....灣仔cafe 噢.
自己想食個hot-cake 就的到佢地來到鬼死咁遠....但喜歡食的人...就係咁



咖啡若有若無咖啡油....唔喜歡.

不好食的是日pizza雞肉香草醬

76蚊的''O my gosh'' All day breakfast 的一員.

最喜歡香草味的冰淇淋,霸住唔比人食的雪榚球.....

HOT CAKE唔會好甜...蛋味ok 鬆軟的口感....但生果少咗啲....

還要說的是...楓葉糖的樽是難以倒出糖..綜合來說只是中中地.

反而其他的pizza 可以喎...香香脆的,沙樂美都得....食完都成四點....晚餐又可以唔食了.

關於Cafe O,未去之前,只知道個名字同時下潮語"O咀"相近,
食物水準會否吃到人"O咀",又不見得,起碼在貴網上,好評多過劣評.

見到餐牌上的大O,想起當年的iPOD Shuffle,
記得當年iPOD shuffle廣告的口號是:Life is random,
聽什麼歌,沒有得自主選擇.
同做人一樣,好多時也身不由己.
現在播著的是林子祥的我愛你,下一首可能是盧巧音的好心分手.
人生,就是如此.

在便利店收銀櫃前的架上,看見一排不同款式的杜蕾斯.
不禁不說一聲:Life is condom.
人與人之間,自此多了一重隔膜.
並非個個都會機關算盡,在事前計數,或者自身純潔,沒有任何暗湧.
否則一次偷雞,就喊極無謂.
這一生人,就在未嘗真蹄之下,鬱鬱而終.

在Cafe O,你可吃個Pasta,沙律,薄餅,喝杯咖啡,甚至開支餐酒.
這樣,又算不算:Life is freedom?

方形一至二人前的磨菇薄餅,兩個人吃剛好,一個人來說就很大.
薄餅底薄而脆,絕不是連鎖美式的鬆糕鞋底般厚.
芝士份量適中,亦不會像咬著香口膠般愛恨交纏.
茄醬也不會一味得個死酸,味道帶點甜.
磨菇在高溫焗過之後,仍沒有出現乾凅跡像.
這麼大的薄餅,只售五十多塊錢.結合所有,實在找不出"O咀"理由.

見到此店供應的咖啡豆,是Fair trade的產物.
記得年前電影節有套電影"不公平咖啡".
說到非洲埃塞俄比亞的農民,點樣被世界強豪去欺詐.
弱肉強食,是天然定律,雖然種種不公義,令人看不過眼,
但我們可做些什麼?

不光顧快餐連鎖
不穿某美國運動名牌
不喝某咖啡連鎖出品

其實,不難做到.

今天在工作後，晚上又要去街，中間有一小時的休息時間，便找個地方坐坐，看看書，讓腦袋休息一會。

因為夜晚去演藝學院睇詹瑞文，所以便來到灣仔，一路行看見Cafe O，便進去了。由於之後又要去吃晚飯，所以不能吃太多東西，最後叫了個Blueberry Muffin同一杯Latte。

個鬆餅真係有超多藍莓，幾乎每一口都有，而且非常好D藍莓只係微甜，所以真係剛剛好，唔知係咪有機呢，因為佢D野好似都係主張健康咁。鬆餅都算鬆軟，幾好食。之後杯Latte我只係叫左regular size，但都幾大杯，已經夠哂~~ 微微的咖啡味，一點也不會難入口，溫度剛好，唔會辣親。

坐在窗口環境很好，非常寧靜，可以靜靜看書，偶爾看看出面的世界休息一下，不知為何真的有種隔絕的感覺，好像出面發生任何事也與我無關一樣，其餘客人也是外國人，我一進去時還有個外國人歡迎我和我打招呼呢!

很快電話又響起，我又匆匆的離開了。

經過這店很多次, 但每次都不是吃飯時間所以無緣一試, 早陣子逛完書展總算有機會了. 這裡是半快餐形式, 付款後坐好待應便會奉上食物.


1 liter "6 senses"($78) - 橙+薄荷+士多啤梨+奇異果汁, 味道非常清甜, 推介!!


素食千層闊條麵+沙律($74): 茄汁味較濃, 稍為普通.


Tomato& Basil pizza (square size $58): 因為我們只有兩人, 只點了最小的size, 未能見識這裡聞名的一米長pizza... pizza底很香脆, 整體味道不錯, 但蕃茄味較淡.


