I think I read about the Ka Mei Cake Shop in HK Magazine as it once highlighted shops in this…read moreneighborhood. This is a small locally owned spot selling lots of bakery goods, so much so that the product spills out onto display cases they have parked outside the shop on the sidewalk. Seemed like your standard bakery shop, but they did not have much of a cookie selection, as others often have. We bought some breads. They were good, but nothing super special. It appears they make everything on sight. Nobody is speaking English, so know your baked goods and sharpen your point and smile skills if you do not speak Chinese.

For a true homesick brit, this M& S store does provide you with some level of comfort in the form…read moreof food from home. To be honest this place doesn't break any new boundaries nor presents anything that is ground breaking; its still the good old M&S store with their food items. You could find that with any other M&S store. The only difference is that this place does only that- it sells food and nothing else, which to be me is great because it does without the boring parts (I haven't bought a suit from M&S at least). Someone must have told the M&S people about this particular vacant site because they could not have chosen a better location to set up a food shop. With the bridge from the North Wanchai office towers going towards Queens Road East, this is the perfect place to stop by and grab something whether you are walking back home or taking the MTR. Moreover, there's a gym upstairs (was) which also caters for some people who go to the gym after work. The food is the standard fare and exactly as I want it- Shepherds Pie, Yorkshire Pudding and bourbon chocolate biscuits. yes its 30 degrees out there but I don't care, I miss the rain and the greyness so the closest I can get is with some proper grub. There is also a huge selection of frozen food items ranging from pies to pizzas so there's something for everyone. A small wine selection is also there and I am happy to report that its not as poor as I thought it would be. Never thought i'd say this but good on ya, M&S!

It's funny, I have an image of quality and tasty food for M&S and a really poor one for their…read moreclothes. I used to live in the UK and, honestly, even though I liked it, I barely bought anything there unless it was really especial, like some cheeses that I couldn't find in Sainsbury's. But I must admit that I was happy to see M&S here in Hong Kong. And this branch is right downstairs from my gym so I walk past every other day. I can't recall the number of times I've been inside checking something out and haven't bought anything. It's just not worth it, it's SO EXPENSIVE! Just as an example, a little 150 gr. bag of nuts is around 45HKD...come on! And that applies to pretty much anything. If you like ready made 'English' food (sounds appealing huh?) you may like it as that's what they are really good at. You pay a higher price for the convenience but it's good. Two good things about his place: cheese and wine. The cheese selection is not greater than any other supermarket and around the same price, but you can find a couple of odd cheeses there, different from the range at other stores. And I'm a fan of their wines. I found a great one there, that a friend recommended to me, it's a Spanish garnacha grape wine called La Sabrosita. It's a thick red wine priced at less than 100HKD and I love it. For such a small store, the space taken by wines and the selection they have is really impressive. Okay, their chocolates are okay too (I only care for dark ones though). They only have a couple but it's great to find different brands from the main supermarket chains. And this applies to every other item in their store.

Woo! Not that bad. It's a vegetarian Chinese food restaurant that cooks everything with coconut…read moreoil, or so they claim. They have typical like laksa soup noodles, Singapore fried noodles, fried udon, curry. There's a big menu on the wall when you walk in, and it's almost always busy. You order, you sit (anywhere there's a seat), and eat. I actually recommend coming in two's so one will grab a table, the other orders the food. If you visit by yourself (which is even better), you'll get a seat pretty fast because people eat and leave fast. There are cleaning ladies who will locate a newly empty seat for you. The food is really good!! I love their Singapore fried noodles, it's still really oily but it's much lighter in comparison to typical Chinese food. The laksa is very light in laksa flavour but very heavy in in coconut. It's not the typical prawn laksa that you'd know. To me, there's a small hint of laksa flavour plus coconut curry. It's mildly spicy. Their yellow curry is really good too! Their soy milk has no sugar so it's just pure soy milk in all its rawness. Have you had that before? Once you drink this, you'll realize that the soy milk you knew is packed full of sugar. Next to the Loving Hut is their natural/vegetarian shop that sells brands like Seventh Generation, and others I've never seen. They have baked goods and no-chemical soups and shampoos. And jelly.

Wasn't too impressed by this "upstairs" cafe…read more My friends and I arrived at the cafe around 4:30 and we're told that we had to leave at 5:30. That's when tea time ends. I didn't try out any of the food so I couldn't comment on it. I just ordered an English Breakfast Tea. They charged $2 extra for milk. The service was really slow and I had to ask for the sugar. The decor and ambience was great though! I particularly liked the doodles on the walls and the sofas. Really stylish and comfy. The cafe was very quiet, so as most "upstairs" cafes. It's good for studying and meeting friends.

The interior is perfect for a lazy afternoon, where they have rooms for us to sit-back and enjoy…read morethe quietness. Nope. I didn't stay there for the afternoon. I came for dinner. There were about 5-6 tables filled while I was there. All other customers were so considerate and held their voices low while chatting. Maybe that's the power of the atmosphere. They had a minimum charge of HKD120 in dinner time. So I ordered a Seafood Bento Box and a Special Drink. It does take a bit longer than expected for the dish but the taste was nice. So I will not complain. I still think this place is perfect for chilling out.
