Godiva Hot Chocolate
2019-03-05  1728 瀏覽
I was surprised to see that Das Gute cafe are serving the Godiva series so tried the hot chocolate for HKD38.
It is significantly cheaper compared to the hot chocolate at the GODIVA stores.
Obviously, the cup is small and when you take off the lid there isn't much inside.
The taste was quite nice but a bit too sweet.
Also had the Earl Grey Tea which quenched my thirst.
A nice joint that isn't too busy but the staff were not that nice.

[Review 7240] Ruby Chocolate cakes @ 英王麵包店 A-1 Bakery

A1 Bakery is possibly the first bakery in Hong Kong to sell Ruby chocolate cakes.
Prior to that, I've had Ruby Chocolate in the form of Nestle Kitkat and Hot Ruby Chocolate Drink.
Both were fantastic as it tastes a bit like raspberry but better.

The Ruby Choc Cake I got from A1 was not in its best shape as the plastic did not cover the cake properly and the sponge area was soggy.
Apart from the soggy sponge part, it tasted how Ruby chocolate should but the mousse in the middle was a little too sweet.

[REview 6295] Biggest Danish Swirl I have ever had @ 英王麵包店

Size matters for me so I was captivated by this face sized Danish which was huge, you can see how big it was compared to the French looking Pan de Chocolat which was actually a Matcha cream puff.
The taste was ok but the sweetness and icing tasted really different to the ones in UK.
The overall taste was too buttery and the icing was even.
Also tried the Akita rice flour edamame bun.
It was soft and fluffy but there was not much taste to it.

I was still hungry so decided to get something and ended up getting these pancakes with fillings.
They felt really soft inside the packaging which made them convincing to buy.
I expected the custard to taste better but it was horrible because the taste was too sugary.
However the chocolate one turned out to be delicious since it was not as sweet and the chocolate flavour was strong.

Expensive cream~
2016-03-08  317 瀏覽
As I have said, NORMAL cream is hard to get in HONG KONG without being spiked with sugar and whatever weird stuff they put into it.
Anyway, I saw this cream roll at A1 bakery and Das Gute, which was launched to celebrate some 30 year thing.
If you look at the roll, there is evidently so much more cream than the cake itself.
The cream was really good as expected in Hong Kong standards, but just ordinary cream in the UK because you can just get some milk from the supermarket and whip it yourself.
I didn’t expect much of the cake because it was just the typical sponge cake.
What I really regretted was getting some decent scones for the excess cream so I wasted quite a bit of it because there was too much cream.
Frankly $138 is quite expensive for a roll consisting of 80% cream.

I was captivated by these mini custard mochis which looked like baby donuts dusted in icing powder but when I got closer it was actually mochi.
They cost $4.5 each or $17 for 3 which is quite pricey considering they are just a small bite.
Anyway, I got one because I wasn’t sure if they were delicious or not.
The custard mochi was quite nice because the mochi is not as oily as donut but the texture is a bit like chewy donut and the filling was ok, but the custard had a sickly white chocolate/condensed milk taste.

Discovered this new Okinawan sweet potato pie on Open Rice.
It basically had purple sweet potato filling and cream inside it so I had to try it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Okinawan sweet potato pie HKD12：

The pie looked more like a turnover or a triangle shaped puffed.

I really liked the taste of the pie because it was not too sweet but I didn't find the cream on my first bite as it was on the other side.
But it was really delicious because the velvety sweet potato and light whipped cream tasted deliciously together.
If the pastry had been flakier it would have been perfect.

Walked past and was attracted by the apple danish so went in to get it and saw two other attractive items so got that too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Sugar pon da ring:
I had this one first because it had the lightest taste and it looked quite similar to the caramel one except that the white sugar was more prominent on this one.
The white sugar was not too sweet and I loved the chewyness of the pon de ring.
The inside of the pon de ring had a yeasty texture too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cranberry and cream cheese bun:
The bun was quite pretty because it was light pink.
 The cranberry inside the bun was quite sweet which flavoured the cream cheese as well.
Luckily the bun was not sweet so the sweetness overall was just right.
There was no hollow gaps in the bun and it was solidly filled unlike Maxim's airy buns.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apple and cream cheese danish:

I was really looking forward to this but the danish pastry had gone slightly rancid.
The apple just tasted sweet which was disappointing because I would prefer it if it was slightly tart.


If the cream cheese was replaced with unsweetened cream then it would have been perfect.

It is really good there is another bakery on the other corner of Metro City, the other side is Panash, but I rarely buy from there.
This joint is much bigger and more spacious than the joint at Tseung Kwan O.

I came in here because it was a new branch and then when I saw the pon de rings I was immediately drawn to them.

I have always loved pon de rings because of its chewy texture and delicious icings.

Not many places in Hong Kong sell them and the one that did in Mong Kok closed down.

They are really fun to eat because I like breaking the pieces off into individual balls.

I realised that I saw the exact same product at A1 Bakery.
After googling A-1 bakery I found out that Das Gute, Cafe Balencia, La Creation and many more are part of the A-1 bakery group.

There were five flavours for the pon de rings: Chocolate, Green Tea, Strawberry, caramel and white sugar.

I wasnt sure if the strawberry would taste artificial so I chose the green tea, white sugar and caramel.
It was good that they put the iced pon de ring in a separate bag.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
White sugar pon de ring:

I started with this one first because it had the lightest taste and it looked quite similar to the caramel one except that the white sugar was more prominent on this one.
The white sugar was not too sweet and I loved the chewyness of the pon de ring.
The inside of the pon de ring had a yeasty texture too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Caramel pon de ring:


The caramel flavoured pon de ring was even better, the flavour was distributed evenly and it was not too sweet.
After trying both the white sugar and caramel flavour I thought it was fun to break the pon de ring up and eat the pieces individually.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green tea pon de ring:

The strong green tea icing on the pon de ring was quite and did not make the pon de ring too sweet.
The chewyness and the icing was a good combination.
The icing was not hard and crumbly, it was similar to thick paste.

[Review 1830] Japanese egg white souffle cheese cake @ Das Gute

The packaging was really nice so decided to get it.
I liked the silver patterns against the silver.
As for the souffle cheese cake, it was the Japanese type, it was similar to dense mousse hence the souffle in the name.

The sweetness was just right and the cheese flavouring was not that strong.
