went there today for the first time.. and i was a bit disappointed really. they don't take any bookings (i went on Sun 1pm) so they only accept walk ins. so that was fine, i was happy to walk in and try my luck. the place was packed and there were loads of people waiting in front of us. after being told there'll only be a 20min wait... well that turned out to be a 45min wait. ( i thought it would be worth it!!).
Finally we got a table by the door and ordered quickly. as soon as we ordered we were asked to move to another table to let room for a party of 6. that was fine by us, we know they were really busy. but what happened was.. they didn't change our table number over. and so happens the table of 6 ordered what we ordered too (mixed grill and egges benedict) and ended up getting it before us. I notified the waitress right away and she said they will make it again for us immediately. but when it came our eggs were raw and there were oil lying in a pool around it. the mixed grill came half the size of the table's next to us (which we should have got if they had updated our table number). Lastly.. both the dishes came luke warm. practically cold to be honest. but we were so fed up and hungry we ate it anyway and couldnt get out fast enough.
good points: -atmosphere is good -surrounding is very "british" and cosy -a load of magazines for male and female to read (and you can buy if you are interested. each has a price label on the front) -menu is not bad -fresh bread to buy and take home
bad points: - LONG waiting time at weekend -tables and sittings chaotic (you may be asked to move but they may forget to update your new table, hence your food may go to someone else) -service so-so. i asked for the drinks right away and they forgot and only produced it at the end when i reminded them again. She said "oops, sorry." -food came out "luke warm" practically cold. -eggs were still raw with pool of oil floating on top and around it.
to be honest.. the food and service could be much better.
This is the 3rd time I have been here. Had a nice supper and a not so nice tea before. Our daughters love this place as it's really cosy and there are lots of magazines from US and UK to read. If you like them, you can buy them to take home.
There are a few particularly cosy sofa type chairs and an area where people can sit at a bar and login their laptops, so this is a place where you can have a leisurely meal.
Again I was drawn to the all day breakfast. Somehow eating breakfast at night has really taken my fancy of late as I don't eat a proper breakfast unless on holiday, so eating a hot breakfast revokes pleasant memories.
Husband went for 3 courses, lobster bisque, king prawns on pasta and a banoffee pie. All were really good and we dug into the banoffee pie. Though I don't normally like banana, I found the toffee part and base of the pie really delicious. I think this is one of their most popular cakes.
Daughter 1 went for a Ratatouille Omelette and then shared a Bouilabaise with daughter 2. The Bouilabase came in a thick sauce and not like a broth as you would find in French restaurants but the seafood were all really fresh, even the most boring fish was soft and succulent.
Daughter 2 had Mussels in White Wine Sauce. The sauce was really nice as were the mussels, however the mussels were really small inside big shells. She also ordered cheese and spinach ravioli which she said was good. I believe her as that is one of the dishes she always orders.
Then we ordered a piece of NY cheesecake to share and found it delicious. Not as good as Roxy in New York where the cheesecake is so thick and rich that it took 4 of us to eat one piece. This had a good taste of cheese, quick thick and had the feel of an authentic NY cheesecake.
Our meal was typical of that of a Chinese family having a Western meal with lots of sharing and tasting of each others dishes. So again it was a nice evening out for us. We were not put off with the not too slick service where you keep having to remind the waiters, what happened to the bread that was meant to come with soup and did you take down that order for the lemonade ?

This entry has to jump the queue! Been to the Brunch Club and Supper twice before and tonight I was here for the 3rd visit looking for some desserts. I ordered a Lemon & Sugar Waffles. By the name of it, it seemed normal enough right? Well, apparently it should have been Waffles with Lemon and Sugar instead! I understand that there is a similar traditional English dish called Lemon & Sugar Pancakes whereby sugar icing is added along with a few slices of lemon on the side. However, I did not expect my Lemon & Sugar Waffle to come with only traces of icing, big slices of cocktail lemons and .... yes and a sugar container of packaged sugar (for coffee and tea)! (Fine! I will give them the credit that they use Fairtrade white sugar stick) The packaged sugar container was served together with the waffles and the staff clearly informed me that "here is the sugar for your waffles."
What on earth was I suppose to do with them? Sprinkle some of those white sugar on top? or some brown coffee sugar crystals? or wait, maybe some Equal Sugar Sweetener? Afterall, all three options were there for me to pick! Was it just my problem concerning the use of packaged sugar for this particular dessert? Feel free to enlighten me, please!
Dislikes: Pretty self explanatory am I right?

