Relaxing meal at Kam Heung Vegetarian

I have always wanted to try this place but they never display the daily dishes.
On this visit I finally realized that when people dine here they have to order it from the kitchen where they can see what dishes there are to choose.

Here was what I chose.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★I
Bittermelon and tofu roll:

I was a bit disappointed with this because it was cooked with black bean but lacked black bean taste and the bittermelon was not soft enough.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Beetroot soup:

The beetroot soup was quite nice, it was earthy with the sweetness from the beetroot.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Although the food could have been better, the environment was peaceful and the lady in the shop was really friendly.
Next time I will probably try their quarry bay branch.

Peach Agar pudding @ 麗姐私房曲奇

I was surprised to see a cookie shop on this street and it was new one so went in.
This shop has other branches in Causeway Bay and Happy Valley.
The owner is from Singapore and sells Asian style cookies such as meat floss rolls and egg floss rolls.
They also had cakes but I was disappointed they didn’t have the famous Singaporean Pandan cake or Pandan flavoured items.
I was not hungry that time so I just got a Pearl barley drink and an Agar Pudding. The Agar pudding had three flavours: Pineapple, peach and egg.
I tried the peach because it was different.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pearl Barley drink
The drink was light and refreshing and not too sweet.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Peach Agar Pudding
Quite sweet and the agar had peach flavouring.
There was also real pieces of peach in the agar pudding too.
The peaches were canned peaches.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Clear opaque herbal jelly @ 藥生堂

Noticed on their menu the white grass jelly, so finally tried it, apparently it is meant to good for your respiratory, the owner said it was made of fruit, and a high source of fibre.
Although it is called white jelly, it is not white.

I got a bowl to take away, it was nice the syrup was a separate tub, I tried it without the sweetener and the jelly itself had a faint taste of sweetness, the appearance of the jelly was not white, it was crystal clear. The texture of the jelly was like grass jelly, although slighty chewier than grass jelly.

Eating desserts in a classroom @ 嚐糖

As well as this dessert house that is furbished like a classroom, there is also one in Sheung Wan called Sweet Classroom.
http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/reviews.htm?shopid=31815
I have always wanted to go to the one in Sheung Wan, but its too far, but I do intend to try it as they serve mostly western desserts and souffles.
I have a feeling that Sweet Classroom opened before this one opened.
The classroom at Sheung Wan is much bigger.
Anyway, I have decided to give this one a try and compare it with Sweet Classroom later. The menu design is similar to Sweet Classroom, it is one of those school exercise books.


This little dessert shop is located at the end of some dark street in TKO, passing some restaurants, mechanics to get to it.
When you finally get there, the place is quite tiny, there are about 5 school tables inside, sitting approximately 10 people.
Although it is a tiny shop, the decoration inside was quite nice, I couldnt help taking pictures, although not all are posted here.





For the dessert range, it is mostly the usual Chinese range and Bird's nest dessert, so I picked the papaya served with young coconut agar jelly, and the durian with agar jelly, but the owner said both had the same jelly, even though one saids coconut agar jelly, and the other one is just plain agar jelly.
In the end, I just picked the Durian because I don't eat Papaya anyway.
When it came, it was durian meat served in the middle with pieces of young coconut agar jelly squares placed around it.

I ate the durian and the agar jelly separately, and I do not advise to eat them together, because you cant really taste what the agar jelly tastes like.
Anyway, the durian was just durian, so there was nothing much to write about that, but the agar jelly was really nice, it was made of young coconut juice, and not too sweet, so it was quite fragrant, and it had pieces of young coconut in it.
Now looking forward to SWEET CLASSROOM @ Sheung Wan, souffle and apple crumble, here I come!!
