Even though I don't drink, LFK is a great place for food if you know where to go!Last time at LKF I had amazing African food without trekking too far because LKF is really close to the MTR.There is another branch of Rakuen in Causeway Bay but frankly I prefer this branch because it is much more accessible and the male staff here was so professional and spoke fluent ENGLISH.A great place for XBC's to hangout!I have previously tried Rakuen in Causeway Bay and the food was great so I did not hesita
Last time at LKF I had amazing African food without trekking too far because LKF is really close to the MTR.
There is another branch of Rakuen in Causeway Bay but frankly I prefer this branch because it is much more accessible and the male staff here was so professional and spoke fluent ENGLISH.
A great place for XBC's to hangout!
I have previously tried Rakuen in Causeway Bay and the food was great so I did not hesitate to try the LKF branch.
It is only on the 4th floor too which is a short elevator ride compared to the CWB branch.

Mozuku seaweed:
Mozuku is a type of seaweed that is characterized by its unique viscous texture and high contents of fucoidan which claim to cause cancer cells to self destruct.It was served in vinegar and extremely appetizing with a slimey thick texture.

Bitter gourd pickle preserve:
The bitter gourd was nice and crunchy with a delicious savoury taste as it was pickled in beer according to the menu.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried soft shell crab:
The soft shell crabs were packed with unami taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Jewel leaf:
These Jewel leaves were magic and stunning, they appear to have tiny water droplets on the surface but they are tiny sacs of liquid.When you touch them those droplets do not come off.
Jewel leaves are scientifically called Mesembryanthemum crystallinum which is covered with large, glistening bladder cells, commonly called common ice plant, crystalline iceplant or iceplant.
When you eat them, they are delicate and crispy and just collapse into liquid with a savory taste.
Its almost like a fibreless vegetable!

French fries with miso dip:
The fries were not really Okinawan but I ordered it because of the miso dip and it was really delicious because it was creamy and salty, and tasted like a cheesy dip.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Taco rice:
Previously tried this at WIRED CAFE and really liked it because it is similar to Chili con carne.The taste was amazing because it is really similar to Mexican chili con carne and the meat is grounded finely.
The mince was fresh and did not have any chewy bits in it.

Grilled capelin in vinegar:
Following fries, these grilled capelins in vinegar were a good follow up, ie fish and chips and these fish were delicious because of the vinegar! ★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Peanut flavoured tofu:
Tried this before at the CWB branch and I loved it.It was delicious because the texture is a bit like mochi tofu with a hint of peanut if you realy concentrate your tastebuds.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deluxe sashimi platter:
Although you can get sashimi anywhere, the sashimi here was really fresh.The scallop sashimi was natrually sweet and the sea urchin was amazing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Deep fried camembert:
The deep fried camembert was delicious, it was oozing with melted cheese in the middle.If it is too cheesy, there is a blueberry dip to go with it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fried minced chicken pinchos:
This was a cute snack, it was minced chicken rolled into balls and coated with breadcrumbs.It was delicious with the delicious tangy sauce provided.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy lotus root slices:
These crispy lotus root slices were delicious and basically taste like crisps, great with beer if you drink.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Icecream:
Sweet potato icecream:Out of the three flavours, this was my favourite because of the colour and sweet potato taste.
Okinawa sugar icecream:
This was the brown one on the far right corner, the okinawa sugar taste was subtle.
Cookie and sea salt icecream:
I was expecting the sea salt taste to be strong but I could not taste it, however the cookie and vanilla taste was more prominent.
