Strolling along Amoy Street alone for a late lunch, a bright orange cafe with a sweet smell of tomato caught my eyes. Drawn by the word "Kale", the next thing I realised was --- my legs were already dragging me towards this little cafe.I was warmly welcomed by the waitresses who kept asking me what salad would I like to have --- guess it was because all that I was carrying was a gym bag Without hesitation, I ordered <the Kale> wrap.

I was warmly welcomed by the waitresses who kept asking me what salad would I like to have --- guess it was because all that I was carrying was a gym bag
Without hesitation, I ordered <the Kale> wrap. As all the salad choices looked so fresh and tasty, I couldn't resist the temptation and went for the "Set 2" meal deal, which gave me a choice of 2 salads by +HK$30. Feeling thirsty after gym and seeing the reasonably priced coconut water at +HK$12 (which is about what you pay for at a supermarket) upon purchase of a wrap, I made it into a HK$100 lunch deal.
I started with the Kale wrap as it was freshly toasted and warm...

Ummm... I was so happy to be munching my way through a generous portion of seriously fresh kale.
Tortilla was soft and tasted fresh, light toasted just right.
Avocado was ripe, fresh and creamy, in an apt amount.
Wish there could be more cucumber and red onion.
As to the homemade hummus... to be honest I only realised in hindsight that the light and refreshing dressing was the hummus they were talking about. While I like how light it was, in the appropriate amount so that I could enjoy the super fresh kale without getting sauce all over my fingers, I could hardly tell it was hummus --- 'cause it was so runny it felt like a normal light salad dressing. I was looking forward to some creamy, if not mushy, chickpeas.
Nevertheless, this was all in all one refreshingly delicious wrap made with fresh ingredients. No regrets in ordering that!
Turning to the salad... with some difficulty ('cause all looked yummy), I picked <Thyme roasted vegetables> and <Tuna pole with sesame citrus dressing> in the end.

Everything was fresh and lightly seasoned on point --- I particularly like the crunchy lotus, lightly chargrilled sweet potato, broccoli and tuna. Only wishing there were more tuna!

All in all, this was an enjoyable light lunch. I find the portion reasonable for the price and location. This may not be the best place to eat in, but I was lucky enough to have the whole place to myself for enjoying a quiet late lunch. Looking forward to be back and trying out the other wraps, salads and soups