I was honestly disappointed with their food and quality of service.
This was my first visit to their CWB store, and I heard its much more spacious and comfy. it's true that its bigger, but it seems its less organized than the Soho restaurant... we made reservations for brunch, but they couldnt offer a table for us when we arrived, and had to wait more than 20 mins.
The menu is the same as the one at Soho, but the food and drinks taste totally different. The smoothie didnt have enough taste to it, and was quite watery. The eggs and has browns were so oily it left a pool of oil on the plate. The omelets arent the traditional omelets, and basically have scrambled eggs covered up your selected ingredients, and over a soggy bread. The only thing that tasted good was the walnut bread...
Overall, I dont think it was worth the money (around $100/person).
There are only a few things in life worth a second try, and for me, one of the very few turns out to be food. After my previous experience at the Brunch Club @ CWB, I decided to give it another try because (1) there is just a lack of other options for similar brunch in Hong Kong and (2) I do have high hopes for this franchise so I do hope there would be some improvement in all aspects of things. However, the booking management remains a chaos! I booked my table near the window 5 days in advance but I was assigned one at the very end of the dining hall. Of course I objected so I waited for one at least CLOSER to the window. Why am I so keen on the windows seat? It was because during my last visit, we were refused of those seats due to prior booking so why can't we book it accordingly? Anyhow, to solve this booking chaos, I serious think that they should just forget about the booking system and apply the first come first serve rule!
O yes, later in the evening while chilling out at Pacific Coffee, I came across a restaurant review on this place from the current issue of Time Out Hong Kong Magazine and the following description caught my undivided attention:
... the truly best thing about brunch is not being in a rush, instead you’re free to lounge around, read the newspaper, and catch up on gossip ... [and] if you’ve approached brunch in the correct manner – several hours should have passed since your arrival. - Time Out Hong Kong
I really cannot stop myself from laughing after reading the above passage because such scenario just can't happen, maybe possible on a weekday, but not possible on a lovely Sunday afternoon when brunch is supposed to be enjoyed. We were constantly being rushed to finish and each table seem to have a time limit (and the lime limit depends on what time you arrive and when the next booking for your specific table is scheduled!) Don't even talk about reading a book, I doubt one would have enough time to complete the first few sections of the Sunday paper! Maybe the reviewer from Time Out Hong Kong got some special treatments or arrived at 4pm (we arrived at 1:30pm which I think was a common brunch time), but I certainly was not allowed to enjoy such a brunch in the correct manner for my two visits so far. Anyhow, time to get back to the food aspect of my visit.
(1) Omelettes (Egg White w/ Tomato, Onion & Mushrooms) I tried a bit of this omelette and it was decent (compared with the Spanish omelette I ordered). The ingredients were all tugged inside the omelette and the egg white was not overcooked. Flavors of the mushrooms blended well with the egg white and onion as well. A fair dish but one with a very oily harsh brown (see next item).
(2) Omelettes (Spanish) Spanish omelettes consist of bell peppers, onions & tomatoes. From the look of dish it looked alright but once you cut it open, problems start to flood out, literally. It was watery not just because the eggs were not properly cooked, it was also the mixture of ingredients that seem to be generating a lot of moisture making the omeletts so watery! I rather eat it with a spoon! Another issue I have with this dish was the way how the ingredients were prepared. They were sliced instead of being diced into small cubes. That is usual way to do prepare it if I am correct. (unless it is a baked Spanish Omelettes then it would be different I guess) Disappointing ! o yes, did I mention that the harsh brown was floating? yes, floating on top of a pool of yellowish liquid I like to call OIL or GREASE if you like. Ask for a paper towel to soak up the oil if you like. (3) Two eggs and two toppings on toast This item was basically a pick your own items kind of dish and it looked pretty nice. I did not try any but it did not look greasy or watery at all.
(4) Pancakes Just from the look of it, one thing for sure was that the pancakes were made from those machines instead of free-hand pan-fried. The pancakes were alright while still hot but more syrup would be nice. Not a big fan of pancakes but I still prefer the bigger IHOP style pancakes than these mini-pancakes. Likes:
* Omelettes (Egg White w/ Tomato, Onion & Mushrooms) - it was alright compared with other items * I guess the decor and environment are still a plus for this place (but honestly, more and more disappointments are driving me away from this place - maybe there some meals not worth a second attempt? hmmm)
Dislikes:
* Booking management remains a chaos! * Omelettes (Spanish) - watery ! and ingredients were sliced instead of diced. * Harsh Brown - happily floating on a pool of oil on my dish ...
Avg Spending: HKD 100 - 200 per person

