I Love Cake Store: Hong Kong

I Love Cake Store

In Hong Kong, there are a bunch of hidden specialty shops that cater to a particular niche. There are so many that are hard to find  since they aren’t that easy to search on Google. People mostly depend on ‘word of mouth’ and that’s how they get popular. People tell people and with so many people in Hong Kong, word does spread fast.

If people need a place to find cake moulds or ingredients to do their baking, most people know to head here for a particular ingredient.

I Love Cake Store

This shop is hidden on Shanghai street among other cooking related stores. There are even some other places selling huge crock pots for industrial use.

I Love Cake Store

This place is for people who bake at home. There are so many cookie cutters and other gadgets. if you want a Hello Kitty waffle iron…you will probably find it here.

I Love Cake Store

If you are looking into making cute cakes, chocolates or ice cubes, there are a ton of silicon moulds. I bought a few to bring home since the prices aren’t bad at all.

I Love Cake Store

They also have edible paints and different liquors to add to your cake.

I Love Cake Store

Of course your delectable treats need packaging, so they have pouches, bags, and different containers available too. If you are a tourist like me who likes baking, come here to stock up! It’s so much cheaper! I bought a lot of lollipop sticks and chocolate moulds.

I Love Cake Store

There are other cool shops along this street, so make sure you check them out! I Love Cake isn’t a super large store, but they have a lot of different products. I’d definitely come again and buy a few more items.

Cafe de Coral: Hong Kong Fast Food

Cafe de Coral is the largest Chinese Fast Food Chain in Hong Kong. They were founded in 1968 and now has over 150 locations and still growing. It’s cheap and the service is very quick. Sometimes your meal will be ready in less than a minute.

Their menu is on the wall, if you can’t read Chinese, there are corresponding numbers to the items, and pictures! There are so many items, good luck if you are indecisive.

You order at the front of the restaurant and then wait in line till your order is ready. It’s like McDonalds 2.0 but with Chinese food.

Baked Spaghetti with Meat Sauce looked like it was just reheated. It tasted ok, but it needed more sauce. Once you mix this all together, you’ll realize there isn’t any sauce on the bottom.

Fish Fillet with steamed vegetables and rice is pretty sad looking. By looking at it, you know it’s just going to taste OK. Nothing inspiring here.

Salted Egg, chicken wings, pork sausage, BBQ pork on rice is where it’s at! If you stick with the BBQ meat items, you can’t go wrong. The quality isn’t super amazing, but it’s pretty good for the price.

Overall, you kinda get what you pay for at Cafe de Coral. It’s not the best food, but it’s quick and convenient. There’s a trade off there. I myself would prefer going to McDonalds instead, but everyone is a little different right?

Have you been here? Did you like it?

Sushi One: Japanese Food in Hong Kong

Sushi One is a chain of Japanese restaurants in Hong Kong. We were shopping in the Tuen Mun area and decided to stop here for Japanese food. I’ve been craving for some sushi since Japanese is my all time favorite cuisine. If I go a week without Japanese food, I may just fall apart.

There are about 5 restaurants around Hong Kong since 2005.

The interior is cozy. You can sit at the booths or at the counter.

The menu is located online here: http://sushione.com.hk/product1-set-tm1.php?lang=

There is also a moving sushi belt, but the sushi is a bit expensive.

It looks like scoops of green tea, but it’s wasabi!

Ebi Tempura comes with 4 pieces and a sauce on the side.

2 Wagyu Beef nigiri and 2 uni nigiri.

The Wagyu Beef nigiri tasted OK, but they would have added something else to bring out the flavour of the meat.

The Uni Nigiri took a long time to arrive. It also seemed like it was just thawed out too. Not very fresh and then texture was very different.

Curry Pork Cutlet over Rice ($45) wasn’t very good. It was so hard to finish too.

Chawan mushi is a Japanese steamed egg pudding that comes with every meal. It’s really delicious and savory!

Assorted Sashimi over Rice ($55) comes with chawanmushi too. SO beautiful when it arrived at the table. It was delicious too. The sashimi wasn’t as good as what you would find in Vancouver, but still you get a good amount of items in this bowl.

