McCafe's 20th Birthday in Hong Kong - Rainbow Cake

If it wasn't for this new tea series and rainbow cake I wouldn't have known that McCafe has been in Hong Kong for 20 years. I remember going to a McCafe near North Point MTR station but not sure if that was the first branch.
Anyway,  I happened to be in Fortress Hill so went in for the new Tea!

Out of the drinks choice, I wasn't keen on the Four Seasons Tea because it was tasteless from the shops I have tried before, but still ordered it as it was the only tea choice available.

Spotted the rainbow cake so got that as well.


The bill came to HKD35.

Visually the cup was nice with rainbows on it and there was a decent amount of cheese froth on top.

The cake was topped with colourful candy pearls.

As each layer was a different colour,  I tried each layer to see if the colour made any different but it just tastes the same. The cake was soft, fluffy and not too sweet.

Finished off with the Four Seasons tea which gave me a surprise because it had a strong taste compared to the ones I have tried before.
On top of the cheese foam, there was some dried tea leaves which enhances the tea flavour when they get in your mouth and you end up chewing them.
The cheese foam texture was thick like double cream but I find it strange they call it cheese because it wasn't cheesy but sweetened.
Anyhow the thick creamy cap and the tea were a match made in heaven. 

I felt quite content after having the cake and drink because I didn't feel thirsty or have any strange aftertaste in my mouth.
Definitely will be back to try the berries drink as strawberries and thick cream go so well together.

Cheese and Ham croissant at McCafe

Came here for a quick croissant because the queue at Simplylife was long.

Cheese and ham croissant:





The croissant was reheated before it was served but the middle was still cold.
As for the taste I was disappointed with the ham because it was hard and plastic, while the cheese was just American processed cheese.

McCafe Hong Kong : Green tea tofu cheese cake

Went to McCafe to try the new Green tea tofu cheese cake

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green tea tofu cheese cake:


Visually it was quite nice with neat layers of tofu and green tea cake in the middle.
The taste was like strong vanilla mixed with a lot of sweetened condensed milk, but there was no green tea taste or tofu taste which was disappointing.
Since it was a cheesecake, I was also expecting some sort to cheese cakey taste, but there was none.

McCafe Hong Kong: Creme brulee cheesecake

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Creme brulee cheesecake:


The creme brulee cheesecake looked really nice, it had a glazed top with different layers.
I found the cheesecake really heavy and it was too sweet as well.

It had a really strong sweet smell of caramel.

McCafe Hong Kong: Royal Milk tea

Tried McCafe's new Royal tea because the poster was captivating.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Royal Tea:

Basically it was tea with a lovely frothy top dusted with a crown pattern and the Chinese character tea.
As for the taste, it was a milkier version of Hong Kong style tea without the bitterness.
The sweetness was quite sweet but after you have had the creme brulee cheesecake the tea is no longer sweet because the cheesecake is much sweeter!

Strawberry cake at McCafe

McCafe headquarters at North Point
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Strawberry cake:

Out of all the cakes I have seen at McCafe, this must have been the simplest cake with just cream, sponge cake, strawberry jam and garnished with half a strawberry on top.

The taste of this one was quite nice, it was soft sponge with cream and a hint of strawberry from the jam filling in the middle.

This cake is nice and simple for the afternoon with a cup of tea.

Trainer or Trainee?:
When I ordered, the guy in the black shirt was being trained and I gave him a difficult task while he was on training because I wanted the outermost cake because the strawberry was more ripe.
He was instructed to take the whole plate of cakes out because he was not sure how to get it.
It was then that I noticed his badge said "Trainer" when it should have been "Trainee".

Food studio and McDonalds employment centre:
After eating the cake, I was on my way out when I noticed that their Food studio and McD's recruitment centre are located here.

Golden Nutty Delights 2013 @ McCafe

I was excited when I saw the new Golden Nutty delights at McCafe because I love hazelnuts and the souffle coffee seemed the best because of the souffle top even though I do not drink coffee.

There are three drinks in that series which are all hot: Golden Nutty Tea (red tea, chocolate and hazelnut), Golden Nutty mocha (coffee, chocolate and hazelnut), and Golden Nutty souffle coffee (hazelnut coffee with a souffle top).
I chose the Golden Nutty Tea and the Golden Nutty souffle coffee because I wanted to try the souffle.
When it was done it came in a paper cup and I never said that I was not dining there, especially for a delicate drink with foam, why would I want it served in a paper cup!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Golden Nutty Tea:
The top of this drink was frothier than the souffle.
The froth was nice and sweet with a strong hazelnut taste.
The tea beneath it was not that sweet but was balanced with the sweetness of the froth.
However the drink was not hot enough.
Overall the taste was nice with hints of hazelnut, chocolate and tea!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Golden Nutty souffle coffee:
Compared to the tea, this drink was much hotter and it had steam coming off it.
The souffle top was really nice and the bubbles were fine and dense which was a pity that it was served in a paper cup with the lid on because half the souffle was gone.
