Relish (Kwun Tong)

A Japanese-style upstairs cafe in Kwun Tong, @relishcafehk not only sells delectable yoshoku (western food), but also zakka (miscellaneous household items) 🇯🇵 The spacious wooden interior offers different types of seating: high tables, standard dining tables, comfy sofas, low coffee tables by the window and even an outdoor patio to soak up the sun (Tip: book in advance to skip the long queue on weekends) 🤓 The lunch set included a starter (soup or salad of the day), a main dish and a drink (basic coffee, brown rice tea or hawaiian iced tea). Our soup of the day was a creamy corn soup that came with a slice of crispy garlic toast 🌽 [Risotto with Slow-cooked Wagyu Cheek] This really exceeded our expectations, as the wagyu was so tender that it basically melted in our mouths. The explicit crunchiness of the fried lotus roots and cucumber dices also contrasted well with the soft rice, enhancing the depth of the dish 😍 [Roasted Wild Vegetables Quinoa Garden Salad] We got this healthy choice to save quota for dessert. The colorful salad had huge chunks of roasted Japanese pumpkins and bell peppers. Although the tanginess of the onion vinaigrette and cherry tomatoes helped stimulate our appetite, the portion was quite big that we almost couldn’t finish it 🥗 [Keto Basque Burnt Cheesecake] Must order even if you’re not on a diet! There are 4 flavors available: original, matcha, hojicha and earl grey. We got the classic one and couldn’t believe it was sugar-free and gluten-free, as it was even better than regular cheesecakes! The unique texture was thick and creamy while the huge blob of sour cream on top added extra taste 🤤🤤🤤 [Matcha Latte] We added +$12 for a drink upgrade. The matcha latte had a smooth mouthfeel and a balanced bittersweetness after stirring it even, plus the latte art was quite cute 🤗 📍Relish Shop B, 5/F, Lucky Factory Building, 63-65 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong (MTR exit B1) #hklife #cafe #foodie #café#gourmetsummer
