Cute Fei Vegetarian, Tsim Sha Tsui

Today we went all the way to Tsim Sha Tsui for lunch as my parents wanted to try Cute Fei Vegetarian, a Buddhist vegetarian restaurant owned by former TVB actress So Hang Suen.

The interior is very simple, here and there accented with some colorful Buddhist wall decor and ornaments.

Sauteed lotus root slices and tofu seasoned with olive cabbage.

Usually I'm not fond of lotus root especially when added in Chinese soups, however when it's stir-fried and flavored with olive cabbage (甘藍菜) the sliced rotus root tasted surprisingly good! Olive cabbage is a great seasoning for congee too. Apart from the usual fermented tofu, I often add olive cabbage in my congee cos of the strong and salty taste.

Mak choi (Chinese lettuce) stir-fried with flavorful bean paste

Sweet & sour taro chunks: TASTY!

Cute Fei Vegetarian is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for healthy & delightful vegetarian dishes ^^

Dream Cafe, Mongkok

We celebrated 2 gal friends' birthday @ Dream Cafe in Mongkok: lots of food, lots of laughs and lots of b-day presents ^_^

Refreshing drinks: iced Chocolate & Cookies, iced Mocha, Strawberry Soda, Lychee Soda, iced Hazelnut Coffee and iced Double Chocolate~

This Honey Baked Frankfurter sausage tasted amazingly good!

Seafood risotto in cream sauce was very creamy & soft in texture and tasty~

Garlic bread with cheese

Baked potato skin with bacon & cheese

Smoked duck breast linguini tossed in garlic and white wine

Sauteed beef with garlic

Baked mashed potato with escargots

Baked potato wedges with bacon & cheese

The evening was topped off with a yummy Blueberry Cheesecake (from Four Seasons). The fruity taste and soft texture were very similar to the one from Cova.

Applegreen, Mongkok

Had lunch with some friends at Applegreen in Grand Century Plaza the other day. What I like the most about the interior are the colorful contemporary paintings which give a lively touch to the restaurant.

Flavorful tomato soup

The carbonara was good! Al dente spaghetti, tasty bacon and the amount of sauce was just right. The portion is quite big and very filling, you'll have to swim the calories off later ^^.

Cheese Turkey Panini

Coffee is usually served with a jug of fresh milk so I was pretty surprised to see these UCC fresh milk in capsules which I use @ home as well when I make coffee :)

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!
