The Coffee Academics is an unique coffee shop that's tucked away in a more quiet area of Causeway Bay. After a quick shopping spree, I wanted to find somewhere with good quality coffee and not your typical cup of joe. Coffee Academics popped up in my head since I heard they roast their own coffee beans on the spot. The store has a very interesting set up, with an open balcony sitting on one side, and then community tables in the middle. Then a couple more small tables on the other side of the store. We arrived around 3:00 in the afternoon and there was already a wait out the door. Luckily, we only had to wait for about 15 minutes. While we were waiting, we got to peek through the glass house where there's someone roasting green coffee beans. The guy was nice enough to open the door for me to take some pictures and asked him about roasting coffee beans.

Mou Mou Club is the place to be when I want to binge eat on some good quality beef shabu shabu style. There are 3 different type of sets you can pick from and I usually go with the most expensive set since the quality of the beef is way better. I figured, if I'm going to eat so much meat, it might as well be worth it. The set comes with 5 different kinds of beef (different parts of the cow and different region). Then there's also one type of pork meat to choose from. After selecting the meat type, you also get to select two soup base for your shabu shabu. I picked the tomato soup and the beef soup this time. I wouldn't recommend the tomato soup if you dont want to take away from the beef's original taste. Since it's sour so it takes away the meat's flavor. The beef soup is just a clear soup, so this is better if you decide to go with the higher quality beef. Each table gets 90 minutes to eat, so the time is a little bit rush. There's also a self-served vegetable table along with udon and rice as well. There's also unlimited drinks like soda, juice, and tea. Lastly, there's also ice cream for dessert. Overall, I think Mou Mou is good spot for all you can eat shabu shabu. The place is clean and the meat is overall pretty good quality. The only downfall is there's always a wait, so try to make a reservation early.

Sushi sase is a high end sushi joint in central. It's a small restaurant with simple decor, but the food is amazing! It was my friend's birthday, so we decided to splurge a little came here for lunch. We both got the Hokkaido sushi set ($400). The meal also comes with miso soup, and a salad.

I always try to dine out on restaurant week to check out some restaurants I've never been to. This time, I decided to pick Azure because the menu seems appetizing and I heard the view is nice. The dining room is located on the top of of lkf hotel and the dining area is spacious with lots of natural sunlight. It's great for a sunny lunch. This dish was very well put together starting from the presentation to the taste. The foie gras was lightly seared so the outside was crispy and the inside was soft. It worked perfectly with the sweet sherry sauce on top to balance out the strong foie gras taste. The brioche on the bottom was also hot and crispy. This entree was very delicious. There were chunks of lobsters mixed in to the linguini and the pasta was perfectly cooked to al dente. The star of the dish must've been the sauce that they tossed everything in. It's creamy and rich lobster bisque flavor but not too buttery where you get sick of it. It also comes in a good portion but since it was so good, I had no problem finishing it. This dessert comes with two dishes of creme brulee. One was just a classic flavor and the other with sesame added in. I guess the sesame one was interesting because I've never had creme brulee with a asian twist. But the almond tuile in the middle was horrible since it was stale and wasn't crispy. We ended up not finishing the desserts. Lastly, we were served a cup of cappuccino and petit fours and they were both disappointments. I usually like to drink my cappuccino without sugar, but this cappuccino was so bitter that I had to add some sugar to even take a couple of sips. Then the petit fours were just pieces of dark chocolate and some cream puffs that were not attractive nor did they taste good. Sadly to say, desserts were a total disappointment. But I enjoyed the appetizer and the entree very much. Also, service can be a little bit more attentive here.

I've been wanting to try Shugetsu for a long time since all the rave about the ramen here. I finally got the chance to drop by and tried a bowl of their ramen. The wait during lunch wasn't as bad as I expected, I only had to wait about 15 minutes to get a table. Before they seat you, they also take your order first so you don't have to wait as long for the food when you sit down. I think that's a very efficient method for a small place like this.
