Souper duper soups at Souprb

There are lots of options for Chinese soups in Sheungwan like Soupreme 湯品小棧, Souper Authentic 球哥燉湯 and 靚湯王 at Dor dor eatery (with rude service) but NONE for Western soups unless you go all the way to TALLORE in Wanchai.

Finally Souprb has popped up serving soups with 5 choices which they change every week. The soup choices were impressive because there were 4/5 that I wanted to try: pumpkin, beetroot, Mexican chicken, portobello and chestnut, Prawn and crab gumbo (premium choice +$10)

As a soup fan, I got the tasting set which comes with two soups while my friend got the Stew set which comes with rice and a curry. They also had toasties which I really really wanted to eat as well.

We both added $30 for the made to order freshly pressed juices which were refreshing but a bit too sweet.

+++++++++
Tasting set:
Prawn and crab gumbo soup + Mexican chicken

+++++++++
Stew set:
curry, rice and chestnut and portobello mushroom soup


The curry was Japanese curry served with Japanese rice.

+++++++++
As for the soups, the chestnut portobello mushroom was really good, it was thick and there were so much mushrooms and chestnuts in it.
The gumbo was a little disappointing because the cajun and spiciness was not strong enough and there were bits of shell in the soup.
The Mexican chicken tasted like Chinese style borscht soup with chicken added to it.
Will definitely be back for the toasties but the tasting set was not very filling, but then I probably have a big appetite.

It can't get any more RAW than this at Mana! Raw

Discovered this place after dining at the Butchers Club.


They offer lots of raw juices so tried the CHI.

chi:

This was a blend of red cabbage, cauliflower, kale and carrots

It had a strong grassy taste with a bitter tone to it.

Juiced up and healthy

A while ago I spotted this juice joint because of the pomegranite juice so I made a mental note to come back.
I was having dinner nearby so I went there and they were just about to close but luckily I managed to get some juices.
It was really hard deciding which juice to get but since I couldn't decide I ended up getting three drinks because I am so busy that it will be a while when I will be in Central again.

Each menu was handwritten on a colourful sheet of paper with perfect colour sense of contrasting colours.

There were five main fruit bases:
Kiwi, blueberry, avocado, fig and pomegranate.




For the pomegranate juice they have three different types: Sweet, Sour and Snow white which come from Japan.
Here were the three drinks that I had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Avocado yoghurt shake $30:[/b]
I had to order this because not many places serve avocado drinks except Indonesian joint but the version they do is really sweet and here you have more avocado drink choices such as yoghurt or fruit juice that are blended in it.
I love avocado so I went for the yoghurt shake so it was pure avocado and yoghurt and it tasted amazing because it was thick and creamy with a strong avocado taste that was not too sweet.
It is interesting that the yoghurt is garnished with two slices of lemon on top.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Fig smoothie $38:[/b]
This was another drink I fell for because they use FRESH FIGS to blend this drink which means you get the natural fig taste.
I was impressed because it wasn't watery and there were a good amount of figs that you can truly taste the fig and the hint of grassyness of the fig skin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Sour pomegranate juice $43:[/b]
I was warned that the sour pomegranate would be very sour and indeed it was, the taste was acidic just like lemon but there was a sweet aftertaste.
They also have a blend of sweet and sour pomegranate and the snow white pomegranate juice which I shall try next time.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
I am definitely coming back again but it will be hard choosing a drink so I will probably just order them all!~!!!

Purple shock from Maxim's MX

I have always thought that Maxim's MX was boring so when I walked past I was shocked and stunned to see that they had Sweet purple potato juice.
After I ordered it people began to order it because they didn't seem to notice it or they were not brave enough to risk it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
[b]Sweet purple potato juice:[/b]

The juice was quite thick with pieces of sweet potato lumps in it and the sweetness was just right with a fragrant purple sweet potato taste.
It is almost like having a Chinese sweet soup but the sweetness is not so intense.
The drink is good for breakfast because it was very filling but having a cup of it is a bit too much!!

Wholesome veggie juices made by Veggie Boys

I love the concept at Veggie Boys because it is young and fun.


At the juice joint, all the vegetables and fruits are neatly stored in the fridge.


On the wall, there is a juice selection.



The juices are made to order so you will see the boys weighing the required amount before the vegetables are blended.



Since my first visit, the prices have gone up.


Each juice has a different nourishing property.
I chose the SKIN which had pineapple, apple, avocado and romaine lettuce.

The bill was only $2 Thanks to Ivy because she bought a package of prepaid coupons so if you choose something that costs more then you pay the difference.


I adored this drink because it was lovely and thick, the juices did not separate and held together all the way through.
As for the taste, the avocado was really prominent which was why I liked it with faint notes of apple and pineapple that balanced out the creamy and heaviness of the avocado.

Overall I was impressed by the drink and their enthusiasm.

Pressed Juices selling fast

Pressed Juices is an Australian brand by Leo Pegoli which started when he returned to Melbourne after his sports scholarship in the USA.

Quoted from their website:
Pressed Juices extracted by cold pressing is the most nutritionally complete juice available, and contains up to 5 times more vitamins, minerals and enzymes than juice made by any other method. Each morning our fresh produce is slowly cold pressed - no additives, no pasteurisation or preservatives, just live juice - and immediately bottled to ensure a shelf life of up to 3 days when refrigerated. Whether you're interested in a detox or cleanse program, or a daily juice to get in more servings of fruit and vegetables, Pressed Juices can help you feel your best both physically and mentally.

At the store, they have so many series to benefit the body in different ways and they have samples so that you can taste before you buy.




By the time I got there, 98% of their juices were already sold out!!


These were the juices I liked.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
greens 3:
apple, celery, cucumber, ginger, kale, lemon, lettuce, parsley, spinach

The greens 3 was refreshing because it had lemon juice and my other favourite greens.
This was the ultimate one for me as it was natural and unsweetened.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
boxed water:


I got this because I liked the carton.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
almond mylk:
almonds, dates, filtered water, sea salt, vanilla bean

For the sweet drinks, I loved this one because it had a strong vanilla taste and it was quite thick and filling.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
zest 4:
coconut, cucumber, lemon, pineapple
The zest 4 was soothing and appetizing because of the pineapple and coconut.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Everyone has different preferences, the three above reflect the flavours I like.
