Bubble tea from Gong Cha @Mongkok

Most of the times there's a long queue outside the stall (even during non peak hour and rainy weather) but I was lucky there were just a few people standing in line when I got there.

I ordered Gong Cha's signature beverage "Pearl Milk Tea".
Gosh, the cup was giant! The tea tasted good, texture wise it was smooth and the boba balls were very chewy, I loved it to every sip! Probably the yummiest bubble tea I've ever had! ^_^ Only HKD12 for such a large cup, really worth the price!
I managed to finish the entire cup, though I was full for hours, as a result I skipped my dinner and had late night snack instead :p

Rumour @Tsim Sha Tsui

Apart from the catchy name, the cozy interior and a handful of spelling mistakes on the menu (just to name a few: tomoto juice, cuppaccino and fussy foot? I can't help but wonder if they did this on purpose? Cos it's kinda hard to believe who ever typed the menu could be so careless and neglected to take the time to double-check it?) there's nothing really worth mentioning about this restaurant, food and service are both so so.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka @Tsim Sha Tsui

While looking around for a place for light dinner in the new iSquare mall, this ramen shop caught our eyes because it was the only dining venue that was packed and people were standing in line to get a table.

I tried the combo Shio Ramen with mild and creamy pork broth served with rice topped with dried bonito and green onion. The ramen was cooked al dente and was tasty~

Al Pasha @Tsim Sha Tsui

Ever tried Xinjiang food? If not, Al Pasha, located in K11 shopping mall, is a good choice to start your exotic journey in the authentic Middle Eastern cuisine.

The orient-themed interior with its magical and mystic Moroccan lanterns remind me of Aladdin, Ali Baba and Sinbad of the Arabian Nights...

Al Pasha's decor à la 1001 Nights

Forgot the name, this mocktail was sweetish and very refreshing~

Spices to adjust the taste

House bread topped with onion and butter served with chicken liver and mashed olives

Mezzas Delight: Mint Chicken Cigar, Spinach in Fillo & Ox Tail Dried Fruit

Stir-fried Green Beans with almond and garlic tasted delicious, my favorite! ^^

Boiled Lamb Xinjiang style was very tasty.

Chicken with Naan bread served with yoghurt and condiment

Lan Fong Yuen @Tsim Sha Tsui

I didn't know Lan Fong Yuen opened a new branch in Tsim Sha Tsui until a friend suggested to have tea break there today :)

Love the old Hong Kong style cha chaan teng interior so much ^.^

The bun with butter and condensed milk tasted delicious!

Traditional Chinese snacks

Some typical Chinese snacks that I bought at 奇趣餅家
Kei Tsui Cake Shop in Fa Yuen Street, Mongkok:
Peanut Fried Rice Cake 花生炒米餅, Banana Roll 香蕉糕 , Wife Cake 老婆餅, Soft Cake with Red Bean 豆沙燒餅 , Coconut Moon Cake 椰蓉公仔餅 and Crispy Puff Pastry Cake 光酥餅.

Soulmate Coffee @Kwai Fong

A while ago I saw the introduction of this newly opened coffee shop in U Mag and its name caught my eye right away.
I happened to be around Kwai Fong area the other day to have lunch with a friend and hopped in for a quick coffee break before lunch. The latte was surprisingly good! Very smooth, foamy and well balanced, just the way I like my coffee!
I particularly love the thick layer of milk foam, reminds me of Coco Espresso's! On my top 3 best coffee list, no doubt Coco Espresso ranks first place and Soulmate Coffee second :)

Latte (snapped it with my Iphone)

On my 2nd visit with friends, I tried flat white which was good too, though I still prefer latte. Next time I'll try something with caramel..

Soulmate Coffee is nestled in the crowded Kwai Chung Plaza. Very small shop with a few seats at the counter.

I like the name Soulmate Coffee very much, as well as the little saying "Soulmate shares your bittersweet" and the fish 蘇眉 "so mei" (Napolean Fish, which is pronounced as "so mei" in Cantonese and sounds like soulmate ^^ ) they use as the symbol to represent the coffee shop.

My cup of "perfecto" coffee...

Caramel cappuccino @Coco Espresso

Bought this post card in Belgium...

I like the message on the card, it says:

"THREE CUPS OF COFFEE AND I AM VERY ENJOYABLE"

Cheese & Go-On @Colour Brown, Saikung

Haven't seen Cheese and Go-On for a while and I miss them heaps! Packed my bag with some dog snacks and my LX-3 and headed out for Colour Brown to visit the cute doggies! ^_^

@Rex Caffe, Central

Lunch with a friend at the newly opened @Rex Caffe in Central~

Baguette with mushrooms and bacon

The Spaghetti Carbonara was lip smacking good! Very rich and cheesy sauce~~

If you're a chocoholic, must try their black chocolate. Rich in texture, strong chocolate flavor and luscious in taste.

The cappuccino was not bad, strong espresso poured with a layer of soft milk foam.

Sweetheart Dessert @Sai Kung

Sweetened Black & White Sesame Cream

Black sesame helps to keep your hair, internal organs and skin healthy while white sesame nurtures your skin~

My godson Thomas loves food too!

Enjoying his hot cocoa :)

Today is his 4th birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KITKIT!
A GIANT BIRTHDAY KISS TO YOU!!
