I just found myself my favorite café - Clover Cake & Coffee House, located in North Point. Most of the times when people go for dessert (and seriously how many people will have the luxury to sit down at a café and enjoy a good old Sunday afternoon in Hong Kong?), they will go for the Honeymoon place where they service ice cream, Chinese sweet soup and stuff. However, it is far from what a café is supposed to be. And I am glad to have found this place.
Judging from the store's appearance, the pseudo-wooden, earthly colour tone gives people such relaxing and sort of like a Taiwanese slash Japanese café. With the two display window you can also see what kind of cakes they have and I guarantee you that you cannot turn your back on this.
Surprisingly once I walked in with my friends, I realized most customers here (and the staff too) are mainly females. (all the single guys out there, did you hear me now?) This only means one thing - they definitely serve cakes that are either very scrumptious or appealing looking. Looking at the menu or checking out the display fridge, you can see what cakes they have for today. You may also notice they cater for bigger cakes (yay for birthday party) but that takes a few days prior order. The price range here is around HKD$35 to HKD$60, which is definitely a bargain compared to other dessert place.
I ordered a Crunch Cake with caramel on top (I LOVE caramel) and after a while, I was fairly pleased with the look of it. Very chic with crumbs sprinkling from the top. The first bite came with a refreshing creamy taste and the sweet yet not too strong caramel flavor. The fact that it is rather petite makes it cuter and perfect for girls. On my way out, I always bought a bag of cookies as they claimed to be very healthy made with natural ingredient. read more