Having been to the Brunch Club @ Soho, I can't help myself but go try out the Brunch Club CWB outlet. It was located on the second floor and leading up to it is a long stairways of what I like to call "lofty" style. Even the interior of the restaurant gives you that lofty feeling especially its walls which are half torn showing the red bricks underneath. (Well, I think those red bricks are planted there intentionally to give that lofty atmosphere because bricks are not common building materials in Hong Kong) I really like this environment especially on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere of a place is equally important as the quality of the food in my opinion.
This outlet is definitely bigger and more comfortable than the Soho one. Tables are more spacious and there is a swing chair of some sort at the rear end of the restaurant. We arrived there around 12:30pm and it was about half full. Although there were plenty of empty seats around, we were surprised to find that many were under reservation and many of the seats required us to leave before certain time. What I found most interesting was that among the other available non-window seats, someone actually made a specific reservation for the specific table which is beside a cement column? humm ... so whoever made this specific reservation will not even take an available windows seats but instead the cement column table? O well, who am I to judge, I was just surprised why we were asked to finish at a certain time when there were at least 3 tables available even for walk-in customers. Anyhow, I guess I will book in advance next time for a nice Sunday brunch. (1) Eggs Benedict (smoked Salmon) Since I ordered Mix Grill last time at the Soho outlet, I decided to order something new to try. The portion was rather generous and it came with a harsh brown and some salad on the side. Poached eggs were well prepared with plenty of liquid yoke remained inside. Timing is very important for poached eggs and I think they did a pretty good job with it. As for the hollandaise, while it was creamy, it was rather light in flavors. Overall a fair dish indeed. Another thing I almost forgot to add, the harsh brown was a bit too chunky and hard which was likely a result of being over-fried / overcooked in my opinion. (2) Hong Kong Dog Rescue Sandwich What an interesting name for a dish. It consisted of Avocado, Norwegian Smoked Salmon, cucumbers and mayo on homemade herb focaccia. Even with the dish in front of me, I was still confused as to why it was named as such. It basically looked just like any other focaccia sandwich.
(3) Chocolate and Banana Crepes What would be better than to have some sweets after a meal. My friend ordered this chocolate and banana crepes but we were both shocked when it was served. Shock might be too strong a word but the presentation of the crepes was definitely not what we were expecting. All the chocolate and banana slices were on top of the crepes instead of inside. The only reason I can think of is because of the lesser time and effort required to do it this way. Such presentation and method of preparation reminds me of Superman ... with his red underwear outside his tights! Almost forgot to mention that the crepes was rather thick as well. Definitely not their best dessert and I do hope I am right too. Disappointing.
(4) Strawberries French Toast with Yogurt I ordered something different, something I now hope I did not order. The diced strawberries, the strawberry sauce and the plain yogurt were very Sour, Sour and Sour respectively. Basically the whole dessert was very citrus, too citrus in my opinion. I really don't know how else I can describe it.
太座吃的"Brunch Club Croque-Monsieur"之特色在於舖在雙層香草foccacia之上的那層白色mousse狀的物體。這店方稱之為"Bechamel sauce"的"醬料"，原來是以蛋白混入芝士做出來的mousse，吃落口感很輕盈，有着薄薄的芝味但不算十分的膩口，是從前沒有吃過的美味火腿片跟自己的mix grill內的是屬同一種類別，配合foccacia同吃，也很可口呈三角形的薯餅新鮮現炸，熱辣辣之餘薯味亦足，吃得太座不亦樂乎.....

