Went here during the summer so I don't know if they are still that good.
I have been meaning to try this place but it is located between HKU and Sai Ying Pun.
Anyway, went here one Sunday as I was craving for some noodles.
All the noodles were around $25 per bowl and the portions are small which meant I could try others.
Started with the Classic boat noodle which did not disappoint as the broth was strong.
Next was the Tomyumkung noodles which had a refreshing flavour as well as a spicy kick.
The Hainan Chicken was ok but not as good as the noodles.
The curry noodles was too spicy for my liking.
Despite trying four items, I will still be coming back because there are some soups I want to try!!

Got the Halloween pumpkin mousse as it was getting near Halloween.
The mousse was light and silky and there were real pieces of pumpkin in it.
In between the layers were sponge cake to separate it.
Luckily there were layers of sponge cake as the mousse was so damn sweet otherwise it would have been perfect and it was lacking some spices like Cinnamon.

SaladStop! is a successful salad joint from Asia.
It was founded in 2009 with the aim of bringing a new dimension to salads and approach to fast food.
All their salad dressings are made fresh each morning with limited amounts so that nothing is wasted.
Everything is made to order and they do pick ups as well.
I love wraps because they are convenient to eat.
The ones here are crammed with so much salad and the wrap is thin in proportion.
If you prefer salad, all wraps are available as salads.
To cater for Hong Kong, they also do warm grain bowls.

For salads, my favourites were the tuna and falafel.
Both were finely tossed in dressing and crammed with nutritious ingredients.

The dessert range is impressive with muesli and chia seeds which can also be eaten for breakfast.

For winter, I liked the Turmeric Latte which is beginning to get popular.
It was quite strong and fiery as fresh turmeric is used.

Will stop by again if I am in the area.

I am always in the area so went here for dinner.
For mains, had the all day breakfast,  Strozzapreti and Roast Chicken.

The Strozzapreti was nice and creamy with a chew to it infused with black truffle.
The breakfast was  a good variety of everything.
The star of the show was the roast chicken.

I was really impressed with the roast potatoes.
The staff were good and knew their stuff as they could tell me which potatoes had been used.
Finished with fruit tea which was a good way to end the meal.


They even had pomelo sago is smoothie form so it was a great dessert drink!!

Sai Ying Pun is a lovely place, you will find many historical buildings.
Walking from High Street, there is a famous haunted house and going down one of the lanes, there is one of the oldest paper mache shops in town and this joint is right next to it.
It might bother some people but I appreciate it as a form of art as well.
The menu during and day and night are different and I chose to visit during the day as they have donburis and I love the flexibility as they have Chirashi donburi where you can pick what you want instead of fixed items.
All lunches come with soup and salad.
Both donburis were good especially the chirashi as I got to pick prawns, minced toro and scallop.
The black curry is worth ordering but it was a bit different to what I was expecting because they said it was fruity with apple.
Although it tasted good, I felt that it tasted like Leek Curry as the leek was more prominent.
The vegetable tempura was perfectly golden.
Will come back for dinner sometime.

The food is good depending on what you order.
Unfortunately, the seating isn't comfy.
The metal drum tables were pretty annoying as you have to sit in a way that either your upper torso is twisted or you need to have your legs wide open as there is no leg space.
The bar table by the entrance corridor is practically useless as part of it is inclined at an angle.
As for the food, the pho was almost the next best because of the strong herbs and clear broth but the saltiness killed it.
The banhmi was palatable.

Since my last visit, there are more new cakes in the cabinet so decided to give it another go!!!!!!
Deluxe Bakery is a one stop for everything, they have cookies, cakes, artisan cakes and bakery.
I have been here quite a few times so decided to sum it up in one go.

On the first visit, I got some bakery for breakfast.
The walnut cheese bread was quite nice and the bread had a nice texture.

The sesame matcha bread with red beans was a nice sweet bread with starchy red beans which made it a great afternoon treat with tea.

The other time we got some cakes for an afternoon treat.
My favourite was the pink one which was pretty as well as tasting good as it was light and not too sweet.
The other cakes were delectable especially the Baileys and Chocolate.As well as cakes, my boss got a box of cookies which has six assorted flavours.
All of them were crumbly and delicious.
