@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.

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 :)

Lunch @ Coco Espresso, Sheung Wan

Coco Espresso again! I can't help it, their coffee is just too tempting! :p

Tuna cheese toast

Eggs with bacon and toasts

It was love at first sip! No doubt! The caramel CAPPUCCINO is my NO.1! Taste wise same as caramel latte but it is the extremely thick layer of foam that has made me fall in love with this coffee instantly! *^_^* P E R F E C T O !

Coco Espresso, Sheung Wan

Thanks to a coffee lover friend, I've found one of the best coffee shops in town! Coco Espresso is the heaven for coffeeholics like me! Johnson is a super nice and funny guy and he makes excellent cappuccino and caramel latte! ^_^

Small but cozy coffee shop, sociable barista who very much enjoys chatting with his customers :)

A cappuccino for me...

... and a mocha for my friend!

Roast beef toasted sandwich with wasabi mayo, gherkin, tomato and lettuce

Almond muffin

After the delicious cappuccino, I wanted to try their caramel latte too and ordered myself a 2nd cup of coffee! 2 cups of coffee in a row was very unusual for me! ^o^

What makes their coffee so special is the thick layer of very smooth milk foam combined with the pleasant aroma and rich flavor of coffee ^_^ Just h e a v e n l y !

I'm coming back soon, Coco Espresso!

Opera Patisserie (part 2)

Yup, my mum went to Opera again today and bought some freshly baked bread and cakes. The multi grain bread and rolls were very crunchy and filling! I was already full after 2 slices ^o^. As for the cake, it had a very fluffy texture but tasted not buttery enough.

Again, the egg rolls were all sold out, hopefully more luck next week!

Toast Box, Tsim Sha Tsui

Toast Box opened their first outlet in Hong Kong in Aug, the coffee house is located at Silvercord in TST.

Toast Box mainly serves Nanyang traditional coffee and Kaya toast. Kaya toast is a common snack in Singapore and Malaysia. This popular coco jam is usually spread with butter on toast, bread and crackers.


Me and my cousin ordered their bestseller Traditional Kaya Toast set with fried eggs and Nanyang hot coffee & Floss Thick Toast set with fried eggs and Nanyang hot milk tea to share.

The Kaya toast was amazingly good, very rich and not too sweet. Quite high in calories though because of the butter (no more quota left for the rest of the day!)

The Floss Thick Toast (which is in fact toast topped with pork floss) was nice too but not as delicious as the Kaya toast.

Unlike the Nanyang coffee (in my opinion it tasted like regular coffee), the Nanyang milk tea was pretty good because of its rich aroma and taste (see picture) .

Although both toast sets were extremely high in calories, frankly the portion was rather small and we decided to try their pandan cake too. The cake was freshly baked and fluffy, however I still prefer the pandan cake that has much stronger pandan fragrance and a firmer texture.

The butter they use for the toasts? It comes from this huge mountain of butter!

My cousin loves the Kaya toast so much that she bought 2 jars of Kaya with honey, one for herself and one for me as souvenir! ^.^ Yeah! Tomorrow Kaya toast breakfast at home!
