You've heard of pizza.
But pizza cone?
I was intrigued!
They've successfully grabbed my attention. Let's give it a try.
I ordered the Italian pizza cone, and it looks...cute.
Was it good?
It promises tomato sauce, cheese, cooked ham, mushrooms, oregano and salami.
But it was mostly tomato sauce and cheese (but at least there was really lots and lots of cheese, down to the bottom of the cone).
See! Lotsa cheese!
It's...interesting.
The pizza cone or crust...was a little too thick and crispy...kind of hard (I guess because it has to hold the filling/pizza topping), to the point that it could inflict some damage to my gum if I were not careful (but I was)...but it's not that bad. It would make quite a good snack, it would be much better if the cone can be a little thinner and not as hard.
SC was being a little unadventurous and ordered the lunch set of penne in spicy tomato sauce with orange juice.
The pasta was nicely cooked, the spicy tomato sauce could be a little spicier, it was a little too subtle for me, but overall, not bad.
Caffe Pascucci offers quite a selection of coffee themed drinks and desserts...which all looked amazing (I made a mental note to go back next time and try them)...but I had a huge weakness for...that's right. Soda.
Coffee soda.
In Indonesia, we have coffee cream soda, which is a tad too sweet, but this one's just perfect!
Not too sweet, and surprisingly refreshing, especially when it's served with a slice of orange (I didn't expect that).
The perfect thirst-quenching summer alternative to the usual creamy and milky cold coffee drinks.
The meal cost us HK$149 for two.

Thanks Rita for highlighting all the wonderful places for good food. If I ever visit HK, I'll know what to look out for.
ReplyDeleteNot too sure why this craze for bubbly coffee, I have a bottle sitting in my pantry but am too scared to try it, hehe! Maybe it will taste better with some orange slices in it?
ReplyDeletewe have a coffee soda here called Manhattan Special that you can buy in supermarkets...it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat pizza cone looks GOOD. I need to try to recreate something like that. I think it looks like the perfect drunk food.
Totally craving a pizza cone now and I don't even like pizza. I think it's the cheese that got me!

Seriously, you have all the interesting stuff there, pizza cone and coffee soda, wow!
ReplyDeleteWa!!!!
ReplyDeleteCoffee and soda sound like a good mix... Yeah the pizza cone does look hard.
ReplyDeleteOoh how cool! My local mall used to have a store named Crispycones which sold stuff in a cone like pizza cone. Wasn't very successful though. Yours look fabulous though even if the crust is a bid hard!
ReplyDeleteI remember years ago when I had wonton noodles at Langham Place...maybe this time I'll try out this!
that pizza cone looked so awesome sexy! drooling my eyes already! I am drowning! rescue me!
ReplyDeleteOh wooowww pity bout the hard cone but still very interesting! And all that chhheeeesseeeeee, much <3
ReplyDeleteCoffee soda? Pizza in a cone? It's feels so wrong, but..............mmmmmmmm
ReplyDelete(Can you guess we've nothing like that in Britain?)