Overall, the dishes can be a hit or a miss, but their lunch menu is decently priced and you will get full.

Burger King Hong Kong: Mushroom SwissTender Grill Chicken Panini

My last meal in Hong Kong was at the Hong Kong International Airport eating at Burger King. There really wasn’t anything good to eat in the area. My parents wanted drinks and I just wanted a sandwich. I know airplane food can be crap, so I needed something decent tasting.

Minute Maid Orange Juice

Fries, Coffee, and Tea

Mushroom Swiss Tender Grill Chicken Panini has mushrooms, swiss cheese, mayo, tomato and lettuce in a bun. It sure wasn’t a panini since it doesn’t have the toasted grill marks. The sandwich tasted alright, but it’s nothing too amazing.

Overall, pretty meh sandwich.

Have you been to a Burger King overseas? Any cool items you’ve encountered?

Sai Kung Cafe & Bakery: Cookies, Pineapple Buns, and Poo-shaped Cakes

Sai Kung Cafe and Bakery (西貢咖啡餅店) is known for their fresh egg tarts and pineapple buns. During the busy season, they can sell up to 1,000 egg tarts a day. There are lots of hungry people on the weekend that will line up to have those 2 items.

When we were just eating lunch in the Sai Kung area, my aunt just had to get a few pineapple buns…as the foodie that I am, I had to get a few random items from this bakery to try later.

They have some crazy cakes on display! There’s one shaped like poo and another one like a hedgehog. Cute and unique.

Loaf of Walnut Bread was a bit dry.

Pineapple bun (sorry its’ butchered) It was cut up before I could take a picture. It wasn’t as good as right out of the oven from the shop. If you want to taste this at it’s finest, eat it when you get it from the shop.

Horlick and Walnut Cookies were very cute. The taste was OK, but the texture of the cookie was really hard.

Chocolate and Walnut Cookie was hard as well but the flavour was ok.

Overall, the baked good are alright and nothing super amazing. The main stars of Sai Kung Cafe and Bakery is the egg tarts and pineapple buns. All the western items they make aren’t spectacular.

Din Tai Fung: Michelin Star Restaurant in Hong Kong

Din Tai Fung is an award winning restaurant from Taiwan. There are branches all over the world. Din Tai Fung has been around since 1958 and then in the 1980s they began selling Xiao Long Bao, which made them very popular.

The location in Hong Kong is located in Tsim Tsa Tsui in Silvercord and has won a Michelin Star. Also, Open Rice has awarded them Best Restaurant Award of 2012.

It is popular amongst locals and tourists. I came here since I heard they had the best steamed pork buns. I actually came here about 4 times during my Summer vacation. I was crazy addicted to this place.

The interior is nice and has lots of seats. When we came around 11am, it was quite empty.

By 1:20pm, this place was PACKED. It’s best to come here around noon since there will be tables left.

Soy Sauce and Vinegar is at the table and you can use it to flavour your dishes.

I added the soy sauce and vinegar in my ginger for the Pork dumpling.

Juicy Pork Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) are so good! We had to order a few baskets to satisfy our cravings.

Vegetarian Dumpling was another one of my favorites. I know it doesn’t have meat, but it really enjoyed the minced vegetables inside.

Shrimp and Pork Sui Mai was OK. I really didn’t take a liking to it that much because of the overcooked shrimp.

Drunken Chicken was good. There was a good amount of meat between the skin and bone.

Shanghai Smoked Fish wasn’t our favorite item. It had bones inside.

Drunken Chicken Feet with marinated vegetables is not for everyone. It has a bit of alcoholic wine taste to it, but some people love it.

Shredded Vegetable and Tofu has a touch of sesame oil. I really like this dish since I have a bit of an addiction to sesame oil.

Hollow Spinach in Garlic 

Marinated Jelly Fish

Pork Jelly

Shrimp Fried Rice is yummy too but it is a bit small, so you may need to order more. It was a little bit oily, but I really liked it since there is so much filling in it.

Braised tripe was good, but its not for everyone. Some people may get scared of the look.

Large Hot & Sour Soup was my favorite soup! Yum!

