2017 Summer days in Hong Kong are almost gone but it is still humid and hot during the day. Being based in Kowloon during the day, I never get my smoothie bowl cravings satisfied in the day. Is it really not a popular thing in Hong Kong?

Luckily, I had some time to travel to Hong Kong Island a few days ago and I came to this branch in Sai Ying Pun for my lunch. It took me a little while to find this place. When you Google the address, you would end up being on Third Street because that's the building address. However, you would actually need to turn to Centre Street, walk uphill for a bit and go up the stairs on your right side. It's just right next to that little rest area there.

The store isn't big but it shows its menu and stock clearly. There isn't any seats indoor but you could sit right outside the store front. There are two cushion seats and three wooden small tables.

For smoothie bowls, the menu is simple to read and decide on. There are three different types of base, including Chocolate for Breakfast, Berry Nice & Green Scream. Each of these smoothie bowls are $80 and comes with four toppings. The toppings are the common ones for smoothie bowls. You could ask the server for the fresh fruits available too!

We ordered Chocolate for Breakfast & Berry Nice. The fresh fruits available for the day were blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. I prefer fresh fruits so I picked fresh blueberries, fresh strawberries, gluten free granola and goji berries for my toppings for Berry Nice. The toppings for Chocolate for Breakfast were frozen raspberries, banana chips, gluten free granola & almond silvers.

After we placed our order, we sat outside to wait for it. Okay, it was hot outside and we were sweating so much already, but it wasn't a bad place to be sitting outdoor given we were actually just facing the rest area but not like the actual road with people and cars going by all the time.

Finally the smoothie bowls are ready! I took a few quick pictures and immediately stuffed them into my mouth. The toppings were of good quality and the base was with good flavours and texture. I think the Chocolate for Breakfast is more flavourful and rich but Berry Nice definitely felt a lot healthier! The smoothie bowls were of generous portions and I almost couldn't finish mine (for lunch).

I wished that there were indoor settings but it actually wasn't a bad experience sitting outside even though it was a boiling hot day. The atmosphere and the deliciousness made up for it. I would definitely come back to try some other combination of smoothie bowls or other goodies!
