Food: Hong Kong Muji Cafe - A simple life

Stumble upon Muji cafe a while back. I didn't know they have one in Hong Kong. I was actually quite excited to be able to try it but could not make it that day.

I finally make it few Sundays back.






The cafe decor is really simple. I especially loved the long table seating that faces the Muji Store. It makes eating alone less awkward. Hong kong has this habit of putting 2 strangers sitting at the same table facing each other. Lunch/dinner crowd I know, but the idea of facing a stranger while savouring the food, it is just awkward. Throughout the meal, the 2 persons just stare at their handphone. True story. 



I really really really like the fried chicken with sweet chilli sauce. It tasted like KFC fried chicken but the healthier version. I wish someone would share the recipe with me. I want to eat it everyday. 
The food they served is very simple. It is a set meal. You can choose 3/4 dishes each, comes with a bowl of rice(white or brown), and a drink. I ordered another hot chocolate to try(not sweet at all, so doesn't do well with my tastebud).

The bill for these 2 sets of meal cost HKD 231 which is SGD 38. It is self-service. 

Now that I am looking the photos, this sure look like economy rice in Singapore! In Singapore, we have these stalls where they will prepare a lot of dishes and you will pick whatever you wants to eat, they will put the chosen dishes on a plate together with rice. It will cost you around SGD 7, with aircon. This muji cafe served atas(read:In Singlish, means "high class") economy rice!

Food: Classified - A quiet break

Went town for some shopping few weeks back. Never underestimate the number of people shopping in town. Sometime I forgot I am not in Singapore anymore, but the crowds remind me so.

One thing that really puzzle me is why do the locals wear jeans in summer. I really ponder over this question when I am out alone in shorts. I did my best by not wearing flip flop to town, I did that in Singapore. Shorts and flip flop, the perfect pair all year round. =) Don't think I will get an answer on that.

Oh yah, I digress. The purpose of this post is to write down the cafe I went that weekend. I am going to blog about the places I went in Hong Kong in case my memory fails me(Actually it already did).

I wanted to stay way from the crowd for a quiet coffee/break, so I hop over to the building beside IFC. The initial plan was to try out this place call Liberty but it was closed. Wanted to be adventurous instead of my favourite starbuck, and here we go.


The interior is not very big and the whole place give a woody vibe. 

There are quite a lot of food.

The black coffee is a bit light and not so much on the roasted side. 

Egg Benedict. Not bad but the sauce is more on the sour side.

The patty is juicy and I like the thick piece of ham. But the portion is a big. 

If you like a quiet corner in town, you can try coming here.