Pork Slices with garlic sauce 

 Wonton Soup

Noodle with Minced Pork Sauce

Braised Beef Noodle Soup

Fried Beancurd Puff with Vermicelli Soup

Overall, all the dishes were pretty good. One of my favorite restaurants when visiting Hong Kong. When you come here, you must have the Steamed Pork Buns! Its the one thing that everyone orders.

Super Star Seafood Restaurant 鴻星海鮮酒家: Eating Air, Land and Sea Animals

Super Star Seafood Restaurant was founded in 1989 and have since expanded numerous locations in Hong Kong, Japan and China. We came here with my parents family friends.

It’s popular place to dine and serves up seafood Cantonese style.

It was really packed at night and reservations are definitely needed. The service was really poor for our table since we sat right under an air conditioner. We asked several times for the management to try to turn down the A/C or find an alternative table. After a few servers said they would check on it, no one did. Our food went cold fast and we got so cold too. It wasn’t until the end of our meal when the manager believed that there was something wrong.

Crispy Whitebait and Peanuts came complementary to the table. They are super crispy and its a great snack to munch on as the rest of the meal arrives.

Stir Fried Zucchini and Prawns

The soup that arrived was a clear broth made of chicken and other items.

The separate contents of the soup, so you can eat the other ingredients that make up the soup.

This platter contains cold jelly fish, tofu, crispy pork, BBQ pork and cold pork hock.

Vegetables and seafood in a savory egg sauce

Fried Rice

Steamed Fish

Braised duck stuffed with meat and soy beans

Braised mushrooms and bok choy

Deep Fried Seafood mayo cake

Longevity Buns is a Chinese steamed bun in the shape of a peach.

Red bean dessert

Overall, the food was OK, but the service was terrible. I prefer the original Nathan road location.

Pepper Lunch: DIY Steak at a Food Court

Pepper Lunch is a fast food outlet that originated from Japan. It is a DIY steakhouse that is mostly found at food courts. They have locations all over Asia. All of the items are presented to you on a hot sizzling plate and you can mix your food and cook it to your liking. Their version of steak isn’t the same as what you would envision from North America.

It is equivalent to Teppan Kitchen in Vancouver’s Aberdeen Mall.

When I went to CityGate for some outlet shopping in Hong Kong, my sister and I ate here since our older sister told us this place was amazing.

There was a huge wait during my visit because they ran out of rice. Since there was no rice, they really couldn’t serve anyone…but they kept taking orders.

They have some plastic food models too so you can see what exactly goes into each dish. I got so hungry waiting for our order. Fast food wasn’t fast.

After 15 minutes, we got our order.

Chicken Steak and BBQ Wagyu comes with a side of rice, bean sprouts, beans, onions, corn, and sauce.

We mixed it all up and it looked very healthy for sure. The taste was ok, but I didn’t find it spectacular.

Beef Pepper Rice was better than the previous dish. We also mixed up this really well and put in all the sauce.

It looked really good and tasted great. I guess it’s best to order the items that is their most popular dish. My sister loved it too.

We ate our food in the food court seat at the mall. There was a lot of people especially on the weekend, so get ready to fight for a seat. Pepper Lunch was healthy as you can see what goes into your meal and cooks on the hot plate.

Mos Burger: Awesome Fast Food Burgers

Mos Burger is a fast food chain from Japan. It has about 14 locations in Hong Kong near the major malls. They have been around since 1972! Mos Burger specializes in burgers! The burgers aren’t even comparable to any fast food joint I’ve been to so far.

They differentiate themselves as being “healthier” and less geasy than their competitors.

Cold Milk Tea was my sisters favorite drink here. You need to mix in liquid sugar into it, so it’s not pre-sweetened.

Hot Green Tea Latte was rich and frothy with a lot of green tea. Yum!

Mos Burger looks amazing! Everything is perfectly placed on the bun, so you can clearly see every layer. There is a patty, mayo, onion, meat sauce, and tomato between soft buns. It tasted really amazing as the meat sauce made the whole burger savory and moist.

Fish Burger has cheese, a fried filet, mayo, and onions between the 2 buns. It looks similar to McDonalds Fish O Filet, but it was slightly better than McDonalds. Very Very close in taste!

