They even have a coffee bar but doesn't look like any barista are running it at the moment. It's 2:00 pm on a Thursday afternoon.

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.

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.

So yummy! Cute place too! Been here a few times and I've liked all the food/ drinks I've ordered :)read more

The restaurant is small and is easy to miss as the door does not indicate any English name . Be sure to look for a black door and you will not miss it for sure. The house sits approx 22-25 people ( inclusive of 4 bench seating ). It is a rare to find cafe in the Tai Wai area so be sure to arrive early if you do not want to wait . The menu has extensive selection of deserts which unfortunately I did not manage to try after my onigiri set . They serve a few variety of set lunches such as Kobe beef rice set ( was a special menu) , hamburger need rice set ( chefs recommendation), karaage rice set ... Etc I tried the onigiri set and also the hamburger beef set . It was not bad but portions are small for guys ! My salmon onigiri set came with 2 onigiri ( one salmon and the other with corn and bonito flakes. The salmon onigiri had minimal salmon which was disappointing and I wished they toasted my onigiri !! Would have made it so much nicer Overall the hamburger set was yummy . I would definitely come back to try the dessert next time I'm in the area !!

There are actually several floors of cafes here including a cat cafe and a darts bar. I got the honeycomb coffee.

The atmosphere is really casual and laid back with great music.

A few days of the week, they feature live entertainment like music and open mic. I've been there once for music and if you are on the floor that doesn't have the artist, they broadcast the show on a projector. Their drinks are very delicious and unique. I prefer their teas over their smoothies. More refreshing and less sweet. I also really enjoy their food menu. They have special main courses daily and also snacks like chicken wings.

This local gem is located on Hoi Pa Street amidst a healthy selection of boba tea stands,…read morerestaurants, and other dessert joints. In fact, it sits next to two competing Tong Sui (dessert, or literally "sugar water") stores. In my opinion, Chung Kee is the best one. Having visited the other two when CK's line is out the door, my advice is -- don't stray! Somehow, the exact same dessert item just won't taste as good when you eat at the other places, whether it's because the fruit isn't as fresh and sweet or the black pearl (basil seeds) are smaller and watered down. CK's gets so packed that in the evenings they take over the cafe immediately adjacent and seat patrons there too. There is a good selection of hot and cold desserts, from traditional ground sesame and tofu "soups", to fruits, tapiocas, and shaved icecreams. Best of all, the prices are a fraction of those at big chains like Hui Lau Shan and Honeymoon Desserts, roughly 20-30 HKD per item. Highly recommend.

I have ordered a Costa Rica while my hubby have a regular ice dripped coffee. Both are very calming, excellent to be enjoyed in a weekend afternoon.

Well, I haven't found it yet, sorry to disappoint. But I may have found the closest possible thing: Termini Tea Yard. I found it because I saw the cool terrace from the street and after getting into the wrong building, I finally arrived there in need of a break from crazy busy Causeway Bay...The cafe is in fact very cozy and from the door I spotted the terrace, with a swing like seating place that I immediately felt like checking out. It was way too busy and hot and it's a smoking area, so I finally decided the indoors was a better option for me. So I sat down there and ordered an Americano. I was hoping the coffee would be good, because I'm normally very picky when it comes to it...and at 46HKD I expected something close to amazing. Which wasn't, but was okay...too smooth and a little bitter, it didn't rock my world so if you are into coffee, go for a tea. The chances of disappointment are always lessen. They have wifi and I cannot deny it's comfy and cozy, so they fill in some of the other requirements. That's good enough for once in a while for me, I can come here and work for a couple of hours in peace. Even though it's very central, they were around four other people (and there is room for five or six times that). The staff is pretty laid back (pretty on the 'a lot' side sometimes) and that's fine by me. Oh and on the menu they also have some food, but I haven't tried anything yet. I wanted to have a first try with my coffee and because it wasn't that amazing, I decided I'd have lunch somewhere else. This is a great spot for a break from shopping, for working in peace for a little while, for a quick bite maybe, and their terrace has a lot of potential but I'm gonna leave that for later in the year when heat and humidity leave Hong Kong until next year...

::Throwback Thursday::…read more My graduate school classmates from China are obsessed with durian. Not exactly sure why, but they go cucu for some durian dessert. So us nice Hong Kongers took them to some durian dessert. And what we ended up with were really happy friends. :) The durian pancake tastes just as it sounds - durian, pancake, with cream in between each layer of pancake. Tasted okay. Mango pudding was too... jelly for me. There were chunks of mango solidified together through some sort of thick textured jello under the mountain of cream. I'm not a fan of jello, so it was too overwhelming for me. I just stuck with eating the fresh mangoes on top, those were good enough for me. I ordered a 中三 - literal translation is middle three. Basically three small / middle size bowls of a variety of sweets. I really like black sesame, coconut sago, and red bean in general - so I figured this would be the perfect for me. I got the hot version instead of the cold version since restaurants and buildings in Hong Kong blasts their A/C to an uncomfortable freezing temperature, thus I wanted something that would warm me up as opposed to make me feel even more cold. The desserts were way too sweet... My friend got the cold black sesame and that was less sweet than my hot black sesame. Not sure why there was such a huge difference, but we both agreed that my desserts were unnecessarily and overpoweringly sweet. In order of super sweet to kind of sweet, it goes from: red bean, black sesame, coconut sago. I ate the black sesame first, then coconut sago, and finally finished the red bean on my way home. It was less sweet once the dessert cooled down. Which I find odd. o.O The coconut sago tasted the best. But there were a few, strangely, sour chestnuts in the soup. It probably tasted sour since everything else were so overly sweet. Nevertheless, it just tasted too sour and strange that I left them to the side instead of finishing them. The quality and price of the food are okay. But this place is too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't personally seek this place out or come back on my own.
