I have no comment as of yet regarding his chocolates and pastries.

We haven't tasted the chocolates yet!
[ts]
Well, the chocolates are good, from what I remember. Someone gave us a box of those for Christmas. I usually don't like those chocolates in boxes (I like the bars better), but they were good.
Patisserie items: still untasted. We bought some to take home.
Chocolate bars: still untasted.
Chocolate Sparkle Cookies: supposedly the "best cookie in the world". Haha.

The sandwiches: not that good! =(
Thai Crab Salad w/ avocado, cilantro, lemongrass
[ts]
Basically, the flavors in all 3 sandwiches seemed to be a little watered down.
The Thai Crab Salad gets points for having REAL CRAB... but there was too little cilantro and it needed some citrus, dammit! Teehee.

I was disappointed with the sandwiches. They weren't bad, just not as good as I had hoped.
The Thai crab salad sandwich was not "salad-y" at all. It lacked veggies. And I ordered it because of the cilantro and avocado. Though it indeed had avocados, it was lacking in cilantro. I didn't taste cilantro til my very last bite. I could taste the lemongrass in the sandwich, but really, I was craving for anything citrus-y! The whole crab salad (mayo) and avocado and lack of veggies was just weighing the whole sandwich down. It desperately needed something sour/tangy to "perk" it up.
Smoked Turkey & Brie
with red onion marmalade, brie cheese, cranberry & pear chutney (?) on multigrain bread
[js]
Just have to concur with the disappointment vis a vis the sandwiches.
I had the smoked turkey with brie and cranberry+pear chutney. It was on a sourdough-ish brown bread studded with cranberries.
Unfortunately, it really wasn't any good at all. It was quite tasteless. The chutney was non-existent and all I tasted was the brie.
Moroccan Chicken
with Moroccan spiced chicken breast, fuji apples, toasted almonds, watercress, havarti cheese, and mayonnaise on ciabatta
[ts]
The Moroccan Chicken seemed to have garam masala flavors (instead of more "Moroccan" tastes)... but I can't be too sure. But I thought the cheese overpowered the tastes (although, granted, havarti is pretty mild).
[allu]
The moroccan chicken: not that good. well, once again, it's "not the worst". but I've definitely had better. don't really remember much about it. I was just trying to finish it off so that i can walk around the store and buy chocolates.
[ts]
But yeah, sandwiches were disappointing. VIVO! panini are really the best! Teehee.
[allu]
The passionfruit iced tea: I had a sip. Not very passionfruity.
Ok, i'm going to go try the chocolates now!!! so excited!
[ts]
Conclusion: Thomas Haas' MAHND is geared toward chocolates and pastries, haha. (Well, we're not even sure if it's *his* mahnd that came up w the sandwiches.)
