Cova Ristorante & Caffe (已搬遷) 新店位置

那天下午，和友人到金鐘cova下午茶自助餐。對上一次食cova 自助餐是幾年前的又一城分店幾年後再光顧，食物更多元化，數量之多，令人眼花撩亂！好想全部一試，可借肚子不爭氣！除了甜點，還有咸點！咸點也有許多選擇！聽友人講，尖沙咀cova分店的晚市自助餐還有意粉吃！基本上這裡每樣食物也精美好味！先吃咸點，這多麼選擇中，極愛芝士菠菜卷！酥皮卷上濃郁的芝士和菠菜，口感香脆爽口，忍不著食多幾件。食到甜點！cova多款招牌蛋糕任食！太吸引了！總有款合心意！每次來cova，無論是堂吃還外賣，我必吃的是Peanut feuillentine (金莎cake) ！之後再吃生果緩和，當中水牛芝士車厘茄串，清新之選！^__^這個甜品自助餐，包一杯鮮榨橙汁或西柚汁~ 也有餐茶/咖啡送上~整體食物水準高，環境舒適，款菜速度快，價錢又合理，若然和英式下午茶的三層甜品搭那類相比，我更愛這豐富任選的自助下午茶，和友人渡過一個甜蜜下午。

每次去COVA食tea buffet，雖然咸點及甜點款式少，件件細細的，但好精美!本人比較喜歡咸點，麵包軟熟，每款食材配搭豐富，有雞蛋，蕃茄芝士，蝦，魚子醬及吞拿魚等，最值得一讚是不會令到麵包濕淋淋，食材又新鮮，不錯!!反觀甜品比較甜，所以沒有有續一品嚐!!

相約好友到Cova Ristorante & Caffe品嚐Afternoon Tea Buffet。Buffet由15:00至17:30，價錢是每位HK$268，包括一杯果汁和Coffee or Tea。上圖的迷你三文治非常美味，最喜歡青瓜蛋沙律那一款，簡簡單單的很清新﹗鹹點比我想像中豐富，上圖只是部份精緻選擇，pizza也有兩款呢﹗ 很喜歡上圖puff上面的parma ham stick，充滿鹹香的parma ham包著鬆脆餅乾條，非常香口滋味﹗另外，甜品當然是Cova的強項，單是上圖的mini fruit tart已極討我歡心，更不用說多款蛋糕，想不到還有大大顆新鮮草莓和其他鮮果，正好解膩 : )最後來一壺Jasmine Tea，茶剛倒出來，便已清香四溢，太享受了﹗這裡服務不錯，座位非常舒適，不會擠，不會吵(唯一美中不足是這裡不接受訂座，建議大家早15分鐘來等候入座)，食物不停加添，源源供應，我與友人都享受了極愉快的下午呢﹗

巳很久沒有來此店帮襯. 太想再來, 終於約了朋友拾回舊日的味道頭盤是Buffet形式, 款式不少, 有Parma Ham伴蜜瓜, Parma Ham的小小脂肪, 在口中蕩樣, 並不油的感覺, 蜜瓜亦香甜爽脆. 新鮮的三文魚, 沒有加任何醬汁都咁鮮甜. 還有不同油浸的椒, Olive, 蕃茄, 沙甸魚, 健康亦美味, 車厘茄亦脹トト, 清甜無比....主菜我選了龍虾, 配料是磨菇和芝士, 微微燒焦的芝士非常香口, 龍虾肉質丰富, 大口大口的非常滿足.

小時候很喜歡吃自助餐，一大堆食物放在面前，想吃甚麼就吃甚麼，結果每次都變成一條小金魚，吃到快要反肚才懂得停下來。人大了，比兒時更饞嘴，又不懂節制，還是少吃buffet為妙!不過，人總要偶然放縱一下自己；這天，我便拉著他陪我一起喪吃一場!Cova Tea Buffet時段為 3 – 5:30 pm，由於不設訂位，所以提早半小時到達餐廳，由侍應帶領我們到buffet table旁邊的其中一張四人檯坐下。這裡的環境尚算舒適寧靜，氣氛輕鬆，自然成為商場內的下午茶熱點。Tea buffet包一杯果汁和一杯tea / coffee，果汁可選擇橙汁、菠蘿汁、西柚汁或蕃茄汁。我們先點了橙汁和西柚汁，前者一般，西柚汁則酸中帶甜且蘊含大量果肉，十分醒胃。看著侍應將一盤又一盤的食物放到buffet table，我的肚子亦開始呼叫了：「很餓~很餓~很餓~!」等了又等，終於等到buffet ready了! 就讓我先試一試鹹點 -- 迷你的三文治和canapés，由不同款式的麵包和餡料組合而成 -- 白麵包、麥包、牛角包和漢堡包，加上蝦、三文魚、鴨肝醬、吞拿魚醬、莎樂美腸、火腿、芝士、蕃茄、生菜或青瓜，配搭出不同

We had spent hours in Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. After the nice walk, we wanted to have a cozy and easy place to have a drink and chit chat. Among all outlets in Pacific Place, we chose this one. I tried one time in TST branch for the afternoon tea many years ago, not a good impression, I must admit. Well, that's why i decided to have it 2nd chance for my final critic~There's the afternoon tea buffet, on saturdays, sundays & public holidays, from 3-5:30pm, charge at HKD228, OMG.

After trying the Quintuple cake by Arome bakery, decided to try the richer version by Cova.It was rich and strong.However it was slightly too hard and not as soft as Awfully chocolates version.

