Came across this bakery while I was randomly exploring MACAU.There were so many sweet and savoury items to choose from and it was affordable as well.
There was this interesting cheese and mochi bread!

The custard and salted egg yolk roll looked good as well.

But as it was tea time, I prefer having cakes so I had the green tea snow cake and the black forest cake.
Both were light and delicious filled with cream that was not too sweet.
The chocolate cake in the black forest was really good with a strong chocolate taste.
As for the matcha, the white fluffy cream on top was heavenly.

This is the second branch with its first in Quarry Bay.
They have the wraps, salads, hot dishes and desserts which are grab and go.


As a pandan lover,I had the pandan latte.

I was really excited because I have never had it in latte form before.


The colour of the latte was pastel mint green which reminds me of mint icecream in UK but strangely mint icecream is not popular in Hong Kong.
It was absolutely the best latte I have had because I just love Pandan.
The smell was good and the sweetness was just right as well as the temperature so I'll definitely come back for it.
I was pretty chuffed because it had a lovely foam cap on top.

Halloween cake

My friend wanted a cake for Halloween so chose this one.
I was looking forward to it because I like black forest.
It turned out really disappointing because there was more cream than cake and it was that plastic fake cream.
There was about 20% cake so it was just cream and nothing else with a few pieces of jelly.
The cake was decorated with milk chocolate and some candy pebbles which you wouldn't want to eat anyway but the cake wasn't pricey so fair enough!

Pizza night in Central

It was busy at LFK so decided to come for here a quiet night of pizza.
There were so many to choose from.
It turns out that every pizza was inspired by the Chefs friends.

Started with the pumpkin with white truffle salad.
The pumpkin slices were roasted with a fragrant truffle oil taste and they were sweet with a slight crisp texture to it.

The pizza I chose was MechEng because I loved this subject at Uni.
Uncle Wyman was favorable because it reminds me of this famous cantopop influencer.
The pizza was impressive as It had all my favourite punchy elements like anchovies, red onions and cajun chicken.
I liked the chicken they used because it was pure white meat.

The chicken lollipops were juicy.
It was paired with honey BBQ sauce which tasted like HP sauce mixed with black pepper and smokey BBQ sauce so it was very tasty.

I have been looking forward to this restaurant since I saw all these different prawn dishes.As well as prawns, they serve other Taiwanese fare as well.
Ordered the chili and lime prawns because the pairing of chili and lime never fail.
The taste was fiery with a tangy lime flavour which had a Thai twist to it.

Next were healthy kale cooked with garlic and wolfberries.
They pretty much taste like Chinese kale but with more leafy parts.
 0 讚好

As a stinky tofu lover, I ordered the spicy stinky tofu with blood jelly,
This was delicious with rice.
 0 讚好

Also had the fried tofu which were crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.
The texture was like marshmallow.


Finished with the drink which was impressive because there was real juice in it and it didn't taste artificial.

Went there for a gathering because they offer long tables that can cater for big groups.
That night, there were two dinner sets: Almond blossom or Sunflowers.
The Sunflower was the heavier menu but it was difficult choosing because both menus were very different and there would be something you would want on both menus!!
In the end I went for the Sunflower.

Started with the bread basket.

Here was the sunflowers set that I had:
French Oyster, Gazpacho Pearls
 0 讚好

A strong fresh oyster complemented by the refreshing and pretty Gazpacho pearls.

Hokkaido Scallop, Sweet Corn Puree:


The scallop was tender and the sweet corn was very sweet, a nice sweet twist following the oyster.

Dutch Peas & Smoked Ham Soup:
I loved this because it was loaded with ingredients, a hearty soup just like Western soups.


Burrata Cheese & Heirloom Cherry Tomato,Beetroot ,Basil Foam:
This was colourful and appetizing with a silky lightness from the basil foam.


Braised 24hours Wagyu Beef Cheek Fettuccine, 14months DOP Asiago Crispy

The pasta was filling and they make their own pastas.

Carabinero Prawns & Mussels, Sea Asparagus


The prawns and sea asparagus were strong and I loved the saltiness of the sea asparagus.

USDA Prime Beef Tenderloin , Artichoke & Red Shallot USDA:
Finished the dinner with this tender and juicy tenderloin on a bed of delicious mash.

∞∞
Orange Sticky Cake , Blue Butterfly Pea Sauce:
Dessert was sweet and divine with my favourite orange cake.
Nothing more and nothing less.

∞∞∞∞
Finished with tea which was a perfect and special end to dinner because they had Sunflower tea which is really unique and matches the whole dinner and restaurant flawlessly.

The TST branch is much bigger and spacious compared to the branch in Central.


As well as tea, this branch is the first to serve Bubble waffles with ice-cream.
You get to choose an icecream from six flavours and a topping.
I chose the matcha with oreo crumbs and salted cream topping.
It was such a sweet treat because the bubble waffles were crisp and soft in the middle.
Dipping it the cream topping made it better.

Finished off with a matching matcha tea with pearls.
The pearls here are unique because they are chewy with a caramel taste to them.

Winter is coming and they offer hot drinks too like Jasmine Pear and Ginger, lemon and lime paired with your choice of tea.
