Debailleul,看起來像一個法國名字,其實這是來自比利時的品牌,主打的是以人手製的朱古力及多款賣相獨特的甜品榚點,亦贊助多個世界級體育盛事如 F1、法網等,漸漸打響了名堂。這間位於商場 open area 的分店,隱身於一眾名牌時裝店之間,稍不留神便會與之擦身而過,氣氛高貴卻又玩低調,甚有性格。價錢方面則比想像中便宜,tea set 包一杯熱飲及四塊“Biscuits” ,竟只需五十元,誰說名牌必定是高消費的活動?
Debailleul is a very world famous chocolate/sweets shop which has surprisingly received little acclamation or press coverage in Hong Kong - with a low key entry hidden under the escalators, with hardly any customers here. Although having seen many of their shops in Tokyo and which are always packed, even I did not realise until lately that 2 of their chefs have won numerous awards internationally. The main owner Marc Debailleul is actually French, although the company is known to be a Belgian one (can't figure that one out).
The Chocolates with Ganache are very good indeed. The ganache chocolates are as good as Debauve & Gallais, and better than the direct competition such as Jean Paul Hevin, La Maison Du Chocolat, Agnes b. Delices, Valrhona, Leonidas, Godiva, etc. They're not too sweet here, which often overpowers the chocolate coating and ganaches. The dark chocolates here are quite good as well, very similar to the Debauve and Gallais version although my main preference is still the Jean Paul Hevin Dark Chocolates, which are amazing.
However, despite the famed name - the experience was partially disastrous. The Macarons we order, were actually not stored very well - they were so wet from bad defrosting, that the top was too soft and inedible. As such, even if the Macarons were 'probably' of a very high standard, it was impossible to rate them fairly due to this batch's problem. Similarly, a chocolate crumble with apple tart was also too moist and not edible, despite looking presentable. These were waived from the bill as there were clearly signs of damages. Not good.
What do I come here for? Definitely the coffee. The Italian blended coffee from Napoli is very special indeed, with multiple layers of complexity that is unlike anything else in Hong Kong. Its great for both milk coffees as well as Espressos, although in the espresso it might be a bit too strong to detect the multiple-layers hidden beneath - not helped by the fact that these imported coffees aren't as fresh as locally roasted ones. Whereas competitions like CREMA might have a more fresher, red fruitier based espresso roast, here, it is much more complicated than that. Would love to try them when they're closer to the fresh state! Behind these imported packages of coffee, lies a very sophisticated coffee blend far beyond anything else I've tried in Hong Kong.
The tall barista with glasses here is very good as well, definitely one of the best I've seen in HK, with good 'accurate' latte art skills. When he's not here, other people making the coffee however don't do justice to the coffee like he does.
Unfortunately on my last visit, the milk in the coffee was a bit 'so so dei', a problem that I've also encountered at CREMA on the last 2 visits - it was overpowering the coffee base a bit. If you're lucky however - this is an EQUAL 1st Coffee Experience in Hong Kong for me. Behind the objective review however - I personally rate this as my no.1 preferred coffee in Hong Kong ! However, it can have flaws sometimes.
K san suggested to have a drink and I remembered the famous chocolate here. So after buying chocolate, we directly went to this open area cafe.
I ordered Iced chocolate ($38): Very rich taste of chocolate even some ice had been added to it. 朱古力很滑, good!
K san ordered Mocha ($33): Haha I forced him to order some chocolate related drink as I knew he would pick coffee. The waiter made him a heart shaped cream mocha. 咖啡味很濃,亦有朱古力味,Good!But we both think that Agnes b cafe was much better.
The cake and ice-cream looked very nice but we didn’t order any~ Next time maybe we should try.
Haha hea for 1.5 hours here, talking stupid things, but really quite relax sitting here.

