Coffee Bar by Day & Bar by Night
2018-08-25 37 瀏覽
Causeway Bay is a boring place if you don't like shopping.
I always find myself retreating to the library to get away from the crowd because there are not many quiet cafes about.
Discovered this place because Sosoku recommended it.
I was greeted by this modern style cocktail bar.
At Appendix Coffee & Bar they serve coffee during the day and at night it turns into a bar.
In the daytime you will see coffee and related items on the shelves, at night the smart sliding shelves will slide over and reveal alcoholic bottles and glasses.
How lucky was I to get there in the late afternoon so I could order coffee and then watch the cafe change into a bar.
The latte and mocha were to my liking.
While I was having coffee, I was impressed by the peace and quiet as most coffee machinery are noisy.
At Appendix, they use this nice and quiet gadget for disposing coffee pucks!!
The cafe area had good privacy which makes you stay longer, hence I stayed for drinks.
The signature cocktail selection had a great twist as each one has an occupation name eg Big 4's Auditor, The Beautician, Doctor Mo etc.
Each cocktail has been crafted in taste and to visually reflect what each occupation is like.
I settled for Big 4's Auditor and the 2G Rich Kid.
Big 4's Auditor:
[Atom Espresso, Licor 43, Marsala, Mascarpone with half and half]
The sweet bitterness of the drink reflects their hard life whilst earning lots of money!
2G Rich Kid:
[Bacardi Ocho, Falernum, Pineapple Shrub, Hone, lime, egg white and Witiber]
I loved the golden pineapple chalice! Who doesn't want to be rich which is reflected by the sour tones of enviousness!
Pinchos:
To complement my cocktails, I had some light pinchos, each one was different and delicious.
My favourite was the vinegared anchovy.
Tiramisu:
Finished with the tiramisu which had a popping surprise being topped with popping candy!
I shall be coming here more often when I am unfortunately in CWB!

Went here with friends as they wanted to go to a girly cafe.
White button has dreamy decor.
Started with drinks which were all instaworthy especially the wacky crystal ball.
My friend had the all day breakfast and rose mille crepe.
The strawberry souffle pancake came as a shock as the pancake was just like an omelette topped with strawberry sauce.
I was impressed with the strawberry sauce because it was not too sweet and natrual.
The souffle pancake was light with a buttery taste.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while but the service was unwelcoming. Finally tried it and they were still unwelcoming, it was like as if I interrupted them getting a break.
Anyway ordered the noodles and they were too spicy.
I know they are meant to be spicy but they were extremely spicy as if extra chili was added.

Crostini has expanded and there are so many Crostini cafes about serving pizzas and sandwiches etc.
Tried the pepperoni pizza.
The pizza base was surprisingly good as it was fresh, soft and chewy.
On the other hand the cheese was disappointing as it was tasteless but the olives and pepperoni saved the day.

[Review 6785] Taiwanese fare at KCC @ 大公雞

The food scene at Kwai Hing has finally changed and there are more options now.
As well as the usual chain restaurants, BIG COCK and Delicious Roasted Chicken got my attention.
Delicious Roasted Chicken is on the 8th Floor while BIG COCK is on the escalator accessed floors.
Went to BIG COCK as the name sound sexy if you know what I mean!
The pictures of Delicious Roasted Chicken on openrice were disappointing as you would expect some roast chicken but the appear to serve noodles which is a waste of a good name.
Anyway, settled at the BIG COCK for lunch.
It was Taiwanese fare, so had the Beef tendon noodles.
There was quite a lot of tendons in the bowl which were soft and gelatinous.
The wide noodles had a good chew to it.
The Taiwanese oyster omelette was quite stodgy but the sauce made it better.
The squid patties were nicely done.
The scallion oil noodles were a bit bland for my liking.
Overall the food was ok but look quite different from the menu photos.
Finished with the mango smoothie and fruit tea.

Went here again because of the pandan gelato.
The pandan taste was spot on but the texture was not on!
Although it tasted great, the texture was horrible because it was powdery and crumbly which made it very expensive for $35.
I think the fault lies in the cream they used as I have made easy icecream before where you just blend the flavour and whipping cream.
The icecream I made had the exact horrible texture as this one owing to the cheap crappy cream which ruined everything.
