I was in KF for a food crawl.
This was not on my list to eat but noticed it because of the big satay which looks cool but also looks like turd to othe some people!!!
Got the Es dawet which was mainly flavoured by the coconut sugar.
The taste was very coconutty and it was not too sweet because I asked for less sugar not for health reasons but I just don't like drinks that are cloyingly sweet.
The green pieces were soft but couldn't quite taste anything.

3 ITALIANI meaning three Italians is obviously opened by three Italians.

At 3 ITALIANI, you can expect a good choice of authentic Italian gelato, chocolate and coffee.

There are 30 different flavours of gelato and sorbet.
(20 traditional Italian flavours and 10 Asian flavour on offer in Hong Kong).

They are made in store everyday, free from preservatives, syrups and colouring which can be seen behind the glass.

There are 5 flavours exclusively created for Hong Kong: 3 Italiani (mango, coconut and sponge cake), Chocolate Wasabi, English Trifle, Crema Antica and Chocolate sorbet.
The chocolate sorbet is an interesting one because it still tastes of strong chocolate without the milk.
Clearly English Trifle was my favourite being English.
It is slightly different to the trifle with custard and jelly because it had cherries, dark choc, red velvet cakes, small amount of liqueur but it was still good.
The best thing is that you can add whipped cream to it which I did.

Great coffee:

Also tried the waffle with nutella and cream, a great dessert to share:

Only discovered this place because I was on my way to have lamb next door but decided to try the lamb pilaf.
This could be the only possible place in Kowloon for Northern delights because the only ones I know are Bayi and this other one in Tinhau.
Anyway, ordered the lamb pilaf but sadly they were not serving the traditional rice as shown on the picture so I they served plain rice instead.
The lamb ribs were meaty and tender, it was soft and moist but quite fat at the same time.

Overall it was quite good but it was a bit disappointing that they didn't have the signature rice to go with it.
Slightly overpriced for MK.

I love avocado smoothies and the one here is sugar free.
It was only $28 which is cheap compared with the prices in the city.
The smoothie was lovely and thick with a balanced avocado and milk taste.
It was slightly savoury which a decent avocado taste to it.
They did not blend it with much ice so it wasn't watered down.

Went here specifically for the noodles tossed with chicken.
The portion was big and it was tasty.
The crispy pork skin was really good and the chicken was tender and soft.
I wanted the durian sticky rice but the durian was sold out so I opted without mango because I don't like mango.
The glutinous rice could have been better because the rice tasted a bit old.

Before I went, I didn't know what to expect from this place but it soon became clear why it was called Mirror & Vegan Concept because there are so many mirrors at the restaurant and they serve Vegan food.
It was basically Italian dishes like pasta and risotto but in Vegan form so it was simple and fuss free.
The vegetarian scene lacks something like this because it is normally too jazzed up or Asian.
Started off with heirloom tomato and cheese salad.
I was really glad this was on the menu as it is really difficult to get Vegan Italian food in HK.
The best thing is that it tastes just how it should while being vegan.
Next was the mushroom soup which I found thick and creamy.
Finished with the spaghetti bolognese which was al dente in a thick tomato sauce.
Again flawless!
Hoping to see other pastas like gnocchi, tortellini and ravioli!
Ended with a nice cup of tea.

Too soft

Previously went to the branch in Kowloon City which was overpriced but tasted ok.Took my friend to this one and we had fishballs and shaomai.
To be fair, they taste the same at all branches but the texture of the fishballs and shaomai here were too soft for my liking.

The fishballs have a sweet aftertaste so they go well with the chili sauce on the table.