Overall, I was very impressed by this fast food chain! Someone should really bring this to Canada!

Australia Dairy Company: Eggs, Milk Tea, and Milk Pudding

Australia Dairy Company was voted one of the best restaurants in Hong Kong for 2012 according to Openrice.com. They are best known for their toast, scrambled egg, and steamed milk. It’s a very popular place and it attracts a lot of locals and tourists.

Even at 3pm, there was a lineup outside. Don’t be intimidated by the line, even though it is long, the service is very fast and efficient that you won’t spend too much time inside.

Bottled Milk was something my little sister wanted. She did enjoy it with the meal.

Hot Milk Tea.

Hot Milk Tea (Included in meal) was good. It is a smaller size that comes with the preset meals.

Toast with egg and ham was very simple, but so full of flavour. I was surprised! The gooey egg was the best scrambled eggs we ever ate!

Macaroni and roasted pork in broth was OK. Nothing fancy. It came with the combo, so I’m not complaining.

Cold steamed milk pudding is what we ordered at the end. Delicious!

Afterwards, we took a stroll to Temple Street to do a little bit of shopping. It’s a good place to barter for bags and wallets.

Overall, the Australia Dairy Company is great for cheap food and the eggs are to die for. As for the long lineup to go inside, it doesn’t take too long to get inside if you have a group of 2 or 4. The service is so quick that it just comes out immediately after ordering. It definitely more popular amongst the tourist for sure.

Kam Wah Cafe 金華冰廳: Egg Tarts, Pineapple Buns, and Milk Tea

During this Summer, we were caught in a severe typhoon, but despite the warnings, we still headed out for some delicious lunch. Everyone had their umbrellas and if you had shoes on, they were guaranteed to be soaked. The typhoon actually increased in strength throughout the day reaching a No. 10 typhoon warning, which was the highest since 1999.

Kam Wah Cafe is located in the Prince Edward area very very close to Women’s Street. Their specialties are milk tea, egg tarts, pineapple bun with butter, and chicken wings. They have also won the Best Restaurant Awards in 2012 on Openrice.com.

The interior is typical of a Chinese Cafe. It’s normal to sit with strangers since there are limited tables to seat all the customers.

They have news articles along one of the walls of the shop, so you can read what others have said about them.

Hot Milk tea is delicious and needs to be mixed with sugar before drinking. You definitely want to order this if you are getting some of their buns or tarts.

Egg Tarts are very flakey on the outside and nice and firm in the egg mixture. It came very hot, so you know its fresh.

Pineapple bun with butter is their most famous item at the cafe.

The way I eat it is by mushing the bun with a fork until its flat. Then I use a knife and fork to eat it, so I don’t get crumbs all over my lap.

StirFried Beef Noodles was very very good here too. We were pleasantly surprised! It was a bit oily, but still has a great taste!

Overall, I thought this cafe was really good! Definitely take a trip here if you want some good pineapple buns, egg tarts, and milk tea!

Starbucks: Introduction of Starbucks Refreshers

Earlier this Summer, Starbucks launched their new drinks – “Starbucks Refreshers”. These are cold fruity drinks with “natural energy”. They use green coffee extract, so you get that boost of energy without drinking coffee.

The refreshers come in 2 flavours – Very Berry Hibiscus and Cool Lime.

There was a buy one get one free deal, so I couldn’t give up the chance at trying both and paying way less. I paid in Hong Kong dollars, so it translates to about $3.

Cool Lime is a mix of juice, mint, lime, caffeine, and then shaken with ice. It had a dominant flavour of mint and a secondary taste of the lime. I preferred this over the very berry hibiscus refresher.

Very Berry Hibiscus has not my favorite, but my sister prefered it over the Cool Lime refresher. The berries were not very fresh either.

It’s good that Starbucks is catering to the people who hate the coffee taste, but need the caffeine rush. I personally dislike the taste of both these drinks, but the Cool Lime is slightly better than the Very Berry Hibiscus.

Have you tried these yet?

