Marks and Spencers Apple Turnover
2020-04-01  176 瀏覽
Marks and Spencers has the best sweet treats so went there to get my cream cravings.
Got the Bramley apple turnover which contain delicious freshly whipped cream.
The apple turnovers have to be eaten asap before the pasty gets soggy. I love that lovely balance of tart crisp apple cubes and cream encased in the light puff pastry dusted with powdered sugar.
I am not sure if they have changed the recipe because the one I tried in December 2018 had sugar on top but the one here clearly had caster sugar (powdered sugar) which is delicate and gives it some subtle sweetness.

Delicious custard donuts

Went to Marks and Sparks for some bakery.
Ended up getting a custard donut and a cinnamon swirl.

I would definitely get the custard donut again because the custard was silky and loaded with vanilla seeds.
The texture of the donut was non oily and fluffy.
As for the cinnamon swirl it is best reheated so that the swirl is nice and flaky.

Marks and Sparks has the best sweet treats so went here for my cream cravings.

Got the apple turnover and eclairs which both contain delicious freshly whipped cream.
The apple turnovers has to be eaten asap before the pasty gets soggy.
I love that lovely balance of tart crisp apple cubes and cream encased in the light puff pastry dusted with coarse sugar grains.
The eclair is another evilicious treat which is just choux pastry filled with unsweetened cream.

I love Christmas especially the food during that period.
There is a lot of chestnuts, cranberries, cinammon etc at play.
At Marks and Spencers, they had Pigs in Blanket sandwich which is trending in UK.
Almost everything is pigs in blanket from pizzas, crisps to tea bags!
On the Vegetarian side, they had NO TURKEY sandwich so I got both to try.
====
Pigs in Blanket:
In this sandwich, there was turkey, sausages, cranberries and bacon.
Basically all my favourites so how could I not like it!

=====
NO TURKEY feast:
For the NO TURKEY feast, it has seasoned roasted soya that has been marinated with sage, garlic, salt and pepper.
As well as that, there was delicious cranberry chutney, caramelised onion and sage dressing and fresh spinach.
It was definitely delicious and I wouldn't have suspected it was was vegetarian.

The only drawback is the price so if you happen to be in UK next Christmas, do try it out!

The Jaffa cake is basically a layer of Genoise sponge base, a layer of orange jelly coated in chocolate.
In 2016, Marks and Spencers had the Dark chocolate and Cherry Jaffa cake which tasted like blackforest cake but the cherry jelly was not tart enough.
Now they have this new Raspberry Jaffa Cake which I decided to try as well, there is also lemon and lime which I hope to try later.
The raspberry is really fragrant and quite tart compared to the cherry so I really liked it.

Felt like something different so chose chicken and chips.

You get two big chicken drumsticks served with chips.

The chicken drumsticks are a bit dry but meaty and satisfying.

I didn't like the chips as they were a bit dehydrated and they were oven baked chips.

Also had the lemon donut which was filled with lemon curd.

It was quite sweet and went well with tea.

A croissant muffin hybrid
2017-07-30  758 瀏覽
The cruffin which is a pastry hybrid of a croissant and a muffin was only previously available at posh bakeries in London and some other countries.
It is meant to be crisp and flaky like a croissant and soft doughy like a muffin on the inside.
You can get it at Marks and Sparks as well as this Japanese inspired Chinese bakery A1 group but their version is weird as it is covered in icing.

At Marks and Sparks, there are three different flavours – chocolate and hazelnut, Seville orange and strawberry and Marc de champagne, at £1.50 in the UK and $25 in Hong Kong.
I was a bit disappointed because it was not doughy and soft in the middle and it was just a croissant all the way through but shaped like a muffin.
Never the less, both the Strawberry and orange flavours were good because jam and croissants always go together.
The chocolate was a bit rich and tasted like a pain du chocolat filled with nutella paste.

I just love eclairs filled with fresh cream but this one has been jazzed up with orange and chocolate.
It was a little bit sweet but I loved the tartness of the orange in the orange infused cream.
If only the icing was dark chocolate and orange instead of white chocolate, I would have liked it more.

Fancy ice buns from Marks and Sparks
2017-06-04  561 瀏覽
I think this is the first time I have ever seen an iced bun sold in Hong Kong.
These are common treats in UK bakeries, they are basically plain buns topped with fondant icing.
The one I got from Marks and Sparks has been jazzed up because it had sultanas and other things in it.
I loved the sweetness and it reminded me of an iced hot cross bun because of the raisins and lemon peel.
They come in packs of one or two but sadly the wrapper sticks to the icing so when you take it out of the bag some of the icing gets stuck.

Went here for some treats and was planning to have some tea but the counter was closed.
Got the jam doughnut and the Bramley apple turnover.
The jam doughnut was good and always spot on with a sugary soft exterior filled with sweet yet acidic raspberry jam.
However the turnover was a strange let down. They might have used the wrong pastry because it was quite hard and the texture didn't feel like a flakey turnover,
The taste of the pastry was so cheesy which I wouldn't mind if it was a savory item but it was sweet.
On the other hand the apple filling was really good with a nice tart taste.

Cream slices forever
2017-04-29  1753 瀏覽
I am so glad that MS are still stocking these cream slices as well as the fresh cream eclairs.
These two are always my favourites as well as the classic trifle.
Basically it is cream and jam in between layers of puff pastry topped with a beautiful icing.
As always, they are difficult to eat, no matter where you take a bite, cream will come out.
Anyway, these cream slices are so evilicious because the fresh cream, flakey pastry and jam is sweet and delicious complemented by the icing.
This time I ate two in one go without tea so it got a bit sickly sweet.
But anyhow, I know I will crave for it soon.

Since the last visit the menu has changed, the price of the curry has gone up instead of going down like the pound!!!
The pizza was new on the menu so I ordered it.
It was really properly cheesy and the the pizza base was soft and chewy, however the chips were hard because they had not cooked them properly.
I wish they could improve on reheating the food because if they don't heat it up properly it doesn't taste right therefore making MS look bad.

As an expat, Marks and Spencer is always my haven for British food.
Today's visit was not good and the staff should have better training as they are ruining this prestigious British brand in Hong Kong.
I was buying stuff when I discovered a moldy bap in the pack so I went and told the cashier who didn't respond in a normal way.
+++++
Me: It's moldy.
Cashier: yes because it expires today.
(scans the buns)
Me: I am just telling you it's moldy, I don't want it..
Location: marks n spencer, East point city, hong kong
Date: 13/10/2016
In the end I got corned beef and assorted buns.
The corned beef was quite salty and dry.
