Luckily the only one I really want to have, Green Tea Fondue with Tofu Ice Cream and Pistachios was available. I am really into matcha and warm dessert so I really enjoyed that! Tofu ice cream was still quite creamy but the warm fondue was definitely the star. I was also really surprise with the quality of their cappuccino. The milk was perfectly frothed and the latte art did not even distort at all even when I almost finished drinking my coffee. Service was really attentive. Since we were here during lunch hour, the kitchen was busy prepping for the lunch crowd. If you want to have full access to the dessert menu, coming here after 3 pm might be more ideal. HeSheEat is a nice cafe to escape the craziness of CWB. Being on the 2nd floor, you have a bird eye view which is great for people watching.

While the atmosphere is chill and service is adequate, I am unsure of how authentic it is as a sweet soup (tongsui) shop, as I do not find a big difference in the types of sweets it serves compared to the typical Hong Kong sweet soup establishment. There is an automatic 10% service charge when you dine in. With prices that are in the $35-50 HKD range, the quality isn't quite there. I tried their mango sago with tofu pudding and the bubur chacha, both mediocre at best. The tofu was warm and veering on the hot end while the mango and sage were chilled. The burbur chacha had little chewy pieces that made for a good texture but a bit too sweet for my taste. A small seating area is available inside and easily cramped if crowds are present. Not sure if I would visit this spot again.

Heard about it from my friend who is residing in Hong Kong. The must to try list (according to her) was the toasts. Long queue was formed on a Sunday around 2pm. We waited for about half an hour before we were seated. Gave Teawood's handmade scallion noodles and the brown sugar Sun Moon Lake Formosa black tea with salted cream. And of course the famous toast with chocolate ice cream. I was craving dry noodles so the pasta like handmade noodles were perfect. I love fried scallions but it was a little too much for me as it sticks together in the tongue. The noodles were chewy and I enjoyed every slurp of it. The salted cream tea was alright. Would prefer it to have more foam on the top and less ice. Toasts.. Amazing! It was not too sweet for my tastebuds even though chocolate ice cream with marshmallow bits on top of fluffy yet crispy toasts with drizzled honey sounds too sweet. Service was efficient and will definitely come back in the future ;)

Black Sesame Soup: The thick charcoal- colored soup of ground black sesame seeds is hot, sweet, and sticky. The black sesame has complex flavors that are deeply nutty, earthy, savory, and a touch bitter. There's enough sweetness that allows for the flavors to shine through. The texture is rich, creamy, and smooth. This is the best bowl of the shop. Sweet Walnut Soup: The mild walnut flavor pairs nicely with bolder flavors. The earthy and nutty flavor is creamy and comforting. Sweet Almond Soup: This highlights the aromatic flavor of almond extract, which is very tasty. The floral and fruity flavors are hats to miss.

It is known for having awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand which piqued my interest as I seek quality tongsui aka sweet dessert soups that remind me of my childhood days. The shop is small and crowded with all others who enjoy tongsui and the line moves fast despite the wait. You can order via a QR code at the table or with staff. The menu is simple and they've got most of the must-haves at dessert shops. They have a minimum spend per person if you are dining in, so beware if your group has a person who doesn't do sweet soups. The worst thing (or best thing) that could happen is you eat one for them. The tongsui we ordered were all very basic and while they were delicious, I couldn't tell if they were better or higher quality ingredients compared to other shops across Hong Kong. If I were to be in the area and wanting tongsui, then sure why not. But I am unsure if I would purposely take the train and walk here.

But when a person of Chinese/Taiwanese descent who loves to eat is roaming around HK? Everything looks amazing. My travel partner and I decided to try this place because... well? it was busy. SUPER BUSY. At least 15-20 people waiting outside while other restaurants sat mostly empty. Plus, I couldn't really go by my usual rating system for an Asian restaurant (e.g., the ratio of Asian to non-Asian folks eating inside) since pretty much EVERYONE was Asian. I ordered the beef noodle soup because it's a familiar staple. The noodles were clearly not from a box and tasted pretty fresh, with a bit of a bite/chew to them. The beef was tender, and the broth was flavorful. I wish it had more veggies though! I also ordered a royal milk boba tea because I wanted one, ok? It was fresh, delicately flavored, and the boba had great consistency. I also loved that I didn't have to order it half sweet like I prefer in the USA. I wish the system to ask for a table was a bit more user friendly for folks who do not speak/read Chinese. There is a computer/touch screen outside where you are supposed to enter in the number of people in your party. I had to ask for help and the waitress pushed some buttons and handed me a slip of paper. From the little I do read, I was able to deduce that you are assigned to a letter (A, B, C, D) which indicates the table top size you requested (1-2 ppl, 3-4 ppl, etc) and you have to watch the screen for your letter number combo on your slip of paper to be called. If I were in HK again, and shopping in Langham, I would not hesitate to eat here again!!

My SIL insisted I try the restaurant. So glad I did. Love the decor with such an Urban feel. Bikes, tires, and road signs. Clean and modern throughout. I was captivated by their desserts. From the syringe injecting into a Bloody Berry cake to these color dusted cakes with various flavors. Wow, can we say croissant galore. How can you turn down a chocolate dipped croissant or one that is something called creme brulee? Okay, onto their real food. The slow roasted chicken came highly recommended as was the fish and chips. I also wanted to try the gwei miu salmon with a watercress risotto. They also needed to add they garnish the salmon dish with baby arugula. Hello! No need to say more. Sold! The chicken was juicy (brinded almost), full of flavor. The fish and chips had an amazing color on the fry, awesome beer battered flavored, and chunks of fish with every bite. It was over like an olive tapinade tartar sauce, which I couldn't get enough of. The risotto was perfectly cooked, which is hard to do. It was loaded with butter and cheese. Aside from its green color, it was hard to tell it was watercress. The salmon was also perfectly cooked and juicy. My only regret was that I ate too much and didn't save room for their desserts. Next time, for sure. Definitely be back and will be taking the Hubs here when he returns.
