Memorable visit

Came here after Easter so it was nice and quiet, previously this place used to be a Sichuan Joint.
Lots of restaurants were closed and taking a break from the busy Easter.
Went here because this place had a lot to offer in terms of latte, food and dessert.
There so many lattes to choose from such as beetroot latte, Japanese tea lattes and even turmeric latte.
Then for food, the pork burger was captivating as it is complimented with Japanese pickles which give it a lovely colour contrast as well as taste.
Unfortunately I didn't leave room for dessert otherwise they had some fancy pancakes made with Hojicha or Genmaicha topped with iceream and Japanese dango.
For food, ordered the ginger pork burger, Vegetarian Breakfast and the popcorn chicken with Turmeric Latte, Iced Strawberry shaken tea and Hojicha latte.
Started with the Ginger Pork Burger which was photogenic as well as tasty.
It is different in the sense that they used pink pickled ginger which is tangy and makes the pork appetizing.
As well as ginger there were some julienne cabbage that gave it a nice crunch and the best thing is that the pork was fresh and springy.
You can have it with fries for an extra HKD15 more but we had the popcorn chicken and vegetarian breakfast as well.
I chose the vegetarian breakfast because you get kale, hummus and guacamole as well as sour dough toast.
The thing that made it memorable was their house baked beans which are a mix of the usual beans and chickpeas in a tomato sauce with a twist and that is the THYME herbs according to their staff.
Everything on the plate was delicious especially the beans and sourdough toast.
The salad had a good variety from kale, yellow cherry tomatoes, red radish and fennel so it wasn't just boring local vegetables.
I believe their hummus is homemade as well.
As there was quite a bit of salad, we had the popcorn chicken with it which was perfectly fried with a spicy coating.
For drinks, my picks were the Turmeric and Hojicha latte.
The turmeric latte at this place was really gentle and they added cinnamon to it which gave it a lovely winter mood which a good sweetness.
If you like teas then Hojicha is recommended.
For cold drinks had the Iced shaken Strawberry tea.
Will definitely be back for the pancakes next time.
