Restaurant Review - Urban Coffee Roaster (Updated) - Hong Kong

 

The place for coffee (and tiramisu) lovers.

(Updated on 27-12-2018)

Coming to this place during Christmas time and I was surprise to see there is well-decorated Christmas tree near the entrance haha.

Again, I have order this Portobello Quinoa Salad (HKD 68) like last time. If you compare these two photos, you can see that the red cabbage has been greatly increased in terms of the portion, and the added raw onion. Glad to see there's some improvements, or adjustments for the dishes so as to stay on the track. Fulfilling! Yet to try their desserts though...

Impression

This cafe is located near the main road in Prince Edward. When you hit the ground and look around, you would find that the street were so quiet, the shops nearby were either closed by belonged to some old-fashioned business that I doubted if it was still running. So I would say this cafe was like a local gem in the district, providing quality food in a relatively quiet (after all, what exactly next to this place is the busy main road) environment.



We started our afternoon with this Portobello Quinoa Salad (HKD 68). Everything was within our expectation except the grilled mushroom was quite juicy with the right amount of seasoning. The sauce was not heavy - a bit sour and sweet. With a soft-boiled egg, cherry tomatoes, a handful of mushroom, some quinoa and salad vegetables, the salad was not that boring.



The classic Tiramisu (HKD 25) is not an ordinary one as you can see in the photo. The creative presentation and remake certainly gave this dessert its uniqueness. The cream was half in the liquid state with 4 relatively huge lady finger. I did not feel the heaviness of this one because of the minimal heavy cream and sugar. It was a beautiful end to my afternoon tea.

Wrap up

I have actually ordered a cup of Iced Black Coffee (not pictured) after the meal and it was ordinary. As the name suggested, this place is famous for its high quality coffee (some coffee beans are exclusive to this cafe). If you are a big fan of coffee (I am not one yet, unfortunately), I would suggest dropping by and giving it a try.
