Antipasto @Wanchai

The simple yet cozy decor and relaxed ambiance remind me of this restaurant in Belgium where I used to go. Lots of Western customers, mostly Italian, feels like I'm back in Belgium again.
Feeling a bit nostalgic...

Wonder if their pasta is as authentic and good?

We ordered Chicken Caesar Salad and Pasta Antipasto. Though the portion of the pasta was relatively small, taste wise it was ravishing! The fettuccine with salmon pieces and mushrooms has absorbed the rich creamy sauce, very tasteful~

Besides the yummy pasta, the Quesadilla Mexican and juicy BBQ Baby Spare Ribs are worth trying too.

Overall great food, good service. Be back soon!

Zambra @Wanchai

Zambra is a flamenco dance and in Arabic it means "party".

1,5 year ago Felix (from The Corridor) recommended us 2 coffee shops, Coco Espresso and Zambra. Well, for those who have been reading my blog for a while know I'm a big fans of Coco cos Johnson's cappuccino is undeniably the best!

I've been meaning to visit Zambra ever since but haven't gotten the chance to do so until last Sunday.

Me and my friend decided to give their cappuccino a try. When the waiter brought our coffee, the beautifully created coffee art caught my eyes instantly!

Very cute chick

I like the lady's face coffee art the most, very refined and elegant.

Full bodied espresso topped with a thick layer of milk foam. Texture wise not as thick and smooth as Coco's milk foam (I wonder what milk they're using cos it sure didn't taste like Pura). But all in all it's good cappuccino :)
The sharp & cheerful yellow blue cup and saucer are very eye-catching~

Auntie Sweet @Tin Hau

Tsat Hay Noodle and Congee House @Wanchai

Signature "Yi mein noodle soup with shrimps in satay sauce" was scrumptious! Meaty shrimps with springy yi mein noodle basted with robust satay sauce! I just loved it to every bite!!

Fresh fish skin is a real delicacy. It's not as common and popular as the deep-fried version but definitely worth trying....of course if you're not yucked by the look of it :P It might not look appetizing (some say it reminds them of snake skin) nevertheless it's very crunchy and tasty!

Wara Wara Japanese Casual Restaurant @Mongkok

Shirokiya Fruit Punch (a Collagen drink), Scallop sauteed in garlic butter
Spicy French fries, Deep-fried chicken cartilage, California roll and Salmon & fresh veggies in honey dressing.

I prefer Wara Wara to Watami because of its extensive menu of main/side dishes and drinks.
The scallops, French fries and chicken cartilage are very tasty! A must try :)

Coffee break @Coco Espresso

Before dinner, I hopped into Coco for a java break. The moment I stepped in, Johnson greeted me with a big smile
"Hi Wendy!"

After taking a first sip of the foamy cappuccino, I was like "OMG! It tastes H E A V E N L Y!
I forgot how satisfying and powerful Coco's cappuccino was! It was javalicious!"

A coffee break in heaven...

Colour Brown @ Sai Kung

Latte

The hot croissant with tuna and creamy mushroom was really good! It's probably the most delicious croissant I had in Hong Kong! The buttery taste and crispy crust are comparable with the Belgian and French version :)

Colour Brown @ Sai Kung

Remember the playful doggies I mentioned in my previous post about Colour Brown? Don't they look cute and adorable? ^^ Meanwhile I've been to CB 4 times already not only to try their coffee but mainly to visit and play with Cheese and Go-On!
I just love them so much! *^__^*

McCafe's 10th Anniversary CD

HKPCA

I heard about HKPCA, Hong Kong Professional Coffee Association, after chatting with Edwin yesterday. The mission of this newly established organization is to promote coffee culture in Hong Kong and to provide a forum for all sectors of coffee industry and coffee lovers to share their coffee knowledge.

Ever heard of Kopi Luwak? It's the most expensive coffee in the world! They recently held a Kopi Luwak Coffee Tasting Night which I missed!

Colour Brown Coffee @ Sai Kung

Though typhoon 8 was coming, it couldn't refrain me from visiting Colour Brown Coffee in Sai Kung! Yeah, I know I'm a crazy gal ^.^

To quench my thirst for java, I usually go to The Corridor in Causeway Bay and Coco Espresso in Sheung Wan. It takes me about an hour to get to both coffee shops which are located on Hong Kong Island. For a cup of real good coffee, I don't mind traveling far and wide!

After yesterday's visit to Colour Brown, I've finally found a nice & cosy café close to my place, just 20min away! ^_^

Colour Brown is tucked behind the famous "Seafood Street" at the waterfront. From the bus terminal just a few min walk.

It takes no sweat to find the café, you spot it right away because of the antique Chinese wooden carved door. When I asked Edwin (the owner of the shop) whether he named his shop "Colour Brown" because of the color of coffee bean, he said just partly as the name also refers to his favorite color brown and to the brown wooden door :)

Nice & cosy decor

New York Cheese Cake

The Honey Ginger Latte is definitely a must try, I would prefer drinking it when the weather is colder though. Worth mentioning, they use fresh raw honey which is supplied by his aunt who's a beekeeper! ^^ Honey is very nutritious for the skin and helps sore throat. Ginger's got numerous health benefits as well, it warms your lungs and stomach and cures cold, cough...

The latte isn't spicy at all because of the presence of honey giving this very nourishing coffee a sweetish and pleasant taste~

Edwin is just like the other coffee shop owners I know, nice and talkative! Plus he's got 2 cute doggies Cheese and Go-On who welcome you at the door :) On my next visit, I wanna play and take pictures with them!
