Kelly's Cape Bop (灣仔)

I went to Kelly's Cape Bop with a group of friends on the 27th August for dinner. The exterior of the restaurant was so cute- it looked very welcoming, friendly, and yet proffessional and a good quality restaurant. The interior was also very organised and comfortable, with 2 small tables for us to sit at, and a TV playing korean music videos  

The lady making the food was very kind and friendly when we ordered our food. We ordered some chicken bites and they arrived quickly- they were absolutely delicious! They came with rice caked, sweet potato, and dumplings, and the flavouring was just right for me! We also ordered (pomegranate) vingerarade, which I can't reccomend enough- you MUST try it! It is just like a pomegranate fizzy drink, and only cost $28- so worth it!

After our meal, I ordered some kimbap to takeaway for my lunch the next day! It was very tasty, and was also presented very well and served with some nuts. Best new restaurant find ever! I would seriously reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a good korean restaurnt/takeaway, or just wants to try something new, as it was definitely a successful dinner for me and my friends!

Pololi (中環)

Had lunch here with a friend. The restaurant was quite easy to find and was clean and had nice lighting and interior. I ordered a salad bowl with vinegarete with salmon yuzu and some tuna (forgot the exact choice name!) from the vast selection of fish and vegetables to choose from. The bowls were quickly put together and we were served immediately. Although it cost $90 it was so worth it's- refreshing, crisp, and tasty. We sat on one of the stools in the restaurant and ate there. Lovely servers, nice declarations, and great, healthy food. Would definitely go again if looking for a nice bite to eat in central. 👌👌

譽滿坊 (跑馬地)

I came here for lunch with a friend during the week, and it was not very busy which was nice. This restaurant is located on Sing Woo road, or the 'Happy Valley highstreet', so is easy to find and convenient. We were seated straight away and ordered quickly. The decor of the restaurant was quite traditional and local, and gave a lovely atmosphere to the place, and it looked quite clean.  

We were very hungry, so ordered some... 
panfried dumplings (wo teep): crispier and more fried than I prefer but still had a tasty pork filling,
pork soup balls: quite hot, but delicious and a nice balance of soup and pork and the outside was soft
dau mui (with garlic soy sauce): nice and soft, even better with the soy sauce
shrimp dumpling: the taste of shrimp was qutie strong but the texture was nice.
We were also served jasmine tea which was a bit bitter but nice and hot.

The price for 2 of us (for 6 dishes and jasmine tea) was $317, and I think that this meal was great. This dim sum restaurant is quite cheap (around $48 or so per dish) compared to some of the other ones in HK, and overall the meal was delicious. It's location is also great as it's so easy to get to. I will definitely be coming back to this place in the future to deal with my chinese food cravings!

駿景軒 (跑馬地)

I went to Golden Valley with my family for a dim-sum lunch on a sunday. UNfortunately there was a slight mix-up with our booking, so we had to wait for a few minutes before being seated, but considering that it was a Sunday (very busy) they seated us in just 7 minutes which was rather quick. We were given our menus straight away and offered Jasmine tea and water. The tea was quite hot but it was lovely. The staff were very efficient with their service and we ordered quickly. The food came in about 10 or 15 minutes, which was very fast considering that the whole restaurant was full.

We ordered yeung chow fried rice:very tasty and perfectly done, shrimp dumplings:nice texture and a not too overpowering taste,  deep fried spring rolls: my favourite, perfectly crispy and with a lot of filling, cha sui bao: fluffy and soft, nice flavour, gluttinous rice with ham: interesting texture, a bit too sticky for me (but my family loved them), but nice ham.

I really enjoyed this meal, but wished that they had some da mui or bok choy to have on the side. Apart from that, everything that we ordered was lovely, and we had a great lunch! The price was also very reasonable (most dishes were about $42 or $48), especialy compared with some very expensive dim sum places. Will definitely be coming again soon.

Häagen-Dazs (銅鑼灣)

I came here for afternoon tea with some fo my friends. We ordered 3 of the ice cream creations that they offered: Flower Blossoms (6 most popular flavours in mini scoops in a waffle bowl with cream and strawberries), Moon Shadow (3 large scoops of ice cream with banana and brownie bits and mini marshmallows), and finally French Roaming (summer berries ice cream block topped with 9 mini scoops of ice cream, berries, berry sauce, and lady finger biscuits and wafer biscuits)! They were delicious and the ice cream flavours were lovely, the waffles were sweet and not too soft, the ice cream was cool and creamy, the brownie bits were chocolatey and fudgy, and the presentation was superb. It would have been perfect for a birthday or a special celebration. My friend had some coupons which meant that we didn't have to pay very much for the ice creams, which was lucky, but for those who don't have coupons then the ice cream collections are quite expensive, which is why I would mainly reccomend them for a special occasion. The service was lovely, and the waitress was very kind, and the atmosphere was nice as it wasn't too loud. There wasn't very much seating but it was not very busy when we went and the seats were comfortable. They also had a large range of different ice cream flavours (many of which I hadn't seen at any other ice cream stores, and were more diverse and interesting than the standard flavours like chocolate and vanilla) that you could choose from if you were getting an ice cream cone or a scoop which looked fantastic as well. Will most definitely be going back again in the future!