偶然發現的好地方
剛到達發現環境不錯, 還有一些位置是大梳發, 不過我想要訂位才行.
我們看餐牌時, 當然不缺它的招牌”Brunch”, 選擇真的有很多. 但我們還是點了它的”set dinner”. 而然選擇也有很多, 前菜都有五款給你選擇.
我們選了smoke salmon salad, 鵝肝, 凍鴨肉配白酒啫喱, 及帶子配黑魚子醬. 除了沙律比較普通, 其他的都不錯, 主菜的話, 繪羊膝及蕃茄繪海鮮拼盆都很不錯, 特別是海鮮, 很新鮮, 青口的肉非常嫩. 甜品有兩個選擇, 藍莓芝士蛋糕及香蕉拖肥批, 蛋糕普通, 但香焦批很不錯, 餅底非常鬆脆, 雖然拖肥有點甜, 但配香焦及奶油很美味. 若這兩款甜品都不喜歡, 可以加錢要幾他也可以. 絻對值得再去.

not good

xmas dinner
一直都想到brunch club試試.
開頭到都冇乜人, 仲心諗其實唔訂位都得,
點知會越夜越多人, 所以提議如果係黎食就打個電話book位.
anyways.
間餐廳好靚, d decoration好簡單, 好plain.
燈光有d暗, 幾romantic.
感覺好舒服~ 唔錯~
一入門口就有個雜誌架, 不過d雜誌唔係俾客人睇, 係賣既~
講下點菜啦~
個menu其實有好多野, 有d眼花...
佢每個dish都可以有幾個唔同既version, 好似可以配唔同既意粉, 唔同煮法既蛋...
我睇得耐其實有d煩~ :p
唔理喇,
叫啦~
(有2個waiters識講中文, 1個講英文既~)
我地3個人叫左
1. carbonara (配angel hair)
夠creamy. 不過唔夠多芝士~
同埋細碟左dd~
同埋要熱食, 一凍就唔好味!
2. pesto sauce with prawns (配linguine)
呢個dish有6隻蝦~
都幾多丫~ 同埋d蝦係fresh既, 冇霉味~ 唔錯!
個pesto sauce ok, 不過唔夠個carbonara好味~
可能呢個既味比較淡~
不過都good既~
3. mix grill
黎到唔可以唔叫一個早餐!
唔叫對唔住自己~
一係唔叫, 一叫就叫有最多野個set~!
呢個mix grill真係乜都有: tomato, baked beans, scrambled eggs (我自己唔鐘意poached eggs... 一定要食scrambled eggs!), bacon, chicken breast, ham, pork sausage, fried onions, toast.
好豐富, 正!
好大碟啊~
味道唔錯, 每樣野都要d, 食得好開心~
4. belgian chocolate & bananas (配pancakes)
食完dinner, 唔可以冇甜品.
本來想要點cakes, 但是日d蛋糕都唔吸引,
所以就叫呢個pancakes.
一上台就已經覺得佢好靚~
不過食落就普通. 唔係好味到會留下好深既印象~
雖然已經食完, 但係我地仲坐左好耐, 反正佢都冇趕我地走.
我地幾個都覺得, 去呢到仲好過去d樓上cafe.
野又好食d同好飲d, 坐又坐得舒服, 又冇油煙或煙味.
仲唔會有人趕~
個feel又好~
一致決定以後要去傾計, 就會再黎呢到~

可以再有下次
Long Black & Mocha
第一次去，之前見到Open Rice 上有好多意見，所以要睇晒成個餐牌先下決定。最後叫咗一個Set Lunch ($88) 同Set Normal (Bacon Sandwich) with egg ($62) 另加兩條腸 (+15)。Set Lunch有Seafood salad 、Steak with photo同 drink，Set Lunch 唔可以跟 Hot Chocolate，於是叫咗 杯Mocha同 Long Black ($30). 再加埋Set Lunch加$5有Mango Mousse Cake，值得一試。
可能係我地一早叫咗，兩杯咖啡未食就上枱，食到後段已經凍晒
Seafood salad 賣相唔錯
Bacon Sandwich麵包烘得啱啱好，整體味道唔錯。
Mango Mousse Cake好香嘅芝士味中帶淡淡芒果味，好食。餅底較軟，如果硬啲會仲好味。
食物嘅水準比預期中满意，一定會再試

唔記得朋友叫左咩野食...
我會想食 All day breakfast..
係因為上次(又係同中女朋友
食到個roast tomato..好好食..
所以先食試下其他野整得係咪一樣..
um..感覺還可以..
可能上次食係第一次..
印象分贏哂..
不過佢個蛋整得好好食...