Although having a restaurant right in the middle of the mall is a bit weird, I guess having grew up in HK I've gotten used to it.Their dinner menu is antipasto + primo $320 or antipasto + secondo for around $360. For antipasti you could either select from the buffet or order from the menu. The buffet had a decent selection of antipasti. I had 2 rounds and was satisfied.The bread basket was not bad. Sun dried tomato one was OK, I liked the rye and walnut one. Grissini was not bad either.For main

家人之前已經訂了蛋糕，我負責憑單取貨。一個一磅裝的藍莓芝士：超好味，藍莓不酸，鮮甜，不是廉價的藍莓。整個蛋糕甜度剛好，不太甜，芝士軟綿綿的，我個人不太喜歡吃硬身的芝士餅服務：-普通，無特別環境：-裝修有歐陸的風格，與西餅很配合

呢間Cova啲質數時好時壞,一時啲待應妹妹又木又開口夾着脷,第二次去全部人又唔同晒,個部長同啲待應姐姐又好傾又送蛋榚。啲食物都係變幻莫測;試過兩次自助頭盤一次就好好食,但好似今次咁難食真係要同佢割蓆今次啲三文魚、Parma Ham 同其他沙律菜好似亂葬崗,選擇小得可憐,賣相衰過廚餘,那晚重要冇乜客。重有佢地竟用綠色密瓜配啲煙三文魚!佢地話哈密瓜冇貨所以用密瓜頂檔!味同質感跟本唔係一樣,點可以咁代替?一間高級餐廳去到咁求其,代表可以唔駛再回頭。呢間Cova由以前內舖變成今日的半公開式格局,畀途人同名店內職員望住晒食野,以經好唔自在,依家食物重要咁差,睇蒞有排都唔會再去

話說斷斷斷續續幫襯了某電話網絡供應商也有十多年的時間,但從未享受過任何的優惠(因身邊朋友成日話舊客户有乜送有物送)可能去年轉用了高用量的月費計劃吧,今年終收到了一張生日卡!內裡咐有一張可免費換領蛋糕或紅酒的禮券.不喝酒的我當然是選擇蛋糕.於是就趁限期內換了回公司和同事分享.MIXED FRUITS ON BAKED CHEESE----本來是想要DOME那款蛋糕底的,但手快快指錯了這款芝士蛋糕!面層各種莓類酸酸的味道正好中和了這個厚實味濃的芝士餅底.一磅半的蛋糕看上去像很容易便可以K.O.雖然已分成八份但各人把自己的份吃完後也飽肚感十足.

因為未試過食COVA, 今日因參加完紅棉道的觀禮就去試下....點知...如果有早知...我同朋友都唔會去...情願貴少少都去酒店食Tea buffet算....等就唔耐....安排好座位..我們睇咗menu3分鐘..都無人SERVE我們..連刀叉都無人SET..水又無1杯...都我們看完個MENU有咩食...(都無咩SET,得意粉或散叫)...舉手叫人都用咗3-4分鐘..先有人見到(我唔覺果到有成千尺.....咁都可以見唔到)..有人來...要我們開口...比水同SET 枱..先有人幫我們...(我食咩你都要比...工具架...唔通你果度食印度野...用手架...都唔知咁算唔算係高級地方的餐廳 ><...唔通我去咗油麻地的茶餐廳?反應分分鐘比茶餐廳還慢......)講真...咸點就真係好唔得...個pizza仔...連刀都鋸唔開...唔知用咩麵粉整....甜品都得朱古力同有燕麥片個隻先OK..其他...就真係平平無奇囉.... 最後...上茶或咖啡...我朋友隻杯...內...還有少少茶漬.......我們6人一致裁定不用再試.....

My mom, boyfriend and I picked Cova for afternoon tea because it was close to us (Pacific Place, Admiralty) and that the buffet went until 5:30pm. Although not as refined in presentation and quality as the other surrounding hotels, at $128HKD per person (as opposed to $228) it is quite a good deal.The buffet has small little sandwiches, little cookies and pastries, along with some hot hors d'oeuvres and cakes.Buffet pictures of food are always strange looking. Unless I place it on my plate corr

3點鐘到去到，唔使等就有位，入到去，甜品buffet仲未準備好哂，大約等左10分鐘到先開始，d甜品整得好靚好精緻，我一開始忍唔住就食甜品先，其實果度都有其他咸既小食，都整得好精緻，好多小食都唔知叫咩名，但味道唔錯，食完甜品先食小食反而冇咁滯

係珠寶展做完個SHOW, 大家一齊去吃飯慶工。選擇了環境不算多人而又坐得舒服, 又可以嘈少少的COVA。服務員很耐心講解MENU上的每一個細節後,我們點了3個SET,一個以STEAK, 一個以龍蝦, 同一個以三文魚做主菜。係SET係可以跟SALAD BAR BUFFET,尼個SALAD BAR有多達20款的食品。有蝦, 煙三文魚, 不同種類的HAM, 當然有菜啦, 仲有通粉........真係行多2轉個SALAD BAR都可以食飽。雖然我個同事話D HAM比佢係西班牙果D遜色, 但都算OK。至於D菜就新鮮啦, 服務員一見到就無就會擺返D新的上個盤。到個主菜,我就嫌我個同事叫7成太熟啦。雖然食落都有少少JUICY感覺, 但我覺得4-5就好啦。另外個三文魚就除左整得靚之外,都煮得唔錯, 個醬汁配合得好好, 不會過膩。當然佢有好香的三文魚味啦。最後個龍蝦我就配左意粉。個茄汁同個龍蝦都好夾變得好好味。雖然話係成隻龍蝦, 但我都略嫌少左d肉, 可能係d肉太好味有d唔夠。過左3個主菜後,就到我最喜歡的環節啦。就係甜品啦。一款chocolate cake, 一款buleberry cheese ca
