Came here one night before a meal nearby, wanting a shot of coffee to keep me going for the early night! A non-Chinese lady served me and I ordered a drinking-in Caffe Latte !
It was actually made appallingly unfortunately! Although the Brand of coffee they use here is one of my favourite and well-proven Italian coffees available in Hong Kong and same as that in Debailleul, Cafe Y Taberna or Cafe Golden, etc, etc, the resulting cup had 'latte' that tasted obviously re-heated and Way Too Scorching Hot, the Espresso base was ultra poor and watery beneath. Its obvious from seeing the photo too that none of the coffee flavours managed to interact, mix in and surface to the top of the coffee!
This was left unfinished after 3-4 small sips and I had wasted hard-earned money on coffee from a PRETENTIOUS shop not even serious about their food and coffee.
As I keep trying to carry the point forward - the COFFEE MAKER (BARISTA), is an important bottle-neck and carries much more Responsibility and FInal Influence in the result of your cup of coffee, than one could ever possibly imagine.... I certainly couldn't believe it myself until I realised, the machinery used are so sensitive, perhaps more than food is. Compared to my coffee experience at Cafe Y Taberna or Debailleul (months earlier) using the same coffee - the difference was NIGHT and DAY. Over there, I got one of the best coffees I have had the pleasure of drinking ever in HK! Not the same can be said of the same 'Coffee' served here....
Since the pictures looks really amazing on the web and there ain't much restaurant of similar kind in the distrcit, so i've decided to give it a go....
I had pasta in cream sauce; my friend had a cold angel hair noodle. For mine, the sauce was way too salty while the fillet on top was tasteless. The salmon and scallops for my friend's dish were not fresh and the portion was too small even for a girl.
I guess, afterall, it's a coffee shop, so only the drinks are not bad. My apple and cinnemon tea with honey tastes refreshing. My friend thinks her hot chocolate is also ok. (Hot chocolate costs $4 dollars extra for set meal)
Maybe I should try their coffee next time, but until this "below average" memory fads shall that chance arise.

Distasteful Coffee more Likely

Taste - too much or too little

小巧的一餐
上次食牛肉麵,發現了這間小餐廳,今天專程去試。
天氣熱得很,在夏日精選套餐裏選了鮮三文魚帶子配冷天使麵($50) ,另一份是當日套餐的魚柳配墨魚菠菜忌廉汁意粉($45) 。
等了好一會兒,天使麵來了,賣相漂亮,新鮮的三文魚很美味,出乎意料的是鮮帶子,鮮甜得很,雖然份量不多,也很開心,冷天使麵也非常出色,只是份量同樣比較少。
龍利柳也是烹調得宜,亦是小巧的一碟。
這裏是咖啡店,飯後當然要選咖啡。
Mocha和Cappuccino,同樣睇得又飲得。
不太貴的價錢,也是一間不錯的小店了。

