Foxhole Cafe @The Midtown

Foxhole Cafe at The Midtown (previously Hougang Plaza) was really a well-hidden place, for we got lost trying to look for it 😛

Once we went up to the lovely second storey with the whimsical unicorn mural and cosy environment, we did not feel like leaving anymore 😛

The drinks menu was quite interesting, and I got myself a refreshing Acai, Cranberry & Pomegranate Juice ($6.90). Hubby thought that his Iced Latte ($4.50) was just alright. We also shared a Blueberry Muffin ($4.90), which was moist and soft, but a little too sweet for us.

Overall, it was quite a lovely place to chill out 🙂

The Cofftea Shop @Kennedy Town, Hong Kong

Posted on 8 December 2016 by lendeliz

2016-12-08 08.22.34-1

This was really a hole-in-the-wall shop, with only 1 table and 1 chair. But it certainly did not hinder its popularity though, for there was a streaming flow of people doing take-aways early in the morning at 8am.

We decided to try the Cofftea (HKD 35), which was a combination of latte and chai tea (a Western take on 鴛鴦 Yin-Yang). The coffee overpowered the chai, and so it was a tad too strong for me, but hubby enjoyed it very much.

To complete our breakfast, we also had a Blueberry Muffin (HKD 22) which was pretty moist and delicious, though a bit too sweet for us.

​Manchester Press @Rankins Lane, Melbourne

Posted on 10 August 2016 by lendeliz

2016-08-10-14-57-40Located in a little alley, we decided to have our coffee break here, after searching through Google ratings!

Truth be told, we had wanted to go Brother Baba Budan (higher rating, haha) but it was very crowded and didn’t looked like it’s a place for sit-downs. So we wandered along and suddenly caught sight of the MP signboard when we peered into the little alley..

And so we had, clockwise from top left:

  • Matcha Latte (A$5): This was a very smooth cup of matcha latte, not overly sweet, and it had an ending tone of slightly bitter matcha flavour. We liked it!
  • Hot Chocolate (A$4): A rich and sweeter chocolate drink compared to what we had at Waves Port Campbell.
  • Flat White (A$4): Smooth and milky, not bad at all.
  • Mocha (A$4.50): A stronger cup of coffee. My first sip of mocha, so not very sure if it was good or not.
  • Blueberry Muffin (A$4.8): We gathered that bagels were definitely more popular than muffins, for our blueberry muffin became a blueberry bagel when served! Haha, maybe we should not have clarified and sticked with the bagel, for the muffin was super sweet! The blueberries were very juicy though.

This was a rather large cafe with nice wall art, and it was not crowded during the afternoon that we were here, so we could chill here till we felt fully recharged!

SACRED Cafe @13 Ganton Street

Popular cafe

We were quite tired today, having spent the last few nights chasing northern lights and taking a late flight back to London, so today was supposed to be a chill out day.

We continued to roam around after lunch, checking out some shops in the Soho area, and then we saw SACRED Cafe, which is a New Zealand style artisan coffee bar, in front of us. It looked popular, so we headed in… Haha!

This is a cosy place which has both indoor and alfresco areas (which also meant smoker-friendly :(). It has piped-in music and free wifi so you can see people with a laptop and a latte occupying tables around.

We also saw stairs leading downstairs so we were guessing there is also basement seating, or it may just be a toilet. 🙂

Oven Marvel @Sunshine Plaza

Chicken Pie

Chicken Pie

This little shop caught our attention while we were looking for lunch. But there were only 2 tables available and completely filled with people, so we decided to grab lunch first before coming back to try our luck.

At $3.80 a piece, the Chicken Pie was not exactly cheap, but it was quite delicious! Slightly spicy due to the generous amount of black pepper, the fillings had whole chunks of chicken along with onions, corn, peas and carrots. The flaky pastry skin was delicious without being overly buttery.

Banana Walnut Muffin

Banana Walnut Muffin

Nice enough that we decided to try the muffin too! Got ourselves a Banana Walnut Muffin for $2. As I bit into the muffin, I could smell and taste the sweetness of the bananas! The top was slightly crispy with crunchy walnut bits, and the rest of the muffin was moist with a generous amount of bananas. The best part was that it was not super sweet, so we didn’t feel jelat after finishing it.

What a great way to finish off our meal 🙂
