Legends of the fall at Pacific Coffee
2019-09-30  164 瀏覽
For Autumn Pacific Coffee has come up with these captivating drinks made with oat milk hence it is suitable for vegetarians.

As well as oat milk, it contains William Pear and Pearl Barley.

There are two drinks:
-William Pearl Pearl Barley Oat Milk Chillano
-Iced Williams Pear Wheat Germ Oat Milk Latte

I would recommend the oat milk chillano in the blazing hot autumn that doesn't really get cold.
At the bottom are pearl barley pearls which were mind blowing at first as they are perfectly spherical.

After taking a closer look, it turns out that they are pearl barley seeds encapsulated in a gel skin and there is some flavouring in between the barley and gel so it tastes slightly sweet.

The Iced Williams Pear Wheat Germ Oat Milk Latte which I had hot was like your usual latte.

Baked Chicken Potato with Creamy Cheese Sauce
2019-07-22  62 瀏覽
I love potatoes and cheese so decided to try the Baked Chicken Potato with Creamy Cheese Sauce.
I was disappointed with the potato slices because they were crunchy and not even soft despite they were already sliced thinly.
The chicken beneath was hard and chewy, not tender as advertised and the creamy sauce contained quite a fair bit of salt.
Overall, a waste of money and a vegetarian version would probably taste better.

I love this branch of PC as it is quite spacious and out of the way.
There is an odd rumble every now and then as you are sitting underneath a cinema.
Tried the new iced shaken black tea  lemonade which has jelly and a slice of lemon at the bottom.

It was sweet and refreshing but the tea is quite strong so you can taste the tea more than lemon but for the iced shaken matcha green tea, the green tea is more prominent.

I have yet to try the iced shaken  Americano with lemon but I would expect that one to be bitter.

There are three new zesty drinks at Pacific Coffee: Iced Zesty Americano, Iced Shaken Black Lemon Tea and Iced Shaken Green Tea Lemonade.
I would imagine the Americano being a bit bitter and sour so chose the green tea as the black sounds like the usual black tea with lemon in it.
The Iced Shaken Green tea lemonade was much better than it sounded as there were pieces of jelly at the bottom and the grassiness of the matcha and lemon were really refreshing together.

Pacific Coffee is everywhere but the branches at Asia Expo branches have a good range for sandwiches.They had at least 2 -3 items on the vegetarian range.

I was surprised they had pickle, cheese and ham which is basically the ploughman.

It was definitely satisfying having a ham, cheese and pickle sandwich.
The pickle was tangy and sweet but I can't confirm if it was the Branstons brand but it all tasted good, however the cheese seemed like processed cheese which makes it not as good as Pret.
Will check out the other sandwiches on my next visit.

Lasagna with bones
2019-02-15  990 瀏覽
I love Lasagna so I have it wherever I can find it.
Pacific Coffee had it so ordered a portion which costs HKD50.
The portion size is reasonable and baked in a cardboard container.
Unluckily but luckily I ran into a piece of brittle bone on my first mouthful which meant I had to eat the rest carefully.
Apart from the bone, the taste was ok with a rich tangy tomato paste and minced beef which is definitely not pure beef!
Again, meat is not really edible in Hong Kong and you really don't know what they put in minced meat or flour coated stuff which you can't see.
Hoping there will be a vegetarian Lasagna soon!

I was surprised to discover that PC had a series of beetroot drinks!!!!
There was beetroot lemonade, yuzu beetroot and blueberry beetroot.
Tried the beetroot lemonade as it was hard imagining how the other two would taste.

I suppose you could taste the beetroot but the lemon didn't really come through.

Towards the end it strangely tasted like Ribena with some bitterness because of the lemon peel.

The lemon and bitterness got stronger but luckily there was the syrup at the bottom to balance it out.

Aged Mandarin peel is a bit like citrus peel, hence they go well with sweet things like Xmas puddings.Pacific Coffee have come up with Tangerine peel latte, where the tangerine peels are supplied by Yiu Feng in Causeway Bay.
Apparently, this joint is quite well known but I only found out about this store because of the cat they own.
The taste of the tangerine peel is quite interesting, perhaps I am used to dishes with tangerine peel hence it kept making me think of cooked dishes.

For CNY, they had these cute cakes but Carrot Cake is definitely my pick.

Tried the maple latte series.
There was toasted almond or this one.
Anyway, got this one which had a strong coffee taste.

I prefer toasted almond maple latte over the pink salt because I couldn't quite taste the pink salt.


Decided to try the new maple series because I love maple.
There were two to choose from which made decisions difficult.
One was pink salt and the other was toasted almond.

Had the almond latte.
It was really sweet and smoothing with a rich almond taste.
Requested half a shot of coffee because I liked it sweet with a strong almond taste.
There was also salted caramel as well which I plan to try next time.

On this visit, there were marshmallows but when I had it again, there were no marshmallows.

Pacific Coffee x Vitasoy... More than just coffee
2017-08-14  296 瀏覽
PC celebrates their silver jubilee this year by collaborating with Vitasoy, a local brand that all Hong Kongers know.
Hence there are a collection of Vitasoy-inspired coffee drinks and food as well as a limited edition co-branded glass mug.
The Black Soya Panna Cotta with Quinoa & Chia Seed is served in this cute little mug jar with a lid so I had to get it.
It was so silky and delicious with a rich bean taste and it comes with a matching wooden spoon.
For drinks, had the ​Iced Vitasoy Soyabean Milk Latte which is Vitasoy Soyabean Milk mixed with their signature 18/25 Altura coffee, with black sugar jelly added to the bottom and crispy whole oat sprinkled on top.
 The taste is smooth with a crispy twist yet it was quite delightfully bittersweet.

There are two captivating Xmas cakes at Pacific Coffee, one was the black forest and the other was a purple potato tart which is an unusual ingredient for PC but then it is getting popular these days.

I ended up getting the blackforest because I don't like the tart bases in HK.
The blackforest cake was ok but the cream on top was the usual synthetic cream, the chocolate sponge cake and cherry filling was passable but there was still a weird biscuit base which ruins it.

Needed a drink so went here for tea.
Normally I order the Earl Grey but went for Jasmine tea for a change.
They gave me the wrong tea to begin with so I got it changed, it was horrible and minty.
The Jasmine tea was ok but the table was really wobbly that it made my tea spill!

Saw this new lychee yoghurt chillano drink so I had to try it because I love lychee and I love yoghurt.
The yoghurt was not strong enough because the lychee was too overpowering and sweet.
