久聞Brunch Club乃一眾早午餐族的聖地，屬於早午餐族的我卻一直未有拜訪，說起也慚愧。第一次來是和朋友LR在別處吃完brunch後的下場，主要是吃甜的。由於很好吃，自然就有第二次，來吃鹹的。
I have always heard the good things about the Brunch Club but never really got the motivation to try. Earlier this year after having a brunch with my friend LR, I was craving waffles and Brunch Club just popped in my mind~
Soho的分店聽說面積比銅鑼灣的少，有露天的一角。店內除了有普通的檯及椅子外還有梳化的座位。不過我不太喜歡梳化，因為高度較低，吃東西不方便。我常常想既然是brunch，顧名思義是早餐及午餐合二為一，而早餐及午餐的用餐時間應是一天中陽光最好的時間，但Brunch Club內卻是暗淡的燈光，倒似是讓情侶來談情。不過好像The Flying Pan的燈光都是這樣的。另外，店內的檯偏小，不會坐得很舒服，要舒服就去酒店吧。
The branch at soho is smaller than that at Causeway Bay but there is a alfresco dining area. There are normal chairs and tables as well as sofa. Eating at sofa is not my thing, I prefer sitting properly while eating.
下午茶的時間來到店內大慨是70%滿吧，不用等位的感覺真爽。銅鑼灣的分店應該是下午12時開始便要等位。
I got there in the middle of the afternoon and luckily, the place was not full! I was told for the CWB branch, the waiting starts as early as 12 noon.
根據到訪的時間順序，先說甜的。Let's start with the sweets~
Banana Walnut Caramel Waffle - Waffle一來到的時候真的是眼睛先吃，每件鬆餅都淋上焦糖，再鋪上同樣是沾滿焦糖的香蕉，放在雪白的碟上，看到就是賞心悅目。不得不說，新鮮製造的鬆餅暖暖很好吃。有坑紋突出的部分較脆，鬆餅中間軟得來帶點兒煙韌。焦糖漿不太甜，吃完後不會渴。香蕉應該有稍微的煮過，所以入口軟綿綿的。每一小塊的鬆餅上都有香蕉片，沒有欺場。
Banana Walnut Caramel Waffle - The waffles looked really really nice! Each and every one of them was coated with lukewarm caramel laid with bananas. The waffles were freshly made so it took a bit of waiting but it's certainly worth it! They were soft inside, a bit crispy outside with the perfect texture. Caramel was not too sweet and the lightly-cooked bananas were simply amazing. The portion was huge as well.
Banana Chocolate Pancake - 小時候唯一吃pancake就是在麥當勞吃早餐，件著糖漿。長大後成了brunch迷，menu上如有pancake都很少會放過。Brunch Club的pancake跟waffle一樣都是四小塊的，pancake上是真的鋪滿了香蕉片及朱古力醬。Pancake是較厚身的那一種，質感是軟軟的。不過pancake本身味道不突出，但跟著濃郁的朱古力醬及香蕉一起吃都很好吃。
Banana Chocolate Pancake - When I was just a kid all I knew about pancakes were the ones I got from Mcdonalds, now that I somehow become a 'brunch-person', I'd like to order pancakes whenever they show up on the menus. The pancakes here consisted of four small pancakes and were covered with chocolate sauce, and again, banana slices. But the banana slices here were not cooked. The pancakes themselves were soft and thick enough to really fill you up. I can't say they were flavourful themselves, but the taste of chocolate sauce was heavy enough and it went great with the pancakes, of course.
Chocolate Ice Cream - 由於貪心，所以點了一球雪糕。本以為雪糕會放在waffle上(我應該是這樣點的)，但原來是分開的。印象中這球雪糕挺貴的呢。
Chocolate Ice Cream - I originally thought that the ice cream would be placed on the waffles but I was wrong. It's a 'stand-alone' scoop. It was a nice ice cream, and an expensive one.
先來waffle後上pancake，全是澱粉質，實實在在的大滿足！
The carb and the sugar I have from the waffles and pancakes made my day~
第二次來的時間只為了早餐食品。
Second time here I was determined to get the real 'breakfast food', that is, nothing dessert-like.
Two eggs your style with toast & sides - 我一向不太沈迷english muffin，而且早年吃太多egg benedict/egg royale等等，所以現在已很少會點了。不過我仍然沈迷於流心蛋，所以這個two eggs我當然要選poached，而麵包有數款選擇，我便隨意的點了一款。每份有2個配菜選擇，三文魚之外我亦要了芝士。麵包來說沒有什麼特別，烘燶點的要求做到。烘好的麵包塗上牛油及果醬又怎會難吃？把蛋放上麵包，切下去便是流心的蛋黃。三文魚是普通質素，但普通的我已很開心。
Two eggs your style with toast & sides - As I had had too many egg benedicts/royale in the past few years, I normally would avoid English muffin, although I still love poached eggs. Naturally I ordered two poached eggs on a toast. You can choose from a wide variety of bread and side dishes, which I picked salmon and cheese. With poached eggs on a toast, nothing could go wrong!
KK要的配菜和我有點不同，有蘑菇。蘑菇炒得香亦不油，份量很多，好吃！
KK's sides were mushrooms and salmon and I must say they gave us a very generous portion of mushrooms and they were delicious.
我認為Brunch Club吸引人的地方除了是好吃的食物外，還有它那長長的menu，除了有不少已set定的配搭外，自己也可以按喜好選出想吃的早餐。價錢亦相宜，難怪長做長有。
So I finally understand why so many people are addicted to the Brunch Club. The great food, the menu with too many choices and variety of set, and of course, the price. I would definitely go back again, perhaps the Causeway Bay one.
