17th- 23rd Feb
Via Tokyo Cafe and F21 at Causeway Bay, dinner and desserts at Central on Tuesday
Matcha desserts at Via Tokyo, spent around 10SGD for one bowl of dessert and one third of the matcha latte I think. Cafe hopping is always an expensive hobby sighhh. The matcha desserts were normal but the matcha latte was good :) Like not too sweet. Woohoo I LIKE.
The shop was pretty small so I guess don't go there with a big group. It seems like a nice place to chill alone haha.
Really like this denim thing but not going to spend more than SGD30 on it :( F21, can you have a sale please? :(
I think this is cool too hehehe. But damn mafan to go toilet hahaha.
Was walking around the mall area when we smell really really nice bread but we couldn't find the source of it. Really damn sad :( So we settled for some other street food.
All the random pork stuff and I tried 猪血 for the first time. It tasted like tofu texture and I will say my favourite sentence again "It's all in the mind"
Oh we also had quite good egglets there :) Then headed off to Central to meet some HKU people for dinner. The world is like really small. Can't believe my reputation of being foodie has spread erm so far...
Third time at Yat Lok already!! And can't believe I don't get to eat (fatty) roasted pork again. Must head back there for lunch one there!!! I WANT MY MEAT.
What's dinner without desserts in HK? So we headed to Leaf's dessert, a shop we found on Openrice. Openrice is seriously a saviour for us when we don't know what to eat. Anyone coming HK should seriously download this app :)
And omgggg, this Leaf's dessert is like a roadside stall where locals will eat. What an authentic experience :) And here's like the cheapest dessert I ever eat in HK!!!
All the desserts cost like HKD11 except for the white bowl of coconut sago which costs HKD12! Which is like SGD2 per bowl omggg. In HK, all the desserts I have eaten cost around HKD20+ hmm.
All the desserts at the shop are pretty unique. Like black sesame was mixed with almond wow.
And I kind of like the ginger mochi thing provided :)
Pretty hilly areas in the background that is so pretty and surreal looking.
Pretty rocks again :) Anw it was pretty crazy. Went through this temple run like route to get access to rocks LOL. Like we had to climb a ladder, walk on narrow pavement sideways, hold onto a rock to climb up an obstacle, climb down ladders, climb more rocks... Crazy us. And crazier them to attempt climbing this whole rocky area haha.

Porridge (from dk what shop) and desserts at Heart's Dessert at Sham Shui Po and birthday surprise on Wednesday
Had fish porridge yaaay to fish hehe. Porridge always give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Like it feels like a comfort food :') Especially in cold weather hehe.
Headed for desserts again oops. Tried this mango pomelo and tauhuay thingy.
Was pretty good, but the shop was famous for some coconut dessert... Hence I MUST GO BACK AND EAT THE COCONUT AND CARAMEL PUDDING SOMEDAY!!
Played pool to while time till it was 12am so we could celebrated Sarah's 21st :)
Cheung Sha Wan and Tsim Sha Tsui on Thursday
Wanted to head to Sun Wah cafe for egg tarts but wth, it was closed for construction. But then luckily there was some shop selling some small tarts and the egg tarts were pretty good ^^ Love how I can always find random shops selling egg tarts, bolo bun woohoo.
Tasted pretty amazing cause it was piping hot, the crust was flaky and the egg taste was pretty strong. Yaaay ^^ Also tried the coconut tart and some biscuit thing. Really wanna eat some good laopobing sigh haha.
Travelled all the way to Tsim Sha Tsui for Star Cafe which was famous for tomato noodles. Read online that the shop was quite well hidden and it really was! It was located at a basement and near massage parlours hmm. HAHA.
Okay so you may be thinking what's so famous about a bowl of tomato noodles. Okay must emphasize that this was pretty good. It wasn't some tomato paste like noodles like Prego and spaghetti. It was like real tomato boiled soup which was thick enough to be paste like. Woohoo. Added eggs cause we are so addicted to eggs already LOL.
No but seriously, I eat eggs everyday. :O
Okay before we went for the noodles, we had egglet again :) The egglet shop looks famous but wasn't nice at all. Ordered the taro one cause it sounded unique and I seriously love taro but the taste wasn't strong :(
Anyway back to after dinner, what's dinner without desserts right? Forever eating desserts. Finally tried Lab Made. Liquid nitrogen icecream. HKD39 which is like more than SGD6 omggggg. But worth it. Cause it tasted damn freaking good but seriously can't eat out so often hahaha.
Sweet potato icecream ^^
Oh and then headed back to school for Cantonese lessons yawns. Forever sleepy during lessons hahha.
Cheung Chau on Saturday
Yaaay to normal weather. Sunny days are so awesomeeee. Could finally leave school and head to some nature places. Feel like we are always travelling on a a ferry to some island on weekends. But really love HK islands. Nice getaway :)
Who says we only eat!!!
Cheung Chau is really pretty. Wonder how amazing it will be to retire there!! But it seems pretty scary there. Saw so many helicopter trips being made to fetch people to hospital? OMG.
Anw amazing company as usual :)
Anyway had amazing mochi, egglet and sesame and peanut candy courtesy of Selica's parents. Love the street food at Cheung Chau!! :)
Oh and had porridge at Cheung Chau and finally had youtiao omggg. Miss Singapore's youtiao hahaha.
And one bowl of porridge wasn't enough LOL. Headed to Central for supper at Man Yuen's noodles. Beef brisket noodles! First plate of noodles that doesn't have the weird yellow noodles taste.
Beef brisket noodles for HKD36 (SGD6) which was cheap for Central's standards. And noodles are always pretty expensive here. Like the wanton mee I super love also cost that much in Jordan area.
Okay byeeeee. Anyway time flies omgggg. Soon I will be in HK for like two months. Really starting to love being here. Playing pool and squash and going to the gym frequently, crazy shopping trips and HTHTs ^^ Shall enjoy my remaining time on exchange. Till the next post :)
