Strange name

The English name for this shop is [A nice gift] so I thought it was a gift shop when I saw it on the shopping directory.
It turned out to be a tea shop so decided to check it out.
The teas are reasonably priced from $17-28.
Tried the oolong with cheese milk foam.
Despite asking for it without ice, it was still blended with ice.
Anyway, you could taste the oolong but it was quite artificial.

[Review 6502] Vegetarian food in a peaceful place @ 隨然有機玄米菜食料理

Naturalead Organic Veggie Café is a new Vegan joint in TST.When I got there, I was surprised how quiet it was.
The menu was quite simplistic so I ordered pasta and rice because I love carbs.
They use organic brown rice and veggies which are not treated and refined carbs and sugars are not served here.

To start with I had the Tempeh in Teriakyi sauce which was really good, it was soft and full of unami flavour.

The Gomoku brown rice was very moist and had a nice chew to it.

The spaghetti was colorful and appetizing with lots of vegetables.

Overall, the food was healthy and delicious but the portions were a little too small for me.

The King of Sole opened a while ago on Wan Chai Road but it has been hard trying to make a visit because the location is a bit awkward.
Tried the Laksa vermicelli which was more like glass noodles.
The flavour wasn't bold enough and the noodles were too soft.
Although the menu says stir fried noodles, it was more like noodles with the soup drained off and then mixing it  with laksa sauce.

The soup fared better, it had a dollop of crab paste in it, again quite bland.

[Review 6500] Egg Tart Quiches @ Quiche Yoroizuka

Even since Quiche Yoroizuka opened a joint at SOGO, I have always been curious because the display quiches look plastic like candied toys covered in resin, savory egg tarts and stuffed yorkshire puddings.
Anyway, finally tried it since they now have a joint at East Point City.
I wasn't sure what the real thing would look like because the Japanese either make the displays identical to the real thing or it can totally be different.
In this case, it was nothing like the plastic displays which is reassuring and the size is so much smaller than the displays!!
To my surprise, the size of the quiche was much smaller and the same size as an egg tart.
The taste was ok, but it was more like a flan because the pastry was soft and floppy.

As well as Thai Desserts, they have other dishes like chicken etc but the desserts looked captivating and the portions were big so I got the coconut pudding and the coconut sago pudding.
The coconut pudding was ok but too sweet.
The coconut sago pudding was really good as it wasn't too sweet and there were generous chunks of sweetcorn and starchy taro.

I was at the music fest with a thirst to cure, so I got the passionfruit tea from here.The tea came in this nice plastic bottle for about $4x.
It wasn't too sweet with a strong passionfruit taste so it was ok.
They serve other things like waffles and icecream.

I am so glad this joint opened as there are not enough vegetarian shops around.Everything gets sold out quickly and HKers do not seem to queue, whoever is the loudest gets served so if you patiently stand there thinking you will get served, you won't in HK.
I managed to get the coconut pudding with jelly in it.
It looked quite pretty as well as tasting quite nice.
The taste is like eating jelly with single cream together with coconut which is really similar to a dessert my friend made which was putting single cream and desiccated coconut flakes on jelly.
