CAFE 1950 | HONG KONG

It was a really relaxing afternoon with two friends hanging out to the most residential place; we are surrounded by the neighbors and actually the cafe is inheriting the Taiwanese Cafe style, which provides a slow atmosphere, very good price for afternoon tea time, free-flow drinks, and even when we checked out the dinner menu, it was very impressive in its good presentation, wide collection of Asian and European cuisine, and unbeatable price!!!

BREAD N BUTTER CAFE | HONG KONG

It was the start of warm weekend in Hong Kong, where we found it super difficult to have a decent place to continue the girls talk with my fellow beauties in Central. Walking down from Sheung Wan, a spacious outdoor cafe discovery is totally in vain; so that we swift our attention to PMQ. Bread n Butter Cafe, with the showcase by bread n butter, another cross-boarder play in Hong Kong. Parisian style leads the whole cafe's design, even including the menu. It's featured by a collection of traditional French crepes but also some Asian twist like Crepe Hong Kong or Crepe Tokyo. As to the drink menu, it is more British to my opinion which offer a wide range of tea (served by T-brand tea bag) in some special flavor like ginger & lemon. 

EGG EGG TARTS TARTS | MACAU

Macau Macau!!! Tarts Tarts!!! Every time talking about Macau, I just cannot stop to miss those lovely palm-size tarts; freshly made, hot-hot, crispy-layered, sweet or savory, and fatty-fatty :D (Com-on, all delicious food in this world would not be a 'healthy & non-fat' item!!!)

I was so happy about my last weekend holiday in Macau, which at least freed me a full afternoon and night plus a short morning to explore the real local Macau foods! Can you imagine how pissed-off I feel that I have been to Macau 3 times but tried ONLY Margaret's Portuguese Tart!!! Finally I have my second exploration of egg tarts this time and gonna share with you as usual.

SPANISH SMALL BITES | ESPUMA | HONG KONG

Spanish cuisine is no longer special in Hong Kong, following the mass Spanish culinary restaurants popping up; but Spanish-theme cafe seems a new word. Espuma, a young Spanish cuisine line, is quietly exploring Hong Kong, from their first cafe in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Cafe is the basic definition of Espuma, exactly the same as this Spanish word, making some fresh & new foam to eaters in Hong Kong. Novell, the mature Spanish brand, is bring Espuma coffee beans from Barcelona and a line of Spanish dishes and tapas in lighter version to form up the Premium European-style cafe, meanwhile, they are localized by inputing Japanese-Taiwan desserts and drinks to cater younger eaters.

ORGANIC AND RAW HEALTHY | MAYA CAFE MEDITERRANEAN LIFESTYLE | HONG KONG

Maya is a healthy baby growing up with fresh juice, coconut ingredients, organic farm products, coffee beans and wine. The little restaurant is featured in a purely white and blue Mediterranean tone with some colorful exotic decorations. Two intelligent ladies behind this great idea are, actually fashion designer and business-owner, meanwhile they are bringing the Mediterranean cuisine (South France, Italy, Spain) and Indian spices by their knowledge of where they come from. 

The restaurant is more like a combination of daytime-cafe and nighttime-bistro, serving a rich collection of light dishes and drinks. Maya runs from the early breakfast till late dinner in the famous but quiet area of Wanchai (Star/Moon Street), and differs largely from the nearby restaurants by their dining concept.

Sometimes We Are Not Just For Food - iBakery

iBakery is a special cafe, located in Tamar Park, Admiralty, right under the government buildings. It's a society-responsibility restaurant, of course running for profit. They train and hire some special servers there and giving them a new life with confidence and contribution. I'm quite appreciate to that way to lifting up and helping special group of people in our society, personally, it's much better to 'teach you how to cook, instead of giving you a piece of bread!'

SINMEI TEA 川善茶居 | HONG KONG

Wanna a green afternoon for weekend? Then you must go there, and remember to call for booking first! 

