Pumpkin and ham quiche @ Pacific Coffee

There are now four quiche flavours at Pacific Coffee, the latest addition is Pumpkin and Ham.

The salmon and the spinach & mushroom used to be my favourite but now it is Pumpkin and Ham.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pumpkin and Ham quiche:
As always their quiches taste really nice but it is slightly oily and there is some MSG in it.
I like their quiches because it doesn’t taste so eggy and there is cheese on top. The one I had this time was pumpkin and ham, the pumpkin and ham was cut to thin slices.
The pumpkin was nice and molten, it was UNSUGARED which was good because the Chinese have a thing about putting sugar with pumpkin and in savoury dishes.
The ham in the quiche was from the same supplier, the same ham they put in their croissant which is dry and rubbery with a tough edge.
Overall I really liked it and if they had used a softer ham it would taste better.

untoasted subs @ subway

I think this must be the smallest subway in Hong Kong housing a table of two!

Anyway, usually I have my subs toasted, but today I didn’t toast mine, I found it more moist and filling.

When it is toasted, the sub decreases in density almost by half, today I had ham with honey mustard sauce, and the whole sub was so moist and satisfying.

Dipping soldiers @ Applegreen

Came here especially for the “egg in a hole” an interesting Applegreen adaptation from Toad in the hole.

Ordered egg in a hole and toast with cheese, egg and ham.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Egg in a hole:Two round pieces of bread perfectly toasted with an egg in the middle of it, and the cut out piece was placed on top.
The egg yolk inside was perfectly runny, good for dipping toast, which reminded me of Marmite soldiers.

There were two thin pieces of pork sausages, probably one sausage cut in half. It was slightly over salty.
The ham was a nice thick slice, with the patterns of the wrapping still embedded on it, not too salty.
The potato that came with it was also good, finely shredded potato, with oven crisp cheese on top.
This came with a glass of fruit, refreshingly served in orange juice that was perfect to finish the meal.
The fruits were melon, pineapple, orange, all that went well together.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As for the cheese and ham toast, the bread visually looked like the bread from BO-LO’GNE Café & Bar in central.
It was light and soft, with a slight sweet taste, same with the egg in the hole one.
The ham they used for the toast was a good choice too, wafer thin ham.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The tea that was served was proper tea too with normal milk, not the Hongkish tea.

Delicious ham and egg sandwich by Maxim's bakery

I did not expect to get anything from Maxim's, but they had these egg and ham sandwiches which looked really inviting because there was runny egg in the middle.
There were quite a few of them like that because the egg had not been cooked properly, but I like part of the egg still in liquid form.
The colour of the egg was a nice yellow and the egg did not have that old oil taste like they do in Chinese Cafes.
The ham was good as well, not fried because Chinese Cafes like to treat them like bacon and fry them. The British don’t do that, apart from the Chinese people from HK who go over to the UK.