Charlie Brown Cafe 查理布朗咖啡專門店: Novelty Cafe in Hong Kong

Charlie Brown Cafe is every child’s dream! Or at least my dream since I grew up watching the cartoon and reading the comics. This location is their flagship store. When I passed by, I had to stop and go here. It wasn’t our plan to go here, but my sister and I couldn’t resist.

We walked up the stairs and everything is Charlie Brown!!

It’s a great place to chill with friends too. Lots of seats!

When you walk to the counter, there are so many cakes!

So many cute things!

There are even cakes shaped like their heads!

3D Lucy ($500 HKD or $70 CDN) Crazy expensive cake, but I am sure someone bought it.

Soy matcha Frappe tasted OK. It was a bit thick and icy.

Latte was so cute! You get to choose what character on top. I just chose Charlie Brown because its iconic. It also tasted great!

Tiramisu was way too cute to eat.

But, I knew I couldn’t stare at it all day, so I eventually ate it. Really good!

Woodstock Mango Mousse was also super cute. Trust me, I took a lot of pictures!

But, we also had to eat it! The mango mousse is on the outside and there is a gelatine puree inside. It tasted good too.

Their lights are very cute on the ceiling! Don’t you love Linus?

Overall, the desserts are good and its a great place to go to if you are a Charlie Brown fan. Theres lots of merchandise to purchase and lots of food to eat. They also have sandwiches and set meals, so you aren’t just limited to drinks and desserts.

Have you been here before?

Sweet Garden 糖圓園: Shaved Ice x Bubble Tea

Sweet Garden has a few locations in Hong Kong. The location I went to was in the Windsor House in Causeway Bay. We were walking around the mall and got thirsty, so we decided to stop for some drinks before heading home.

It’s very colorful inside! Service was OK, but you have to ask for an english menu.

We ordered Milk Tea with pearls and coffee shaved ice, Red Bean Milk with Milk Shaved Ice, and Milk Tea with Milk Shaved Ice. The taste of the drinks were good, but it was a tad expensive.

Overall, it was cool having the combination of shaved ice on top and the bubble tea on the bottom. It’s not a good drink if you are wanting to quench your thirst because it is quite sugary.

Wing Lok Yuen Restaurant 永樂園餐廳: Chinese Hot Dogs

I got word from a viewer on Twitter that I should visit Wing Lok Yuen Restaurant for Hot Dogs in Hong Kong. As I was passing by the area anyways, I decided to stop by for a snack. It’s located close to Central MTR!

There is no english on the menu, so I was really glad my mom came with me!

There are numerous articles raving about their hot dogs. I’ve had lots of Hot Dogs in my time, but can these hot dogs really be that amazing?

Hot Milk Tea is a must when at a Hk style cafe! It was good!

Hot Dog comes in a soft milky bun with lots of mayo and a tiny sausage. At first glance, it doesn’t look very appetizing either. I don’t know what its so famous, but nothing was good about it.

Daily Cream Soup was good. It has onion, ham, corn and carrots inside.

Borscht Soup was good as well.

Overall, it was interesting to taste the famous Chinese Hot Dog, but it wasn’t very good at all. Best to skip this place and just make yourself a hot dog at home.

Perfume River Restaurant 香河越南餐廳: Vietnamese Food In Hong Kong

Hong Kong at night is very breath-taking! The architecture of the buildings always impress me. Staying out late makes people hungry, so we went on the search for some food.

My grandpa took us to Perfume River Restaurant in Causeway Bay. Perfume River Restaurant is a 2-storey restaurant that sells Vietnamese food. The restaurant was pretty full, so we thought it would be a good place to eat at.

This is the first floor. When you walk to the back, there are stairs that will lead you to the 2nd floor.

Rare Beef Noodle with Soup

Cooked Beef Noodle with Soup

Lime, chilli peppers, and fish sauce is given with pho.

Pork Skewers

Beef Skewers

Vegetable and beef medley

Steamed Mushroom Rice Squares

Since the restaurant is close to Times Square, we decided to walk around. Plus, some shops were still open too!

Overall, Perfume River Restaurant service was very horrible. We had to pour our own tea since the waitress was busy talking to the other servers. The food quality is pretty poor as well. I would probably avoid this place next time.