食 brunch 做 dinner
全餐最好係環境
糖水太多, otherwise 幾好飲
eggs benedict with gammon ham
其實係 standard 三文治餡料
又關 dog rescue 乜事? 改個咁嘅名 @_@"
留意咗呢度好耐了, 朋友食過舊鋪又話「ok 0架」, 趁今日收工後「下場」喺跑馬地, dinner 要輕食又要近近哋到禮頓道搞掂, 又上嚟試試.
Lemon and sugar crepe 賣相 hea 到無朋友, 食味就認真差勁 -- crepe 皮又厚又乾又凍冰冰, "sugar" 不翼而飛, 只見好似亂咁灑的少量 icing, 唯有自行再落點 drinks 用的砂糖, 再唧檸檬汁吧. 感覺係零誠意的一味, 10 個 thumbs down!
Pineapple smoothie 溶得幾快
主食揀了 "Hong Kong Dog Rescue Sandwich": 麵包用 tomato foccacia, 濕濕的; 餡料有 smoked salmon, avocado, 青瓜及 mayo, 味道可能預計; 唯一叫做值得一讚就係夠 smoked 又嫩滑的 smoked salmon, 不過應該係來貨? -_-"
On the side 有一件 hashbrown, 呢個反而幾好 -- 勁脆, 唔油膩, 薯肉夠香, 幾好食.
朋友食 eggs benedict with gammon ham... 試了一啖, 水煮蛋汁夠多, 但蛋香一般, 而且唔係落了 Hollandise sauce 0架咩, 點解食唔出的? 同 Flying Pan 比, 差好多條街喎!
食物一般, 環境就輕鬆 casual 舒服, 近門口幅牆好靚呢
每人 $120 埋單, 失望而回, 唔抵, $120 當食裝修吧.

侍應
好大個
味道都不錯
薯角非常新鮮香脆
頭盆
新鮮，但味道略淡，好在有醬汁及沙律配住食
湯
少少 "杰 "身，都ok。麵包好普通
主菜
in tomota salsa
但名好長，其實都是香煎三文魚配蘆筍薯茸
三文魚煎得好香脆，尚算肉嫩，但份量好似略略少了點
賣相仲好靚
甜品
一般，不算好好，Pie皮不太香脆，甜了點
Set Dinner 個主菜份量細DD。但價錢尚算合理。環境都OK，還吸引到好多
女仕們光顧，不過冷氣不夠。但侍應就不夠細心，由坐下至離開前，水杯內
的水飲完好幾次，但都是不有人過來添加

夜晚食「Brunch」
Deep fried soft shell crab with salad
Duck meat terrine on toast with sweet wine jelly
Caesar salad with poached eggs & smoked salmon
Wild mushrooms risotto with chicken in cream sauce
Prawns angel hair with homemade pesto sauce
Chocolate pancake
Strawberry pancake
Deep fried soft shell crab with salad in mango yogurt：炸軟殼蟹腍了，唔脆。沙律OK。
Duck meat terrine on toast with sweet wine jelly：鴨肉terrine幾香幾好食，濃郁嘅味道和清淡嘅wine jelly成對比。
Caesar salad with poached eggs, bacon bits & smoked salmon：standard配料及味道。較喜歡的是滑滑的poached eggs。
Wild mushrooms risotto with chicken in cream sauce：cream sauce味道唔算太濃，質感亦不會太黏，配合煙韌嘅意大利飯及清香嘅蘑菇，味道不錯。
Prawns angel hair with homemade pesto sauce：整碟意粉的味道，主要在於pesto汁，都幾好食吖！
Chocolate & strawberry pancakes：普普通通。

