Went pass Ms B's cakery many times when I went to Gough Street. C'est la B is the cafe-bar as an extenion of Ms B's cakery. C'est la B has 3 brunches in Hong Kong: Tai Hung, Pacific Place at Admiralty & Harbour City at Tsim Sha Tsui.The brunch at Harbour City is the newest addition. I saw lots of reviews on Openrice & Instagram about their new bento box series. So I decided have lunch there, since I have to visit the newly open Pierre Herme at Harbour City anyway.The entrenece of the restaurant
The brunch at Harbour City is the newest addition. I saw lots of reviews on Openrice & Instagram about their new bento box series. So I decided have lunch there, since I have to visit the newly open Pierre Herme at Harbour City anyway.
The entrenece of the restaurant has a big wall of green leaves, quite attractive!!I was arranged to be seated at a table near the cashier.
The restaurant has a "Alice in the wonderland" kind of interior design. It's very magical with different colorful tables, black & white stripes floor, beautiful butterfries & flowers decroation.
There is a bar table next to the window, which people can overlook the entrance of the Harbour City. There are some pots of plants hanging down from the ceiling, going along the same theme with the wall of green leaves at the restaurant entrance.
The light on top of the cashier is in "Alice in the wonderland" kind of design as well with all the tea pots shape.
Main reason I want to visit C'est la B is obviously to try their bento box series. Their are 8 set of bento box to choose from, ranges from Canton, Koren, Japanese, Vietnamese, NYC, Italian, Vegetarian style. So many choices that I need to take a while to decide what to eat.I saw there was a seperate menu promoting the bento box set (included 1 drink: coffee/tea), which add HKD$40 to add 1 bowl of soup & 1 dessert from the selected choices. In the end, I settled for Vietnamese style bento box (Saigon Box).
The soup was served hot, tasted creamy & had a strong mushroom aroma!!! I love their big beautiful flower bowl with the matching plate!
The bento box was finally here!!! The box was in yellow color, divided into 3 boxes inside. There was some salad green on the left small box. There was some corn kernel, cherry tomato, lettuce & redish, which tasted refreshing. There were 2 pieces of fried chicken with a lemon wedge on the right small box. The chicken were nicely fried, not soggy at all. But I just felt the whole bento box had a bit too much meat then vegetable.The big box has the cold Vietnamese rice noodle with a few slides of ginger lemongrass chicken. There were some vegetable underneath, which was good balance with the chicken. The ginger lemongrass flavors was quite strong, pretty sure it had been marinated for a long time. There was a small jug of Vietnamese sauce for the noodle. It's pretty hard to eat the Vietnamese noodle with fork. It's better if they can provide chopsticks for cusomters.
Since the dessert was included in the set, so it only has limited choices. I want to eat the rainbow color cake, but it wasn't included in the selected choices. Then the waitress recommended this dessert: Madame Butterfly, since I said I want to eat something in pistachio flavour.The chiffon cake consists of 3 layers: beetroot (the red layer on top), pistachio (the green layer in the middle) & chocolate (on the bottom). There was fresh cream in the middle of the cake, crowned with dark & white chocolate with apricot compote in the middle. The cake was served on a black plastic plate, which looked like not very appetizing!
I can only say I don't like this cake at all! I couldn't taste any beetroot & pistachio flavours. It tasted in very strong almond flavour, which I'm not sure why. I can taste the chocolate flavour though. I didn't finish the whole cake, just half of it. I wish I can have the rainbow cake!!!! Really disappointed!
But I'm pretty sure I'll definitely go back & try their other bento boxes or may be other cakes or the rainbow sandwich!