O My Gosh($76): 其實我是沖着這道甜品而來, 很少吃到的超厚pancake! Pancake近一吋厚, 跟一小球雪糕, 熱騰騰的上桌, 吃起來外脆內軟蛋味十足, 非常精彩!! 但要留意那瓶糖漿雪得差不多都凝結了, 倒了很久才可以倒出來....

今晚因睇演唱會..故要用最快時間食晚飯....原先打算一般快餐店就算吧~但很多都人生人海...靈光一閃..想起這店...其實每次都經過門口..今天就不如一嘗吧
內裡氣氛輕鬆...全以英語溝通...HAHA...可能他們懂廣東話都不定..因是我們見她不像本地人...
故用了英語溝通罷了.....就到食物ORDER 了一個蓄茄蘑菇PIZZA, (很好...很有意大利PIZZA感覺..硬趣帶少許焗濃味的餅底是我最欣賞,很多人也不喜歡這味感, 但我卻十分欣賞...食物本味就像人生一口內充滿酸 - 蕃茄醬 ,甜 蓎菇的鮮甜- ,苦- 餅邊烘濃的苦,辣 - 熱辣辣的出爐)..,另再加一個蕃茄三色椒燴雞肉長通份....茄醬帶有茄乾....帶出不油不膩...好回味..加上2支有氣礦泉水..好回味...希望盡快再來光顧

又一次夜晚係灣仔搵食
來到這一間餐廰後 我朋友就即刻搵厠所(因為佢肚痛)

而我就坐低先 等另外一位朋友睇完醫生過黎
人齊後 我們就叫了牛肉肉醬千層麵加沙律, 一個三文治, 同埋Oh my gosh (我朋友即使成晚個肚都好痛, 但係堅持要叫oh my gosh, 真係死都要食 @.@)

牛肉肉醬千層麵加沙律- ok 啦, 都多肉醬, 沙律既菜都新鮮

三文治- 唔記得自己叫左乜野三文治, 但係有驚喜; 個樣望落去好普通, 但係當我切開去三份時, 已經見到裡面既芝士痴住痴住, 食落口, 麵包有少少脆, 菜同煙肉亦都很脆, 總之成個夾埋好正, 勾起我係歐洲時候既回憶....(食個飽都諗咁多野...)

Oh my gosh - 淨睇個名都唔知乜菜, 呢一個係Pancake, 唔係一個普通既Pancake, 佢係一個特厚既Pancake, 上面加d生果咁; 食落口, 個質感有點似蛋糕, 個邊煎到有少少脆脆的

不過呢一度個厠所真係有少少遠, 要行過隔離棟大廈, 上一層樓梯先有 @.@

昨日同男朋友來到，本想食隔離個個的，點知太多人
黎左呢度，裡面一個人都冇
叫左set dinner，有沙律野飲同埋主菜
沙律冇乜特別
主菜係焗茄子，面頭有好多芝士好香，d飯係好細粒個d (我唔知叫乜)，我覺得不錯但他說味道怪怪的
野飲係橙溝薑溝mint，其實都唔錯，又係佢話有少少怪
另外仲叫左個煙三文魚包，好好味呀，好多菜感覺好健康哩

其實我最鍾意呢度個環境，比人好舒服的感覺

昨天星期日, 上open rice 搵過一D灣仔嘅cafe, 最終揀咗尼一間好似快餐格調嘅cafe食晚飯!

我叫咗網上嘅人介紹嘅 凍朱古力 $3X chocolaticious (唔知有無串錯) 同一個細size pizza. 個pizza 幾抵食, $5X 蚊差唔多有 一呎 x 一呎大嘅薄pizza(有香腸個隻) , 但個餅底食落苦苦地!! ;
柸嘢飲還可以! 成份有香蕉, 雲尼那雪糕, 朱古力同薄荷葉 (我就走咗薄荷葉) 但飲落似香蕉飲品多過朱古力!!!

BF 叫咗個set dinner $11X, 有個湯, 3款揀, 蕃茄湯/ 薯仔湯/ 磨菇湯, BF揀咗薯仔湯, 有餐包但凍!! 主菜係雞胸肉+飯, 有柸飲品. 個湯無乜味! 個雞胸肉好"up", 咬到佢牙較都軟埋!!! 好難食!!!!!!

cafe裡面播嘅音樂, 真係唔識欣賞~~~

如果可以嘅, "味道分"同"抵食分"好想比0分囉!!

