Garden spinach muffin from Starbucks

Starbucks serves the same food and drink at every branch, but to me it is just a place to kill time.

This time I dined at the Caine Road branch, with IPC Foodlab and Eric Kayser opposite.

It was lovely and relaxing at this branch.

I tried the garden spinach muffin which was a savoury muffin with young green spinach, broccolis, green beans and cheese.


The muffin was green because of the spinach.


I loved the taste of this muffin because it was truly savoury and cheesy with a peppery kick to it.
It was heated as well which brought out the lovely cheesy aroma.

Grecoπ (Wan Chai)

Grecoπ is a great place for Greek food, but it is located in the middle of nowhere!

A year later they have new items on the menu so I went to try them out.

They have two new desserts but it was not available when I went.

I would go again but this place is too far away and I really cannot be bothered to walk here despite the food is brilliant.

They sell taramasalata and hummus dips in the fridge.

Fries with crumbled feta:



Since my last visit, I had forgotten how delicious their fries were.
There was crumbled feta on top which makes the fries more appetizing.
There were quite a few fries that were really long in length!
The length of the fries are about the length of a plastic fork.
They are even taller than a can of coke.

Grilled Greco burger:

Before I started devouring the burger I was delighted how it was neatly wrapped because not all burgers are presented in a nice way.
You could see they put effort in making the burger and each layer was neatly place including the sauce.
The patty was really nice and the texture of it was different, it tasted similar to kofte with herbs.

They also put two slices of cheddar in the burger.

Greek spinach pie:

The spinach pie was my favourite, wholesome spinach in the pie covered with delicate filo pastry.
It was filled with so much spinach!

If the pie had been warmer it would have been perfect.

Palak Paneer @ Ebeneezer's Kebabs & Pizzeria

Had a craving for Indian rice again so went to Ebeneezer's for a curry.

I chose the Palak Paneer.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Palak Paneer:
This is basically pureed spinach and Indian farmer's cheese.

It does not look appetizing but it tastes nice and light.
There was finely grounded chilies in it so it was quite spicy.
In UK, this dish is called Saag Paneer (saag meaning spinach) but in Hong Kong it is called Palak Paneer.

Delicious rustique cheese and spinach bread

After reading Menty's review, the cheese and spinach rustique seemd worth trying and the Tart aux fromage as well.

When I got there, they had a similar item to the Tart Aux Fromage but with three cherries on it, I was really tempted to get that too but they looked a bit squashed.
So I ended up getting the Cheese and spinach rustique and the Tart Aux fromage.

Cheese and spinach rustique:

 

 

I got this because there was so much leafy spinach and cubes of cheese embedded in the dough before it was baked.
The taste was good because the cheese was really cheesy complimented by the spinach.
I would have liked the bun to be softer and not so chewy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tart Aux fromage:

 

 

This was really good too, the fromage filling was thick but not too heavy. The sweetness was just right.
Although it is called a tart, it was not actually a tart because the base was made from bread and not tart pastry, but it was shaped like a tart containing sweet fromage.
