I really hate and love Spring Garden lane, there are so many nice eateries, but its a battle of pedestrians and cars.

Discovered the new Yogurt shop which is totally out of place, it is really done up compared to the other shops next to it.
The rest on this road are Chinese.
There is another branch of this at Shatin.

Basically this shop sell three items, pastries, coffee and froyo.
I dont drink coffee, so didnt buy coffee.
It would be good if they had a sit in area.

Anyway from the pastry counter at the front I was attracted by this [pie] looking pastry, which turns out to be an apple turnover.
I wonder if it is a Chinese version.

If you search for an Apple Turnover using Flickr or foreign Yahoo, you'll get a triangle looking puff pastry, whereas if you search for a cheese and onion pie, you'll find the one looking like the apple turnover they sell there.

In the end, I got the apple turnover, basically it was apple puree/jam inside not diced stewed apples.
The pastry was very buttery to the point you could smell and I hope it wasn't pork lard because they have a habit of using that in Chinese bakery.

It was slightly too localised for my liking.