唔怪得食飯時間 7:45pm-8:00pm, 成間舖都係得4個客人(已經計埋我地2個)!! 不過間舖都唔係大! 總之以後都唔會再黎啦!! ~~

這又是一個奇妙的美食之旅. 如何奇妙? 就是沒想過會隔了剛好一年重遊舊地 - 一個別有意義及滿載回憶的地方. 一年前, 我就在盧押道前兩條街當上辦公室實習生. 那是我人生第一次的工作經驗.

你要知道, 一個 office trainee 不會捨得用多過 30 雞吃午飯. 那是種不能負擔的奢侈. 每次經過盧押道是在午飯後回公司途中. 許多時我的視線會越過 Cafe O 那高高的落地玻璃, 那些食物吸引我良久. 你看到那些外籍高層悠閒嘆著咖啡, 談笑風生, 心中不禁羨慕他們 - "趕回公司"四隻字不會在他們腦海浮現. 這種用膳態度才可使人把集中力放在食物及餐廳上, 而非單純地果腹和糊口.

適逢要續 passport, 就選了到灣仔辦. 可是時間給友人稍稍耽誤, 辦好手續已經是下午四時. 誤打誤撞下走到了這裡. 既然緣分把我牽到它跟前, 哪有不光顧之理?

於是, 我和友人就在這裡開展了美食三重奏的首部曲!

菲籍店員彬彬有禮, 打了招呼後回應 mini sandwich 是 half size of regular. 笑容可掬. 我點了一個 Rocket Salad, 一杯 reular Latte. 小弟對咖啡因也算敏感, 這個時間只可 Latte 和 Cappucino 二選一, 否則晚上會睡不著.

講左咁多, 即入正題吧!

Rocket Salad ($44)
用料如下: pear slices, crushed walnuts, shaved parmesan, rocket leaves& with balamisic dressing.
這個配搭頗新穎. 梨片很清爽, 配著碎合桃和碎芝士, 一甜一咸很特別!
配上清爽的 Rockets 和開胃的黑醋 dressing, 產生很微妙的化學作用.
Size 剛剛好, 適合這個夾在午飯和晚飯的尷尬時分.

Latte ($28)
一間 cafe 要是把一杯 coffee 弄不好實在是 a shame! 當然 Cafe O 不會犯下這種不可饒恕的錯.
Latte 啡味淡薄, 調配得宜. 但未知是否小弟顧著拍照把 latte 放涼了? 入口只是微暖. 希望下次溫度有所改善.

室內播著輕快悠閒的節拍, 用膳很是愉快輕鬆. 雖然依依不捨但還是要繼續美味之旅. 這頓飯就在店員友好的 Bye 及微笑下, 劃上圓滿的句號.

下次要早點來吃個份量充足的正餐!

After the long hoilday of Chinese New Year, today was not good. I was still very sick today becasue parties for a week. Eating, eating and eating.......

I left office an hour before lunch and saw a doctor. I was very sick to have my lunch today, but got to eat something light. Walked passed the Cafe O and I did not visit for ages. They are good but not great. I walked inside and saw a new manager welcome me. Some people were waiting for ordering and takeaway. He approached me and took the order for me. I told him I was very sick today and wanna eat light, he asked me how is the salad and soup. I did not make up my mind and said sure, why not. I chose the caesar salad and tomato and basil soup. The salad was fresh and the soup was great, very suitable for me and very refreshing.

I put my medicine on the table and the manager saw me nothing to drink after meal. He asked me any drinks I would like, I did not think coffee, juice or bubble mineral can go with my medicine. I was just reading magazine and he gave me a glass of warm water, that is I wanted. I took the medicine and feel good whole day. May be the medicine works or the service got to be like that.

I will go there more often and tell my friends. Don't miss out the great food and service there!

