I was in Kowloon City to visit the gravesite nearby during Ching Ming. But as I got there too late and it had closed, I didn't know what to do. So boyfriend came out and we had dinner. While waiting for him, I was thinking of what to eat in the area as I didn't want Thai and the only other places I knew of were dessert places or hotpot. I came across this cafe like restaurant, looked up on Openrice if it was any good and decided to give it a try.They had dinner sets so we decided on the two peop
They had dinner sets so we decided on the two people dinner set ($498). Apparently, sets menus are in Chinese but they include an appetizer,two mains, two desserts and coffee or tea. A la carte is available. That menu is in both English and Chinese. They only take cash.
Oven Baked Potato Skins with Pancetta. The appetizer was potato skins with cheese and pancetta. This was ok but I prefer by potato skins a bit more crispier. It was cheesey enough with a nice sprinkle of pancetta. It was served with some sour cream and a side of salad. The salad was alright with a light dressing.
18 Month Serrano Ham Linguine. One of our mains was a pasta dish. The pasta was al dente and I did like the sauce used as it was quite fragrant with a bit of heat to give it a kick. However, I didn't really like the ham used as it was tough like jerky and way too salty. Perhaps it wouldn't have been so noticable if they perhaps sliced it up and made them more bitesize? I don't know but this huge slab of meat made it very unlikable.
Supreme Beef Burger with Crispy Potato Wedges. The other main was a burger. The potato wedges were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. However, they served them with mayo. What is with this strange trend lately of serving fries with anything other than ketchup? I think this is the second time I've encountered this non-ketchup with fries movement. Strange dipping sauce aside, the burger was ok. The patty was huge and cooked to a perfect medium rare. It was topped with melted cheese and some lettuce. There didn't appear to be any other sauce added. For that I think it was missing that element as a burger needs a secret sauce to make it different than the rest. The bun was toasted but toasted way too long so it was just plain crunchy.
Cheesecake. Dessert was dessert of the day. We had two choices so we chose both of them. The first was a cheesecake. This was quite good. Rich and decadent with a crumbly graham crust. It was actually a rather large piece so was very filling afterwards.

Mocha. Boyfriend chose the mocha and it came with a cute bear latte art. It wasn't too sweet and had a slight chocolate taste. There was a nice amount of foam.
An ok cafe with quite decent dessert and would definitely return for the dessert again. Perhaps try the coffee next time if I'm in the area and want a place to just relax.
