Love bites with the apple of love

Jam Bakery (North Point)

According to my reviews, it has been four years since I last visited Jam Bakery.

They used to be located in Tai Hang and closed down for a while until they reopened here recently.

Jam Bakery is on the corner and the shop is quite see through.


This branch is much bigger than the previous place with a cake cabinet, cookie shelf and a reasonable dining area.




I decided to go to Jam Bakery because of the apple cheesecake which is also being sold at Sogo branded with Hello Kitty.

There was a green one and a red one.


To be honest, the green one was not appealing because the shade of green looked a bit like gunge and slime so I got the red.

Apple Cheesecake (RED):
I do not like the colour red, but red was more appealing than green in this case.
The apple looked so realistic I was tempted to bite it just like can apple, but in the end I dug in with a fork.



As a cheesecake, it tasted nothing like a cheesecake, but it was delicious if you treat it as a apple cream cake.
Fresh apple and cream with light sponge cake in the middle that was not too sweet with a hint of cinammon.
However it was weird it had raisins in it.

Apple Cheesecake (GREEN):
Came here again for the cheesecake because it was really nice.
The service was much better this time because this time I got a glass of water.


The green one had an extra piece of chocolate on top which was not there before shown on the first photo.
According to the earlier reviews, both the red and green should have a piece of chocolate on top.



I was expecting the RED and GREEN to taste the same, but as you can see there is much more apple filling in it.
The green one was much sweeter too, so in conclusion, I prefer the red one that I tried before.

As well as the cakes, I was hoping to try Froyo because they had a unique cactus topping that you could choose.

Apple cream pie @ Little Mermaid Bakery

Got this because I like apple and puff pastry.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apple cream pie:
Visually it looked nothing like an apple pie even though it was labelled apple cream pie.
It actually looked like a sausage roll.
I was hoping it would taste like an apple turnover which has apples and cream inside but there was no cream inside.
From the labelling it said there was crispy apple and hokkaido cream custard cream inside it.
Overall I found it too sweet especially the custard which was slightly sickly.
If they had used unsweetened cooking apples it would have balanced out the sweetness.
The puff pastry was slightly too buttery.

Fresh apple and sea coconut drink @ Kung Wo Tong

Saw the poster and the drink looked refreshing so I tried it.
I thought it was a hot drink but it was chilled.
Anyway the drink was apple and sea coconut.
There was apple juice in it but it was not sour and the sea coconut tasted nice as well because it was not sweet at all.
However it was slightly strange because it tasted milky.

Honey Cajun chicken mozz walnut apple sauce wrap

I used to like the food at the Wan Chai branch before they closed down, so I rarely go to Oliver's these days.

Anyway happened to be nearby so decided to try the Honey Cajun chicken mozzarella walnut apple sauce wrap. I was really disappointed because it did'nt taste as nice as I was expecting.
The apple sauce was too sweet and the overall taste was too salty and what made it worse was that it was quite expensive.
I just felt that the tastes had been adjusted to suit the locals especially with its location in Shatin. It would have tasted great if the flavouring was not so intense because the paring of apple, walnuts and cajin chicken were good.
If they used fresh apples instead of apple sauce it would taste even more refreshing.

Sweet Sweet experience @ 小店 Copacabana

Ordered three desserts: apple tart, napoleon and chocolate pudding with sauce.

The apple tart was the best, thin flat tart with custart in the middle and topped with apple slices on top, and covered in icing sugar. The base of the tart was flaky filo pastry. I thought the ice-cream was optional, even without, it would still taste good.

As for the napoleon, the pastry was a bit heavy, and the custard was a bit rich, not as light as the apple tart.

Finally for the chocolate pudding, I expected it to taste like the usual chocolate puddings with hot chocolate sauce in the middle, so there was no surprise with that one.

Overall, all three desserts were well presented and garnished with strawberries, and artistic chocolate sauce drawn on the plate.