吃過美味的拉麵, 欣賞過有趣的電影後, 心情極度輕鬆愉快地前往銅鑼灣接老公放工。

今次我們的目的地是Cafe O, 這是一間我們以往差不多每天經過, 但又會視而不見的餐廳。

說來也會覺得奇怪, 這一段路的食店, 我們基本上每一間都已嘗試過了。
唯獨是Cafe O, 總是提不起勁, 鼓不起勇氣進內嘗試。
只覺得門面大大個紅色O字很古怪, 店內又長期看不見有多少顧客,
所以我老是弄不清楚她是一間室內裝修公司還是一間食店。

現在回想起當然會覺得很可笑, 因為我們真的是走寶多時, 她是一間完全能符合老公要求的食店。

走進店內, 地方雖小, 坐位有限, 可是顧客亦是寥寥無幾, 除了另外的一枱客, 亦只有我們。

難得的恬靜, 令人多麼的欣慰。與外面熱鬧人多的銅鑼灣和灣仔相比, 彷彿是兩個世界。

這樣一個舒適的環境, 輕易地獲取我們的好感。再看看餐牌上的食物, 發覺十分適合老公的口味。

我們很想試這裡的Pizza, 所以點了Medium Size Salami Pizza。
這裡的Pizza Medium Size 長得驚人, 足足要兩張枱才能安放好它。
老公驚喜萬分, 單是看已經可達到觀能上的滿足。

味道亦是相當的不俗, 薄薄的餅底煙韌帶脆, 再配上鹹鹹香香的沙樂美腸topping,
酸酸甜甜的蕃茄醬, 香口濃味又特別的紅洋蔥醬和十分誘人的Mozzarella芝士, 這個Pizza精彩得很。
大食如老公也吃不完, 最後吃剩三份一, 老公把吃剩的帶回公司做早餐, 仍然是相當美味。

我們另外還點了Beef Lasagna, 這個很一般。
牛肉碎很多很漏, 蕃茄醬味道很酸, 比Pizza Express 的相差很遠。
而且很奇怪地底部的千層闊麵竟是乾的, 懷疑是現成貨, 可幸Side Salad 尚算新鮮可口,
不過下次還是留起這個quota試別的, 也不要點這款好了。

飲品我們點了Chocolicious, 這款smoothies 是由分
chocolate+ vanilla ice-cream+ banana + fresh mint 打成, 估不到這麼好喝。
先是濃濃的朱古力味, 再而是香蕉的甜味, 嚥下後是淡淡的清新薄荷味道,
整杯飲品又滑又凍, 應該是加入雲呢嗱雪糕的作用。
因為味道太好, 我們用了9秒9的時間把它整杯喝光了。
下次來要點1Litre 才足夠呢!

可能顧客少, 服務很好。
點Medium Size Pizza 時, 侍應細心地提點Pizza很長, 份量很多。
要求加水, 要求take away剩下的Pizza亦都有求必應, 還把Pizza包得很精美的給我們帶走。
我們吃得開心, 亦很滿意她們的service。

老公對這一餐的聖誕"長"餐, 滿意得很, 已經嚷着要快點再來光顧了。

It's very nice of my friend to buy me brunch at Cafe O. At the very beginning, we planned to try the one on Caine Road. On our second thoughts, Cafe O in Wanchai was more convenient to us. So we chose this one.

The shop was smaller than expected but high chairs gave me a relaxing feeling. Actually, my friend heard that the cafe served quiche which I longed for. Despite we found quiche + salad on menu, the waiter said they did not make quiche. Nevertheless, we still found some other food good in quality.

We tried vegetable lasagne + salad set, cream of mushroom soup, mango juice for her and cappuccino for me. The soup was impressive because mushroom was blended with vegetables (I think it's spinach) and the texture was creamy enough. Very good. The tomato paste on lasagne was fantastic and the whole thing was fresh. Salad seems to be side dish in most dishes. But I found salad shared the same importance in the set. Rocket, cherry tomatoes, etc were fresh and the salad dressing was good. Hope they can be more generous in salad dressing next time.

Because it's a self service cafe, I think food is a bit over-priced. After all, target customers are expatriates or OL in weekdays. Maybe it's the reason for such pricing.

Again, thanks for my friend's recommendation. We can try quiche some place else. As I said to my friend, a good meal is not something about food only but also the partner. I enjoyed thoroughly the lunch with my friend. Thanks again.