O yes, later in the evening while chilling out at Pacific Coffee, I came across a restaurant review on this place from the current issue of Time Out Hong Kong Magazine and the following description caught my undivided attention:
... the truly best thing about brunch is not being in a rush, instead you’re free to lounge around, read the newspaper, and catch up on gossip ... [and] if you’ve approached brunch in the correct manner – several hours should have passed since your arrival. - Time Out Hong Kong
I really cannot stop myself from laughing after reading the above passage because such scenario just can't happen, maybe possible on a weekday, but not possible on a lovely Sunday afternoon when brunch is supposed to be enjoyed. We were constantly being rushed to finish and each table seem to have a time limit (and the lime limit depends on what time you arrive and when the next booking for your specific table is scheduled!) Don't even talk about reading a book, I doubt one would have enough time to complete the first few sections of the Sunday paper! Maybe the reviewer from Time Out Hong Kong got some special treatments or arrived at 4pm (we arrived at 1:30pm which I think was a common brunch time), but I certainly was not allowed to enjoy such a brunch in the correct manner for my two visits so far. Anyhow, time to get back to the food aspect of my visit.
(1) Omelettes (Egg White w/ Tomato, Onion & Mushrooms)
I tried a bit of this omelette and it was decent (compared with the Spanish omelette I ordered). The ingredients were all tugged inside the omelette and the egg white was not overcooked. Flavors of the mushrooms blended well with the egg white and onion as well. A fair dish but one with a very oily harsh brown (see next item).
(2) Omelettes (Spanish)
Spanish omelettes consist of bell peppers, onions & tomatoes. From the look of dish it looked alright but once you cut it open, problems start to flood out, literally. It was watery not just because the eggs were not properly cooked, it was also the mixture of ingredients that seem to be generating a lot of moisture making the omeletts so watery! I rather eat it with a spoon! Another issue I have with this dish was the way how the ingredients were prepared. They were sliced instead of being diced into small cubes. That is usual way to do prepare it if I am correct. (unless it is a baked Spanish Omelettes then it would be different I guess) Disappointing ! o yes, did I mention that the harsh brown was floating? yes, floating on top of a pool of yellowish liquid I like to call OIL or GREASE if you like. Ask for a paper towel to soak up the oil if you like.
(3) Two eggs and two toppings on toast
This item was basically a pick your own items kind of dish and it looked pretty nice. I did not try any but it did not look greasy or watery at all.
(4) Pancakes
Just from the look of it, one thing for sure was that the pancakes were made from those machines instead of free-hand pan-fried. The pancakes were alright while still hot but more syrup would be nice. Not a big fan of pancakes but I still prefer the bigger IHOP style pancakes than these mini-pancakes.
Likes:
* Omelettes (Egg White w/ Tomato, Onion & Mushrooms) - it was alright compared with other items
* I guess the decor and environment are still a plus for this place (but honestly, more and more disappointments are driving me away from this place - maybe there some meals not worth a second attempt? hmmm)
Dislikes:
* Booking management remains a chaos!
* Omelettes (Spanish) - watery ! and ingredients were sliced instead of diced.
* Harsh Brown - happily floating on a pool of oil on my dish ...
Avg Spending: HKD 100 - 200 per person

Brunch Club & Supper
(1) Eggs Benedict (Smoked Salmon)
(2) Hong Kong Dog Rescue Sandwich
(3) Chocolate and Banana Crepes
(4) Strawberries French Toast with Yogurt
This outlet is definitely bigger and more comfortable than the Soho one. Tables are more spacious and there is a swing chair of some sort at the rear end of the restaurant. We arrived there around 12:30pm and it was about half full. Although there were plenty of empty seats around, we were surprised to find that many were under reservation and many of the seats required us to leave before certain time. What I found most interesting was that among the other available non-window seats, someone actually made a specific reservation for the specific table which is beside a cement column? humm ... so whoever made this specific reservation will not even take an available windows seats but instead the cement column table? O well, who am I to judge, I was just surprised why we were asked to finish at a certain time when there were at least 3 tables available even for walk-in customers. Anyhow, I guess I will book in advance next time for a nice Sunday brunch.
(1) Eggs Benedict (smoked Salmon)
Since I ordered Mix Grill last time at the Soho outlet, I decided to order something new to try. The portion was rather generous and it came with a harsh brown and some salad on the side. Poached eggs were well prepared with plenty of liquid yoke remained inside. Timing is very important for poached eggs and I think they did a pretty good job with it. As for the hollandaise, while it was creamy, it was rather light in flavors. Overall a fair dish indeed. Another thing I almost forgot to add, the harsh brown was a bit too chunky and hard which was likely a result of being over-fried / overcooked in my opinion.
(2) Hong Kong Dog Rescue Sandwich
What an interesting name for a dish. It consisted of Avocado, Norwegian Smoked Salmon, cucumbers and mayo on homemade herb focaccia. Even with the dish in front of me, I was still confused as to why it was named as such. It basically looked just like any other focaccia sandwich.
(3) Chocolate and Banana Crepes
What would be better than to have some sweets after a meal. My friend ordered this chocolate and banana crepes but we were both shocked when it was served. Shock might be too strong a word but the presentation of the crepes was definitely not what we were expecting. All the chocolate and banana slices were on top of the crepes instead of inside. The only reason I can think of is because of the lesser time and effort required to do it this way. Such presentation and method of preparation reminds me of Superman ... with his red underwear outside his tights! Almost forgot to mention that the crepes was rather thick as well. Definitely not their best dessert and I do hope I am right too. Disappointing.
(4) Strawberries French Toast with Yogurt
I ordered something different, something I now hope I did not order. The diced strawberries, the strawberry sauce and the plain yogurt were very Sour, Sour and Sour respectively. Basically the whole dessert was very citrus, too citrus in my opinion. I really don't know how else I can describe it.
Likes:
* Decor / Atmosphere
* Eggs Benedict (smoked Salmon)
Dislikes:
* Overly citrus Strawberries French Toast with Yogurt
* Rather noisy when full (around 1:30pm)
* Interesting booking / reservation arrangement.

