DESERTS!

.
mood: Reminiscing.

there are many things that i miss about HK.
walking around. hiking the escalator.
the cold weather.
the harbour.
the city.

but the MAIN thing i'll miss about HK,
no it's not even shopping
well OK and a little on shopping

it's their deserts!!!

but when everyone came to visit,
and i said desert.
they thought it would be something like,
'sweet talk' or 'KTZ' or 'Kim Gary' style.

those deserts are overrated.
and passe already in HK.

perhaps only a few shops still operate as tong sui shops.
honeymoon and one more in nathan road's area.

ANYWAY~

almost every day, before i left,
i had to stop by VANILLA.
to get their choc smudge cake.
it's SO bitter sweet that it's a SIN to eat it.
and i would say it's the cheapest cheap thrill desert on mid-levels.


the price starts from HKD26 onwards.

ANTIQUE, it's near the famous egg tart shop.
right opposite. forgotten the street's name.

they sell all sorta cakes and deserts.
one was called, tira-i-mis-u?
OMG i forgotten!

OMFG.
what is wrong with my memory skill!
going down the drain as age catches up.


most deserts in HK are slightly smaller than our palm.



mr ginger bead doing splits!


SHIFT. again i forgotten the street's name.
but if you BRING me there,
i CAN so SHOW you where it is.



the deserts in this shop is basically a designer's desert.
price can range from... apx HKD60 to HKD200.
pretty steep. but it does taste so YUMMIE ah~



they also have a courtyard area.
which is SO cool!
so rustic and yet so modern.
but i was TO shy to snap pictures.
LOLs.



if you thought SHIFT was mad with the pricing.
ZOE would probably make Bakerzin look cheap.



but of cuz not all their cake is priced at this level,
some do start from HKD38 onwards.
but to know that there's a HKD1500 cake,
that's just... crazy!
add another HKD300 and i can have my miu miu wallet.



tho another requirement from them is,
if you don't eat more than HKD50 per person,
you are not entitled to sit in that restaurant.
you'll have to settle with take away~
which is what we did. so poor ma.



however fancy their new lifestyle deserts maybe,
i still love my put chai ko.
cheap and YUMMIE.

MMMM~ sedaps!


ah. i need a holiday~
i am so missing JAPAN this whole month.
