This place is not overrated at all. Lives up to all the hype - I didn't even know there was a hype…read morefor this restaurant until I got back home and looked it up online! FOOD Silky smooth tofu, you really can't ask for more. I chose the hot tau fu fa and I was blown away. It was only $9. I had the tau fu fa at Lamma Island and I must say that this store blew those ones out of the water. The tofu would just melt in your mouth. I want another bowl just thinking about it. You can add more brown sugar or ginger sugar water if you like your tau fu fa to be a bit sweeter. The ginger infused sugar water gives the dish a bit of a kick - you can barely taste the ginger but it adds some spice to the tofu. They also sell bottled soy milk so you can get one for the road. SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE Quick turnaround and service. They served the tofu before I even got a chance to pay. Efficiency at its finest. There is limited seating so don't expect this to be a place where you can sit and chat. The guys were friendly and were helpful when I asked for recommendations. Will definitely go again - this time I'll be sure to bring a few bowls back home.

This place raised theirs by a dollar, so it's $9 for dine in (only 3 seats) and $10 for take out. I have no regrets especially on a cold night with piping hot perfect texture tofu soup! Yes there is another shop that sells this too, but the other shop has other options to add into the classic.

This would be the place to go if you are an ex-pat looking for foods from home, particularly from the US and Europe. This location is on the second floor of New Town Plaza Phase 1. Being from the US, this store does not quite appeal as much to me, but just checked it due to curiousity. The prices on the US goods were understandably high. But they do carry some interesting items. Particularly those from Europe that make me want to grab them here since I wouldn't be able to find them back in the US. There are also a few food stands here selling some interesting fare. There is a stand selling matcha desserts for instance. While perusing I came across a fridge full of freshly squeezed juices that I thought was cool. Grabbed a bottle of guava and passion fruit juice for HK$24. Not the cheapest place, but the bottle design was interesting and I needed some refreshment. If you get it, be sure to drink it quickly as fresh juices don't last for long. If you happen to be at New Town Plaza, city'super is worth perusing through. Interesting products found here, albeit at higher prices than elsewhere.

Since 1984, the bakery focuses on traditional treats. Loved the banana cake which is light and addictively delicious. The pan fried mochi with sesame seeds is so unique. The shop has a decent line that moves quickly. No surprise that it has been Michelin recommended and featured on Netflix. Next time, I'll try the wife cake.

As an avid dessert lover, next stop must be Dalloyau! Dalloyau is a famous French pastry shop and it has over 30 shops at 6 countries. My friend made the reservation at Dalloyau on 8pm, we walked over there right after our dinner. The entrance is classy and elegant, you have to pass by all the dessert counters and able to glance all the sweets before the dining area. OMG!!! It's so tempting already..... We got seated on long velvet sofa at the corner, it's comfy and privacy. The menu was small and pricey but I still willing to everything on menu. Religieuse Caramel - the religieuse tasted fantastic, the caramel cream was rich and creamy, the choux light and crispy and the crunch provided by the streusel was delicious. Opera Cake - It originally created by Dalloyau!! Authentic opera cake is 3-layers of almond sponge with coffee syrup and chocolate cream and chocolate ganache. The strong flavour with joconde, buttercream, ganache and the glaze, tasted complex but amazing. Dalloyau cake - Almond meringue, praline cream and crushed caramelized hazelnut. It's chewy and nutty. Macarons - It's perfectly sweet and crispy on the shell. Molten cake - Molten cake was great but I would expect such a class pasty shop to make stunning dessert rather than mediocre molten cake. Crème brulee - It's favorable, creamy and tasty. Overall, all the desserts were great but not the best I had. For sure, they're the one of the best pasty shop in Hong Kong.

Coming back to Greenwoods Raw Cafe, they have set meals. And a pretty hearty one. They have two…read moremain courses to choose from, with a fixed one depending on the weekday. The set includes a soup or a smoothie, salad and dessert. The smoothie this day was banana, spinach, pineapple. Very hearty, not super cold or frozen, great consistency. It had to be one of the best ones I've had till date and looked super too. It was garnished with a blue butterfly pea flower leaf. My salad was mixed greens, dragonfruit, cucumber, tomato, avocado and carrot shreds. Everything looked fresh, not dry, wilted, dehydrated. It was dressed with something that tasted like balsamic vinegar. My entree of choice was buckwheat pizza. It was a mini piece of buckwheat flatbread (Indian style), topped with vegetables, including eggplant. Side was raw, tangy cauliflower which tasted very nice. I'd just about finished eating the cauliflower when I got those calls. More photos and details on my site - thevegetarianvoyager dot com