P.S. The score of hygiene is because of the washroom which is in the next building and not tidy enough.

oct 21, 08,2人嚟lunch,叫咗 :

1) 南瓜沙律 $44
-友人嚷住要-肥,所以淨食齋沙律
-友人當然比咗d我試啦.........面層你會見到番茄乾,水牛芝士粒,南瓜肉,甜椒之後,底層全部墊有火箭菜
-配以橄欖油+黑醋dressing,仲額外再有1塊蒜蓉包
-個南瓜又腍又甜,好有質素,不過略嫌此店嘅火箭菜.........大大啖咁食,苦味比較強(唔知喺咪佢嘅長莖部做成)
-我雖然都喜歡火箭菜,但我還是喜歡適度苦味+芝麻味兼並嗰種
-都幾大碗,友人食極都有

2) o my gosh $76
-上次因為殺出1/2m pizza(勁大)..............令我哋無得叫個pancake...........1直令我耿耿於懷
-既然友人話嚟呢度.............入到嚟,無理由唔叫
-雖然知道會幾飽吓............(因見到賣成$76)..............又明知夜晚會同食友大戰都唔理咁多
-都等咗幾耐吓...........追咗店員1次
-上枱時,我就知道點解............事關喺厚身pancake嚟,所以製作需時(大火嘅話,裡面會唔熟,1定要慢火慢慢嚟)...........咁遲都遲得合理
-當然先吃雪糕啦............原來唔喺正常雪糕質感,而喺冰絲狀,好似台式嘅綿綿冰咁,可以啦
-pancake1塊切成4小件
-好...........外觀賣相就好靚喇,pancake幾乾爽,無滿面油光
-咬啖先...........外層微挺身,未去到脆嘅口感,但入口好鬆,最緊要喺無苦味..........好怕d厚身pancake有自發粉嘅苦/"劫"味
-配以鮮果(士多啤梨+香蕉片)+楓蜜糖漿(清甜)..................
-真喺好值得推介
-已分咗1/2小塊比友人,我都喺食剩1啖..........好飽!!

跟同學們在上課前的午膳。想著有什麼地方有免費上網﹐又不會太多人﹐就想到這裡。

同學叫了一個 salami pizza -- 這個是小型的﹐但還是很大份﹐她跟另一同學一起吃﹐都讚不絕口。 (我沒有吃﹐因為 salami 是用牛做的)。

我就因為還未睡醒﹐所以先來一杯 latte -- 還是很喜歡他們的杯子。

我的大早餐 -- 旁邊的英國佬看到就叫道﹕這個是 hangover breakfast 呢! 但想說明的是﹐我沒有 hangover﹐但我就是喜歡吃這裡早餐﹐味道也很好 (grilled tomato 上的醬可以輕手點就更好)。

沒有太多人﹐進去後總覺得像去了外國般的悠閒﹐價錢也反映了 (比較 Flying Pan 貴)﹐但我還是會來吃的﹐因為水準有保証。

I was at the HKAPA to fetch some tickets, then went back to downtown Wanchai for a late lunch. I was in a dilemma between Subway and Cafe O, but since the latter looked more comfortable so I went here.

It was around 2 pm and there were still quite a number of patrons. With the mostly expatriate clintele I was the rare local at that time.

The sample of the Lunch Deal (Soup + Square Pizza + Iced Tea - $80) at the cashier looked nice, so I decided to have one. However I wanted to try one of its Smoothies, and paid an extra $12 for a School Bus Smoothie as well.

I seated myself at a table next to the french window, good for people looking. The soup was brought to me soon.

Soup 4 the day - Carrot & Ginger >> the orange color looked appetising, while the fiber-loaded carrot puree-soup was bursting with flavor. There were silvers of ginger which gave the soup a spicy zing. The piece of garlic bread that came with the soup was not that impressive however, even though it was ? whole wheat it was cold and bland.

Square Pizza - the day's special was Cherry Tomato w/ Feta (goat cheese) >> the 8-inch pizza was cut into 12 pieces; by the time I'd finished the soup and half of the School Bus (see below) I was already almost full, so I had to pack half of the pizza home. It looked adorable and tasted good too, the pizza crust was crispy, and the tangy herbs and feta cheese further livened up the already tomato-y pizza!
If I had to pick on something, it would be that most of the feta was at the center of the pizza, and that part would get a little too salty while the other parts had relatively less flavor, and that the pizza was not hot enough.

School Bus - strawberry + frozen yoghurt + milk + banana + honey + museli >> really I was too ambitious, this was already a meal in itself. I was so FULL ~~~
anyway this is a cool sweet treat, on a hot summer day, and what's more you can almost hear it shout out the word NUTRIENTS!!!

The staff were nice and ready to help. This may not be your cheap-eat pick, but I would recommend this refreshing chill-out place as an alternative to the noisy smoky pubs nearby (alcoholic drinks available here). It would even be better if they get a wider repertoire of ambient music.