怪怪果醬朱古力~~
幾次經過這間開放式的咖啡店都未有一試,今次就一試清楚。
一坐下,staff就即刻過來招呼,於是叫了一個tea set (latte + 4件餅 )。
Latte:Latte art 的圖案形狀夠突出及明顯,面層的奶泡普遍都打得好幼細。整杯咖啡的溫度係暖身的,不過礙於商場較低的室溫影響,咖啡軟快轉冷,建議先享用咖啡。談到味道方面,此杯的咖啡味比重教高,咖啡容易入口,喝下去令口腔有著一陣甘甘的味道,after taste 不錯。
biscuits : 很不幸地吃中左那怪怪果醬朱古力(近鏡)

咖啡狂熱七之 妹仔大過主人婆
在海港城名店環抱的這所咖啡店
陳列的蛋糕及甜點也多
用上Wega的自動咖啡機
紅莓巧克力蛋糕的紅莓果醬味道來得很不自然
與女友來到尖沙咀,又到近下午四時,又是嘆杯咖啡的時候了,與女友來了在海港城名店環抱的這所咖啡店,怎料到要排隊等位,但既然盛興而來,又焦謂勝興而歸,畢竟今天都不太忙。
在等位的時候,有機會看着店員弄Espresso,咖啡由一位中等身形沒帶眼鏡的一位男仕沖煮,見他手法純熟,裝好了咖啡粉後,也有掃除多餘的咖啡粉,讓其邊位沒有沾上任何咖啡粉,然後也會將盛咖啡粉的瀘器垂直的在桌上敲打數次,以增加咖啡粉的密度,之後才用Tamper壓下咖啡粉,可是在最後這個步驟好像是有點馬虎,沒有用強大的手腕力去再壓實一點,但相信至少做得七成足了,在香港也是難得。
也等了近五至十分鐘才有位,可能真的是下午茶時段吧,好不容易坐好之後,就快快的點吃了,此處的下午茶套餐可分成三款,六十五元的是蛋糕餐,包一杯咖啡及一件蛋糕,另外六十元的會有兩件petit fours及一杯咖啡,而最便宜的是五十元一個的Biscuit餐,可選 macaroon及包一杯咖啡,最後要了一個蛋糕餐,然後再加杯例要喝的Double Espresso。
先來的是蛋糕,今天指定的款式是紅莓巧克力蛋糕,此蛋糕雖然細細的,但竟也分成六層,真的非常精細,分別是面層薄薄的紅莓果醬,下一層是厚厚的巧克力慕斯醬,再下是一層薄薄的開心果醬,再一層薄的紅莓果醬,然後在到底部的餅底前,再來多一層較薄的巧克力慕斯醬,另在面頭有三粒的開心果,與女友用叉子分吃,入口的時候是有點百味交雜,紅莓果醬的酸沖擊着巧克力的甜,紅莓果的味道來得很不自然,雖未至於是藥水,但予人不太舒適的感覺,而巧克力慕斯也不是如想像中濃厚,跟紅莓的配合更是格格不入,反為開心果醬又香滑又有開心果果香,加上鬆化的餅底,若以開心果醬完全取代紅莓果醬,味道會是更妙。
之後我的Double Espresso也來了,雖然是在此悠閒的咖啡店,但喝Espresso,也真的最好是喝得越快越好,最好能在三十秒內解決它就最好了,而今天的這杯Double Espresso,Crema層厚厚,顏色在啡之中帶點棕紅色,是標準的Crema,用匙羹舀一羹來看,真的是不得了,很濃稠而足有咖啡整體的四份一容量,繼上回在Initial Café之後,又一極厚Crema之作,所以喝起來有着咖啡脂的幼滑美味,而且甘醇芳香,脂香及咖啡的After-taste不斷的在口中迴盪,加上其shot size非常適中,而且溫度夠熱,咖啡帶丁點明亮果香味,教我忍不住不斷用上匙羹在猛索,鼻子及口腔同時充滿咖啡香,是一杯很是新鮮的Espresso。
女友喝的是Café Latte,拉有一個亮麗的心形拉花,面層薄薄的奶泡非常幼滑,其奶泡面層一點大泡也沒有,甚至連小泡也只一丁點,而且真的挺反光,Steamed Milk確是打得不錯,而其咖啡味也挺明顯,甘味偏強,溫度夠高,咖啡喝起來帶點奶香,可是咖啡層喝起來就不夠滑及挺,較像是Cappuccino的咖啡層,但也可能是咖啡豆Style的問題吧,用上了重烘焙而成更Smoky的感覺,而總括來說也很是不錯。
另外跟Espresso送來一片巧克力,是此品牌最出名的物事,但今天反而成了配角,而其味道雖然好,巧克力味道不薄之下,又夠滑身,當中帶了點非常幼細的果仁碎,是好吃的,但個人還是那杯Double Espresso大印象一點。

