They have a couple options but I went the 1) instant noodle factory workshop and 2) cup noodle workshop. + instant noodle factory workshop - I had a BLAST! You get to create your own unique pack of instant noodles in 1.5 hrs. They teach you how to mix, fold, and cut your dough. Then they help steam and fry the noodles for you while you get to design your own packaging. Everything is in both English and Cantonese so its definitely very tourist-friendly. They also give you ample time to take pictures; pacing was great! Loved the 1:2-4 ratio of staff to attendees; felt like I was given a good balance of autonomy and help. They accommodate from little kids to older adults. Also loved how they called to remind you about the workshop a day before because its important to be on time!! + cup noodle workshop - also had lots of fun but felt that the 30 min time window was a little too short. You still get to not only customize your own cup noodles with 4 different ingredients and 1 soup base, but also design the packaging. This workshop is a little cheaper so it makes sense that it wasn't as exciting as my first one, but still had fun overall! + the exhibit ends with a store with lots of instant noodle flavors and other memorabilia. I felt that the prices were really reasonable for the amount of fun I had and the hands on activity you get to participate in! Reserving tickets were super easy via their website. Definitely worth stopping by!

It would never cross my mind to want to learn to make the love of my life,bread, from scratch, be it a Totoro one too ! Having ultra efficient friends and with speedy reply from the owner, I was able to book a Saturday class within a week of inquiry. I was able to book a private class with two of my friends and we were able to request to make what we wanted. The whole baking process takes around 4.5 but we actually took almost 6 hours ( opps!). Pâtissier Denise was very patient with us despite our overrun. She would explain each step very carefully and share with us her cooking experiences . You can definitely feel her love for what she does and the energy definitely resonates in her class. It was the perfect Saturday afternoon to be with my friends . I will definitely be back to get more baking done.

I was so excited when this store first opened. It looked like it had everything I need to bake a…read morecake.... until I realised that my kitchen didn't have a proper oven.. Nonetheless, I came into this store just to look around to see if there's anything interesting. Indeed it was, it was filled with baking accessories, goods, and basically everything you could imagine to bake a cake. Although I didn't have an oven at home, i still miss baking. So knowing that they host baking classes here, my friends and I signed up. A group of us came, i think it costed us about $300 for a class. We chose the macaron class. I have joined these classes before but found that a majority of the time, all the ingredients would already have been prepared and in the end you didn't learn anything at all. This class started on time, there were about 12 of us, which is a little packed and there were some late comers as well. We each had our own area to bake and the teacher started to teach us how to make macarons. From my experience, the teacher was not very patient. He got frustrated at some of the students who did things wrong. Not everyone is a master baker. I think he should realise that. It kinda put us off a little bit. Regardless, at least the macarons turned out nicely. I haven't been back since, maybe because I was a little intimidated by the teacher or perhaps I just got really busy. It's a cool experience, at least with this macaron class, we actually got to measure out everything and did it as if we were baking at home. props to that.

REVIEWER # 1 Are you…read moreon vacation and looking for a good souvenir to bring back to your colleagues? Voila! Get these and they will love you! This bakery is an old bakery in China and has tons of history! They are famous for their egg roll and pork. Very close to Times Square and the MTR station! Koi Kei Bakery is well known in Hong Kong and Macau! This bakery is good and offers a large variety of different pastries and snacks ranging from: Almond cookies, Chinese pastry with pork, peanut candy and many more options. The Portuguese tarts and the cashew nut cookies were my favorite! You can get individual or box pastries. The staffs here are very nice and speak English so I had no problems asking questions. Please note, that this is not a bakery where you can sit down and enjoy your pastries. It's more of a quick pick me up. If you are unsure on how something taste, no worries because more of the Koi Kei Bakeries have samples of different items. Koi Kei Bakery is all over Hong Kong so you will not miss it! The open at 9AM and open as late as 9PM. Make sure if you go, get the egg tart! They seem to be really good! REVIEW 219/196

But don't order the Spaghetti Carbonara :( It doesn't taste like the normal or traditional SC. It had mushroom and onions, a very weird combination with the bacon and egg yolk.

It's a good place for you to enjoy your Friday night after a long week of work :) Average spending per head : around $150 for dinner, CASH ONLY

I made a booking on Dec 29, 2022, at 19:00. Arrived early at 18:38 with the whole restaurant empty. The waitress told me that there's a 90min limit on seating time. I asked her if it starts immediately. If yes, then I go down and wait for my friend. She said there's no need and that she can count it from my booking time at 19:00. She said she can also give me a buffer time until 20:45. My friend arrived at 18:55 and we ordered our meals and drinks. We had a great time and was planning to order our desserts and 2nd drink when the same waitress came storming over yelling at us to pay and leave immediately because time is up and somebody is waiting for the table. It is 19:45. I asked her how is that possible since I made the booking at 19:00 and if there's 90-min seating time, the next table will be 20:30. And even if it's counting from when I sat down, only 67 mins has passed. She interrupts me when I try to clarify by screaming and yelling at me such that the whole restaurant is looking at her. I asked her if I can at least finish my dinner and drink. She refused and repeatedly hurry us to leave every 10sec. We finally left at 19:55. When we left the restaurant, there's no one waiting and one other empty table. It is normal in HK to be hurried away if you go to the infamous Lin Heung Kui or Australia Dairy Company, but even these two restaurants have better service than Cafe Zense. Aside from that, it does not have any other alternatives for milk or decaf options like other cafes.

The Yelp app came to the rescue by suggesting we visit Greenfingers. On a Saturday afternoon, the place was buzzing with customers, both local and expat. They offer a ton of services here; everything from basic flower arrangements to landscaping, office decor, and weddings. In-store, you can also get small potted plants (like succulents) along with beautiful orchids. They have a good range of pots and vases, and we were easily able to find a medium sized, cylindrical fiberglass vase for the bamboo shoots we were looking to get. Pricing for the one we wanted was surprisingly affordable at $180! Afterwards, we took a quick walk to Graham Street, found a flower stall, and got our bamboo plants (8 of them for good Feng Shui!) I now finish writing this review admiring our beautiful new plant in our common area!

This place a Belgium pub was open and the guy said arrive in 20mins you can place a food order. We rushed over in 18 minutes lol! Upon being seated the waitress says kitchen closed! My heart sank at that moment! I hadn't eaten dinner and was incredibly hungry. Jay O immediately said no I spoke to a gentleman who said if we got here in 20 mins we could order food. The manager then said yes they can I told them they could. That alone is the reason for 5 stars!! Lol luckily for us the food was amazing as well! Our first meal in Hong Kong ended up being Belgium food but amazing German food. Their gulden drak beef stew! Man so gooood! It came with a side of Belgium style mashed potatoes. We also ordered French fries and chicken wings. Fries were excellent and well seasoned. The chicken wings flavorful but yet extremely soggy. Jay O said it might've been because the oil had been turned off for some time so it was hot when they dropped them in. The selection of Belgium beers are amazing! Pages upon pages! Few drafts but plenty of bottles! The manager was very cool and talkative. After they were closing we headed to another bar he recommended and said he would meet with us to have a few drinks, he did and we had a great time!
