852: Layer's Cafe & Pancake (Kowloon)

Boy, do I love Kowloon city! All the good food is hidden in that pocket. I found another small local restaurant that I like here! My friend and I love their soufflé pancakes and the 🍫 🍌 milkshake! Their lunch set is super reasonably priced! It comes with a main course (your choice of pasta) and pancake dessert (as shown) and a drink. We did not like their main course that much but we’d definitely come back for the pancakes ! It’s moist, eggy, airy and light ❤️ The center is a bit more moist than most soufflé pancakes you find out there, as it’s a bit undercooked to give the melt in your mouth texture. I didn’t mind that at all !!

852: Deng G 鄧記 - Wan Chai

Tried out this Michelin recommended restaurant on my friend’s birthday. Sichuan food is one of my favourite cuisine, especially in the winter. Here I absolutely loved the prime rib!!! It was fell off the bone tender! The Spicy Chicken was also addicting! It's crunchy, hot, peppery, numbing and tingly! The spiciness was just right for us canto peeps. Not the Sichuan kind of spicy that hurts your throat and ears, and make you tear afterward. We also ordered a bottle of Moutai, and truthly speaking, for that price point the chinese wine was surprisingly good.

I’d wanna come back to try out the famous Sichuan dishes like the saliva chicken or Kung Bao chicken, and the Sichuan boiled fish. .
