We stopped by this place after having dinner at the Hello Kitty Chinese Cuisine restaurant. The…read moreplace has a dim and modern atmosphere and has pages after pages of desserts. The desserts are a bit pricey and westernized, but the presentation is very creative and delicious. Between our foodie group, we ordered the orange soufflé, matcha mousse, creme brulee, matcha tiramisu, and strawberry fruits with a molten chocolate cake. The orange soufflé was light, lightly sweetened, and fluffy. It had tad bit much of an alcohol taste which I didn't like, but it was probably a matter of preference. The soufflé was huge and came with a side of fresh whipped cream. The matcha mousse didn't taste too exciting...afterall, is it even possible to make mousse exciting?? The dessert leaned a bit heavier towards the sweet side which I didn't like. I love the taste of matcha and I could barely taste it in the mousse. The crème brulée also didn't blow my mind. It was a good effort but tasted average in my opinion. I probably wouldn't order it again unless my name is Plain Jane (no offense, Jane). The matcha tiramisu was made to look like a potted plant which was adorable but the taste is again, very predictable. The matcha flavor are barely noticeable and the chocolate (dirt) on top of the matcha tasted like cakey chocolate crackers. I give this four stars for efforts though. The strawberry frozen fruits with a molten lava cake was interestingly presented (watch my video). When the plate arrived, we all stared dreamily at this pink cloudly puff of foggy wonders. The strawberry fruits are wonderful and pairs perfectly with the cake. It wasn't overly sweet and the strawberries weren't overly tart. I highly recommend this dish not only for the presentation, but also for the taste.

I'm glad, because I enjoyed the flavor of the milk pudding by itself, and can add in the pieces of fresh strawberry as I liked. The milk pudding had a nice texture and it wasn't too sweet, which I liked. A simple dessert, but quite refreshing. Service: Their service was good as they placed our orders, and went around refilling our glasses as they noticed that they emptied. When my order was mixed up, they helped to quickly fix it as well and were pleasant. A good spot to catch up with friends and grab some unique molecular gastronomy dessert options that they have. They also have savory food such as burgers, as well as beer on tap and wine.

I met up with a friend at Langham Place (Mong Kok) for some post-lunch dessert. Since I was already…read morequite full, I went with the Mango Sago with mini glutinous rice balls and mango ice cream.

We had their hojicha lava cake with ferrero roche ice cream and waffles with mango and strawberry ice cream. The lava cake was piping hot when it arrived and the oozing filling did not disappoint.

This is sprinkled with some sort of biscuits ($ 62 HKD) - I have no clue what is Hojicha but to me it tasted like earl grey tea lava cake. This is not overly sweet and the ice cream was amazing as this balanced the hot sensation from the lava. I really enjoyed this, especially they are doing 50% off in May in celebration of their 2nd years birthday. We also ordered the green tea lava cake too, unfortunately it is abit over done so not alot of lava. However the taste is nice but mostly subtle hence I wonder whether extra colouring was given for the greeness of the pudding. In terms of the chocolate lava with alcohol this was so lovely and a bit bitter, which compliment well with the bailey. I really recommend this to people who don't really have a sweet tooth.

SUMMARY After a disastrous first few hours in HK, this was…read moreour first meal in HK and it was better than expected. It definitely cured the hangry in all of us! Would recommend, but don't expect great service here...or in HK for that matter. ATMOSPHERE (5/5) While I could look this up, I believe this is a licensed theme restaurant as evidenced from the cute, cartoon like atmosphere TeaWood restaurant. The place is adorned with cartoon characters in a woody setting. It's very well done and hat's off to the people who put this together. FOOD (5/5) Wife says this is a Taiwanese character that serves Taiwanese meals and maybe because of this, we were very happy with our meal---mostly because we had a really crappy time getting to our AirBnB and the general attitude of people who we encountered along the way (unhelpful and rude). I ordered a tripe based soup with noodles in a beef broth and it was a 5/5 for me. The broth was very clean, not oily. Noodles were perfectly good. Tripe was not over or undercooked. Vegetables still had a bit of snap to it. Really happy with my meal. My wife ordered a red bean dessert that I took a few bites as well. One of the things I liked about that was how perfectly cooked the mochi balls were. All around delicious. SERVICE (2/5) Perhaps this is a cultural thing, so HK people don't beat up on me too harshly for saying this: but even in a more pricier corporate type of restaurant like this, the service is not friendly was not friendly here and especially at smaller mom and pop shops ***anywhere*** we went in HK. Any time we asked a question, there was this sort of disbelief or umbrage that we would ask a question about what was in a dish, what a certain type of ingredient was, etc. RETURN VISIT? If we do return, we'd probably go back or at least I would. Sans the service, the restaurant is good and tourist friendly to a certain point.

