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.

@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.

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!

California Pizza Kitchen, Mongkok

We sat at the huge windows overlooking the busy Dundas Street...

Shirley Temple mocktail

House salad as starter

Spinach Artichoke dip

Chicken Tequila Fettuccine, spinach fettuccine with chicken, red, green & yellow peppers, red onions and fresh cilantro in a tequila-lime and jalapeño cream sauce. Delicious~

The creamy lemon-caper sauce in the Chicken Piccata stimulates your appetite because of the slight sour taste.

The Spaghetti Carbonara that I had was amazingly good!

I could barely open my eyes, felt sleepy .... badly in need of JAVA!

California Pizza Kitchen, Kowloon Bay

After the movies we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. (by the way, I strongly recommend the Thai horror movie "Coming Soon" 陰容院在, being a horror/slasher movie fan myself, I really enjoyed watching it! Scary and thrilling from the beginning till the end, there were quite a few jump out of your seats moments and most importantly the story is well developed and believable with a twisted ending!)
Now back to food...

I tried the Spinach Artichoke Dip with Tortilla chips for the very first time and it was absolutely delicious! The dip is served hot and the combination of spinach, artichoke and melted cheese tastes incredibly good! I could have finished the entire bowl by myself :P

Classic Caesar salad - Dan Ryan's is still the best~

Refreshing "Cold Mountain" mocktail

Yummy Spaghetti Carbonara

Milan Pizza

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!
