Went here a while ago and was captivated by the rainbow tea.
Decided to go in and check the rainbow tea which turned out to be some berry tea.
In the end I got the ginger root tea because it was different.
The ginger tea was quite fiery but strangely artificial.
As the shop is quite small, there is a minimum drink per person!

[Review 7680] Just noodles @ 德昌魚蛋粉

Went here randomly as I was hungry.
I wasn't expecting anything good as it is just the usual noodles with a choice of fishballs etc.
According to OR there is more than one branch.

Ordered the beef brisket noodles.
The broth was quite light and there were two pieces of radish as well as a few pieces of beef.
The beef wasn't edible as it was dry and hard.
The noodles were just the usual but tasteless.

Most drinks these days are priced between HKD2x to HK39 if it is something fancy, for straight teas from HKD1X - HKD3X.
This joint was serving the cherry with cheese for HKD45.
Cherry and cheese sounded totally weird so I just got the cherry.
I love cherries but it is evidently not popular in Hong Kong.

HEYTEA had cherry a while ago but I missed it so when I saw this place had it I was tempted to try.
HKD43 for tea in Mong Kok is a bit crazy but I still ordered it.

When I got the drink, I was satisfied they didn't use syrup.
It was blended with frozen cherries/puree of some sort.
The taste was quite pleasant with some Jasmine coming through as it was blended with tea.
Overall quite nice but not worth its price tag as the taste wasn't worth ranting about or even a second time.

As I was in the area, decided to try this drinks joints.
The taro milk tea with cream ended up really slushy as the ice was not blended properly.
The taste was ok and palatable but there were just too many pieces of crushed ice which was annoying.

Every time I go past this place it is always busy but never went in to see what it was.
Finally checked it out one afternoon as I had an hour to do nothing.
They serve grass jelly, drinks etc.
The layout of this desserts place is rather cramped.
You have to queue near people who are dining there as there isn't much space in the restaurant.
Finally got to the cashier and ordered the signature icy grass jelly which was topped with taro dough pieces.
The grass jelly is quite nice but it is mostly ice slush beneath it.
Overall, a bit overpriced as it was just slush at the bottom and not much of the grass jelly.
The taro and sweet potato balls were too firm and chewy.

My Day is a wedding venue in TST with a beautiful rooftop
The interior is dreamy and elegant.
As they are doing a tea set at the moment, I seized the opportunity to try it.

Here was the tea set which comes with:
Homemade Mini Seafood Burger + Mini Crabmeat Egg Tart + Smoked Salmon Mousse + Pineapple Roll + Hazelnut mango cake + Blueberry Yoghurt Mousse Cup + Grilled Pineapple + Macarons



Started with the savoury items which were delicious especially the smoked salmon mousse open sandwich topped with caviar, mini burgers.

On the sweet side was the pineapple rolls and delectable macarons which made my day.


A great place to go in the afternoons for tea with beautiful surroundings.
As well as tea sets, they also serve lunch.

Apple Yogurt Cup with Hawthorn And Fruity Granola
2019-08-22  258 瀏覽
Last year Pacific Coffee did a crossover with Yiu Fung's preserved plum and this year they are doing the Hawthorn series which are added to drinks and desserts.
The yoghurt was more captivating because I love apple.
It was an Apple Yogurt Cup with Hawthorn And Fruity Granola which had Yiu Fung's diced hawthorn.
It was pretty good that the granola was separated as it was quite sweet.

The granola was quite nice but then I wouldn't really call it granola as it didn't have much oats or nut.
They were just rice crispies and dried fruit which I was quite happy with and it even had dried pineapples and apples as well as Yiu Fung's Hawthorn pieces.
Anyway, the yoghurt and apple at the bottom tasted quite good together so I didn't really need the granola so I just ate then separately.
