及底層的是三文治。先吃最令人期待的鬆餅，最令我期待的原因有兩個，一是鬆餅在下午茶部份中也很重要，還要先趁熱吃，而且個人很喜歡吃。二是上次來吃的鬆餅叫人印象最難忘，質感硬實得難以用刀分開它。兩款鬆餅Plain及Raisin，外表焗得還不錯，微微金黃，可輕易用刀從中心切開，感覺挺好。口感外帶微脆，內裡不算十分鬆軟，但不會乾身及吃得黏口，配來吃還有Clotted Cream、紅桑莓及杏甫果醬。然後也吃底層的鹹甜三文治，顏色鮮艷繽紛，賣相十分吸引。牛油果紅椒多士，Crushed avocado，chillli jam，roasted red peppers on toasted Poilane

I was on a solo business trip in Hong Kong, after checking my bag in at the airport express in the IFC mall I had some time to kill to grab a quick bite for lunch. After wandering around settled on St. Betty on the second floor. Obviously not having a reservation and the restaurant was quite full I was told I would be on a sharing table at the back of the restaurant,being a solo diner I wasn't that bothered. Looking at the menu I was undecided on what to have so asked my waiter for a recommendat

今日比我發現有新地方High Tea....唔錯唔錯。一個High tea set 都要$398, 但係一個咁舒服既環境，同有window seat既view,(雖然望落有個地盤)我都覺得值得 。。 Having rose tea while waiting....Wait 10 mins.....Tea Set finally arrived.... 頭個層係 mini pastry..有madelines, banana parline mooseearl grey flavour macaroon (超好食,唔太甜) Fromage frais mousse with raspberry jelly & Lemon curd (酸酸甜甜，既refreshing ) Gateau opera cake & canelle 第二層唔小得係scones 有兩種味 plain & raisin flavour Strawberrry jam & apricot jam & cotted cream

I am very happy to say that the meal I had in snt Betty was absolutely delicious! A magical experience with no tricks what so ever. Honest and true to the quality of the produce, chef knows what he is doing and he obviously is enjoying it. The 21st century egg with asparagus was a perfect take on a very Chinese delicacy, and might I say a very tasty one. I opted to taste my dinner dates pink snapper before my own dinner ( i am female and it is my right to eat his food too!)and almost regretted

There are few restaurants in HK that I hold dear to my heart - and St Betty is one of them. The restaurants boasts one of the most immaculate views of the harbour that I have ever seen, and the ambience itself will lure you in. Whether you are just visiting Hong Kong or have lived here for years, that divine view never gets tiresome. We were seated right away, and greeted by an attentive and smiling staff clad in kitschy checked aprons. They werent the type of staff (like in so many HK establi