Rocky road ice cream, slightly chewy and not so fried bread, whipped cream and strawberries! Yum! A cute place, food came out quickly and servers were polite (you may need to flag them down).

I have only been there once and was told that I could get a seat in the middle of the day was something of a miracle. To put this into perspective, this place looks no different from any cha charn tengs you will see; the only significant feature would be that it is absolutely tiny. You could fit about 30 people inside and that's about it. The opening hours are always shifting and they seem to close up at every convenience. so why is it so attractive? For that you will have to take a look at the entrance- you will see rows and rows of freshly made bread being turned out. This is a favourite amongst workers in the area as there is simply no other bakeries in this area which turns out freshly made buns like this any more. They used to be a common site but in this day and age it is simply not a practical solution. they have such a wide range on offer that most people will be willing to queue up or put up with the tiny tables that you have inside. Combining a cup of tea with one of these buns would make a perfect afternoon tea set- infact people come here around the clock and unlike other cha charn tengs people don't usually order the set menu. This tells you just how good their stuff is. Let me just pop by this afternoon..

After selling from this corner on Garnville for the better part of a couple of decades, this bakery showcases a myriad of quality pastries at reasonable prices. The best time to come is in the daytime, especially the mornings. There might be a small line from time to time, but they're after the same buttery aroma of fresh baked goods. Do not take a single item here for granted; multiple things here run out on the daily. The friendly mom and pop team are often here and quite accommodating. They are brutally honest about which batches are good or bad, and are quick to make recommendations for first timers looking to experiment with different pastries. From cookies to tarts to mini pies, the variety is some of the best one will find anywhere in TST, let alone the rest of HK. Classic egg tarts are always a win, but their milk custard and cheese tarts are addicting in their own right. The meat pies are decent, though the tuna leaves a bit much to be desired. The meat pies aren't of Aussie variety, but they've got magical fillings like BBQ pork and curry beef. Muffins and croissants occupy the upper level of the display and are constantly refilled till they run out. There is also a dessert stand right next to this, serving up cold treats and whole sized bday cakes. The fruit tarts have been my favorite, but they have been skimping on the fruit as of late. I imagine they would be a special quality desserts bakery, but the hot food attracts the bigger crowd and retains the following. Non-Chinese speakers should be relieved the staff speaks English. It is a cash only operation and there are no places to sit. If you're on the go and craving pies and or tarts, this is *the place* to score it.

In general, the macarons here display the right amount of sweetness, so when you're eating them, you won't feel them cloying your mouth. The macaron biscuit is fresh and crispy on the outside, while soft on the inside. I've had stale macarons before when I didn't know better and the offerings at Pierre Herme weren't. The flavors of the macarons set themselves apart from all others. They're quite unique and inventive. The creativity, while adventuresome, isn't going to confuse your taste buds to the point of frustration. I can't tell you my favorite flavor but the friend whom I bought macarons for the last time I visited: her favorite was the signature rose. Service is polite and patient. Yeah, it's weird that you have to buy a minimum of 7, but you'd want to buy more anyway, despite being rather pricey. The only drawback shopping here is that sometimes you have to deal with smug people that take up space at the counter and don't give a crap about anyone else. p.s. - why the heck isn't there a Pierre Herme in the States???
