 Positioned itself as a modern and sophisticated lounge. Bitters & Sweets is somewhere comfortable where you feel you can have a meaningful conversation with friends. I sat by the window and looked distantly at the hustle and bustle on Wellington Street as I was handed over the menu.

The menu pleasantly surprised me with a good number of savoury options (like cheese plate, paramesan fries, foie gras toast) on top of the sweets and drinks.

 Yes while the sweets are supposed to be in the spotlight, I couldn't help myself from ordering the Spam Fries (HK$90)! These spam fries came out piping hot (beware, handle with care
)!! Packed with the addictive luncheon meat flavours, each piece was surprisingly crunchy with crispy edges (oh and not too oily at all). The sriracha mayonnaise sauce had a lovely peppery kick to it. The garlic aroma went surprising well with the spam fries. This is a nice twist to the usual potato FRIES. A superb bar snack to go with your drinks!

 Words just cannot do this justice.

I just cannot describe how much we loved this S'mores (HK$100). Awesome presentation bringing us childhood flavours! The toasted marshmallows were served in a mini cast-iron skillet with chocolate sauce underneath and graham crackers by the side. I absolutely adored the tiny spatula spoons which were not only cute, but also allowed me to scrap every last bit of the mashmallows and chocolate off the skillet.

 Look at that!!
 The fluffy mashmallows were perfectly burnt with a crispy brown top and melt-in-your-mouth soft centre. The chocolate sauce was not your ordinary chocolate sauce, it was infused with chilli! That gave this reimagined S'mores this extra dimension on top of the sweetness. It was finger licking good!! (I really literally licked my fingers..)

Note: for the elegant ones out there who would like to keep your fingers clean, I heard that Bitters & Sweets will also be serving "Lollipops" soon - which is a portable version of the S'mores.

 This instagram worthy cocktail is the Smokey Joe (HK$180). As I tasted it, it reminded me of a traditional Old-Fashioned but revamped with coffee-infused bourbon. It was a good cocktail with some depth and hints of sweetness of chestnut and chocolate. Cherry wood smoke was pumped onto the drink and trapped under a glass lid before serving which gave this lovely visual effect as well as a distinctive woody and smokey taste to the drink.

 Absosultely my kind of a Comfort Drink - The Sesame (HK$150). It was made with spiced rum and roast black sesame. This was full-bodied and sinfully rich. Yes, it was quite creamy and did remind me of the Chinese dessert "Sesame soup". Fear not though, it was well-balanced, with hazelnut afternotes and (most importantly) be assured that you can taste the rum. Loved it!



To lose balance sometimes is part of living a balanced life.

As I enjoyed the bitters and the sweets from Bitters & Sweets, I reminded myself once again to enjoy both the bitters and the sweets in life.
