The Alchemist Cafe (Tsim Sha Tsui) — Restaurant in Hong Kong

have always heard of how crowded this cafe is; no matter which branch it is! finally got a chance to try ❤️ since they are known for their creative coffee, it’s a must for me to try and they did not disappoint🥹 i could tell how well-thought each drink was🪄

the star of the show for me is the Dancing Grapes 🍇 it’s grape-infused coffee, topped with a delightful grape foam and real grapes. at first, the foam was thick & sizzling, but it settled down quiet quickly. it was like drinking coffee, but with a refreshing Japanese grape drink aftertaste. so unique and enjoyable!😍

For example Asparagus Chicken Pasta has mushroom and pesto sauce which would have been very nice as a vegetarian dish without the chunky chicken pieces; otherwise, perhaps the chicken pieces were smaller and shredded instead might work better. The Shrimp and Salman Roe Pasta would have been much more elegant without the Japanese fish cake pieces (Naruto Kamaboko). While I understand this is a Japanese Italian Fusion restaurant but that's just it.

I don't recall what I had for dinner last time I was here a few months ago but my return for lunch today was based on the fond...
