Our Wonderland (OWL), Tsim Sha Tsui

My B-day dinner with friends at Our Wonderland (OWL)

Original & funny!

Nature's call or not, must visit their creatively designed bathroom!
Don't forget your camera :D


Caesar salad with garlic bread stick

Spicy potato wedge with homemade meat sauce and parmesan cheese: very tasty!

Maguerita pizza with mozzarella cheese and tomatoes

Pasta with smoked salmon in white sauce

Yummy broccoli with rich cream sauce and also very healthy because broccoli contains lots of vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium.

Good Australian red wine

the mint chocolate was not as good as expected, weak chocolate flavour and too watery

Green tea tiramisu

Mango mille-feuille

Happy birthday!

Oliver's Super Sandwiches

Norwegian smoked salmon & egg salad sun-dried tomato panini with caesar salad

Segafredo Zanetti Espresso Bar, Central

Did you know that espresso coffee was invented by the Italians?
Segafredo Zanetti is a leading espresso producer in Italy and throughout the world. The company has over 400 espresso bars in major cities of more than 50 countries. Segafredo Zanetti Espresso Bar Hong Kong serves an extensive array of coffees as well as gourmet foods based on traditional Italian recipes.

Segafredo's logo looks like a smiling cup, very cute :)

Cozy, comfortable & modern interior with huge windows overlooking the busy streets of Central. The staff was very accommodating and attentive, outstanding service! Thumbs up!

Segafredo lives by its slogan "Un Caffè Per Amico" which means a Coffee Shop For Friends.

Me and my friend ordered their set dinner. As starter, mixed salad leaves with extra virgin olive oil and 15-year old balsamic vinegar. The salad was very fresh and crispy~

Linguini with mixed mushrooms to die for! Cooked al dente, with lots of mushrooms, tossed in a thick & rich cream sauce! Just too good to be real!
Worth mentioning, you can have your pasta cooked to your liking: al dente, soft, firm, in cream/tomato or pesto sauce. Just cooked the way you like it ^_^


For good Italian espresso coffee, Segafredo is the place to be. The cappuccino was very foamy, smooth and fragrant.

The apple crumble tart was too sweet for me, like the crunchy crust though.

I will definitely come again for their heavenly linguini with mushrooms and espresso! ^_^
