Charlie Brown Cafe - Hong Kong

On our first night in Hong Kong, we had our dinner at Charlie Brown Cafe.  It's a Peanuts themed cafe located at Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong.  The place is decorated with lots of Peanuts characters like Snoopy, Woodstock, Charlie Brown and the rest of his friends.

Charlie Brown Cafe is best known for their desserts.  Their products range from tiramisu, mousses and cheesecakes.  Being a fan of mango-based desserts and yogurts, I got their Mango Yogurt Cheesecake.  I know I had to avoid sweets that night but I'm not regretting that I gave in to the temptation.  It was a delightful treat. 

Meet chocolate Snoopy!  I didn't have the heart to eat him. ;-p

Aside from the sweet delights, they also serve pastas and sandwiches.  What I had for that night is fresh mushroom linguine with black truffle sauce.  Also, to soothe my sore throat, I had minestrone soup.  

The linguine was rich in flavor. It was very creamy and the mushrooms are really fresh.  The minestrone soup was very heartwarming.  The next time I go there, I wouldn't think twice having that soup again, even if I don't have a sore throat. :)

My throat was a bit sore on our first day in Hong Kong.  So to soothe it, I had minestrone soup.  Mmmm mmmm so warm and comforting :) 

With its pleasant ambiance and good food, I'm not surprised that Hong Kong promotes the place not only to her locals but to tourists as well.  The next time I go to Hong Kong , I'll make sure this is part of the itinerary again, especially if my kids are with me. :)

Toi Hokkaido Rice Pizza

Sukiyaki Beef Rice Pizza

Yep, you read that right... Rice Pizza. :)  The mere name of the restaurant caught our attention so we decided to have rice pizza for our late lunch.  I haven't tried it before, and neither did my friends Era and Ms. Oma.  Rice and pizza combined sound like tons of calories and carbo, but we realized that it was worth a try... after all, we were about to have a trek to the Ten Thousand Buddhas afterwards. 

Extremely famished, we ordered for a Squash soup and a regular Sukiyaki Beef Rice Pizza.  And believe me, not only were our stomachs satisfied, but our taste buds were equally delighted as well :)  The Squash soup was very creamy.  There were also what seemed to be some squash chips that went with it, if only all squash are cooked that way, there would be no problem feeding kids. The Sukiyaki Beef Rice Pizza was a delight as well.  It was not only topped with sukiyaki beef, but also some cheese and some smoked onion skins. It was very rich in flavor. And the cheese, oh the cheese! I could still remember how orgasmic it felt the moment I bit on a slice of rice pizza. 

And needless to say, after our meal in Toi, we could barely walk... yes, we were that full :)