繼續品味咖啡
行過都會走漏眼的門口
有得上網
Regular Coffee
我杯 Latte 冇咩 Art, 貼牆上幅畫好過
老實說, 在北角住了這麼多年, 是從來沒有走過入這條小巷的, 永遠只是在外圍行過便算。相信現在會比較多人認識了, 就要多得隔壁新開的人氣滿滿的牛肉麵店啦。
(別被地址誤導了, 雖然這條巷也叫錦屏街, 但你在新都城百貨那邊的錦屏街是不會找到它的, 其實它是在書局街和七姊妹道交界, 即在花香徑樓梯旁的。)
OK, 終於找到了。原來其門面也真夠低調, 連招牌都給簷篷遮著了, 我想這裡該是蛇王的好地方。店子是小小餐室格局, 有電腦供上網之用, 也提供免費Wi-fi。牆上除了有掛畫外, 還有顧客的留言, 看日子, 原來這兒都開了兩年有多了。
初時一心試其咖啡, 所以先叫了一杯 Latte ($24)。由於店面只有一位女服務生, 而她要兼顧弄咖啡的重任, 老闆/廚師就在掌廚, 所以得有點耐心等一下, 此時不如拿本雜誌看看打發時間 (不過雜誌有點過期!)。Latte 的樣子樸實, 所以不放照片上來了。拿起來聞一聞, 沒啥咖啡的香味; 是以喝下去, 咖啡味不算突出, 就是沒有「從牛奶裡透出來」的那種感覺。
Latte 奶味太重, 試不真咖啡的味道, 而且在要用腦的日子, 單喝這 Latte 也實在不夠勁道, 反正也要吃點東西, 便要了個 Special Set (9 am - 12 nn; 2:30 - 6:30 pm 供應) 中的煙鴨胸炒蛋蕃茄配多士 ($32), 配正常的咖啡。不想吃炒蛋, 轉了做太陽蛋也沒問題, 便得出圖中的早餐效果了。連塊牛油多士都砌得型過人 (蕃茄片夾在中間), 有分加! 我轉了太陽蛋的決定是正確的, 因為我喜歡用蛋汁多點多士。
好, 說回主角咖啡, 雖然見到咖啡機內已儲備了一些豆, 不過小店經營也不能太苛求啦; 最緊要沖出來好喝嘛。這家用的是意大利豆 (是不是 Barbera 就沒深究了), 是比較 bold 和有 body 的, 酸度剛好, 餘韻也算悠長, 我覺得加了奶比淨喝好一點。
[不過次日再來喝這咖啡, 竟然有點燶燶的味道, 向店家反映了意見, 希望只是一時失手啦。]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
對, 第二天, 我又來了, 其實是因為要去牛肉麵店吃羊肉麵, 而店子滿座的緣故。也好, 可以一試她的正餐了。酷熱天氣警告下, 一見到餐牌上又焗又多汁的意粉類食品就感冒, 好在現在有一些清涼的選擇, 例如鮮三文魚帶子冷天使麵 ($50)。另選配了餐湯, 這天的是紅腰豆忌廉湯。
鄰桌的年長夫婦也在喝這湯, 伯伯向店員申訴為何湯裡這麼少豆 (他是愛吃豆的), 原來不少顧客也不喜歡吃豆類, 但如特別指明是可以加豆的。湯質比較稀和淡, 初時我也沒特別在意, 伯伯提起才驚覺這一點; 店員小姐說這是店家堅持只用忌廉做忌廉湯, 沒有加麵粉濫竽充數之故。
我的天使麵值得一讚: 其實它是西式刺身麵, 用上鮮三文魚和帶子片, 再洒上日本七味粉調味, 惹味得來又不會太辣, 好一個西日 fusion 菜。天使麵涼涼的, 正好保留少少彈牙質感, 以少許檸檬汁提鮮, 酸酸地有助驅散悶熱。
是日吃的相當飽了, 沒吃甜品, 保留 quota 再來蛇一蛇的時候, 就是吃蛋糕之時了。
(不過之後倒真的再去了吃芝士蛋糕, 很一般而已, 還是喝咖啡好了。

悠閒的下午茶
店內以啡色木作主要的裝修配上暗暗的燈光
和友人坐在高椅上細看著餐牌的同時
發現店內有一電腦可以提供免費上網服務
邊玩電腦邊看餐牌
坐了整整十五分鐘才點菜的我們自己都有點不好意思
可途中侍應都沒有過來催促甚麼的
一杯焦糖咖啡配上一客煙三文魚沙律
大概是有電腦玩的關係
食物雖然花了一點時間才來我們也沒有怎樣抱怨
先來的是一杯焦糖咖啡
香濃的咖啡香和甜而不膩的焦糖
簡直是最棒的配合,真的很讚
適量的冰並沒有把飲料沖淡
再來的就是煙三文魚沙律
煙三文魚不會太咸
少許的香草令三文魚的味道變得更好
加上新鮮的蕃茄片、西生菜、紫耶菜絲和紅蘿蔔絲,簡直可口
進餐途中侍應還偶爾會跟我們說上兩句加上電腦在旁
即使只有兩個人去也不會有悶場
實是不錯的一個地方

值得一坐
想了很久 突然想起樓下有一間剛開張的cafe 就決定去那裏
剛剛進去 第一印象覺得環境不錯 暗黃的燈光 感覺頗舒服
跟好友坐在旁邊的坐位 椅子稍言高了點 但也不差
環境不錯 有一個書櫃整齊地擺滿雜誌 我座位旁邊有一部電腦
我認為可以邊喝咖啡邊上網也蠻享受 但軟膠鍵盤似乎難按了一點
電腦只是小事 這不是重點
好友要了一杯焦糖牛奶咖啡和一個芝士肉醬熱狗
我要了一客煙三文魚沙津 送一杯果茶 我選了蘋果玉桂花茶
我胃痛不能喝咖啡 但離遠聞到好友的那杯咖啡覺得很香
沙津味道不錯 頗清新 花茶
熱狗很大隻 一人一半也夠飽
好友吃不下 我幫她吃完
味道很好 芝士味好重
服務態度不錯 還幫好友換零錢
空調的溫度比較低了點
頗推薦大家去坐坐
