Hong Kong Diaries – agnès b. le pain grille
After a night of partying, I wasn’t counting on the girls to be awake in time for brunch, so instead, we opted for high tea at IFC Mall.
Went through the mall directory looking for a suitable place, and finally settled on the agnès b. café. The name agnès b. is more well known for its clothing line, but just like Project Shop in Singapore, they extended their business into F&B.
The café entrance definitely sold the place, with plants and flowers welcoming you as you walk towards the maître d’. I waited for the girls to come before committing to the place, just in case they had other ideas in mind.

So where are my girls? Ah, here they are!

The inside of the café/restaurant wasn’t as impressive as the outside. You get an obstructed view of the sea, because of the balcony columns.The overall vibe was feminine and flirty, but a bit too quiet for my liking.
What we ordered:
La Pâtisserie au choix – Choice of pastries with our coffee, tea or juice
L’assiette de viennoiserie – Choice of mini Danish with our coffee, tea or juice

The food looked good, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say it tasted amazing. It was average, and a bit pricey for what it’s worth. I guess I shouldn’t compare with Singapore prices.
My favourite item would have to be the Lemon tart.
We spent a good hour and a half chatting and trying to recap the dramas from the night before. That’s what I absolutely love about high tea, quality time spent with friends.
