Afternoon tea at Hyde and co

Back in Singapore and the Haze is really bad, adding to the turmoil of the heat and humid weather! 

Headed to Hyde and Co for afternoon high tea. 

Location:
785 North Bridge Rd


Initially wanted to order the afternoon tea set but it ran out, so we ordered the scone set, a affogato waffles and pork pullman mantou to share. 

Was impressed when the food arrived. Pretty floral teapots with interesting tea concoction, beautifully plated dishes which are photo-ready.

Pullman Pork in Deepfried Mantou! Interesting dish over here which is a western-asian fusion. 
My fave is the Affogato waffles, espresso sauce, melted marshmallow and vanilla ice cream. Taste heavenly! 

Hello Kitty's Secret Garden Hong Kong

Discovered that Hong Kong has a Hello Kitty Cafe. I'm definitely in for it when it comes to Hello Kitty Dining! 

Location:
19 Ormsby St, Tai Hang, Hong Kong

Walked from Causeway bay and took about 15 minutes. There's many tiny and interesting cafes along the stretch. 


Pretty limited items on the menu. There's savory and sweet items that they serve - Pizza, Sandwich, Toasts, Salads, Hamburgers, Desserts. 


That was pretty much the desserts left when i arrived and most of the popular ones were gone. 

I expected the cafe to have a much bigger floor space. It's pretty tiny and could only seat around 6 - 7 groups of diners, either in pairs or in fours. By the time I arrived, it was near to closing time so it wasn't too crowded. Pretty lucky!



Hello Kitty Mousse Cake and Green Tea Latte which tasted not bad! 

Hong Kong - Pier 88 Dao Xiang Dim Sum

Headed to Mongkok for Dimsum. How can one miss out the delicious dimsum when in hongkong! 

Location:
Pier 88 稻香超級漁港 
Shop B, 3/F, Grand Tower, 639 Nathan Road, Mong Kok 
旺角彌敦道639號雅蘭中心二期3樓B號舖

It was quite hard to find, and after entering the wrong lifts and buildings several times, we finially found it at one of the corner turns of the building with lifts to various restaurants

By the time we reached the restaurant it was about 330pm, and from 2pm to 5pm, the dimsums are at cheaper rates. So its pretty awesome to get a good deal from the off-peak dining. However even at the off peak dining hour, the restaurant was still so packed to the brim. The service staff were all quite rude and abrupt, which is quite typical of hongkong. Food came in 15 minutes time, and we were starving by then to leave any remmants for picture taking. The food was really yummy, and the ingredients are fresh! The custard bun was good, the custard was flowing out just as you open it. Ordered 12 dishes and was too full to finish everything. It's really value for money, with 12 dishes only costing us 78HKD each ($17sgd)
