You can never go wrong with PRET!
This time got the almond butter and it was thick and creamilicious.
It was topped with pomegranite seeds, pumpkin seeds and dried blueberries.
Everything was delicious and especially the almond butter as not many places have this option.

Whenever I walk past Marks and Sparks or Pret a Manger, it is always difficult to resist going inside.
This time I ended up eating the Bakewell slice and a chocolate orange cookie.
The cookie didn't have much orange flavour to it but you could slightly taste it which was good as it wasn't too artificial or overwhelming.
The Bakewell slice was so damn comforting because of the fragrant almond aroma and sweet layer of jam at the bottom.
It had a soft chewy texture.

On another visit, I had the freshly baked croissant with tomato and Mozzarella cheese.

It was quite nice but tasted like pizza because of the Mozzarella but personally I think it would taste better if cheddar cheese was used.

On the way back to the MTR station from HKCEC , spotted PAM on Gloucester Road next to Pacific and Starbucks.
It makes that stretch of road look quite nice now with all the nice coffee shops and healthy eateries.
I loved the new scene over looking the Gloucester Road traffic.
Anyway got the sparkling water and Matcha Latte.

The Matcha Latte is Matcha green tea blended with steamed milk and served in a 12oz cup.
It tasted like tea in a light form, slightly grassy.
I had it without sweeteners so it was palatable.

Finished with sparkling water as I was still thirsty as well.

[Pret A Manger] Peking Duck Wrap
2018-09-29  522 瀏覽
Had a sudden craving for Wraps recently so resorted to Pret A manger!!!There were two I was choosing from and it was Peking Duck or Chipotle Chicken with Avocado.
In the end I got the duck because Pret does an improved version of the Hong Kong ones!!!
Obviously it is much bigger and crammed with salad, but the best thing was the duck, it was skinless and pure lean tender soft duck meat.
It had hoisin sauce, purple onions, baby spinach and cucumber which all gave it that scrumptious peking duck taste!!
Definitely made my day.

Went to Pret again and this time had the Posh Cheddar & Pickle Baguette.It contains Mature cheddar with slow-cooked Pret Pickle, roasted tomatoes, freshly sliced red onions, a touch of mayo and snipped shoots of baby cress.
The taste was really good because the cheddar was nice and sharp and the roasted tomatoes were strong in flavour almost like sundried tomatoes.
The only let down was the baguette because it was rather tough.

I love cheese and sandwiches so this was the one for me.
The cheese was tasty because it was nice and sharp balanced by the lovely green leaves and tangy Pret pickle.
As well as the filling, the whole grain bread made it really healthy with a touch of fibre.
Next time I am going to try the Posh Cheese and Tomato baguette.

Pret A Manger have launched these colorful super bowls of salad which comes in three flavours.
There are International variations but Hong Kong has SESAME CHICKEN NOODLE SUPER BOWL, KOREAN PORK NOODLE SUPER BOWL and the SCOTTISH ROAST SALMON SUPER BOWL.
I went for the chicken because it was light and refreshing with lots of cashew nuts and sesame.

The noodles tasted good with or without the sesame sauce and the colourful pickled cabbage made the salad appetizing.


Finished off with a fragrant Earl Grey tea.

For nibbles they have this popcorn bar which looks delicious.

I have always wanted to write about macaroons but not many places have them.
Thanks to <<IVY>> for getting me these from Pret.
Macaroons are coconut based and mainly made up of desiccated coconut whereas macarons are made of egg whites and almond.
The macaroons tasted like a bounty bar and there was so much coconut in it.
The labelling is quite humorous as always!~

Prawn gumbo:
The prawn gumbo was a bit disappointing because it just tasted of black pepper and was lacking the spices use in gumbo.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salmon brunch:
The Salmon brunch bun temperature was kept hot and it was impressively not soggy because there was no condensation formed when it was kept in the heated cabinet.
Unfortunately the salmon was too salty and the cheese was tasteless.

It was really appetizing with the pickles while the salmon had a lightly salted taste.

The salad was tasty and didn't need the sauce but the Teriyaki sauce tastes sweet and flavourful which would go well with the pickles.

The miso soup at Pret is nice and light that doesn't leave you thirsty.

Pret A Manger have launched these new nori wraps which add a little Japanese twist to the wraps by adding a layer of nori to it.
There is Salmon or Chicken.
The Wasabi smoked salmon nori contains: smoked salmon, wasabi, pickled daikon and ginger, spinach, cucumber and mayo.

The Bang Bang chicken nori contains: chicken, pickled carrot and ginger, nori, spinach, red pepper, cucumber, roasted sesame and sesame dressing.
I chose the salmon because it had all the fillings that I liked.

The green goodness looked good but I was already having the miso soup.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Wasabi smoked salmon nori:
The wrap was made so much nicer with the nori (seaweed) because it gave it an extra touch of umami but it made the wrap quite tough to eat because the nori was soft and chewy.
The daikon (Chinese radish) gave it a lovely crunch with a pickled taste which went well with the salty smoked salmon and wasabi dressing that gave it a good Japanese kick to it.
It also had pickled ginger in it too but I picked it out because I don't like it.

Miso soup:
The miso soup tastes lighter than the ones you get in Japanese restaurant, but it was ok for me because I don't get so thirsty after drinking it.

Coronation chicken is a common thing in the UK.
It is basically chicken, raisins, herbs and curry spices mixed with a creamy mayonnaise-based sauce which can be eaten as a salad or used to fill sandwiches.
This dish was served in a banquet for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 which is why it is called Coronation chicken.

Hong Kong's Pret A Manger now has Coronation chicken sandwiches which has been modified for the HongKongers because they just love mango, hence mango is added.

The Hong Kong version has chicken, coronation sauce, mango chutney, toasted almonds, tomatoes and salad mix.

The taste is fruitier compared to the original because the mango and toasted almond slices give it an extra crunch.
They have also put salad in it too to make it feel lighter.