朱古力大滿足
仍有很多款式想試
Debailleul,看起來像一個法國名字,其實這是來自比利時的品牌,主打的是以人手製的朱古力及多款賣相獨特的甜品榚點,亦贊助多個世界級體育盛事如 F1、法網等,漸漸打響了名堂。這間位於商場 open area 的分店,隱身於一眾名牌時裝店之間,稍不留神便會與之擦身而過,氣氛高貴卻又玩低調,甚有性格。價錢方面則比想像中便宜,tea set 包一杯熱飲及四塊“Biscuits” ,竟只需五十元,誰說名牌必定是高消費的活動?
此店以朱古力聞名,理所當然要了 Chocolate Espresso 及 Mocha,前者是一小杯濃度加倍的朱古力漿,入口香甜豐富,當中味道有一定的持久力,在口腔揮之不去,給人一種滿口幸福的感覺;後者亦不普通,心形拉花賣相討好,其味道充份融合了朱古力的甜及咖啡的甘香,絕不澀口,是「一加一大過二」的享受,十分滿意。“Biscuits” 其實是四塊形狀不一的朱古力片,單是心思已值得鼓勵,咬落甜度恰到好處,內藏的 nuts 入口鬆化,是品味咖啡的最佳拍檔。
晚上商場人流不多,環境清靜,足足歎了近三十分鐘,實在舒服得很,可惜歡樂時間過得非常快,店員已開始準備收鋪,只好識趣的埋單走人。寫這篇食評時看到食友太公推介的榛子朱古力蛋糕,賣相甚是吸引,好,下次再來試這個吧!

酒店價 水準高
不過, 味道比很多酒店的還要好吃! 很值(抵就一定不是)。
水準極高, 不是一般餅店能吃到的。
蛋糕很夠凍, 外皮軟硬適中, 一吃的時候還以為在吃雪糕, 口感很rich, 楱子很幼滑。
甜而不漏, 捧極了!!!! (味道達6分)
貴得有道理。

失望雪糕
被cake吸引住下,想轉軑坐底食tea set ($60)之際,店員聽到我要雪糕拎走,她對我投以奇怪眼光,我便立刻無意坐下
賣相無預期靚,Macaron OK好食,雖是70%朱古力,但我覺得似焦糖味囉。又好o趙口,唔似食緊Macaron。Macaron都係Jean-Paul Hevin No.1
雪糕更失望!呍哩拿雖有呍哩拿籽,但一點呍哩拿香也沒有,只有甜味!
朱古力那球好d,朱古力味都幾ok,不過未見濃郁。
食慣gelato,呢d只屬極普通質素的雪糕而已。

Lovely Antoinettes!!
個set跟一杯hot tea/coffee, 要左個熱cappuccino
antoinettes有朱古力, 開心果, rasberry味等幾個choice, 要左前兩者
星期六既下午好多人, 幸好仲有一張吉枱, 坐低一陣antoinettes就首先送上~
chocolate antoinette: 最上面係一層薄朱古力漿加一小塊薄朱古力片, 之後上半部就係朱古力mousse, 好滑, 本身朱古力可可既濃度唔高, 但係下半部既粒粒香梨果肉係屬於清甜系, 令到mousse既朱古力味好突出, 包住d果肉既係一層鬆軟既撻皮, 增加左成個小甜品既口感
pistachio antoinette: 上面變左做淡黃既開心果味甜漿, 頂部有d開心果仁碎, 包住既係比較淡既開心果味雪糕, 冰涼滑溜, 下半部變左做半溶既朱古力, 濃濃既朱古力跟略帶甜香既開心果形成強烈對比, 再加上下面充滿牛油味既撻皮
cappuccino: 好靚既心形latte art, 用上可可粉打陰影~泡打得很幼滑, 入口便是濃烈的咖啡味, 是roasty系, 很重很rich, 醇香留在口腔好一陣子, 很不錯
環境: 裝修及餐具都很企理, 用上白色作主題, 位於商場的走廊, 人流旺盛, 要是想靜靜的躲在一角便不可能了, 跟朋友逛街後充充電則屬首選
服務: 幾名待應尚算應付得過去, 態度幾好
食物: 不論甜點及咖啡都很出色, 下次要試macaron及其他cake!

