Brunch

Caffe Vergnano 1882 now serves brunch sets on Sundays. The price is HKD88, which is attractive when compared with their a la carte menu items. Also, there is so much to eat in the set! A choice among pan fried chicken, grilled tenderloin and deep fried fish fillet, plus ALL of the following: pasta salad, egg (scrambled or sunny side up), grilled tomato, asparagus, hash brown, fruit juice.

I abandoned the original plan to have just sandwich and coffee, and ordered a brunch set instead. It proved to be rather disappointing. The food wasn't hot enough - that might vary by chance though. Also, they used a bit too much oil, I think. The pasta salad wasn't quite what I expected.

Still, Vergnano is a nice alternative to Starbucks when you want some different food but in a similar atmosphere. Caffe Habitu is nice too.

The even more original plan of that day, however, was to have savoury crepe at the Brunch Club. Sadly, it was full. It occurs to me that we don't seem to have enough crepe eateries here. But I like crepes - I can smell a business opportunity!
