Having tea in the green field

This cafe is on the corner but I never had a chance to try it because it is small and often full.
You will never miss it because the green at the top is faded by the sun and the inside looks very old as it were not open.

Anyway, finally tried it one afternoon and had the green tea with roasted rice which was brewed with a tea bag.
There were light lunches available but I already had lunch.


The green tea taste was rather light.

Although it wasn't impressive, I have finally tried this place and there was a nice view of Central where you can see Queen's Road and Wellington Street.

相惜's Comfy cafe

Discovered this comfy cafe so decided to check it out.

There was nice cosy seating inside.


The menu was great because it had waffles, all day breakfast and baked potatoes.

It was interesting that they had a Chinese name too.

As I already had lunch, I ordered a fruit tea.

Fruit tea:

The fruit tea is served hot so you can really smell the apples and lemons in it.
I really liked it because it was not too sweet and I found it extremely refreshing and warming on a cold day but in my opinion I think it would taste better cold.

All you can eat Japanese food

Discovered this place on the way to RedMR, it is located near K11.
There are two sessions and the earlier session is better because there are less people.

As I wasn't very hungry that day I only had the congee and a few pieces of sushi and sashimi.
The flame grilled salmon was really tasty and the congee was nice and light to suit my appetite.

Crap service at Tai Koo's Choux Creme

This branch of Choux Creme is right next to some other stall.
Anyway, when I went to order, there was only one staff there in Choux uniform so I assumed she was the one to approach.
After I approached her, she went to the other stall and poked the staff who then served me.
It appeared that she did not understand English so I spoke Chinese back, anyway they are doing a stamps promotion but she didn't give me a stamp card until I asked.
There were double stamps that day too which I had to remind her.

Ironically the reluctant woman who poked the other staff to serve me had to make the choux creme because the one I wanted was out of stock!!

The apple and cinnamon puff was surprisingly good because the pieces of apple were not too sweet and the choux was light and crispy with light buttery taste.

Maria's molten egg tart

Went past one day and saw these molten ginger egg tarts so decided to try a molten one and an original one.

Both egg tarts had a thick crust which was not really needed and the egg filling had a strong custard taste that was nice but if you are looking for an eggy taste then this is not the one.
The one with the molten filling was disappointing because it had a ginger dumpling inside and the filling was thick puree and not at all runny at all!!




Lobster buffet 2+2 café ( Royal park hotel)

I don't often go to Shatin because it is too far away, but this time I went there for the lobster buffet.

When I arrived I was greated with chilled lobsters and an array of seafood.


The people dining there were well mannered and got their food in an orderly fashion.
The buffet range was surprisingly good because they had quite a good variety.

Seafood grill:



Seafood tempura:



Lobster souffle:



Cakes and macarons:



My favourites were the oysters and they even had roasted pigeon.






The seafood soup was rich and loaded with lobster meat.


After having the mains, I moved on to dessert which was surprisingly good because the cakes were not too sweet with a good variety.


Grandy Mary greets you outside K Town MTR stn

Only tried this because it was right outside the MTR station.

They had softserve, froyo and macaron icecream sandwiches.


Regretted not choosing the softserve instead.

Original yoghurt:

Not my cup of tea because it tasted like Japanese calpis and it was too sweet and icy for my liking.
