(They have iPad for menu) The Rose bubble was a bit too sweet, the dim sum were good! But can't beat the view here. The view is just spectacular! We sit until it turns dark at 6ish and it's time (and money) well spent! Service was good and ambience is quiet and sophisticated without being too crowded like in other spots in the touristy TST area. One of my all time favourite place to bring visiting friends!

I cant stress enough how much I adore soups; to a certain extend i start to think whenever i see…read moresoup i have already preconditioned myself to like it. Located amidst the many snack shops in Mong Kok; this is actually a joint selling herbal teas and drinks with medicinal purposes. It just happens that there is a drink said to be able to clear the internal heat and helps to detoxify the liver that tastes like soup more than anything; probably due to the fish they put in the soup, the protein make the soup a lot richer and not as watery as the other herbal teas. It is pure joy to have a bowl of this after eating all those trashy street food; especially when many of them are deep fried, the soup is the best cure to clear off the excess heat accumulated from fried foods. With joy in my heart, knowing the soup only does you good, i simply have yet one more reason to like it.

People here buy containers full of an ungodly amount of skewers topped with all the sauces they offer on the counter. We ordered the boiled snail meat skewer, but the woman misheard and gave us XO fried snail meat. We got a styrofoam container full of burn-your-tongue-hot snails in a spicy, flavorful sauce. What a happy accident, because these were so, so good. At first we thought they just didn't have snail skewers, contrary to the poster which showed them, but later we saw them in the display case. No complaints though. For actual skewers, I tried the octopus and fried chive dumplings. Both were tasty with the sauces. They also sell refreshing juices like sugarcane, white gourd, and watermelon.

The broth for the hot noodles tasted great though : light, not overly seasoned, tasted like the kind of broth you'd make at home. My husband said the cold soba was nothing special. We then finished our meal off with the matcha jelly (flown in daily from Kyoto!), which was really good, definitely full of matcha flavor and went well with the ice cream and red bean paste.

It's already a huge thing in Hong Kong, with at least one matcha dessert store at every mall. When I found out that a well known matcha chain, Nakamura Tokichi, was opening up its first branch in HK, I made it a point to plan to visit and give it a try. Unsurprisingly, as with all well known restaurants in Hong Kong, there was a fairly long wait even on a Wednesday. I had to wait almost two hours to get a table for six people. When we were finally seated, we were presented with complimentary green tea and a menu filled with delicious goodies. I tried the green tea almost immediately, and already I was floored. Most green tea tastes fairly bland and generic, but this green tea was incredibly rich and flavorful. As to be expected from a matcha restaurant with as prestigious a reputation as Nakamura Tokichi. We shared several matcha and hojicha parfaits, a hojicha ice cream, and I got the kyo no fukiyose, which contained several different things including chiffon cake, matcha ice cream, red bean, whipped cream, and mochi. The parfaits were incredibly rich and elegant. Cereal was added to the red bean and ice cream, and the flavors all blended together perfectly. The chiffon cake was sweet yet light. The red bean was a real delight, not too sweet, and balanced out the sweetness of the hojicha and matcha ice cream incredibly well. In just one experience, I can see why Nakamura Tokichi is one of the most well known matcha restaurants in Hong Kong. It lives up to its own hype in many ways.