白色誘惑
原來有最低消費的,於是點了一個TEA SET和男友分享。
我們選了MACARON的SET,包一杯飲品,我們選了MOCHA。
小圓餅SIZE小小的,一口一個。我們試了三種味,分別是檸檬味、紅莓味和巧克力味。其實三種味都差不多,都是甜甜的,最好的應該算是紅莓味了,因為酸酸的,中和了甜味。
咖啡來的時候我都覺得怪怪的,看樣子不像是MOCHA,一問之下真的是來錯了。等了一會終於來了MOCHA,味道真的不錯,而且拉花也令人很喜悅。
雖然位於人來人往的商場中心,但不俗的服務也令人吃得滿意。

八卦人食甜品
四款口味Macarons
Tea Set 的 "Biscuits"
一枱甜品...... 超爽!正!開心!
同場加映:太公手多多加多幾筆的Mocha
下午時間有tea set, $50, 包一杯飲品和三件macaron, 或四件biscuit; 每杯mocha散叫都要$35, 才加$15就有點心,似乎相當抵;5個人於是要了5個tea set, 其中4個選了macaron, 1個選了biscuit
這些小小的點心,當然不能甜魔們對甜食的渴求與欲望!當然...要叫其他甜點:
服務員都很有耐性地為我們這批問題少男少女解構各種甜品和套餐,誠意可嘉;環境也相當舒適,可讓大家笑得招積,值得推介讓大家到此品嚐咖啡和蛋糕 - 不過macaron和那熱情果餅乾狀的物體, 就可免則免了!

除了咖啡及甜品做得出色,咖啡室的服務、環境、光線、氣氛亦令人滿意,一輪滿足的衝突後,大家輕鬆的閒聊,渡過了很愉快的下午。又咖啡店尚有更多誘人甜品,可修身要緊,唯有留待下一次吧!
P.S. DBS card惠顧滿$200免收加一或送甜品一份(4 macarons)~

Great and Bad together!
Damaged. Cannot rate fairly.
The Chocolates with Ganache are very good indeed. The ganache chocolates are as good as Debauve & Gallais, and better than the direct competition such as Jean Paul Hevin, La Maison Du Chocolat, Agnes b. Delices, Valrhona, Leonidas, Godiva, etc. They're not too sweet here, which often overpowers the chocolate coating and ganaches. The dark chocolates here are quite good as well, very similar to the Debauve and Gallais version although my main preference is still the Jean Paul Hevin Dark Chocolates, which are amazing.
However, despite the famed name - the experience was partially disastrous. The Macarons we order, were actually not stored very well - they were so wet from bad defrosting, that the top was too soft and inedible. As such, even if the Macarons were 'probably' of a very high standard, it was impossible to rate them fairly due to this batch's problem. Similarly, a chocolate crumble with apple tart was also too moist and not edible, despite looking presentable. These were waived from the bill as there were clearly signs of damages. Not good.
What do I come here for?
Definitely the coffee.
The Italian blended coffee from Napoli is very special indeed, with multiple layers of complexity that is unlike anything else in Hong Kong. Its great for both milk coffees as well as Espressos, although in the espresso it might be a bit too strong to detect the multiple-layers hidden beneath - not helped by the fact that these imported coffees aren't as fresh as locally roasted ones.

貴定平?
買了半打dark chocolate mousse cake,味道香濃,mousse亦夠滑,而且賣相不錯。
40幾蚊一件cake,平心以論是略貴,cova都不過是30多,但貴定平都只在於自身對食物的評價及感覺。
這次朋友大喜,對我,就很值得了。

難得的 espresso
去到,見到幾個姐姐仔睇場,心中涼了一截。見到 Menu 上沒有 Ristretto,問下姐姐仔有冇啦,
「o下?」姐姐仔甲答。
「即係 Short d 既 Espresso」
「o下?」
「即係濃 d Espresso....-.-"」
「Espresso 好濃架喎」
今次到我o下左一下
「好啦,我要 Single Espresso 啦..-_-」
另一個姐姐仔乙沖,再由姐姐仔甲端上。
可能飲開 Crema 的 Ristretto, 我覺得呢度既 espresso 比我心目中既口味薄左少少,但都算香,入口第一感覺甘而唔苦已經好難得。Crema 唔多,但 Blending 比 Cafe Corridor 討我歡心。
33 蚊一個 single.. 的確好貴.
如果在職員工訓練多d 好比較好.
