Hong Kong | WIRED CAFE

cafe June 22, 2013
I love cafes. After checking out all the restaurants at Hysan Place (so much variety! They all look so nice!) we finally decided on Wired Cafe on the top floor. What caught my attention was the menu at the front showcasing Dutch Baby Oven Pancake (sold on the name already!) and the 'retro'? decor. There's also a nice view of Sogo/CWB.     ...

Was scared at first 'cause...

Butao Ramen - voted Best Restaurant in CWB (Open Rice) and there was a long line up for it, but tbh I prefer the foodcourt/TO's ramen. Of course, my must eat Australia Dairy Co. There was actually a line up this time and they're closed Thursdays now!! This time discovered the hot honey lemon water is the BEST!!Simple is best: Tai Po Cooked...
