Nissin ramen popup store at LOF10 Bar Dining

As a fan of Nissin noodles, I had to check out the Nissin ramen popup at LOF10 in Causeway Bay where they have decorated the place like a ramen joint with ramen bowls and Nissin figures.

On the menu special, there are four sets to choose from ranging from $88-$108, all including a noodle, dessert and drink.

For me, it is super difficult to decide which one to get but in the end I narrowed it down to the two.
It was either the soup or the one with luncheon meat so I settled for the soup one because of the okra.
The ramen turned out really good because the softness was just right and the broth was good with a poached egg which makes the broth even richer.

For dessert, there was the bubble eggette topped with syrup and rose petals.

Finished with a satisfying latte.

New coffees launched at Bei Coffee

Went into Sai Kung again because I was bored and managed to try a new coffee and their apple crumble!

Photos of the coffee joint:


Environmentally friendly tissue.

apple pie:

I was quite surprised the apple pie was freshly made, the apples were sliced when I ordered it.

There was a hint of coffee in the apple crumble because they like to add coffee to their food and the apples were crisp and tangy so the apple crumble was not too sweet.
The crumble had a nice buttery smell without being too heavy.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Coffee with Earl Grey:

This coffee will be launched in May and basically it has earl grey in it.
As a non coffee drinker, I would prefer less coffee and more tea, but it was not that bitter.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Ironman coffee:

Video of the coffee being hand dripped by Bei Coffee's Michael shows the new coffee that will be launched which claims to be a strong one.
The rate of the water being pour in affects the taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The third coffee that will be launched is the Coffee with Rose which would be interesting but I don't like rose.

Hand dripped coffee and Coffee Jam

Bei Coffee (Sai Kung)

Came here again because I was eating nearby.

Here was what I had:

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Caramel banana tea cake:


A moist and dense cake with lots of earl grey tea leaves in it which you can visually see!
It was quite sweet but after adding Coffee jam the cake was much nicer, and there were delicious slices of banana on top of the cake.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Homemade jam with toast:
I was surprised they had coffee jam so I ordered it.
Before it came I was curious on the jams appearance because jams usually look like thick jelly.
When it came, it looked like a paste.

The coffee jam was delicious, it was similar to nutella spread but with a creamy coffee taste that was not too strong or bitter.

As well as coffee jam I was given some blueberry jam incase I did not like it.
The blueberry jam was delicious as well because it was not sweet at all and it had many plump blueberries.

Hand dripped coffee:


Thanks to the owner for the Hand dripped coffee.
I have not tried hand dripped coffee before this and it was likeable but it was still too strong for my liking.

Coffee Academics in Wan Chai

The Coffee Academics (Wan Chai)
For coffee lovers, there is a new coffee joint in Wan Chai, joining the fun with Rabbit Hole, Mansons Lot and Coco Express.

It is located right next to Fook Lam Moon where the tycoon's of Hong Kong hang out.

Coffee Academics obviously made a crowd at the opening with lots of celebrities and guests at their opening.

They even recieved some flowers from famous coffee lover Moses Chan.

Inside the coffee shop, there was a hip coffee bar.


There were attractive stools near the bar area.


As I do not drink coffee, I ordered a spinach and cheese pie.
The chocolate Madeleines were interesting too because they looked liked round flat cup cakes.

The apple and ricotta crumble cake cwas creative too.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spinach and cheese pie:

It was nice that it came with salad unlike other places where they just reheat the pies and plonk it on a plate with nothing.
I was expecting the salad to be ordinary salad with olive oil but the sauce was quite different and nice because it tasted like strawberry vinaigrette.

As for the pie, it was the usual spinach pie filled with canned spinach with a dull green colour.
The cheese in the pie was a nice complement to the pie.

Japanese style coffee house in Sai Kung

Bei Coffee (Sai Kung)

To be honest I hate Sai Kung, but only went into SK to try this new Japanese Coffee house.

I do not drink coffee but I was attracted to their other items such as strawberry milkshake, Japanese style coffee and the red tea souffle.

Arrived in Sai Kung and found this brightly lit clean coffee shop in the lanes.

The logo for this place was nice because it was not the usual local designs it had a fox and this Japanese structure on it.

The coffee house is reasonably spacious and big with about 4-6 tables.



★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Strawberry milkshake:

The strawberry milkshake was shaken in a cocktail shaker, manually shaken by the guy and it had a thick layer of foam on top which was really creamy.
(would have taken photo if I was fast enough).
It was made with their homemade strawberry syrup which has real pieces of strawberries in it and it was not too sweet.

They also use this for their toasts.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Japanese Chicken curry with fusilli:

This was meant to come with rice but they did not have enough Japanese pearl rice so replaced it with fusilli which was even better.
The fusilli they used was smaller than the usual ones you can buy and it was al-dente and more sauce hung to the spiral parts of the pasta.

The curry sauce was slightly bitter and tasted like coffee later confirmed by Bei Coffee.
In the curry sauce I liked the baby carrots which were really cute because you could see how young they were by their diameters.
The colour of the curry was also quite dark probably due to the coffee.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Red Tea souffle:


I loved this souffle because you could see they put so much tea leaves in the souffle and the tea aroma was really strong and you could taste it.

The sweetness was just right and it was my favourite Earl Grey flavour (confirmed by Bei coffee) which I could imediately taste right away.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
The menu:
The menu was simple but it would be good if there were prices on it because some Hong Kongers are quite .......

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Apart from Coffee they also have a good range of teas which you can smell at the counter contained in the labelled jars.
