Le Pain Quotidien (Closed)

I enjoy the flat white from Le Pain de Quotidien. But it was very disappointing when we went to try out their breakfast. I ordered The Angler which included a croissant, some bread, a soft-boiled egg, smoked salmon, rustic tuna, herbs farmer cheese and granola parfait.The croissant was not exciting, in fact it did not taste freshly baked despite it was only about 10am. The soft-boiled egg was awful; it looked and tasted below Par and it was difficult to remove the shell. I can easily make better

Another tropical cyclone was running wild in Hong Kong this weekend so we were stuck with indoor activities once again. The good thing was that, we were directly connected to the MTR station from where we live so we had the comfort of traveling without the troubles from the storm.We ended up spending the entire afternoon at Elements.