中午hea一hea
hea的好地方
minestrone
餐包
燒鴨胸
煎三文魚扒
熱咖啡
簡單而舒適的一間上樓鋪，氣氛輕鬆，是很好hea的地方。中午的Lunch set有三款，價錢由$68至$88不等，收費合理。頭盤可選湯或沙律，大家都揀左飲湯，主菜我選了鴨胸，對方吃三文魚扒。
餐包只有一款，沒有選擇，是法包，頗脆口，尤其是邊位，再塗上香滑的牛油，收貨；Minestrone有濃郁蕃茄味，什菜份量豐富，酸甜度剛好，挺有風味。
鴨胸是燒的做法，並不是煙燻，相對會香口一些。鴨皮燒至香脆，肉也入味，只嫌肉質稍韌了一點。伴碟的薯仔粒，質感較粉，不過薯仔味也重，幾好吃的。印象更深刻的是韭菜花，爽脆香口，沒有渣，是很稱職的配角。
對方的三文魚扒，厚厚魚肉是粉紅色的，誘人，我也忍不住嚐了一點。果然，肉質是相當嫩滑，很怕吃太熟的魚扒，因太嚡口，這裡的火侯控制得好，完全沒有這問題。據報薯茸也是香濃好味。
餐後一杯熱咖啡，香濃順喉，最欣賞係奶是暖的，不用影響咖啡的溫度。微小的細節，很多地方會忽略，這裡就留意得到，可見店方是用心制作。飲完一杯咖啡，好像特別醒神，未知是否上了癮。
最批評的是出餐速度太慢，等了廿多分鐘才有主菜吃，對於我等午飯時間的打工仔來說，是大忌。原本只加$5可以吃到的朱古力撻，也因為沒有時間而被迫放棄，造成雙輸的局面。
每人平均$90，午飯來說不算便宜，但係食物質素有番咁上下，我認為物有所值，偶爾來吃一餐也無妨。

雖很漏，但很滿足....
除了有all-day breakfast供應之外，晚上還有three-course的set dinner吃。但一心來吃美式大件頭早餐的我，這所謂的晚市套餐是完全沒有放在眼簾底下的。要吃這些在普通西餐廳也能叫得到的套餐，是真的沒啥意思，故此一坐下來就叫了包羅萬有的Mix Grill。太太對着餐牌參詳了好一會，若叫多一份mix grill的話就一定吃剩的，叫份sandwich試試似乎比較合適.....
兩隻 egg benedict 、white multigrain toast、火腿片、煙肉、雞胸、豬肉腸，再加上焗蕃茄、炒洋葱及焗豆，吃完後無論是膽固醇抑或是脂肪都一定是"爆晒燈"
煙肉帶脆但欠焦香；薄切火腿帶些鹹香，不過跟煙肉一般，是同樣缺乏了那股燶焦的香氣；雞胸沒有如想像的嚡口，而且醃得蠻夠味的，很不錯；Pork sausage雖然只有手指頭那樣的長，但肉及香草味夠濃夠重，只有短短的一條，不夠喉
吃這些東西最好是伴啤酒而吃，但是夜酒沒有了，有的只是一杯冰凍的cranberry juice，叫做聊勝於無啦
太座吃的"Brunch Club Croque-Monsieur"之特色在於舖在雙層香草foccacia之上的那層白色mousse狀的物體。這店方稱之為"Bechamel sauce"的"醬料"，原來是以蛋白混入芝士做出來的mousse，吃落口感很輕盈，有着薄薄的芝味但不算十分的膩口，是從前沒有吃過的美味
找次來吃個早餐或lunch，邊看看雜誌邊吃着這些"junk food"，乃人生一大樂事也