Yes, Sinmei Tea, located in Sheung Wan (very close to MTR exit) and a typical upper cafe. Signature green tea (Matcha) pastries and drinks are what they should be proud of and the reason go for a visit. Sometimes seated inside to enjoy a relax hiding environment, sometimes faces to Sheung Wan's old buildings while sitting outside; and never get boring to their creative green productions.

Afternoon Tea for Nights

This is my second time in Rondavy's Artisan Kitchen, this little Jardin upstairs in Causeway Bay. Heard the good news from blogger friends through Facebook that Ron's place has re-built and enlarged a lot with new painting on the wall. And I'm so happy to hear that they are now encouraging dinner dining experience to the customers for the all-day-breakfast and some new mousses cake flavors.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE

Glad to have my first exposure on printing media!!! Bravo :)

週二的九點踏入9/F的Tea Room，幾乎已是收市的景象，僅僅留下幾桌閒聊的客人，碩大的茶室中，如星空般坐落簡單的木椅木桌，符合台灣小清新，也符合誠品的書香氣。Tea Room 的特色似乎落在飲品上，由台灣送來的各種烏龍茶、花茶是推薦之作，愛甜的朋友也有四款特色可可飲品，蛋糕方面因為臨近尾聲的關係，只剩下兩塊，清新的奶油配草莓和濃濃的truffle chocolate，價格方面，是有些小貴的。

絕對不能錯過的星洲早餐 | 亞坤（牛車水總店）| SINGAPORE

說道新加坡，再提到早餐，即可想到“咖央”二字！的確，到了新加坡，著名的星洲早餐是無論如何不能錯過的！一杯南洋咖啡，一份咖央多士，再來一客嫩蛋，一份街頭分發的星洲早報，旅遊就是要體驗當地人的平常生活。

週日的寧靜

忙忙碌碌的一周到了最後一日，睡個大大大懶覺，頂著亂糟糟的鳥窩頭，腦子里前一夜的狂歡餘音還未消殆盡，有些昏沉沉。簡單將自己書裡乾淨，省事到連防曬霜都懶得擦便與好友出門尋找一周末的brunch。外面的大太陽讓人一秒都不像多停留，大步流星的盤上樓梯終於來到位於樓梯中間的Common Ground

地標級的甜品享受 | AH TENG'S BAKERY | SINGAPORE

去到Raffles Hotel的其中一個目的便是酒店旗下的Ah Teng's Bakery，An Teng's Bakery與Empire Cafe共享同一個空間，下午時分更有尊貴級的Afternoon Hightea供應。沿著走廊走到底部的轉角位置便能尋到這間Bakery，推開白色木門入到內，寬敞安靜的空間，頭頂旋轉的古銅色仿古吊扇，古銅色為主調的餅柜配以透著陽光的白色薄紗窗簾，四面牆上掛著的二三十年代的女星畫像，古色古香的座椅、白色啡色相間的菱形地板，讓人一下子有種說不出來的不同凡響。

BUGIS SECRET | FIKA SWEDISH CAFE & BISTRO | SINGAPORE

忙碌又享受的旅程快近尾聲，下午就要返回旅社pack野去機場，沒想到臨走前遇上個“沒有更好”的晴朗天氣，不但萬里晴空，還是烈陽高照，陽光好到讓人睜不開眼！來到武吉士（Bugis）的異域風起區，尋找新加坡又一個夜蒲好去處（可惜只能白日裡造訪一下）。Beach Road附近一帶都是超有異域風情的街頭塗鴉，一棟棟house一字排開，將一塊四四方方的區域橫豎劃列，有點似上海的田子坊。白日里當然沒有夜晚的熱鬧與風情，許多店都未開鋪，閒散的遊走其中，仿佛置身于迷宮，被周身五彩斑斕的顏色所迷惑。發現其中也有不少有意思的獨立小店，手工藝品，服飾，手袋，生活用品，設計小物都不少，若是有時間可以細細逛一逛。
