Healthy and light fare served at Deus Cafe
2020-01-25  8 瀏覽
As well as Australian cafes opening in UK like Jamaica Blue, there are other Aussie cafes in Hong Kong like Deus Cafe although not formerly updated on their site yet.


Deus Cafe is located at THE ONE in the IT block offering laid back light meals in a casual area

I always like the try the items which are on the AUZ menu and see how it compares.
The avocado toast was one of the items.
It was toast topped with smashed avocado, feta cheese, zaatar, chili oil and lemon.

Zaatar is a popular spice in the West but not many restaurants serve it in Hong Kong except middle Eastern restaurants.

Settled for the Avocado toast and the prawn salad.
The Avocado toast was as good as anticipated, it was crispy toast smothered with smashed avocado as well as avocado pieces on top with feta crumbs and greens.
Adding the lemon made it even more appetizing.


The prawn salad was colorful with rice vermicelli at the bottom.
Definitely recommended for those on diet.

Back at Omnipalace for thin noodles

Omni Palace specializes in Lanzhou Noodles which are hand pulled by the Noodle master and there are various types ranging from thin to thick.

Previous had The Beef Noodles and  noodles in soy bean paste.
The beef noodle broth had so many spices like cumin, coriander and chili that give you that authentic twist.


Last time I had thick noodles, so this time requested for the thin noodles which were firm , yet silky with a chew.

Overall, top noodles served by snappy staff.

KIKANBO from Japan branches to cwb.
They specialize in spicy ramen and you get to choose the level of spiciness for the chili and sansho.
The ramen shop is hard to miss as there is a huge Kanabō by the door!!!

There are smaller ones inside.

You order by scanning the QR code but I got a blank screen on my phone so the staff lent me her phone.
As the menu was all in Chinese, I ended up ordering two misos, one with babycorn and one without.
I wasn't really bothered with the corn because it was just placed on top to garnish hence it was cold.


Most ramen joints serve spring onions but here they give you Chinese chives which was interesting.

The ramen was flat and broad like tagliatelle but with it was firmer with a chew like udon.
Moving on to the broth, one was not spicy with a strong miso taste and the one I had was to my liking as I chose medium strength for the Sansho pepper which has a numbing effect on the palate.


Overall highly recommended if you like spicy cuisines and for people who like Sichuan numbing style dishes.

Another Korean option in CWB

Went here as I was stuck in CWB.
Although it is a Korean Restaurant I felt that the dishes were Japanese inspired.
There was omurice, pork katsu curry and egg sandwich!

The curry sauce was super spicy and the pork cutlet was average.

If there wasn't a fried sausage and seaweed spring rolls it would look Japanese.

For the omurice, there were a choices of sauces.
Thankfully I chose the beef sauce which was basically beef gravy.

Beneath it was fried rice.

The egg sandwich was instaworthy but it was a dessert sandwich in my opinion as it was really sweet,

Finished with the cream roll which was the star of the show.

The tea which was supposed to be served in a pot was not as the pots have not arrive yet.
For the other drink had the peach soda.

Restaurants always come and go on this stretch of CWB.Anyway, I was in the area again as there is a nice dessert place nearby so went here for food before.
This cozy joint serves Taiwanese food.

The choice of drinks was interesting as they had Thai Milk Tea!

For mains, had the salted shredded chicken with marinated pork, vegetables and rice etc.
It was big and filling .

The pork they serve are cubes of pork belly and not mince.

The sausages were the star of the show because they were crisp with pieces of mountain yam in the middle so it was nicer and tasted different to other Taiwanese style sausages.
The bittermelon soup was disappointing as it just had a strong white pepper taste.

The popcorn chicken was ok but a bit sweet.

The sha cha basil chicken wings had no basil taste at all.

Overall very filling and I loved the disposable chopsticks.
