Had this breakfast last year hence this review is quite old~
The best things in this breakfast were the scrambled eggs and muffin.
After adding salt and pepper, the scrambled eggs tasted better and the muffin and jam were good without the butter.

[Review 4474] Pomme verte series @ Das Gute

The photos I took doesn't show but when you see the cakes they look too good to eat.
There is a large one and a tart version that has a white layer of meringue on top.

Pomme verte tart:
The tart was a bit deformed when I got home!
I was a bit disappointed because it was too sweet and there was lemongrass flavouring which I don't like.
It was not even tart in taste because pomme verte means Granny Smith apples in French which are crisp tart apples.
However it was nice there were chunks of apple in it.

HLS have launched these cute buckets of fruit slushes in four flavours:
Pineapple, longnan berry, strawberry and cucumber.

Previously tried the cucumber which was too sweet so went for the Pineapple because Mjqueen7e said the coconut noodles were good.
The promotional leaflets at this store were better and they had a pop up menu.

You can get these $10 coupons for the slush buckets so they only cost around $23 but I didn't know about them and didn't see them giving it out.
After tearing the coupons away you can make this flick flack game [there are other names for this eg cootie catcher] to decide which flavour.

Pineapple slush:


At this branch, they give you a square plate instead of the rectangular plate.
The pineapple slush was refreshing because it was blended with fresh chunks of pineapple but it was slightly too sweet.
Beneath the slush were coconut noodles which was delicious with the slush and the sweetness eating these two together were just right.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Cucumber slush:

Tried the cucumber slush again and the slush was too sweet and the sweetness was consistent with the first time I tried it.

HLS have launched these cute buckets of fruit slushes in four flavours:
Pineapple, longnan berry, strawberry and cucumber.

I went for the cucumber because cucumber is supposedly refreshing.
It appears that they have ran out of the buckets because too many people have ordered it so I was given a disposable cup.
It was garnished with fresh melon.
The cucumber slush was way too sweet and the sago and marshmallow didn't make it taste better.
Beneath the slush was delicious aloe jelly which saved the dessert!!

For a change, I went to Wong Chuk Hang for food and this place is quite quiet because the MTR does not go there.

Tried CIRQLE for brunch after seeing these crab claws.

It costs $448 per person and there was a nice salad bar, dessert selection, eggs selection and a BBQ counter outside.

I had the freshly squeezed juice which was healthy and refreshing on a scorching day.
The cucumber was my favourite.

The food that I had:

For eggs they had a choice of eggs or quail eggs.

I ordered the quail omelette thinking that I would get a little omelette but it turned out to be a regular omelette that had a lot of quail eggs in it!!

I wish I had the chance to see the chef crack them one by one!

The brunch was not over yet because you get to choose a dish from the menu so I had the octopus and the vegetarian pizza.



The dishes come with sides and I chose the Mac and Cheese and the Fries.


To be honest I was quite full at this point so I only took a bite of the pizza which was sweet and tasty topped with sweetcorn.

Tried two new flavours at Lab Made which are made with Ribena.
These flavours are available until the 5th August.

Peanut Butter & Ribena Jelly Ice-cream:
 1 讚好

There was extra cream on mine because I requested for more.
The pairing of peanut butter and Ribena was surprisingly delicious because the saltiness of the peanut butter and the berry taste of Ribena was really nice.
++++++++++++++++++
Diced & Iced Apple Ribena Sorbet:


This was more refreshing and girls will love this because it has lots of diced apples in it.
